Mu Ya stuck her body down, wanting to pick up Ning Tong's picture.

Hearing her call Ning Tong's mother too, Ning Zhi Yuan was indescribably excited. He was worried that because Mu Ya was too young, he would always treat him as her mother. So his worries were unnecessary, it was one thing for Mu Ya to call Zhang Xiao mother, but it was another to call Ning Tong mother.

Actually, Mu Ya felt that the Ning Tong in the photo was the same as Zhang Xiao, they were both gentle and kind, and felt especially close.

Seeing Mu Ya struggling to get her hands on Ning Tong's photo, Ning Zhi Yuan turned his head and said to Zhang Xiao who was sitting on the sofa: "Zhang Xiao, I can't hold Mu Ya steady, come over and carry her."

He was only digging a hole and jumping Zhang Xiao into it.

Zhang Xiao wanted to get closer to her to look at the Little Big Sister in the depths of her memories. She wished for nothing more than for Ning Zhi Yuan to call her that, so she immediately walked over.

After she hugged Mu Ya, Mu Ya turned her head to look at her and called her mother as well.

"Mu Ya, this is your mother. You have to remember, she is your mother in mother by blood, I am just your mother in nanny." Since Mu Ya was willing to call Ning Tong's mother, at the right time, Zhang Xiao would tell him that she was not Mu Ya's mother, but was just a nanny.

Ning Zhi Yuan's phoenix eyes flashed, and he gave her a deep glance.

From the beginning till the end, Zhang Xiao had never thought of seizing Ning Tong's daughter and status. It was only because Mu Ya was unwilling to change her words and wanted to cry, that she decided to just follow Mu Ya and let Mu Ya call her mother.

"Mom." Mu Ya did not understand Zhang Xiao's explanation, but she still called him Mama. From the first time she saw Zhang Xiao, she had treated him as her mother.

In the past, she could only see Ning Tong's pictures. But now that she suddenly saw Zhang Xiao, she felt that her outer conditions were similar to her own mother's, so she called him mother and wailed incessantly.

However, she could not understand Mu Ya's current state of mind. She could not understand, and all she knew was to cry for her mother, causing everyone to be stunned and confused.

Zhang Xiao coaxed Mu Ya gently, repeatedly telling him that Ning Tong was her mother.

Mu Ya, on the other hand, kept wanting to take Ning Tong's picture. Zhang Xiao continuously pulled her hands back, and naturally, she could also see the photo frame on the table, which was the picture inside.

She curiously asked Ning Zhi Yuan, "Is this a picture of Mu Ya's mother when she was young?" After asking, she felt rude and also felt that she had asked the wrong question. The factor photos were taken in black and white, and the clothes worn by the two little girls in the photos were from decades ago. When Ning Tong died, he was only twenty-six years old. Even if it was a picture of her when she was young, it was impossible for his to wear clothes like those.

She also remembered that Ning Tong wasn't like that when he was young.

"It's a picture of my mother when she was a little girl."

Ning Zhi Yuan answered in a low voice, her phoenix eyes staring straight at Zhang Xiao, not missing out on even the slightest fluctuations in Zhang Xiao's emotions. Unfortunately, he was unable to see the fluctuations that Zhang Xiao wanted to see. Zhang Xiao could only look at Ning Tong's photo with excitement in his eyes. When he saw the picture of his mother when she was young, Zhang Xiao had been completely unmoved.

Zhang Xiao's indifference told him that Zhang Xiao had never seen an identical photo before. In other words, if Wen Li did not have such a photo, then Wen Li was not the person she was looking for.

His subordinate had said it before, when an identical photo had appeared in Canada, how could it be Wen Li?

After confirming that Zhang Xiao's mother was not the person he was looking for and not his own cousin, Ning Zhi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was also disappointed.

Where was his aunt?

However, Wen Li was not the Gill, so his little aunt was still alive.

What he was most afraid of was that once he found the Gill, it would be dead.

Zhang Xiao glanced at the photo a few more times, then looked at the Mrs. Ning's legacy and said softly: "Your mother must be a very gentle mother. Her smile is very kind, full of love, able to calm the hearts of people and sweep away all worries."

Ning Zhi Yuan also looked at his mother, remembering his mother's benevolence, "My mother is a smart and capable woman outside, working hard for the Ning Family with my father, but when she returns home, she will become a mother. She would never scold Tong Tong and I. Even if we did wrong, she was very angry and left by herself, waiting for her to calm down. Only then would she gently talk to us, point out our mistakes, and help us correct ourselves. "

Zhang Xiao nodded, from the photo, it could be seen that Mrs. Ning was an extremely cultured woman.

"What happened to your mother?" She believed that Ning Zhi Yuan would understand what she wanted to ask.

Ning Zhi Yuan's face was in pain, her lips pursed again and again, before moving them, "My parents died of illness, and cancer. Both of them died of cancer, and the time of death was only half a year."

In other words, he lost his parents within a year.

Looking at Mrs. Ning's age, he should only be in his early forties when he died.

Zhang Xiao's heart ached a little. What a young mother, when Mrs. Ning died, he must have felt a thousand feelings of reluctance to part with his children, a thousand feelings of helplessness. However, the heartless illness still took away the sickness that was still so young in Mrs. Ning.

Cancer in this era of scientific development was causing headaches for doctors. Many patients were found to be in the middle to late stages of illness. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't be able to bring their lives back from Yama.

As for Ning Zhi Yuan and his sister, they had to face the pain of losing their parents at such a young age.

Zhang Xiao could understand it now.

Because she had lost her mother.

Ning Zhi Yuan and Ning Zhi Yuan were even mentally prepared, because their parents died from illness and there was a process of death when they were sick. During that process, their families would be mentally prepared. As for her mother, he died in an accident due to a plane crash.

She didn't have the slightest bit of mental preparation before she followed her mother's being apart in two different worlds of living and dead.

She couldn't even see her mother for the last time. Her heartless father had destroyed everything her mother had left behind, save for a photo alb.u.m that she had hugged.

How could she forgive her father for his ruthlessness?

Seeing the pictures of Ning Zhi Yuan's three relatives, Zhang Xiao could better understand why Ning Zhi Yuan would resent her father, and s.h.i.+ft all the grievances towards her father to her.

Thinking about it, losing both his parents when he was a teenager, leaving him and his sister to each other, resulting in his sister dying in a car accident, and his last kin leaving him, how could Ning Zhi Yuan not hate him?
