Chang Meihua sighed with emotion, reflecting on how well the Ling family had developed, only to be left without a clear successor. After Ling Juezhi’s wife passed away, he had adopted a daughter, but it was in name only; she was never truly treated as a Ling family child. No matter how hard Ling Zihan worked, he was only one man holding up the sky, and it was exhausting.
That was why, when Ling Zihan had declared he wouldn't marry, Chang Meihua hadn't shown her anxiety, but she had been worried sick inside. Like Fu Yurou, she had initially thought that if Ling Zihan were to suddenly insist on marriage, she would have accepted anyone who wasn't too terrible. But after meeting Fu Yurou, she was satisfied. No one was perfect, and as an elder, she couldn't be too picky if she wanted her child to be happy. In truth, Chang Meihua just felt sorry for her son; she wanted him to come home to the person he loved after his long, tiring days.
The mother and daughter-in-law finished their tour of the nursery, chatting and laughing, when they bumped into Ling Qingzhi and Ling Zihan, who were coming out of the study.
