She had gone overseas to look for her mother, and yet Mother Zhuang had gone missing… Wave after wave of bad events had been coming one after another, and yet she had still been able to keep this child. It was nothing short of a miracle — were the heavens pitying them for how bitter their romance was?

Just as Si Zhengting was letting his thoughts wander, Lin Xi’er rushed forward and made a motion to hit him!

Su Yanbin quickly stepped forward and stopped her. “What are you doing? Are you crazy?”

Lin Xi’er gave a bitter smile. “Me, crazy? If not for him, Nainai wouldn’t be in this state! Nainai had always been strong and healthy, and it was only because of his mother who had driven the car to run Mother Zhuang over that she wore herself out!”

The mention of this made Lin Xi’er tear up. If anyone knew how much Nainai had suffered in the past, it was her.

She had grown up together with Nainai. Coming from a well-to-do family, she had always gotten what she wanted; on the other hand, Nainai, with Mother Zhuang, had always been an ordinary folk.

Yet Nainai had been mature. Lin Xi’er remembered how she once had a Snow White doll that cost a mere hundred dollars, and it had been something that Zhuang Nainai liked very much. Seeing how her daughter was always holding the doll in her hand, Mother Zhuang had intended to get Nainai the very same doll.

But Nainai, who was only five or six years old then, had shaken her head and stared at her mother with big, bright eyes. “Snow White is too fair. I don’t like her~”

Lin Xi’er had thought that it was funny, thinking that Zhuang Nainai had been lying. Thereafter, however, Zhuang Nainai had told her, “Our family can buy a whole week’s worth of meals with a hundred dollars. My mother works so hard to earn money, so I must be frugal for her…”

When Zhuang Nainai had grown up, she became even more mature than before. Both of them had gotten into their local high school, but Zhuang Nainai had also gotten accepted by the high school for people from high society. At that point in time, everyone had warned her not to go.

For an ordinary person, entering a high school filled with people from high society was not going to be an enjoyable experience. It had been a known fact that students from poor family backgrounds would be pressured and bullied in the school.

And yet, Zhuang Nainai had been insistent on attending, saying that she wanted a new experience. She had even patted her chest in confidence, reassuring her mother that she wouldn’t be bullied in school. Inwardly, however, she had asserted that going to that high school meant that they didn’t need to pay school fees.

And then, what had happened next?

The one time she had been bold and rash was… Si Zhengting.

In those three years, whenever Lin Xi’er and Zhuang Nainai did homework together, Zhuang Nainai had all too frequently brought up Si Zhengting.

Then?

He had gone overseas, Zhuang Nainai’s mother met with the accident, and Lin Xi’er saw how Zhuang Nainai went from being lively and cute to becoming a strong yet worn-out person who had to take care of her mother while working.

Even though life had been this hard, she had been optimistic and smiling throughout.

Lin Xi’er had always felt that Zhuang Nainai was unbeatable and would always be able to find joy in whatever she was doing. Yet, in this very moment, she finally realized that Zhuang Nainai wasn’t unbeatable; it was just that nobody had ever gone to touch the sad parts of her life.

Ever since Zhuang Nainai had married Si Zhengting, her life had become messed up.

All the optimism that Zhuang Nainai possessed had scattered, and it was then that Lin Xi’er first saw signs of weariness, resignation, and sadness on Zhuang Nainai’s face.

All of this had been caused by this man who was now standing in front of Lin Xi’er, the man whom Zhuang Nainai loved so much!

Lin Xi’er simply stared at Si Zhengting, choking on tears. “You know what? Nainai would be leading a happy life if it wasn’t for you.”
