That proud yet fawning expression of hers was just too amusing.
Hua Yusen was also especially fond of Little Red Carp. After their meal, they took her out to play for the rest of the afternoon before he brought them back to Qingya Lake.
Just after Hua Yusen left, Zhao Nuanyue led Little Red Carp into the courtyard.
To her surprise, a woman holding a child was sitting on a long bench in the courtyard.
When the woman heard Zhao Nuanyue's voice, she abruptly stood up. Her eyes darted back and forth between Zhao Nuanyue and Little Red Carp.
After a long moment, Xia Yingyu finally said slowly, "That Wang Lianhua really did lie to me again!"
"Mom, how long have you been here?" A storm of emotions washed over Zhao Nuanyue as she looked at her mother. She gripped Little Red Carp's hand, her nervousness causing her to squeeze it slightly.
Xia Yingyu gazed at her grown-up daughter, her eyes stinging with tears. She hadn't seen her in two years.
