"Hmm!" Ling's father nodded, following Shenglan to the street outside the train station, raising his hand to hail a taxi and heading directly to where Shenglan was temporarily staying!
Ling Shenglan opened a room next to her own for Ling's father. After settling him in, she invited him to her room.
Looking at the exquisitely decorated room, Ling's father nodded with satisfaction and said contently, "Shenglan, it's been more than five years. Seeing you living so well now, with no worries for food or clothing, I'm satisfied and relieved! Thinking back, you were alone, suffering so much in Jin City, but now, your hardships have finally paid off!"
"Yes! Back then, I indeed endured a lot and faced much disdain from others! At times, I even thought about giving up. Luckily, I persevered, otherwise... how could I have the face to return and find Yueyue today!" Ling Shenglan unintentionally shifted the topic to Ling Yueyue!
