"Sis Zhuo, what on earth is going on? Why are you suddenly giving up Lil Yan's custody?" asked Ling Yiran.
"The odds of winning are slim, and... as you can see, I only run a food stall. I can't make a lot of money. Lil Yan will need more money in the future. If he's with me, he won’t be able to go to a good school and I have no extra money for him to attend after-school classes either. What more food and clothing expenses? I’ll only be able to give him the worst things!”
Ling Yiran hurriedly said, "I can provide Lil Yan a better life! I like Lil Yan very much. I think of him as my godson!"
"Thank you, Yiran." Zhuo Qianyun forced a smile. "You've helped enough, but... if Lil Yan didn’t have a father, I might have accepted your kindness. But since he has a father and his father can provide him with a better life, then he should be with his father."
"But Sis Zhuo, do you have the heart to do so?" asked Ling Yiran. Since becoming pregnant, she had become more aware of the kinship between a child and its mother. Besides, Sis Zhuo had raised Lil Yan for four years.
Zhuo Qianyun murmured, "I have to do it even if I don't have the heart to do so. I just want to choose the best path for Lil Yan. I hope he'll understand my efforts."
"But what you think is the best path may not be the path Lil Yan wants. Does he know he's going to live with Ye Wenming from now on?"
"I haven't told him yet. I'll hand him to Ye Wenming in three months. I plan to tell him about it then." Let these three months be her last happy moments with her son. "Yiran, don't tell Lil Yan about this, okay?"
Zhuo Qianyun's eyes were full of implorations.
Ling Yiran said, "Sis Zhuo, this is not the time to take this step. I already told Jin to find the attending doctor who performed the abortion when Kong Ziyin fell down the stairs. As long as Kong Ziyin wasn't carrying Ye Wenming's child, I can prove that you were set up!"
However, Zhuo Qianyun's expression did not change when she heard Ling Yiran’s words. "It doesn't matter whether I was set up or not."
