"Brother-in-law, a toast to you.
I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea what kind of life my sister used to live.
Every year, on the second day of the New Year when I'd come to visit, it didn't matter if there was a great wind or a heavy snow.
My sister would be standing at the main gate, just waiting and watching for me.
How could I not know? It was because no one in that residence liked her, and she had no one to talk to."
Lu Yuan didn't say much. He just clinked his cup with Song Chi's, and the two of them drained them in one go.
Song Chi, however, had become talkative, sighing as he spoke:
"Brother-in-law, you don't know this, but I used to dread visiting for the New Year. Every time I saw my sister standing at the main gate, waiting…
It was just gut-wrenching. There was nothing I could do but watch helplessly.
Our parents didn't care for her, so I was the only close family she had.
