Chapter 169: Childhood Memories

When Tang Yan was a child, his world consisted only of his mother, who toiled away, working multiple jobs to raise him, ensuring he grew up and received an education.

Back then, Tang Yan was very naive and had once asked that same question: other kids had fathers, so why didn't he?

At that time, He Jingxia just smiled gently, stroked his head softly, and told him that his father had gone to a faraway place and that having his mother with him was enough.

Eventually, He Jingxia's body couldn't take it anymore, worn out from overwork and chronic insomnia, she developed liver cancer. When she learned of her diagnosis, she wept inconsolably.

She hadn't finished raising Tang Yan and was about to leave this world; how was he supposed to live on his own?

A child who hadn't yet come of age, how was he to survive safely?

After much consideration, He Jingxia had no choice but to contact Tang Jingli proactively, begging him to take Tang Yan away and give him a chance at life.
