“Sigh, daughters are like birds that fly away when they grow up,” Xingxing shook her head seriously, looking heartbroken. “We raised such a big daughter, and in the end she doesn’t even want her parents anymore. She only has men in her heart. How can we bear this?”
Zhang Xiantao was so angry that she jumped up and down. "Hey, you stinky Xingxing, if you dare to insult me again, I'll get angry! Who said I don't want my parents anymore?
