Sheng Tang stood in the elevator, examining herself in the mirror.
She really resembled Cheng Ruojun, only she was more vibrant than the woman in the old photos, and her eyes more composed.
As she looked, Gu Shiting was also watching her.
"Beautiful," he thought to himself.
Sheng Tang’s face was petite, her lips full but not thick, a slightly upturned nose, and large, bright eyes—all crafted to perfection by the creator.
He rarely scrutinized any woman this closely, so to him, Sheng Tang was entirely unique.
Neither of them spoke, looking into the mirror, Fang ngying also glanced over.
She seed to be transported back more than ten years.
Back then, Cheng Ruojun looked just like this.
Although Cheng Ruojun was selfish and worldly, she liked Cheng Ruojun because Cheng Ruojun always helped her.
In the sa alley, there was a willful girl who didn’t like her and would often bully her, saying she had no siblings.
In the entire alley, only she and Cheng Ruojun were only daughters, but Cheng Ruojun was beautiful, all the boys in the alley obeyed her, and she always protected Fang ngying.
The willful girl who bullied Fang ngying was slapped twice by Cheng Ruojun and from then on behaved ekly.
Cheng Ruojun was particularly harsh to others but very kind to Fang ngying.
Once, she got a sweet piece of bread from a classmate, saved half of it, and gave it to Fang ngying during break.
Whenever there was sothing good to eat at the Cheng Family, Cheng Ruojun always called Fang ngying over.
She loved Fang ngying like an older sister.
So, later on, when Fang ngying covered for her, was forced to drop out of school, and even raised her daughter, she held little resentnt.
Even though she knew Cheng Ruojun had used her in this matter.
Her love for Sheng Tang was sincere, she cared for her like her own daughter.
Thinking about this, the elevator dinged, and they had arrived.
Sheng Tang got out first and went to knock on the door, loudly shouting, "Grandma, we’re back."
Her mother laughed from behind, "We have the key."
She was about to use the key to open the door when Grandma poked her head out.
The house was filled with a welcoming warmth.
"It’s cold outside, isn’t it?" Grandma smiled, "Co in quickly."
She then asked Gu Shiting, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not as comfortable as at ho, Grandma, but it was okay," Gu Shiting responded skillfully.
As expected, Grandma bead with laughter.
They all sat in the living room chatting, Grandma turned on the TV, adding a bit of lively atmosphere to the house.
About ten minutes later, Sheng Sidong ca upstairs.
Grandma and Fang ngying imdiately looked at him.
He signaled to Grandma with his eyes and whispered, "Mom..."
Grandma understood and followed him to the kitchen.
The two spoke quietly in the kitchen.
"He wants to et Tangtang, say a few words to her. Tangtang is so grown up now, he won’t snatch her away," Sheng Sidong relayed Xu Bingzhi’s intentions.
Grandma shook her head, "No."
"Tangtang can’t be kept at ho every day, if he wants to see her, he can. He respects us and insists on seeing Tangtang through us," Sheng Sidong said.
Grandma let out a cold laugh.
"Those are his words to you, aren’t they?"
Sheng Sidong nodded, thinking the words were reasonable.
Sheng Tang went to and from school on her own, no one to pick her up, Xu Bingzhi indeed could et her anyti.
Precisely because of this, Sheng Sidong thought it unnecessary to block him.
"You’re being foolish," Grandma said, "If he ets Tangtang alone without our diation, do you think Tangtang would trust him? Not only won’t she trust him, but she’ll resist him.
If he fails to connect, and Tangtang becos defensive, it will be near impossible for him to approach her next ti. He doesn’t dare to risk that, which is why he repeatedly seeks us out.
You are thinking too highly of him; I know exactly what he’s up to."
Sheng Sidong: "..."
