That man was too good at hiding things.

Despite knowing him for years, Jinglin had never truly seen through him.

With someone so secretive, Tang Tang could be taken advantage of without realizing it.

Thinking this, Jinglin sent a link from the school forum he had copied earlier.

"Take a look; our genius Chen is famous again, winning the admiration of many young women!"

At the Harris Mansion, Lilah accompanied Brenda, and from afar, they saw Tang Tang staring at her phone screen, lacking her usual bright and sunny demeanor.

Brenda felt a pang of sympathy instantly.

"Oh dear, my precious granddaughter, who's upset you?"

"It's just someone!"

Yuxi said quickly, then sheepishly looked at her grandmother.

"Grandma, it's really nothing. I just didn't understand something. Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Yuxi held Brenda's hand, soothing her with a few words.

Once Brenda was reassured, Yuxi was alone in the garden again.

She tossed her phone onto the coffee table, curled up on the rocking chair, hugging her knees.

A shadow fell over her.

It was Lilah, who had returned after escorting Brenda to her room.

Seeing her daughter's gloom, Lilah sat beside her, pulling her into an embrace.

"Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you these days," Yuxi said, resting her forehead lightly on Lilah's shoulder, feeling defeated.

Lilah chuckled softly. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Yuxi lifted her head, gazing at Lilah's beautiful profile for a long moment before speaking, "Mom, sometimes I really admire how you and Dad handle things. It seems like there's nothing you can't overcome."

Lilah joined in the laughter, gently patting her daughter's shoulder.

"What you see is the present.

Sometimes, only after going through a lot together can you truly appreciate the present moment.

You're still young. What I can tell you is to make the most of the present and avoid regrets."
