The moment Jiang Yan saw her daughter, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

No one knows what it feels like for a mother to not see her daughter for many years.

When she learned that her daughter had been sent to the Su family, her first reaction was relief—after all, the Su family was a truly wealthy family, and her daughter would definitely receive excellent treatment. She no longer needed to worry about her daughter's wealth and status. So, even if she, the "useless mother," could only hide behind the scenes, even if she could never acknowledge her daughter for the rest of her life, what did it matter?

She was willing to give anything as long as her daughter could get better.

This is a mother's simplest thought.

Moreover, her daughter is the fruit of their love.

Along the way, she took too many detours and read so many books, but she still couldn't see through people's hearts or understand romantic relationships. She kept trying to climb the social ladder and enter high society, only to be looked down upon and treated like a clown. What was the point of all that?

Looking back, she realized that being with the person she loved and living a simple and comfortable life was the most precious thing.

What good is the best food and drink, or the most expensive clothes?

As long as you have money, someone will teach you how to spend it all. No matter how much money you have, as long as you have greed, you will never be satisfied.

Money can certainly save a person, but a life that revolves entirely around money is not a person's true life.

No amount of money can offset humanity's pursuit of emotions and beauty.

Jiang Yan eventually came to terms with it.

She knew that she should no longer live like a parasite, relying on others to value her and make her their mistress.

It's rare to find a loving man like him in this world.

Her first love was a loving man, and not only that, fate did not let her fall into the abyss forever. Her first love was not a penniless poor boy. He earned a car and a house with his own hands and had a decent job.

Her first love wasn't so bad—he was also a graduate of a prestigious university and had enough financial resources to allow her to live a middle-class life.

"A woman's character is set once she marries a man."

Jiang Yan once firmly believed in this conclusion.

But after she got married and had children, she realized that both parents need to work hard to create a better tomorrow for their children.

If you treat yourself as an accessory, you won't be able to live the life you want.

After suffering a serious illness, she became less concerned about life and death.

Cherishing the present moment is the proper way of life.

There is such a thing as perfect love and a perfect life in this world; it just requires some subtraction and letting go of some obsessions.

So now she's come to terms with it and just wants to get better.

However, when she learned about her sister and heard that her sister wanted to bring her child to see her, Jiang Yan's first reaction was to refuse.

At that moment, she felt an inexplicable displeasure at her sister's actions—people are selfish.

When she was the older sister, she would give everything for her younger sister. As long as her younger sister could live a good life, she would do everything she could. But when she had her own child, her younger sister's priority inevitably decreased.

That's human nature.

The child that crawls out of your own womb is the continuation of your bloodline and genes; this feeling is wonderful and irreplaceable.

Jiang Yan knew that her momentary displeasure with her sister was unfounded.

My sister has given everything she could—she was so young then, yet she took on the responsibility and raised the child so well.

Is there anything wrong with her not wanting to waste her life on her child?

Does she really have to keep her sister from becoming her daughter's slave?

Jiang Yan isn't that bad; she's just a bit selfish and self-centered. But that doesn't mean she can just watch her younger sister sacrifice for her forever—that would be torture for her too.

So, she later discussed it with her husband, and they decided that if all the conditions were right, they would raise the child themselves. They couldn't let her sister bear everything anymore; they were the child's parents.

She is now recovering slowly after treatment. Her younger sister has already done enough for her, and it's unfair to let someone who was once a child in her eyes bear all her responsibilities.

People must be determined to take responsibility for everything. No one can rely on the efforts of others forever. They are already a family. If the child is willing to live with them, they will definitely take good care of the child.

Life is too unpredictable; no one knows what will happen next. Doing what you should do in the present moment is the most important thing.

After figuring things out, Jiang Yan patiently waited for her child to arrive—she missed her daughter so much that she hadn't seen her even once since she fell ill.

She knew her daughter's name was An'an, and that she was especially cute, beautiful, and polite, and that she was a celebrity at school, as if she had been a star since she was little.

She didn't know anything else, and she was afraid that the more she saw, the more heartbroken she would become, so she deliberately avoided contact with that kind of information.

Knowing they were coming, Jiang Yan couldn't sleep for several days.

If it weren't for the doctors watching over her, and given that she hasn't fully recovered and needs to get enough sleep, she might have been guarding the ward door all night long.

She wanted to see her daughter, and even more so, she wanted to see her precious daughter at first sight.

This time, her dream came true.

Looking at the lively and adorable child in front of her, Jiang Yan felt an urge to cry for the first time—tears of joy.

That's her daughter.

“An’an, go back there, that’s your mother.”

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Jiang Tian reminded her.

Unlike many TV dramas, the two sisters did not burst into tears and hug each other upon seeing each other.

In fact, they were already used to each other's way of getting along—they could be considerate of each other, but it was too difficult for them to show any real closeness.

On the contrary, Jiang Yan showed maternal love to An An.

Her eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw her daughter.

An'an did not back down, because she knew that this person really was her mother.

Without hesitation, she walked over with her short legs and looked at the person who had carried her for ten months and given birth to her with a curious gaze.

To be honest, Jiang Yan is really beautiful.

Even though she had been bedridden for many years and suffered from a serious illness, her facial features and overall bone structure could not lie—she was a true beauty, the kind of beauty that is not commonly seen.

Upon seeing her this time, An'an honestly exclaimed, "Wow, Mom, you're so beautiful!"

She naturally called out "Mom".

At that moment, Jiang Yan's tears broke free.

She wept bitterly, even sobbing uncontrollably.

No one knows how afraid she was that her daughter would disown her.

"One who gives birth but does not raise his child is not worthy of being a human being."

Even if she has many reasons, the fact remains that she did not raise the child and left the child to grow up without the company of her biological parents for so many years, and that fact cannot be hidden.
