As they were laughing, someone softly called from behind, “Xiaotang.” Fu Xiaotang turned around to see Auntie Li and Song Ying staring at her intently. After exchanging a few words with Zhang Rong and Zhang Yindie, Fu Xiaotang met Fang Junjie’s eyes, who nodded with a smile. She nodded back, then approached the mother and daughter, “Auntie, Xiao Ying.” Song’s mother hesitated before gripping Fu Xiaotang’s hands. Song Ying, on the side, was already in tears. Fu Xiaotang felt quite guilty. Ever since she learned that Aunt Li was Song Li’s mother, she had not contacted her again, nor had she visited Tang Li. Perhaps she felt too embarrassed, fearing that meeting each other would be awkward. As for Xiao Ying, she had completely cut ties, not seeing each other since leaving the Song family. “Auntie, congratulations!” Fu Xiaotang, at a loss for words, managed to squeeze out this sentence after a long pause. Upon seeing Fu Xiaotang, Song’s mother was very excited, her mind filled with a thousand words, yet she could say none, only gripping her hand tightly as if she would disappear if let go. “Tang Tang, you are really heartless!” Song Ying interjected from the side. “You said you wouldn’t see me, and you really didn’t. Do you know how much I’ve missed you? That day, watching you walk away like that, I was still being stubborn and not speaking to you, leaving you alone. I was really upset, but you, you didn’t even give me a chance to make amends…” Song Ying grew more and more upset, nearly in tears. Fu Xiaotang quickly grabbed Song Ying’s hand, shaking it, “Don’t cry, Xiao Ying, don’t cry. Today is your brother’s big day. All those things are in the past, aren’t they? I’m doing well now.” Song Ying pouted, wiping her eyes, then looked Fu Xiaotang up and down, sniffing with joy and relief, “You really do look different now, almost unrecognizable from before. That guy,” Song Ying nodded towards Fang Junjie, who was chatting and smiling with Zhang Yindi in the distance, “he’s really handsome. Look at how radiant you are now, it must be all his doing. He must treat you well, definitely better than my brother did,” she said, her voice tinged with a hint of jealousy.
