Tong Yao reached out and pulled Connie closer, smiling as she said, "Mom didn't love you in vain."
"Mom…" Connie glanced apologetically at her mother-in-law. "I apologize on behalf of my second sister-in-law. For my sake, could you forgive her just this once?"
Tong Yao affectionately patted Connie's hand and replied with a smile, "No matter how old Celia is, she's still a child in front of me. I won't hold grudges with her. You don't need to apologize to me for her. I came back today to say something to your parents."
