Chapter 383 - 369: Leave No Trace
"What else can we hope for in a lifetime? Just to have someone by our side who understands the cold and the warmth, and then to see our children doing well. Junshan’s daughter is also my daughter. If the child doesn’t understand, can we really hold it against her?"
Liu Mei faced Jin Lirong with a bitter smile, but a cold light flickered in her downcast eyes—if she had known earlier that Ding Luoluo could catch Zhang Min’s eye, she would have pretended to be nicer to her, no matter what. She was too young back then, her methods not sharp enough; otherwise, it might be Tiantian who had married into the Pei Family today.
Thinking about her own daughter, Ding Tiantian, and how she now had someone with Pei Kun’s family background as a "brother-in-law," Liu Mei felt waves of bitterness wash over her. She was very clear that for Tiantian to marry into a family like the Pei Family and have a higher status than Ding Luoluo in marriage was nearly impossible.
Now she could only take a roundabout path, winning over the young one in her grasp first. In the future, she wouldn’t worry about resolving old grievances with Luoluo. When the time came, even if Luoluo was reluctant, for the sake of saving face, she would probably have to submit.
As long as it looked respectable on the surface, their family’s Tiantian could borrow the prestige of the Pei Family.
It was frustrating that her well-calculated plans previously had no chance to take effect, not even getting an opportunity to hold this little girl in her arms—fortunately, the new nanny hired by the Pei Family was easy to fool, otherwise...
"You really are... knowing full well it won’t warm you, yet..." Jin Lirong sighed, her face showing sympathy. Thankfully, their family didn’t have such a troublesome stepdaughter, because she definitely couldn’t abide warming her face against someone else’s cold backside.
"Give me the child."
