"How long has it been since you last went home?"
Chu Xiu's question hit Lin Yan deep, leaving her speechless. She made an excuse, "Haven't I been busy? Once I'm done, I'll find time to go back."
Chu Xiu could see Lin Yan's evasion and advised her, "Find some time to visit. Dad's been coughing a lot lately. He refuses to go to the hospital, and you know, I'm not his real daughter, so there are things I can't say."
Lin Yan asked with concern, "Is the cough severe?"
Chu Xiu replied, "Pretty bad, he can't sleep at night. So as I suggested, take Bao and move out. As for Yueyue, she can stay wherever she likes. One's energy is limited, and I can't manage everything."
Lin Yan often felt that Yueyue didn't deserve this, but she also understood Chu Xiu's limited energy, always focused on Bao, and neglecting her healthy, smart daughter.
