"Xiaomai, we won't ask you to leave your current parents, especially since Wanrong has long passed away."
Zhan Liang said sadly, lowering his head.
Hearing this, Mai Xiaomai's heart made a sudden sound, as if something had broken.
Huang Wanrong is no longer alive?
Her biological mother...
Her heart suddenly ached as if being cut by a knife.
This woman was truly merciless; she abandoned her at birth and then passed away before she could even see her, leaving her without a chance to hate her.
How could she have left so early?
How old was she?
Impossible!
She stared at Zhan Liang, hoping to see from his face that he was lying.
However, Zhan Liang's face was filled with the grief and remorse of losing his precious daughter.
It didn't look like he was lying.
"Why is her surname Huang and not Zhan? You must be mistaken."
"The situation was unstable before, and I faced many storms, for safety, she took your grandmother's surname."
