Chapter 927 Giving Up

• Every piece of info her mother revealed to her added to the heaviness in her heart as she realized Zhou Xiao was never a ruffian to begin with. She was a fitting match with Ning Jian and never someone whom Hu Tu had assumed to be undeserving of Ning Jian. Zhou Xiao wasn’t only as intelligent as Ning Jian, but she would also be of equal status to Ning Jian when compared to his identity as an illegitimate child.
• If Hu Tu still held on to a sliver of hope before that, her mother’s words were enough to crush all her ungrounded hopes and dreams. She lowered her head after staring at her mother for a while. Although she wasn’t her mother by blood, she had taken care of Hu Tu for many years and was perhaps one of the people who knew her well.
• Hu Tu wondered if her mother knew something, considering the fact that she mentioned Zhou Xiao, and her heart sank for a moment due to the uneasiness she felt. Hu Tu didn’t really understand the purpose of her mother’s words, and neither did Hu Tu want to conjecture her intentions, so she nodded calmly and murmured an acknowledgment in response.
