No, no, Alice is clearly of pure English bloodline, absolutely not mixed-race.
So, if Alice calls Aunt Tong 'Mommy,' there's only one possibility: Aunt Tong is Alice's stepmother.
Tong Ruoxin didn't notice any hostility from Alice toward Xia Weiyi and explained, "Last time, when Mommy went out shopping, wasn't she hit by a car? It was Miss Xia here who helped her to the hospital."
"After Mommy came out, Miss Xia paid all the medical expenses and left. I looked for her for several days and couldn't find her. Who would've thought I'd run into her here? What a coincidence!"
As she spoke, Tong Ruoxin glanced at Aberji and added, "Taking advantage of this opportunity, we must properly thank Miss Xia."
Aberji held Tong Ruoxin's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness and indulgence, unmistakable without words: "Alright, whatever you say."
Then, he turned to Xia Weiyi, giving her a slight bow. "Thank you, Mrs. Ye, for saving my wife."
