"I'm fine... I'm old, and my eyes tear up easily."

Lian Keyi, who was watching from the side, knew that her mother was making excuses for her tears.

——She obviously can’t control her emotions.

Gan Qi had always known that Mrs. Lian was in poor health, but she had not thought much about it.

Mrs. Lian: "What do you mean, you want to and you don't want to?"

Gan Qi sighed, and the paintbrush in his hand became hesitant.

"I would like to ask, is there any orphan in this world who doesn't want to know who his biological parents are? And who doesn't want to recognize his biological parents? But... sometimes I am afraid that they don't want to see me, that they dislike me."

Mrs. Lian: "There are no parents in this world who don't love their children. How could they possibly dislike them?"

Gan Qi smiled: "Auntie, you have been pampered for many years, and each of your children can be given a good life... But you don't know that there are many poor families in this world. They can't afford to raise children, and even prefer boys to girls... I'm afraid that if my parents think I'm a burden and throw me away, I will only get their cold eyes if I go back..."

"Maybe my biological parents are very poor, and they even have a younger brother. I guess they gave up on me in order to support my brother..."

Mrs. Lian: “How could that be…”

Her voice trembled and she burst into tears again.

"mom!"

Lian Keyi reminded her mother not to lose her composure as this might arouse Gan Qi's suspicion.

Mrs. Lian tried to calm down and said:

"Child, this is just your fantasy. Believe me! You were born in a very happy family. Your mother loves you very much and she thinks about you every day."

Gan Qi smiled faintly.

How she wished it were so.

"Well, thank you, auntie."

Seeing Mrs. Lian crying non-stop, Gan Qi thought of the years when she lived in her hometown as a child. There was a grandmother next door who also had a tearful problem. When the wind blew, her eyes could not stop crying, which greatly affected her life.

"Auntie, are you troubled by your constant tearing?"

Mrs. Lian wiped her cheek with a silk handkerchief and said, "It's an old problem. I just need to rest for a while."

Gan Qi: "There is a kind of herb in my hometown that is very effective. I will bring some back to you when I go back one day. Boiling it in water and drinking it will make your eyes better."

"Gan Qi is such a thoughtful and kind girl. Thank you in advance, Auntie."

"Oh, it's not a valuable thing, I hope you don't mind." Gan Qi smiled sweetly.

Mrs. Lian looked at her daughter in front of her and felt extremely relieved.

Thank God for raising his daughter to be so kind and independent.

When the painting was halfway done, Mrs. Lian's cell phone suddenly rang.

The person who called was Lian Shengpi.

She frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.

"Hey, Sheng Pi."

"Mom, where are you? Why didn't I see you at the villa?"

"Mom is in a good mood today, so I came out for a walk."

Lian Shengpi on the other end of the phone spoke in a strong tone: "The temperature has dropped and the wind is strong these two days. The doctor said that you can't go out easily and you have to take good care of yourself... Where are you now? I will bring you back immediately."

Mrs. Lian loved but felt helpless towards her son.

Although Lian Shengpi is very filial, he has been strong and stubborn since he was a child.

"No, your sister Ke Yi is with me."

Lian Shengpi snorted coldly: "What use is she? She just knows how to be conceited all day long."

Unfortunately, this was heard by Lian Keyi who was standing nearby, and Lian Keyi's temper flared up.

She took the phone from her mother and said, "Brother, why do you always look down on me? What's wrong with me accompanying mom for a walk? You've been busy with company matters all day. Have you ever accompanied mom shopping?"

Lian Shengpi said coldly: "Shopping? Shopping is something you women do. The company has so many things to deal with every day. I am consolidating the business empire for my mother. I won't play it like you do."

Lian Keyi: "Humph, you always emphasize your ability and completely ignore my efforts. If you do this again, I will be angry!"

Lian Shengpi didn't want to chat with his sister.

"Where are you and mom? There are so many bad guys out there, you have to be careful."

Lian Keyi: "Brother, in your opinion, are there no good people in this world? Mom and I are safe. We are in Gan Qi's painting studio, making a self-portrait for Mom."

"Ganqi?"

Hearing this name, Lian Shengpi frowned.

Why is it her again? This female liar is endless.

Lian Shengpi: "Didn't I remind you not to get too close to this girl? Come back now! Immediately!"
