Uncle, are we going back to your place now? Yan Qingsi asked in the car.

Thats now your place too. Butwere not going back yet. Youre going to accompany me to a meeting first, and when its over, Ill take you back. Xia Anlan still thought that it would be best if he kept Yan Qingsi by his side at all times. Otherwise, he would not be at ease.

Ohokay.

Yan Qingsi hesitated a bit before posing her next question: Uncle, can Iask you something?

Xia Anlan smiled. You want to ask who she is, right?

Yan Qingsi nodded. Mmhmm Thats right.

She was curious about what relations.h.i.+p Mrs. You had with the Xia family. She acted as thoughshe were the overseer of the Xias.

Xia Anlan looked at Yan Qingsi. Through her, it was as though he could see her mother. Your mother was ten years younger than me, he said slowly. I was in school when she was born, and I didnt have much time to accompany her. When she was home, she was the only child. Your grandparents were concerned that she would be lonely, so they adopted Xia Rushuang to accompany your mother.

Yan Qingsi only understood everything now. Adopted. Then sheis an adoptive daughter? But why doesnt she

Yan Qingsi wanted to ask why she still called the two Xia elders Uncle and Auntie even though she was an adoptive daughter of the Xias

Xia Anlan extended a hand and brushed it over Yan Qingsis fringe. Qingsi, the Xia family only had one daughter from start until the end. Do you understand?

Yan Qingsi was taken aback. She nodded her head.

The Xias only had one daughter. Any others were only adoptees if they were adoptedthey would never be their daughter.

I havent told you that your mothers name was Xia Baotong. Her nickname was Little Ai

The moment he told her the name, Yan Qingsi suddenly understood everything. These two names were enough to discern how every member of the Xia family had adored and treasured this child. They only had a daughter after a gap of ten yearsshe was loved and treated as the apple of their eyes.

Baotong. The treasure of ones eye*.

That one name solidified her position in the family.

It was a pitythat their precious daughter had faced hards.h.i.+p throughout her entire life. She did not know who she really was even when she died.

Yan Qingsi dipped her head. If that kidnap incident had not happened that time, her mother would definitely have a happy life now, just like Mrs. Yue. Even if she was already a mother and over fifty-years-old, she would still be an innocent, naive little girl before her parents.

However, life was like a drama, where it was always unpredictable. After all, many things do not go ones way

Xia Anlan noticed that Yan Qingsis mood had instantly changed. Whats wrong?

Yan Qingsi chuckled at herself, splaying her arms open. Its nothing I was just having wishful thoughtsif only my mother was still alive It would be great but theres no room for what-ifs in this world. We cant retake what has already happened. The only thing I can dois to avenge her and hope that she will find peace in the afterlife.

Xia Anlans heart weighed even heavier. He patted Yan Qingsis shoulder. Youve suffered all these years. Ill settle the matter regarding your mother. From now on, just do whatever you want to do. If you want to film movies, go ahead. If you want to play, go ahead.

When he mentioned filming, Yan Qingsi hesitated for a while. Uncle Grandfather doesntseemto like me she said.

Its not that he doesnt like you. Its just that all his thoughts are focused on your grandmother now, Xia Anlan rea.s.sured her. He doesnt have much energy to spare for others. Once your grandmother has recovered, then hell like you.

Yan Qingsi nodded her head, remaining silent.
