"Thank you, thank you for raising her." Fang Yue was extremely emotional.
Ji Ying asked Xu Nianji to fetch Nianhua's photos—there was one taken when she was ten, and later, when the family's situation improved, Pei Yining took a lot of pictures for Xu Nianhua, including the ones when she went to Beining University.
"Back then our family was poor, so we couldn't leave too many photos for Nianhua." Ji Ying explained. Even after all these years, she still remembers how adorable her daughter was as a child.
"Is this... Nianhua?" Fang Yue felt a sense of unfamiliarity as she looked at the smiling Xu Nianhua in the photo.
The photo she was looking at was exactly the one of Xu Nianhua in front of Beining University. In it, Nianhua was vibrant with youth, her big eyes bright and spirited.
Even as a woman herself, Fang Yue could feel that Xu Nianhua was very beautiful—more beautiful, even, than Gu Mingzhu, whom she'd treasured since she was little.
