Zhou Jiuzhen suddenly strode up to her and coldly rebuked her, "Ling Huanwu, where did you run off to in the middle of the night? Do you know I've been looking for you all night? I even wanted to go to the Qin family to look for you this morning..."
Ling Huanwu stared at his furrowed brows and the reproachful look on his thin, sharp lips beneath his high, straight nose, which was still damp with sweat. She could no longer care that she was covered in sweat and dust, and threw herself into his arms in front of everyone.
The next moment, Zhou Jiuzhen froze, and the words of reproach he was about to say came to an abrupt halt.
"Zhou Jiuzhen, don't you secretly want to hug me? I want to hug you too!"

But Ling Huanwu couldn't understand them and didn't treat them like her parents.
Then they don't want their own daughter anymore.
Looking at the brand-new will, knowing that everything in this family belonged to her, Song Yaoyao could no longer hide her excitement and covered her lips to laugh out loud.
