Su Qing was forced by Zheng Zhanpeng to watch the news on TV, her eyes wide open.
The familiar figure on the screen appeared brighter than before, not showing any of the anxiety or sadness she had expected.
It seemed as if her departure meant nothing to her mother, who even wore a genuine smile of joy, unlike her usual forced ones.
Compared to her current haggard and disheveled state, her mother looked even younger.
Su Qing's eyes grew wider and wider, listening to the reporter's words on TV, and her head began to throb.
She understood all the words, but how they fit together made no sense to her.
Her mother had given birth to a brother for her...
Su Qing wanted to scoff aloud, "How could that be possible?" Her mother had always said she was content with just one daughter and wouldn't divide her affection further.
But the scoffing smile froze on her lips, and despite her disbelief, the voice from the TV continuously infiltrated her ears.
