Chapter 53 The Song She Sang

He Jinhong always had a certain fondness for this younger brother.

His birth mother was his father's first wife, who died in childbirth after having him. Not long after, his mother's younger sister—that is, his aunt—married his father and raised him as if he were her own son. It wasn't until he was in kindergarten that his aunt and father decided to have more children, giving birth to his two younger siblings, his third brother and fourth sister.

He was never meant to know these family secrets. However, during middle school, in a bout of rebellion that brought tears to his mother's eyes, his father, in a rare moment of anger, let the truth slip out during a heated scolding.

He was grateful for his aunt's sacrifices, no—she was his mother.
