The implied meaning in Li's mother's suggestion was not only apparent to Xie Changcheng, but also awkwardly evident to Li Hanxiao, who had just walked into the hospital room from outside and overheard it.
Xie Changcheng glanced at Li Hanxiao, who decisively retreated from the doorway, and said, "Madam Li, Hanxiao is the only daughter of you and Professor Li. Just for that reason, even if you didn't say it, I would take care of Hanxiao."
Li's mother heard his words, which were evasive, and seeing that her daughter had already left, she pursued, "Changcheng, you know I don't mean that. Don't blame me. Blame my heavy selfishness. Sisi, although both your teacher and I know we owe them, but ultimately Hanxiao is my own daughter, this point has always been clear to me. Previously, before anything happened, you chose Sisi, and that was understandable. Now, Sisi is in prison, and who knows how many years she'll serve. You certainly can't wait for her. So, can't you choose Hanxiao?"
