Ning Xiaofei gazed at Chu Xinning, who sat opposite her, looking a mix of helpless and anxious as she handed over a document. For a moment, she was silent.
For some reason, this woman in front of her suddenly reminded Ning Xiaofei of her mother.
Back then, her mother was terminally ill, and one morning, she woke up to find her mother sitting at her bedside, dressed neatly, asking Ning Xiaofei to accompany her to a place.
That day was the first time Ning Xiaofei visited the Ji Family.
That day was also the first time she saw her mother kneel before someone else. Her mother, tortured by illness and reduced nearly to skin and bones, knelt in front of her father, crying and begging him to take in her daughter.
...
Taking a deep breath, Ning Xiaofei controlled her emotions.
"I... I understand your feelings, but... I really can't accept this money."
