"Are you talking about your adoptive parents or your birth parents?" Mrs. Yao suddenly had a thought when she asked this, wondering if Manman and Mrs. Lu really were mother and daughter, both dealing with adoptive parent issues.
"I don't understand either." Mrs. Lu sighed, "Imagine, my mom and dad raised me all these years, and when they left this world, they never mentioned this to me. They probably truly considered me their own, but now that I've found out, it always feels like they had some selfish thoughts. That feeling intensified after learning about Nannan and her adoptive father."
