Xiao Yun seemed to have guessed that Zhao Jing would say this. Without changing her expression, she lowered her voice and said, "Madam Qian, you are wrong to say that. After all, Duoduo is my flesh and blood, Lili’s own younger brother. When his sister gets married, he ought to return! Even if it’s standard for him to bring a monetary gift, it is only natural. Look at you—raising Duoduo while simultaneously raising your own biological son; that is simply too greedy! We aren't asking for much. We only want Duoduo to spend one day a week with us. The rest of the time belongs to you!"
Inside the courtyard, Qian Duo was hiding behind the trunk of an ancient tree, listening to the conversation at the gate. When he heard this, his hands gripped the hem of his shirt.
"Greedy? I think you are the greediest of all! The child you brought back that day is a demon, not my son. Only Duoduo is my son. Don't even talk about giving him to you for one day a week—I wouldn't agree to even a single hour!" Zhao Jing said coldly, her tone devoid of any warmth.
