She has smooth long black hair, a cheerful and bright smile, and a well-proportioned and slender figure. Looking at the distribution of her skin texture, it can be seen that she is fond of sports. Her clothes are casual yet fashionable. She has a calm temperament from the inside out and is very elegant.

　　Wow, another beauty.

　　Tan Li whistled in her heart. Compared with her biological mother who looked like a young girl, although this beauty was young, she had a more calm temperament. Her every move and gesture had the exquisite beauty of Wu Xiu and the steadiness and composure of Tan Pei.

　　Wealth and honor nourish people, this is true.

　　While she was observing the other person, the other person was also observing her.

　　She had long, fluffy, airy curly hair, fiery red lips that seemed to be smiling, and sapphire earrings the size of pigeon eggs that refracted the sunlight, casting sparkles on her fair shoulders.

　　She was wearing a blue-gray strapless A-line tulle skirt, a loosely hanging fur shawl, a finger-wide diamond bracelet, and star-designed high heels, as if she was preparing to attend some important dinner party.

　　With that pair of indifferent eyes, beauty seems to have an aggressive power, and there is an inexplicable sense of the flourishing and withering of flowers.

　　This is the real daughter whose happy life of more than 20 years was robbed by her…

　　Tan Xinman looked away guiltily.

　　The moment Wu Xiu saw Tan Xinman appear, she smiled subconsciously, but that smile full of maternal love only lasted for a short moment and then froze in mid-air.

　　She quietly looked at Tan Li’s expression——

　　calm.

　　Wu Xiu was stunned.

　　In a daze, Tan Pei was the first to break the strange silence, “Manman is back? Has everything in Ancheng been dealt with?”

　　The tone is intimate.

　　Tan Xinman glanced at Tan Li, then took two steps forward hesitantly, “Everything has been taken care of, don’t worry.”

　　Tan Pei smiled with satisfaction and said, “Dad is of course confident in Manman’s work.”

　　Tan Xinman smiled happily and was about to say something, but when she saw Tan Li out of the corner of her eye, she took a step back stiffly.

　　Tan Li raised her hand and tried to tidy up the hair around her ears that was slightly blown by the wind. Her hair now looked lazy and casual, but she spent more than an hour blow-drying it, and she couldn’t let the wind ruin the look.

　　Before she raised her hand, Wu Xiu’s hand got there first and helped her tidy up the loose hair around her ears.

　　The tenderness in Wu Xiu’s eyes seemed to melt into water, “Our Dali is so beautiful.”

　　Tan Li paused as her hand was half raised, and slowly dropped it, “Mom is beautiful too.”

　　This is the truth.

　　Judging from her age, Wu Xiu is already in her 40s or almost 50, but she still wears pink dresses, and there seems to be no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. The most important thing is –

　　The light in her eyes was brighter than any other girl, not to mention hers, even brighter than Tan Xinman.

　　Her mother probably never suffered any hardship in life since she was a child.

　　Such a clean and beautiful pair of eyes should always be carefree.

　　Tan Li said seriously, “Mom is the most beautiful.”

　　This one sentence filled Wu Xiu’s eyes with tears.

　　Ah, this…

　　Tan Li closed her mouth and turned to look at Tan Pei.

　　You should coax your wife.

　　Even though his two daughters, one real and one fake, were present, Tan Pei was still most concerned about his wife who had been with him for half his life. He put his arm around Wu Xiu’s shoulders and stroked her gently to comfort her.

　　Tan Li looked up at the sky silently, pretending not to know that she was the one who made the person cry.

　　By the way, she didn’t mean to make Wu Xiu cry. Who knew that Wu Xiu’s tear glands were so developed that she would cry at any time. She hadn’t met such a tearful person for many years, and she was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden…

　　”Hello.”

　　Tan Li turned her head and saw Tan Xinman extending her right hand towards her.

　　Clean hands…

　　Tan Li doesn’t want to hold hands.

　　”Hello.”

　　Tan Xinman’s hand froze in mid-air and she silently withdrew it.

　　Tan Pei frowned, Wu Xiu’s gaze stayed on Tan Xinman for a moment, then she closed her eyes, and put away a trace of heartache.

　　When she opened her eyes again, Wu Xiu pushed away Tan Pei’s embrace and held Tan Li’s hand, “Da Li, can mommy take you to visit our home?”

　　Tan Li: “Okay.”

　　Having said that, Wu Xiu didn’t even glance at Tan Xinman and Tan Pei, and she intimately pulled Tan Li into the villa.

　　Of course she knew that this attitude would make Tan Xinman sad, and she also knew that this was unfair to her, but…

　　At this moment, the whole world is not as important as her precious daughter who was lost and found again.

　　Tan Xinman looked at Wu Xiu and Tan Li walking away, and lowered her head dejectedly.

　　Tan Pei patted her shoulder gently and said, “Don’t blame your mother. She just feels that she owes that child too much.”

　　”No…” Tan Xinman shook her head fiercely, “I won’t blame my mother. I know, I know.”

　　”It was me who robbed her of her happy life for so many years. It was me who robbed her of her parents. It’s all my fault.”

　　Stubborn tears were held in the eyes, refusing to fall.

　　Tan Pei sighed, “…it’s not your fault.”

　　Tan Xinman covered her face with her hands, tears leaking out from between her fingers.

　　**

　　Tan Li had no idea what Tan Xinman was thinking. At this moment, she was following Wu Xiu to visit her future new home.

　　Well, not bad, very good.

　　Compared to the gorgeous but empty castle before, this villa is more in line with her understanding of “home”.

　　Soft tones, warm colors, family photos everywhere, fresh flowers and foliage plants, and a faint smell of sweet soup in the air.

　　Simply put, it has more of a down-to-earth feel.

　　Wu Xiu held Tan Li’s hand and said, “Dali, take a look. It was decorated according to mom’s preferences before. If you don’t like this style, tell mom and we’ll find someone to change the decoration style.”

　　”Now that Dali has returned home, we need to take more photos in the future. Mom wants to build a photo wall for you. When Mom is old, she will be happy to look at it.”

　　”By the way, is Dali hungry? Auntie has made some sweet soup in the kitchen. If Dali is hungry, let’s eat some first.”

　　Tan Li shook her head obediently, “I’m not hungry.”

　　[I  didn’t pay attention and ate too much at breakfast], now she is going to become a picky eater who only eats until she is 70% full.

　　Wu Xiu: “Haha, it’s okay to eat too much. There are so many beauty treatments now. Even if we eat that much at every meal, we can still be thin and beautiful.”

　　Tan Li:?

　　She looked at the back of Wu Xiu’s head in confusion. How did she associate the words ‘not hungry’ with beauty tips?

　　Wu Xiu turned around and said carefully, “Da Li, Mom wants to tell you something. Please don’t be angry, okay?”

　　Tan Li: “Yeah.”

　　[She is the spokesperson for calmness, love and peace. The word “anger” does not exist in her dictionary at all.]

　　Wu Xiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Tan Li’s mouth in confusion.

　　Tan Li:?

　　Wu Xiu:?

　　The two of them stared at each other.

　　Wu Xiu shook her head, “Dali, did you speak just now?”

　　Tan Li nodded and said, “I said it.”

　　She really said ‘Yeah’.

　　Wu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to have been hallucinating just now. Although Tan Li’s mouth didn’t move, she seemed to hear Tan Li’s voice.

　　She thought about it and felt that it was because she hardly slept on the plane yesterday, so she felt a little dazed.

　　Wu Xiu didn’t want to make her daughter worry, so she put on a healthy smile, but when she thought of what she was going to say next, the smile dimmed a little, “Dali, can Xinman…”

　　”Xin Man is the one we took mistakenly. You just met in the garden.”

　　She paused, “Can Xinman continue to live in this house?”

　　Wu Xiu didn’t dare to look at Tan Li’s expression, and said in a panic, “I know you may not like Xin Man, but she…”

　　“She…she…”

　　Tan Li tilted her head. What did she say?

　　Wu Xiu bit her lip and hardened her heart, “If you really don’t like her, then mom will let her move out.”

　　”Bang.”

　　Tan Li and Wu Xiu turned their heads and saw Tan Xinman not standing steadily and slumped against the door frame.
