"Mom, please don't say that. Sisi is your biological daughter, and Bai Cheng'an is Uncle Bai's biological son. How can Shaoguang and I compete with them?"
Ye Manrong tapped her forehead in frustration, "You! How could I give birth to a daughter like you? You're too kind and easy to bully. No wonder that witch dared to push you down the stairs in our home. Out in the world, wouldn't she have killed you?"
"Mom..." Xie Zhiyao recalled the recent events, looking sad and frightened as she leaned tremblingly on Ye Manrong's hand.
Ye Manrong lovingly stroked her hair, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer any loss!"
"Mom, you might not be my biological mother, but no one in this world treats me better than you!" Xie Zhiyao squeezed out a few tears.
"Silly child, I am your mom!"
Time passed, and Xie Qishan and Xue Shaoguang hadn't returned.
Xie Zhiyao grew anxious, "Why are Dad and Shaoguang taking so long?"
