As the old toad, with a sobbing voice and frequent wiping of tears, unfolded a poignant love story between the old toad and his wife before the little toad's eyes.

After hearing this, the little toad opened its mouth wide enough to swallow a mountain.

After a long time, it finally realized what was happening and asked the old toad in a daze, "You mean to say that my mother was originally a frog, but because she loved you, she transformed herself into a toad?"

You could tell how shocked the little toad was just by listening to its tone.

The old toad nodded vigorously. "Yes, my dear son, this explains why you have so few and small bumps, and why you croak like a frog. Son, I wronged your mother, I wronged you, you..."

The old toad raised one paw and pointed at the little toad's eyes, saying, "You, my dear son, you are a hybrid of a toad and a frog."

The little toad was completely dumbfounded; the plot twist was quite unexpected.

It did indeed have half frog genes in its body, but not the one it had always suspected; it was related to the frog next door named Wang.

The old toad wiped away his tears again, went forward and took the little toad's hand, "Good son, come on, let's go home."

The little toad was dragged along by the old toad, with no chance to resist, and hopped towards its home, which it had left six months ago.

Watching the old toad hopping around unusually fast with excitement, the little toad had another possibility in mind: that it had once been a frog, but had undergone plastic surgery to become a toad. Where was the evidence?

It remembered something that happened when it was very, very young: its toad mother had nestled in the arms of the frog next door, surnamed Wang, and cried.

.

Several times it wanted to speak up and ask the old toad to investigate further, but seeing the old toad's excited hopping around, and considering that it had been wandering outside for half a year, it really wanted a home. So, it kept its big mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.

It doesn't matter whose son it is. What matters is that the family is together, living a harmonious and happy life.

If Xu Moran knew that Xu Ye's unintentional action had led to a family of toads occupying two chapters, almost making people think that the story was going to turn into an animal story, he would probably pat Xu Moran on the shoulder and sigh with heartfelt admiration.

Getting back to the main point, Xu Moran soon arrived at the grave of the girl he had never met.

She had actually visited her once six months ago.

The girl's tombstone had no photo or name, only the words "beloved daughter".

For some reason, she felt a strong connection with this girl, and she could even empathize with the girl's loneliness.

He was thrown off a building by his own mother at birth, and no one even knows where his body ended up. It's so pitiful.

Xu Moran placed flowers and fruit in front of the grave, and also put the dress she had given to the girl on it. Now that civilized tomb sweeping is advocated, she couldn't burn the dress for the girl, but placing it in front of the tombstone had the same meaning.

Once the deceased has passed away, that is the end. The reason why the living remember them is simply because of the reluctance to let go and the difficulty in forgetting them.

Xu Ye stood behind Xu Mo, unusually quiet.

A sound of footsteps approached, and Xu Moran shifted his gaze from the tombstone toward the sound.

She was taken aback when she saw who it was.

The person who arrived was none other than that unlucky district chief. He had lost a lot of weight and was walking towards Xu Moran from afar. The first time Xu Moran saw Xu Moran's bloated appearance in the private room, he had become thinner.

The composure and wisdom of a middle-aged man are evident in him.

This was the true nature of the unlucky district chief. Xu Moran finally believed the story he told. It was because he was handsome that his mother-in-law, who was a high-ranking official in the government at the time, took a liking to him and tricked him into becoming her son-in-law.

What was his name again?

Xu Moran tried hard to recall, and he actually remembered that his surname was also Xu, and his name was Xu Xiusen.

While Xu Moran was reminiscing, Xu Xiusen had already walked up to her and smiled kindly at her, saying, "Mo Mo, you really came."

Hearing him say "Mo Mo" in his mouth, Xu Moran was momentarily at a loss for words. When did she and he become so familiar with each other?

I don't think so.

"You..." Xu Moran hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You've already been released?"

This is a typical case of someone who really doesn't know what to say, so they start by making small talk, which is completely pointless. Of course, Xu Xiusen was released; otherwise, who would be standing in front of her?

Xu Xiusen didn't care whether Xu Moran was making conversation or not. He continued to gaze into Xu Moran's eyes with the gentle smile typical of middle-aged men. "Mo Mo, thank you for coming to see my daughter. To be honest, from the first moment I saw you, I felt we were destined to be together. The last time I saw you, I even made a decision."

.

Xu Mo listened quietly without interrupting.

Xu Xiusen's calm and composed face suddenly showed tension and caution. "Mo Mo, I want to recognize you as my goddaughter. I wonder if you would be willing?"

Xu Moran was stunned for several minutes before she came to her senses and stammered, "You said... you want to recognize me as your goddaughter?"

Did she hear that right?

The next second, with Xu Xiusen nodding, Xu Mo knew he hadn't misheard.

She thought of the time when Xiao Mei was adopted as the godson by the bar owner, Mr. Sun, and wondered if such a thing as adopting a godparent could be contagious.

Xu Xiusen didn't hear Xu Mo's reply. The time was actually very short, but it felt like he had been waiting for a long time. He then said to the others, "Mo Mo, don't worry. Since I've been released and have become the district chief again, it means I'm innocent."
