Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

The driver found a parking space and parked the car. Mu Tiantian followed her parents into the temple.

Unlike the temples in the southern part of the city, the temples here are larger and more magnificent.

To get to the temple, you have to climb a rather high flight of stairs.

The Martin boots Mu Tiantian was wearing weren't high, only three or four centimeters, which was much more comfortable than wearing high heels.

She noticed that her mother's boots were higher than hers, so she grabbed her mother's arm with one hand. She was also worried about her father, who had been so angry with her that he must have been severely weakened, so she grabbed him with her other hand.

I'm trying to take care of both.

Xia Guiying smiled and said, "Ruohan, Mom is fine. You just need to support your dad."

"Mom, these steps are so high, it's tiring to walk up them." Mu Tiantian looked up at the high steps.

At the top of the steps is a pyramid.

From this angle, it looks really tall.

I wonder if there's any point in building such high steps.

It might be inconvenient for older people to go up there.

After climbing a few steps, she found it easy, so she grabbed one in each hand and walked hand in hand.

Qin Dongyang looked at Mu Tiantian and Xia Guiying across their eyes, both of them smiling with relief and happiness.

The daughter injured her foot while wearing high heels, but still took care of her parents.

This shows how filial the child is.

Xia Guiying was used to wearing high heels and didn't find them tiring, but after all, she was almost fifty years old and didn't have the habit of exercising regularly, so she was still a little tired halfway through the walk.

She glanced at Mu Tiantian's hand, which was still holding onto her tightly, and enjoyed her daughter's care.

Qin Dongyang also enjoyed it. Watching his daughter climb the steps so earnestly and attentively, he increasingly felt the happiness of being a father.

He once asked Master Wukong why the steps were made so high.

The monk said that everyone who is confused should understand that there are no insurmountable obstacles in life. It's like climbing stairs; it may seem very high, but once you climb it, you'll realize that you can reach it.

If you only go halfway through and then stop, then it's all for nothing.

He thought the meaning was quite good.

Since he became a Buddhist, his mind has broadened considerably, and he has become more open-minded.

My mind has calmed down, but I still can't let go of the matter of Fu Zhenlong.

He is not a saint; he cannot forget.

I still feel very emotional every time I think about it.

Sometimes when I'm really feeling down, I come here to seek guidance from Master Wukong.

But even though I understand the道理 (principles/reasoning), I find it hard to control my emotions.

As Master Wukong said, no matter what others say, it's useless; only he himself can untie that knot in his heart.

While I was thinking, I had already climbed to the top of the steps.

Mu Tiantian stopped to rest.

Qin Dongyang felt a pang of heartache and guilt as he looked at Mu Tiantian, who was panting.

He glanced down at Mu Tiantian's Martin boots again, "Ruohan, is your foot alright?"

Mu Tiantian shook her head, "It's just a little scrape, I didn't twist my ankle. When I was little, I would still jump around and skip rope with my friends even when I twisted my ankle. Don't worry, your daughter has the life of a princess, but not the princess syndrome."

Seeing that her parents still felt sorry and guilty, Mu Tiantian let go, raised her arms, and made a strong gesture, "I am a princess like a lion."

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying were both amused by her description.

Master Wukong walked over and happened to see this scene. He was instantly attracted by Mu Tiantian's unconventional description.

He sized up Mu Tiantian, noticing that she had helped Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying upstairs. He noticed a resemblance between Mu Tiantian and the couple, and recalling Qin Dongyang's frequent complaints about losing his child, he began to speculate.

It must be a daughter!

Qin Dongyang also saw Master Wukong. He led his wife and daughter over, put his hands together, and greeted him, "Master Wukong, what a coincidence! I came here today to look for you."

Master Wukong could sense a significant change in Qin Dongyang's demeanor.

Before, I felt like all my energy had been drained.

Things are very different now.

Qin Dongyang frequently donated money to temples, and he was also an honest and straightforward person with whom he had a good personal relationship. He was very happy for Qin Dongyang.

"What do you want?"

"Master Wukong, it's like this: I'd like you to calculate a wedding date for my daughter, whether the next three days are suitable for a wedding!"

Master Wukong looked Mu Tiantian over again, "Is this your daughter?"

Judging from his appearance, he is a blessed child.

Qin Dongyang nodded and pulled Mu Tiantian forward a little. "I've finally found my daughter!"

He began to introduce Mu Tiantian and Master Wukong to each other.

"This is my daughter, Ruohan."

Master Wukong clasped his hands together and nodded to Mu Tiantian.

The child's name is also very good.

After Qin Dongyang introduced Master Wukong, Mu Tiantian also put her hands together in prayer.

Qin Dongyang couldn't wait any longer and asked directly, "Is it convenient for Master Wukong to do the divination now?"

Master Wukong could tell that Qin Dongyang was in a hurry. He didn't remember Qin Dongyang being such an impatient person. He felt that there must be some hidden reason behind it, and he became more curious.

"It's still early, and there's nothing particularly urgent to do. If you're in a hurry, I'll calculate it for you first."

Master Wukong led the three into a room.

He took out paper and pen and asked Qin Dongyang to write down the birth times of Mu Tiantian and her fiancé.

On his way back yesterday, Qin Dongyang asked Ling Yakun for Ling Jieyu's birth time, down to the exact minute.

Mu Tiantian only then realized that her real birthday was not March 10th, but June 29th, and that she was born at 6:3 in the morning.

She is not a Pisces, but a Cancer.

The fortune teller who told me my birth date was destined to be a wealthy heiress. I don't know if the fortune teller just said it randomly or if it was just a coincidence.

She glanced at Ling Jieyu's birthday.

11 month 19 day.

If I remember correctly, it's Scorpio.

It's said that Scorpio men are the most lustful, and it's certainly true.

She suddenly remembered something: the most compatible signs with Scorpio are Pisces and Cancer.

Scorpio is compatible with any of the three major water signs.

The thought of her being a perfect match for Ling Jieyu made her feel disgusted and nauseous.

However, since horoscopes are a matter of high probability, as netizens have said, even dogs can get a few of them right.

Don't trust them too much.

"Master Wukong, first calculate Ruohan's birth chart, then calculate the birth chart of your marriage partner, then see if the marriage is compatible, and finally calculate the best date in the near future based on the birth charts of both of you. If there is a suitable date within three days, then it would be best to get married within three days." Qin Dongyang said his request when he saw Master Wukong had already started calculating.

He had previously consulted Master Wukong to calculate his daughter's birth chart, hoping to see from the chart whether there was any possibility of her being found.

But Master Wukong said he didn't want him to place his hopes on fate, and only said that when the time comes, the child will come back.

Now it seems that I was absolutely right!

The process was just too difficult.

Mu Tiantian stared cautiously at Master Wukong.

It will definitely take a lot of time.

This is the only opportunity she has to ask for help while she waits.

How can I get rid of both my biological parents at the same time?

She remembered that her biological mother and Jiang Hui had added each other on WeChat.

Immediately send a message to Jiang Hui: Mom, do me a favor. Whether Ashen and I can be together depends on this. Right now, make a voice call to my mom and chat for half an hour, the longer the better.

Jiang Hui had just finished eating hotpot and was about to go pay the bill when she saw Mu Tiantian's urgent message. She didn't even bother to pay the bill.

After replying that Mom understood, he showed Xiao Hailan and Zhong Qiuyi the message Mu Tiantian sent, told the cashier to pay later, and then walked to the side to make a WeChat voice call to Xia Guiying.

Xiao Hailan and Zhong Qiuyi both wanted to pay the bill, and they both wanted to finish quickly so they could listen to Jiang Hui and Xia Guiying's voices.

Xiao Hailan was quick and opened WeChat Pay first.

Seeing that Zhong Qiuyi was embarrassed, she smiled generously and said, "Qiuyi, don't be so polite with me. You can treat me next time."

Zhong Qiuyi felt it was inappropriate to be too polite at this time, so she smiled and nodded, and she and Xiao Hailan quickly walked out the door. One of them stood next to Jiang Hui and listened closely.

The silence in the room was suddenly broken by a WeChat voice call.

Xia Guiying felt a little embarrassed. She took out her phone and was surprised to see that it was a WeChat voice call from Jiang Hui.

Last night before going to bed, she wanted to make a voice call to chat with Jiang Hui, but seeing how late it was, she was afraid of disturbing Jiang Hui's rest, so she didn't make the call.

Ever since she learned about Jiang Hui's ordeal, she felt particularly sorry for and heartbroken for her.

In such a difficult environment, Jiang Hui was able to protect her daughter and give her the best maternal love, which moved and grateful her deeply.

She told herself that she could no longer be jealous of Jiang Hui so easily, and that she should take the initiative to become friends with Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui's voice call came at just the right time.

She greeted Qin Dongyang and Mu Tiantian, then went outside to answer the call.

"Hey, Ah Hui..."

After swiping, she first called out "Ah Hui," but then didn't know what else to say.

Jiang Hui felt something was off when Xia Guiying called her "Ah Hui," though she could hear the enthusiasm in Xia Guiying's tone.

She responded warmly, "Yes, Ah Ying, is it convenient for me to listen to a voice message now? Am I bothering you?"

As they stepped out the door, Xia Guiying closed it. Mu Tiantian heard her mother's teasing voice, "I'm at the temple right now, so it's not very convenient. But since you took the initiative to call me, I'll listen no matter how inconvenient it is."

This joke made everyone feel less awkward.

Jiang Hui then asked, "What are you going to the temple for? Is Tian...Ruohan coming along?"

She felt that calling Tian Tian by her real name would make Xia Guiying feel more comfortable.

Xia Guiying didn't want to tell the truth and ruin the atmosphere she had worked so hard to create, but she also hoped that Jiang Hui could give up.

She knew that Jiang Hui liked Fu Zhengting so much that she definitely hoped her daughter would be with Fu Zhengting.

She had to come up with an excuse, "Well, Ruohan got up early today, so I brought her along. Ruohan's dad is planning to open a few branch companies, so we came to calculate the auspicious dates and see when would be a good time to open."

Jiang Hui wasn't stupid; she knew Xia Guiying was probably being somewhat perfunctory. She was very curious about Mu Tiantian's situation and hoped she could help her.

"Then congratulations! Your husband is really capable. I'm so happy for Ruohan that she has such an amazing father."

She had already figured out what to talk about to keep the conversation going.

The most common topics of conversation among married women are nothing more than children and marriage.

Thinking of Xia Guiying's exquisite appearance, she was genuinely a little envious.

Which woman doesn't want to live a refined life?

Not every woman is destined for that.

Xia Guiying couldn't tell if Jiang Hui's sigh was out of envy. But when she thought of what Mu Tiantian had told her about Jiang Hui's experiences, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Ah Hui, don't worry. You've raised Ruohan for so many years, I won't treat you unfairly. I've saved up quite a bit of money over the years. If you need money, just ask..."

As she spoke, she opened the chat page and transferred 200,000 yuan.

Judging from her daughter's description, Jiang Hui is not a greedy person; she was afraid that if she transferred too much money, Jiang Hui would not accept it.

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to properly treat you to a meal to thank you. I'm really sorry. When I have some free time, I'll bring you to the Qin family home. If you feel comfortable living here, you can stay for a longer period."

She felt very guilty that she couldn't invite Jiang Hui to her daughter's family reunion banquet yesterday due to the last minute.

I feel that neither Qin Dongyang nor I have done a good enough job.

But the thought of Jiang Hui and Fu Zhengting's good relationship still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The only way to make up for it is with money or other means.

Hearing her express such guilt made Jiang Hui feel even worse.

Looking at Xia Guiying's transfer made me feel even worse.

"Ah Ying, you're Tian Tian's mother, you don't need to be so polite with me. My kindness towards Tian Tian comes from the bottom of my heart, and I sincerely hope she's doing well. So, please don't feel guilty, and don't transfer money to me. If I'm in trouble and need money, I'll ask you for help."

As she spoke, she clicked the refund button and sent the money back.

Xia Guiying blinked her sore eyes and murmured, "Ah Hui, thank you, thank you so much for your selfless love for my daughter..."

Any words of gratitude are insignificant in the face of this maternal love that transcends blood ties.

She stopped expressing her gratitude and said, "Okay, please let us know if you need any help."

Jiang Hui noticed that Xia Guiying's voice was choked up. She was someone who was easily moved to tears, and her eyes also started to sting.

She couldn't help but wonder why Sweetie's biological mother was suddenly being so enthusiastic towards her.

Only after hearing what Xia Guiying said next did she understand.

"On the way to the temple, Ruohan told me about how you were bullied by a mistress and a domestic abuser in the past."

Xia Guiying couldn't help but blurt it out.

Jiang Hui had already let go of the past and didn't want to talk about those upsetting things anymore, but remembering Mu Tiantian's advice, she sighed, "I was so foolish and cowardly before. You have no idea how awful that mistress was..."

She began to talk at length about the past.

Mu Tiantian stared at the closed door, her heart pounding.

Their gaze returned to Qin Dongyang's face.

How should I send my biological father away?

Just as she was worrying, Qin Dongyang's phone rang.

Qin Dongyang saw that it was a customer's call and felt it wouldn't be right not to answer.

He saw that Master Wukong was still looking at the words written in the notebook, thinking that he could hear the answer after he finished the phone call.

My daughter is here to keep me company, that's enough.

He patted Mu Tiantian on the shoulder, then opened the door and went out.
