Zhou Ran stared at the photo on the wall. The little girl resembled Xu Mengxi a lot, with those big eyes. But unlike Xu Mengxi, the little girl was much more lively.
"She's a bit mischievous, but very clever and well-behaved. She won't cause trouble for anyone," Xu Mengxi said weakly, her face pale.
At that moment, Zhou Ran understood Xu Mengxi's intention. She wanted to entrust Xu Chaomu to her.
Zhou Ran frowned, feeling conflicted inside.
"Aran… I beg you, please take Chaomu with you. Can you give her a home? She's still so young. I don't want to send her to an orphanage. Orphanages are chaotic, and she won't get a good education. Chaomu is very smart; she won't trouble anyone. She's obedient at school, too."
Xu Mengxi pleaded with Zhou Ran desperately, tears streaming down her face as she spoke.
Zhou Ran realized that this meeting's sole purpose was precisely this.
Looking at the little girl on the wall, Zhou Ran felt unsettled within.
