"From now on, no one will dare bully you." Jiang Wanru saw her crying so heartbreakingly, and felt even more tender-hearted.
Xu Nianhua tilted her head, looking at this loving face, and blurted out, "Mom."
Jiang Wanru was fixing her disheveled hair, startled by these words, frozen as if thunderstruck. She stared at Xu Nianhua, voice trembling, "What... what did you just call me?"
"Mom." Xu Nianhua cleared her throat and called out again.
"Yes."
Jiang Wanru replied, eyes red, holding Xu Nianhua tightly in her arms, too overwhelmed to speak.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Su Jinrong said nothing, just wrapped his arms around them both. His heart hurt; he blamed himself. If not for his negligence, they wouldn't have been separated from their child for twenty-two years!
This scene fell into Xu Nian'an's eyes as well, filling him with emotion.
