Li Xiumei was called back home by Sun Qiuhua, while Zhang Xiaoxiao sat on the wall between the two houses with Xiao Liang, preparing to eavesdrop. 0
 
"Sister-in-law, that sister is so fierce," Xiao Liang said. 0
 
"She might be angry," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
 
"Oh," Xiao Liang nodded, somewhat understanding. 0
 
The two sat by the wall and began to listen in. Sun Qiuhua pulled Li Xiumei into the room and closed the door behind them. 0
 
"Mom, why did you pull me in?" Li Xiumei asked, confused. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, I have something to tell you," Sun Qiuhua said seriously. 0
 
"What is it?" Seeing Sun Qiuhua's serious expression made Li Xiumei nervous. 0
 
"You are not the daughter of the Li Family," Sun Qiuhua stated. 0
 
"What?" Li Xiumei looked at Sun Qiuhua in shock, doubting her own hearing. 0
 
"You were abandoned by your biological parents; I picked you up and raised you," Sun Qiuhua explained. 0
 
"I..." Li Xiumei was at a loss for words. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, you are my adopted daughter; I can't bear to give you to anyone else," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Xiumei didn't understand what Sun Qiuhua meant. 0
 
"Your biological brother has come; he wants to take you back to the Zhao Family," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"Biological brother? The Zhao Family?" Li Xiumei was even more confused. 0
 
"Yes," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
 
"Mom, what are you saying? I don't understand," Li Xiumei asked. 0
 
"You understand; you just don't want to believe it," Sun Qiuhua replied. 0
 
"I..." Li Xiumei felt exposed by Sun Qiuhua's words and was suddenly speechless. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, Mom knows you've always wanted to leave this home and return to your biological parents," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"Mom, I haven't," Li Xiumei denied. 0
 
 
"You have," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"I..." Li Xiumei's heart was exposed by Sun Qiuhua, and her face turned pale. 0
"Xiu Mei, I don't blame you. After all, you are my daughter whom I raised myself. How could I blame you?" Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"Mom..." Li Xiumei hugged Sun Qiuhua and began to cry. 0
Sun Qiuhua gently patted Li Xiumei's back, comforting her. 0
Zhao Xiaosong stood outside the room, listening to the conversation between Sun Qiuhua and Li Xiumei, feeling a bit anxious. 0
He knew that Sun Qiuhua would not easily let Li Xiumei go, but he had to take Li Xiumei back to the Zhao Family. 0
This was his mother's wish and also the purpose of his visit. 0
After waiting for a while, Zhao Xiaosong finally couldn't hold back and knocked on the door. 0
"Auntie, can I come in?" Zhao Xiaosong asked. 0
"Come in," Sun Qiuhua replied. 0
Zhao Xiaosong pushed open the door and walked into the room. 0
"Auntie, have you finished talking with Xiu Mei?" Zhao Xiaosong asked. 0
"Yes," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Then can we leave?" Zhao Xiaosong asked. 0
"Are you sure you want to take Xiu Mei back to the Zhao Family?" Sun Qiuhua asked. 0
"I'm sure," Zhao Xiaosong nodded. 0
"Your mother doesn't like Xiu Mei. If you take her back, will she be able to live a good life?" Sun Qiuhua questioned. 0
"My mom is getting older, and her thoughts have changed. She really misses Xiu Mei now," Zhao Xiaosong said. 0
"How do you know she's not just saying that?" Sun Qiuhua asked. 0
"My mom truly misses Xiu Mei; she even regrets leaving Xiu Mei with you," Zhao Xiaosong said. 0
"She regrets it?" Sun Qiuhua snorted coldly, "Will she really regret it?" 0
"Auntie, I know you have grievances against my mom, but she has changed now. Please let Xiu Mei come back with me," Zhao Xiaosong pleaded. 0
"I can't let you take Xiu Mei away," Sun Qiuhua said firmly. 0
"Auntie, Xiu Mei is my sister and also your daughter. Why can't you let her come back with me?" Zhao Xiaosong asked in confusion. 0
 
 
"Xiu Mei is my adopted daughter, I can't bear to part with her," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"Aunt, Xiu Mei is my biological sister, I can't bear to part with her either, but my mother misses her even more. Please let her come back with me," Zhao Xiaosong pleaded. 0
 
"No," Sun Qiuhua refused again. 0
 
"Aunt..." Zhao Xiaosong tried to persuade Sun Qiuhua once more. 0
 
"You don't need to say anything more. I will not let you take Xiu Mei away," Sun Qiuhua interrupted Zhao Xiaosong. 0
 
"Mom, I want to go back with him," Li Xiumei suddenly said. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, you..." Sun Qiuhua looked at Li Xiumei in shock. 0
 
"Mom, I want to go back and see," Li Xiumei said. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, you can't go back," Sun Qiuhua opposed. 0
 
"Mom, please let me go back," Li Xiumei pleaded. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, you..." Sun Qiuhua did not expect Li Xiumei to be willing to return to the Zhao Family. 0
 
"Mom, I've never seen my biological parents. I want to go back and see them," Li Xiumei said. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, you..." Sun Qiuhua was left speechless by Li Xiumei's words. 0
 
"Mom, please let me go back," Li Xiumei begged again. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, I won't stop you, but you need to think carefully. If you go back, you can't come back here again," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"Mom, I..." Li Xiumei hesitated. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, think it over carefully," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
 
"I..." Li Xiumei fell into deep thought. 0
 
Zhao Xiaosong saw that Li Xiumei was indecisive and said, "Xiu Mei, the Zhao Family is wealthier than you think. If you go back, you can have a good life." 0
 
"I..." Li Xiumei felt tempted. 0
 
"Xiu Mei, think it over. I'm not forcing you," Zhao Xiaosong said. 0
 
"I..." Li Xiumei looked at Sun Qiuhua and then at Zhao Xiaosong. In the end, she made her decision, "I'll listen to Mom." 0
 
Sun Qiuhua looked at Li Xiumei with a mix of comfort and disappointment in her heart. 0
 
Zhao Xiaosong felt somewhat disappointed as well; he did not expect Li Xiumei to rely so much on Sun Qiuhua. 0
