CapĂtulo 1133: Chapter 1196: All Right, I Wonât Cry
Are children from other families not considered children?
Is it only your adopted daughter that counts as a person, while others are not? Such bias makes her uncomfortable. But then again, arenât all humans selfish? What right does she have to criticize others?
If someone were to hurt her family, wouldnât she also go to any lengths, maybe even more unreasonable than the Hai Family?
In truth, she already has a new family, and the old one has been excluded. Even if she remembers, those events were fifteen years ago, and the image of her grandfather has become blurred in her memory.
âBaoâer?â Ji Lihua couldnât help but call out, as he is two years older than Hai Shen and played with Baoâer the most as a child. His memories of those times are even deeper.
Seeing Baoâer who was finally found, now so indifferent to the Hai Family, itâs impossible not to feel sad.
âWhat do you want us to do to forgive your father and grandfather?â Ji Lihua asked helplessly.
âI have a father.â Anâanâs pale face showed a hint of distress as she looked towards Sheng Ning. The others followed suit, and in an instant, everyoneâs gaze was fixed on her.
âThatâs my father. You used to call Mom, but now itâs Auntie, and in the future, my father will be your Uncle.â Sheng Ning mentally apologized to Sheng Laosan.
He has done so much for the sisters, more than any father, more excellent and responsible. Saying this is unfair to him, but she couldnât say anything else in the face of an old manâs expectant eyes.
If Dad were here, he would surely support her decision.
Sheng Ning knew this, so after understanding it, she resolutely said, âAnâan, this is your grandfather, who has done so much to find you. What happened back then wasnât them abandoning you; they simply couldnât bear to part with you! Family bonds are priceless. We need to cherish them while they are still here, so we donât end up like meâŠâ
Thinking of her grandfather lying on the bed, already unconscious and unable to eat, Sheng Ningâs eyes involuntarily welled up.
âDonât cry; you look awful when crying,â Anâan said disdainfully.
âAlright, I wonât cry.â Sheng Ning wiped her tears and smiled. She knew Anâan was compromising, her attitude beginning to soften.
âThank you!â Mr. Hai deeply bowed to Sheng Ning, and neither Ji Lihua nor Sheng Ning could stop him, no matter how much they tried.
âPlease donât, if you do this, I will feel even worse!â She wasnât saying this to gain gratitude from others; she simply didnât want Anâan to regret one day.
She already felt very sorry towards Dad in her heart.
âYour father is a great man, and our whole family is very grateful to him, thank you⊠truly, thank youâŠâ Mr. Su spoke with solemnity and earnestness: âWhether Baoâer acknowledges us or not, we are deeply grateful to him. Grateful that he raised Baoâer, that he took such good care of Baoâer. He gave him the father and familial love we couldnât provide.â
These were Mr. Haiâs heartfelt words, reflecting the sentiments of the entire Hai Family.
âJust stop!â Sheng Ning shook her head, âMy dad wouldnât want thanks, please donât say anymore.â
âThank you!â Mr. Hai and Ji Lihua bowed simultaneously. Besides expressing their gratitude, they didnât know how else to convey their feelings; any words seemed powerless in the face of fifteen years of nurturing.
Material wealth, money⊠these are what the Hai Family can offer, but Sheng Ningâs father would absolutely disdain them.
