Well, now not only do Qiu Yixian and Qin Yishu have an extra daughter, but Qin Xian has gained an older sister. Yu Zexiao also has a few more of his "wife’s maternal relatives" he must win over.

Since Jian Panying seldom visits, Qiu Yixian suggested that the two families should interact more often.

Jian Anning didn’t plan to keep this from Jian Panying. Once the family got home from the hotel and closed the door, she called Jian Panying: "Mom, today, my dad’s old friend, also my godmother, came over. She’s also a friend of my mother-in-law. She wants to recognize me as her daughter, and I agreed."

About Jian Anning’s "godmother", Jian Panying had heard before that she was her ex-husband’s friend—and indeed, his lifelong love. A crucial reason for Jian Panying’s decisive divorce from Ma Xinyu was that shortly after she gave birth to Jian Anning, on the day of the baby’s first-month celebration, Ma Xinyu drank too much and inadvertently called out, "Yixian."

Qiu Yixian—Qiu Yixian, although Ma Xinyu usually didn’t talk about her, Jian Panying knew there was always this woman in his heart. Not only that, he named his daughter "Yiyi." Imagine, what woman could tolerate this? Despite Ma Xinyu’s decent treatment towards her, she resolutely divorced him.

Though their marriage was a family arrangement with little genuine affection, what wife would want her husband to keep calling another woman’s name? Due to Ma Xinyu naming their daughter "Yiyi," Jian Panying later didn’t particularly like this daughter, among other reasons.

Later, when her daughter returned to her, she insisted on changing Jian Anning’s name because the original name truly irritated her. To her surprise, after all this, Qiu Yixian still sought her daughter out!

Holding her phone, Jian Panying listened as she said on the other side: "I didn’t expect my godmother’s family happens to be an old acquaintance of the Yu family, and we met today."

Jian Panying listened, getting more stunned. The Yu family’s acquaintance clearly meant Qiu Yixian was doing quite well. Indeed, she knew back then that Qiu Yixian, at a young age, was already the president of the listed company Huaxia Country’s regional division, highly capable.

Back then, although her own background wasn’t lacking either, she didn’t feel disadvantaged in comparison, but now...

Moreover, it’s most unsettling that her ex-husband’s constant affection for Qiu Yixian was one thing, but her own biological daughter also respected her more.

Nonetheless, what can dissatisfaction change? Nothing else to say; she herself essentially pushed her daughter away. And now, while making this call to inform her, her tone left no room for discussion, as if she was directly saying that she had accepted Qiu Yixian as her godmother.

"As long as you like it." Swallowing her feelings of slight bitterness, how could she have the right to intervene in Jian Anning’s matters now? Even if Jian Anning wanted to recognize Qiu Yixian as her actual mother, she could do nothing about it.

Perhaps because Jian Panying’s attitude had been very good lately, Jian Anning hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "You too, take care of your health."

Just that one simple greeting made tears gush in Jian Panying’s eyes. She actually knew that her elder daughter, although quiet, had a pure mind from beginning to end.

Had she—missed something?
