When Tan Li returned home that night, she met Wu Xiu who was peeking at the door.

　　She stretched her neck and looked left and right behind Tan Li, the light in her eyes slowly dimming.

　　”Dali is back.” Wu Xiu looked like a puppy with drooping ears, and even her smile seemed forced.

　　Tan Li knew what she was looking for, “Grandpa and grandma said they don’t want to live at home anymore.”

　　Wu Xiu paused, pursed her lips, and tears flashed in her eyes.

　　Tan Li continued, “But, my grandparents gave me a gift.”

　　Wu Xiu’s eyes lit up again, “What did they give you?”

　　”Cars,” Tan Li took Wu Xiu’s hand and walked into the room with her, “So many cars.”

　　Aren’t there a lot of cars? Tan Anguo is different from her. He doesn’t buy things in an arrangement. The old lady’s way of spending money is called – all, all.

　　Whether it was the latest and limited editions in the showbook that could not be actually seen, or all the luxury cars that arrived downstairs at the hospital in the afternoon, a total of 19 cars.

　　Tan Anguo bought them all with a wave of his hand.

　　He also threatened that if he saw a nice car in the future, he would buy one and send it to her in China so that she could soon become someone who could change cars every day without any rush.

　　Even Tan Li felt inferior to him in terms of heroic spirit.

　　Nie Huaiyi secretly told her that Tan Anguo was so passionate about cars that their home abroad was full of cars for daily use, appreciation and collection.

　　Tan Anguo heard this and turned around to secretly tell Tan Li that Nie Huaiyi liked to play with flowers and plants. After she had killed many valuable species one after another, her home was finally turning into a botanical garden.

　　Tan Li was caught in the middle and just felt like she was part of their play.

　　As they talked, they began to miss their home abroad.

　　The reason they returned to China this time was to meet Tan Li, their granddaughter who was replaced. Now that they have met her and given her gifts, they are ready to go back.

　　He is so cool and stylish that he doesn’t look like a 70 or 80-year-old at all.

　　However, before parting, the two elders also invited Tan Li, hoping that she could visit their home abroad for some time in the future.

　　Tan Li recalled some past agreements and said she would give it serious consideration.

　　Wu Xiu was happier than Tan Li when she heard her say this, “Really? That means grandpa and grandma like you very much~”

　　The tears in her eyes turned into tiny starlight, “It’s great~ It’s great~ I knew~ Our Dali is so good~ Anyone who sees it will like it~”

　　Seeing that she could cheer up easily, Tan Li couldn’t help but laugh along with Wu Xiu.

　　Wu Xiu and Tan Li held hands and talked to her about Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi in detail.

　　”Your grandparents are both very good people~” Wu Xiu looked up, as if she was proud of her own parents, “Like your grandpa, he’s super awesome~ Our Tan family can live so well now, it’s all because of your grandpa’s hard work~”

　　”And your grandmother, do you know? In the past, she was the daughter of a landlord, very beautiful, very intellectual, and she was totally different from other people when she stood out~”

　　”Later, when she was working hard with your grandfather to build her career, she was also a very capable woman, very, very amazing. Mom really admired her.”

　　The tone of her voice made it hard to say whether she was acting like a child or like she was telling a story to a child.

　　Seeing her waving her hands and holding onto her arms tightly when she was excited, Tan Li couldn’t help but exclaim with her, “This is amazing.”

　　”Hmm~” Wu Xiu’s face flushed with excitement, “The reason why your grandparents like Dali so much must be because our Dali is also very, very good~”

　　Although Wu Xiu is still not liked by the elders of the Tan family, she is very happy that her daughter can be liked by more people.

　　”Mom.” Tan Li suddenly stopped her.

　　”Hmm?” Wu Xiu turned her head and looked at her innocently.

　　Tan Li: “I think you are very good too.”

　　Wu Xiu was stunned.

　　Although Wu Xiu is naive and naive, and even a little silly, she is indeed sweet.

　　The guy with sister complex said that sweet girls are invincible.

　　Only today did Tan Li begin to understand a little.

　　Whether it was the bedroom prepared for Tan Li, or buying clothes for Tan Li later, supporting Tan Li unconditionally, transferring all her shares to Tan Li, or even the blind date that left Tan Li speechless at the time, all revealed Wu Xiu’s sincerity.

　　She may not know the best way to love someone, but she tries her best.

　　She has been learning how to be the best mother to Tan Li.

　　Tan Li actually felt that Wu Xiu was very good from the beginning, but she just never said it out loud. She didn’t know if her interactions with Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi today had influenced her, but Tan Li felt that she could actually speak some truthful words.

　　As before…

　　There is no need to worry about a bad ending like before.

　　Of course Wu Xiu didn’t notice that Tan Li’s words kept rising and falling in her heart.

　　In the end, although it was difficult, Tan Li still managed to say word by word, “You are very good, so you don’t have to please anyone.”

　　”Mom, I’m so lucky that my mom is you.”

　　Instantly, Wu Xiu felt her eyes getting hot, and the astringency in her throat turned into a sour taste at the tip of her nose.

　　She quickly wiped her eyes and said, “Mom, too! Mom is also very lucky that my daughter is you.”

　　Tan Li couldn’t help but laugh, “Cry if you want to.”

　　”But, but…” Wu Xiu tried hard not to let her tears fall, “But Dali, don’t you dislike seeing your mother cry?”

　　When she said this, her voice was heavily nasal.

　　Tan Li paused.

　　Could it be because of what she had said before about Wu Xiu being a little crybaby?

　　But when Tan Li met Wu Xiu’s eyes, she realized that maybe it was not just because of those words she deliberately said to cover up her true thoughts.

　　Tan Li doesn’t like to see people cry, and she doesn’t like to cry either, for many reasons, but…

　　”It’s okay,” Tan Li didn’t know whether she didn’t have the courage to speak her mind or had a new idea, “Just cry when you want to, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

　　”Look, grandpa and grandma can do whatever they want. Look how well they are doing now. They are more energetic than young people,” Tan Li cited an example. “So, mom, I also hope that you can do whatever you want and live a long life with me.”

　　With a sound of “Wow”.

　　Wu Xiu’s eyes were like a faucet that had been turned on, with water pouring out.

　　Sad and happy at the same time.

　　”I, I…will stay with you…for the rest of my life…” Wu Xiu kept talking while hiccuping.

　　Tan Li was amused by her appearance, “Okay, mom will be with me forever.”

　　…

　　”Waaaaaaaa——” Wu Xiu really cried loudly this time. Her sobs echoed throughout the huge villa.

　　”What’s wrong!” Tan Pei’s anxious voice came closer and closer, and he even lost one of his slippers when he ran over.

　　But he didn’t notice it at all, and he slipped on the marble floor and fell, twisting his ankle.

　　“Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu!” Tan Pei didn’t care about his sprained ankle and hugged Wu Xiu into his arms, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”

　　”Xiu Xiu, stop crying and tell me what happened.”

　　As he spoke, his knife-like gaze shot towards Tan Li.

　　”If you have anything to say, come to me! Don’t touch your mother!”

　　Tan Li clearly noticed that there was fear in his eyes when he looked at her, but for Wu Xiu, he dared to face his fear.

　　Then–

　　”Why are you so mean to Dali?” Wu Xiu punched him hard on the chest.

　　Tan Li stood aside with an innocent look on her face, but said, “Yeah, what are you yelling about? It’s nothing special to have a loud voice!”

　　Tan Pei:……?

　　Tan Pei was stunned.

　　Tan Li shook her hair and said, “Grandpa and grandma said that you haven’t been a good son, so you don’t deserve to have a good daughter who obeys your orders.”

　　”Stop making noise all the time. You’re making our house uneasy!”

　　Now, even Wu Xiu forgot to cry.

　　Tan Li pointed at Tan Pei and asked Wu Xiu, “Mom, what do you like about him? 800 thoughts^[1]means domineering or powerful, but every one of them is in vain.”

　　”You…” Tan Pei felt embarrassed and angry when his daughter said that.

　　But before he could say anything, Wu Xiu opened her mouth first, “Your father was so handsome when he was young! He was the most handsome among all the people around your mother!”

　　Tan Pei: ???

　　Tan Li: …

　　”Well,” Tan Li slowly retracted her fingers, “Then… then there’s nothing we can do.”

　　After all, he is the most handsome man around Wu Xiu, so it is understandable that she chose him.

　　Tan Li put aside her doubts, but Wu Xiu did not let go of her anger towards Tan Pei.

　　”Why were you so mean to Dali just now?” Wu Xiu was so angry that her lips puffed up. “Do you know how happy I am that Dali is willing to tell me her true feelings for the first time? And you are still mean to Dali!”

　　”You you you really are!”

　　”I was wrong!” Tan Pei admitted his mistake very quickly, not only to Wu Xiu, but also to Tan Li, “Da Li, I misunderstood.”

　　”sorry.”

　　It seems to have a hidden meaning.

　　Tan Li smiled first, then——

　　”If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? Shouldn’t there be compensation?”

　　It was really because after spending an afternoon with Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi, two people who spoke their minds, Tan Li was somewhat touched.

　　Since she can tell the truth to Wu Xiu, as her biological father, shouldn’t she give Tan Pei the same treatment?

　　Tan Li: “Compensate for my mental damage, otherwise this matter will not be resolved!”

　　Seeing Tan Li like this, Wu Xiu didn’t hesitate for a second and directly chose a side.

　　”Yes!” Wu Xiu also stood beside Tan Li and faced Tan Pei together with her, “Tan Pei, if you don’t make Dali happy today, I won’t live with you anymore!”

　　”Okay, okay,” Tan Pei raised his hands helplessly, “Isn’t it okay if I pay for it?”

　　As he spoke, he began to take out his checkbook from his pocket.

　　One, two, three, four… eight zeros were filled in, and a check worth 100 million was handed to Tan Li.

　　”Da Li, it’s Dad’s fault,” Tan Pei stuffed the check into Tan Li’s hand, “Dad is suffering from paranoia.”

　　It also has a hidden meaning.

　　But for the sake of this check…

　　Tan Li smiled and stuffed the check into her purse. “Dad, really, how could I be really angry with you~”

　　Seeing her pretending to put on her usual mask, Tan Pei felt relieved for a moment, but at the same time, a sense of strangeness flashed through his mind, which was very complicated.

　　Wu Xiu was immediately happy to see that the father and daughter had reconciled.

　　She seemed to have forgotten that she was still angry with Tan Pei just now, and happily took Tan Pei’s hand, “That’s great~ Dali is not angry with you~”

　　”Yeah, that’s great,” Tan Pei gently helped her tidy up the hair around her ears, “Wife, didn’t you say you bought some super delicious desserts?”

　　”Oh, right!” Wu Xiu tapped her head after he reminded her, “I almost forgot.”

　　”I originally wanted to eat with my parents, but…” Wu Xiu’s eyes were sad for a moment, then she immediately perked up, “I’ll bring it over, and we’ll eat together~”

　　Having said that, she trotted towards the kitchen.

　　Tan Li glanced at Tan Pei and was about to leave——

　　”Wait,” Tan Pei stopped her.

　　Tan Li turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

　　”Your nickname…” Tan Pei seemed a little embarrassed to say it, but he still said, “Can you not tell your mother?”

　　”I’m afraid she’ll be sad.”

　　Tan Li didn’t say anything.

　　Tan Pei suddenly felt that Tan Li’s gaze on him was suffocating him.

　　But soon, Tan Li retracted her gaze, “Have you ever thought that my mother is not as fragile as you think.”

　　”You isolate all the things that you think are bad for her. Is there a possibility that among those things, there might be something she really wants?”
