"Thank you. Thank you for raising the child," Fang Yue said with great emotion.
Ji Ying sent Xu Nianji to fetch Nianhua's photos. When Nianhua was ten years old, she had one photo taken. Later, when the family's conditions improved, Pei Yining took quite a few photos of Xu Nianhua, including ones of her at Beining University.
"We were poor before and didn't leave Nianhua with many photos," Ji Ying explained, still able to recall after all these years just how adorable her daughter was as a child.
"This, is this Nianhua?" Fang Yue looked at the photo of a radiant Xu Nianhua and felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
She was looking at Xu Nianhua's photo at the entrance of Beining University. In the photo, she was brimming with youth, her big eyes shining and spirited.
Even as a woman, Fang Yue could sense that Xu Nianhua was very beautiful, even more so than Gu Mingzhu, whom she had always treasured since childhood.
