"An acquaintance?" Zhang Hualian sized up Tang Yue and asked, "You’re in a bad mood."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Even if Tang Yue tried to hide it, Zhang Hualian could still sense it easily. She said, "I just ran into Lian Qingqing, it made me feel a bit emotional."
"Is she not doing well?" Zhang Hualian didn’t have much impression of Lian Qingqing. She only knew that she used to be Lian Qingyang’s sister and was said to look exactly like Sun Rou, a child she had met who was gentle and charming.
Although the two sisters didn’t grow up together, they shared the same bloodline. Could their natures really be so different?
Tang Yue briefly explained Lian Qingqing’s situation. After a moment of silence, Zhang Hualian said, "Xiao Yue, this has nothing to do with you. It’s her own choice. If, when she was with the Lian family, she had put in more effort and had closer relationships with the family, how could the Lian family have not accepted her?"
Zhang Hualian thought that Lian Qingqing was too ungrateful and her deeds of harming Aunt Lian were too malicious.
"Besides," Zhang Hualian said, trying to console Tang Yue, "she’s proud but unable to figure things out for herself. Even the Lian family might have wanted to help but couldn’t."
Tang Yue was definitely the most innocent in this matter.
Lian Qingqing, since childhood, enjoyed the wealth and luxury of the Lian family. She had the best of everything, while Xiao Yue, by her side, was called an illegitimate child without a father. Even if Tang Zhengde treated her well, it couldn’t replace her biological father.
Now that Lian Qingqing’s true lineage has been exposed to the world, how she interacts with the Lian family in the future is her own affair.
Though she didn’t know Lian Qingqing’s exact situation, she had heard Lian Qingyang vaguely mention that the things given to Lian Qingqing were not asked to be returned, so Lian Qingqing shouldn’t be short of money.
If she’s not short of money, why choose to fall and become a third party ruining someone else’s marriage?
"Mom, don’t worry. I was just feeling a bit emotional. People, you know, fear taking the wrong path the most," Tang Yue sighed deeply. Lian Qingqing obviously had good cards but played them poorly.
If Lian Qingqing only wanted a life of ease and wealth, her upbringing in the Lian family should be enough, regardless of blood ties.

"Why are you back so late today?" Tang Yue had been waiting for Si Yu and heard the car only at ten at night.
Indeed, Zhao Xiangqian had already brought Si Yu back.
"There were some things at the company, so I got delayed. Why aren’t you asleep yet?" Meng Siyu raised an eyebrow. It was already ten at night; she should have been asleep long ago.
"I can’t sleep without you back," Tang Yue glanced at him sideways. After he took a shower, she checked his leg to make sure it was okay and finally relaxed. "Your leg just recovered. Make sure not to do any strenuous activities. If it’s hurt again, what will you do?"
"Wife, I will definitely cherish myself," Si Yu leaned in, holding Tang Yue’s soft and fragrant body, suddenly feeling restless.
Tang Yue originally wanted to talk to him about Lian Qingqing and her decision to go to F country next spring, but she completely forgot about it after being tangled with him.
Si Yu, satisfied, washed the exhausted Tang Yue clean and carried her back to bed. Hugging his gentle wife, he slept soundly.
"Sister Xiao Yue."
Both the studios in Wangjiang City and Jing City have been fully upgraded with the latest computers.
At this moment, Tang Yue couldn’t help but feel grateful to have a brother who knows computers so well.
Little Grass Orphanage.
Sun Rou went to deliver supplies to the orphanage again. This time, she brought shoes after getting the children’s foot measurements last time.
Summer sandals aren’t expensive, but for these children, wearing a pair of new shoes isn’t easy.
"Do my shoes look nice?"
"Mine are nicer."
"I love this bow so much."
The children’s excited, smiling faces made Sun Rou genuinely happy. She sincerely hoped that these children could lead happy lives.
"Xiao Rou, thank you so much. Last time, you brought food, and this time it’s shoes." The director greeted Sun Rou excitedly, saying, "I thank you on behalf of the children. I’m also grateful for the books from Xingyao Clothing Factory and the children’s clothes from Mingyue Clothing Factory."
"Director, as long as the children are well, we are happy. I’ll convey your gratitude," Sun Rou replied with a radiant smile. She knew that whether it was Tang Yue or the factories, they preferred to do real deeds quietly without making a loud announcement. Therefore, Sun Rou always came quietly.
