"I heard from Nan Xi that Bai Zhi came back, so I came to have a look," Nan Jin said as he approached Bai Zhi in his suit, looking every bit the successful businessman. "I also bought some food; let's eat together. Hello, Bai Zhi, I'm Nan Jin, a friend of your mother."
Nan Jin walked toward Bai Zhi, his three-piece suit lending him an air of success, his face wearing a polite smile, which at a glance made him much more personable than Bai Da.
"Xingxing, Wu Wa, this is your Uncle Nan from my training class; he's been a big help. Sit down; I'll go serve the food."
Ye Xiu spoke to them, but her warmth toward Nan Xi was noticeably lacking.
It was always like this. To her, Nan Xi was just a guest. It pained Nan Xi's heart to see her mother treating Bai Zhi so well when she was her own mother. Her mother seemed to adore Bai Zhi and ignore her.
Didn't they say a mother's heart is linked to her daughter's? Why hadn't she noticed that Nan Xi was her daughter?
