Jinnan sat across from her, also engrossed in reading, observing how Xia Zhi resembled her beautiful mother-in-law by about seventy to eighty percent.

"It would have been so much better if she hadn't married my dad, then she might not have died so young," she said sadly.
Jinnan asked, "Do you still keep in touch with your maternal grandparents?"
