"Hmm." Jiang Can nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes. "I always feel that Ranran has changed. Ever since her mother passed away, she hasn't been able to get over this knot in her heart. If this continues, I'm afraid Yangyang will suffer!"
Huo Zhixing looked at her quietly.
Jiang Can pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and asked softly, "Honey, am I being selfish? I only think about my own child..."
“Silly girl, it’s a mother’s instinct!” Huo Zhixing hugged her and gently patted her shoulder. “It’s just that Ranran’s life has been too difficult. It would be really wrong for us to mistreat her.”
“But we can’t let her do things that harm our children just because of her pitiful background!” Huo Zhixing’s gaze was deep. “We have to talk to Ashan and Yuqing.”

Jiang Can's birthday banquet was grand yet warm. In addition to the huge aerial projection screen, Huo Zhixing also presented her with a priceless Mogu Pigeon Blood Stone.
A touch of red on the translucent stone, like the cinnabar mark on his heart.
And Jiang Can truly became his lifelong memory.
Jiang Can doesn't like to show off, so she didn't invite many people to her birthday party; they were mostly close relatives and friends.
In the past, gatherings were often a group of relatives and friends with their babies. Now, when they reunite, the babies have all grown up, and the relatives and friends have entered middle age, gathering together to reminisce about the past and talk about life.
The banquet became the domain of the young people.
Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian became the pillars and face of the family, helping their parents entertain guests with politeness and thoughtfulness.
Huo Junyang was still acting like a social butterfly, laughing and joking among his friends, holding Lu Ran's hand as they weaved through the crowd.
Meanwhile...
Pei Nian didn't want to come, but she couldn't resist Huo Jingnan's persistent pleading. Her appearance immediately attracted many curious glances.
Everyone was talking about the heroine who once saved Grandma Huo; little did they know she was also a great beauty.
What's even more unexpected is that she actually managed to win over Huo Jingnan, a perpetually straight man!
Pei Nian kept her head down the whole way, feeling embarrassed by everyone's stares. Huo Jingnan held her little hand the whole time, greeting her left and right with a face full of pride, as if afraid that others wouldn't know that this was his girlfriend.
"Pei Nian!" Bai Zhijin, holding a glass of champagne, walked over from not far away with a smile.
"You're wearing this today? I told you the other day that your fair skin is perfect for this light blue color!"
Pei Nian nodded politely and smiled at her.
"Hey? Why are your hands empty again?" Bai Zhijin looked at her and immediately had someone fetch her small white handbag.
"No, Miss Bai, I can't accept this..."
"Don't be shy!" Bai Zhijin handed her the handbag. "You look great with this outfit and this bag!"
Pei Nian wanted to decline, but Bai Zhijin pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Don't feel bad! I love seeing beautiful things with beautiful people! Since this bag suits you so well, just take it! Huo Jingnan might not be able to find something this suitable."
"That's right, that's right." Huo Jingnan chuckled. "Weaving Brocade is one of our own, no need to be polite!"
Pei Nian felt a warmth in her heart, glanced at Bai Zhijin, and finally accepted it.
She kept this favor in her heart, constantly reminding herself that she would repay it many times over in the future.
At that moment, Huo Junyang was chatting with Lu Ran and his friends not far away. Lu Ran turned her head and immediately noticed the small bag in Pei Nian's hand.
She was slightly surprised and instinctively covered her handbag...
These two bags are actually the same!
