“What about your mom's sickness? Did she get it treated? However, I heard that she's no longer with us.”

Ning Ran's frowned. “By the time I got the money, my mom was already gone. The most ironic part of all was that I wasn't my father's biological daughter. Hence, my step-sister and I aren't related by blood.”

Feng Wan was stunned, as she didn't imagine Ning Ran to have gone through so much suffering.

“In that case, who's your real father?”

“I don't know.” Ning Ran shook her head. “But it doesn't matter anymore.”

“You poor child. How did you manage to raise the children alone?” Feng Wan patted Ning Ran on her shoulder.

She beamed in response. “I don't really remember. It was difficult at the start, but I gradually wrapped my hands around it. Also, I didn't need to worry much due to how sensible both children were. We didn't live well, but it was still all right.”

“If you knew that the children were Nan Chen's back then, would you have allowed him to financially support you?” Feng Wan suddenly asked.

“I would.” Ning Ran didn't hesitate at all. “Since he's rich, the children could have suffered less with his support. That's something which I still feel guilty about until now.”

Then she added, “I hope you don't think that I'm a gold-digger. I don't mean I need a lot from him, just enough to supplement the children's nutritional needs, that's all.”

“I understand! Actually, refusing financial support would cause me to think that you were pretending to be principled. Being able to set your ego aside for your children is how a true mother should behave. Therefore, I don't see you as a gold-digger. In truth, given how pretty you are, you won't have trouble living a comfortable life as long as you're willing to give up on your principles.”

Feng Wan was a truly sharp lady. Lucky for Ning Ran, she had answered honestly, for any attempt to lie would never get past the former.

Considering how observant Feng Wan was, she could easily see through anyone. That was the same reason she felt annoyed by Bai Hua's hypocritical behavior.

It would have been fine if she had kept her pretentious behavior to herself. The fact that she treated everyone as idiots who could be fooled by her was what made her loathsome.
