Both Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan had heard some of the rumours.

According to them, Yin Hua married into the Tong family because of her good looks and she was only interested in the Tong family’s money. Tong Yukai didn’t love or treat Yin Hua well, and he just thought that Yin Hua was pretty.

Because at that time the Yin family was on the verge of bankruptcy, but they were able to recover in only a few years after the marriage.

So are the rumours wrong?

Xu Xinduo could neither ask nor wanted to believe them.

Yin Hua continued talking: “Tong Yan came by earlier, he was looking for you.”

“Hmm.. yes. He sent me a message.”

“Did he tell you that he wanted to give up studying abroad?”

“Yes.”

“That silly boy cares about you.” Yin Hua began to smile meaningfully, making Xu Xinduo feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Xinduo was about to sit down, but after hearing Yin Hua, she remained standing next to the refrigerator as if waiting for punishment from her mom. She was at a loss for a while before saying, “We have a special relationship. In fact, we don’t have any other thoughts. You can rest assured.”

Yin Hua seemed surprised: “Why should I be rest assured?”

Xu Xinduo looked up at Yin Hua, opened her lips and said nothing.

Yin Hua turned to face Xu Xinduo. She put her hand on the table and said frankly: “He is my son. I can see how his attitude towards someone is. I don’t know how far your relationship has developed and I won’t intervene. I even think that this smelly boy won’t be enlightened if he doesn’t experience some setbacks. I just want to tell you that I like you very much.”

Xu Xinduo was completely stunned.

Yin Hua smiled gently at Xu Xinduo: “Some of the rumours are true. If a girl I don’t like interacts with my son, I will definitely break their relationship. But I like you, and as long as I like you, your family background doesn’t matter at all. It also doesn’t matter how much you earn. As long as you are willing and you two are in love, I will let you be my daughter-in-law.”

Xu Xinduo quickly explained: “No, no! It’s impossible!”

“Why?”

“He doesn’t like me and I also gave up…”

“…” Yin Hua looked at Xu Xinduo for a long while and suddenly smiled, seemingly finding the situation quite interesting. She just read Xu Xinduo’s contract, she knew that Xu Xinduo was not allowed to enter into a relationship for a year.

She really didn’t know how Tong Yan would feel after hearing Xu Xinduo say that she had given up. But Yin Hua was gloating a little.

Yin Hua got up with a smile and said: “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you two don’t enter into a relationship. When you are old enough, I will surely introduce you to some excellent boys. If you two don’t fall in love… How about becoming brothers and sisters?”

“Okay.”

Yin Hua walked over and rubbed Xu Xinduo’s head: “I will treat you as my own daughter. After all, you grew up under my watch. I have a sense of attachment with you and I also like you very much. You are my strongest child. Don’t get too tired, pay attention to your own safety, and go to bed after making the biscuits.”

“Okay, thank you, Auntie.”

“When it’s just the two of us, just call me mom.”

When Xu Xinduo looked at Yin Hua, her eyes lit up instantly and she answered without hesitation: “Yes, mom.”

Although it was just a simple word, Xu Xinduo’s voice trembled when she called out “mom”.

Her family affection had been weak all these years. She herself thought that she had become indifferent to it, but her heart suddenly felt as if it was going to explode from happiness. She suddenly had a real mother.

She was no longer stealing Yin Hua’s love for Tong Yan, but they were Yin Hua’s feelings for her only.

Yin Hua was willing to be Xu Xinduo’s mother.
