"Chuxia did the right thing," said Zhao Yulan as she hugged her daughter. "Having a sensible daughter like you, your father and I consider our lives worthwhile.
You don't know, the biggest worry your dad and I used to have was that you only thought about yourself. Now it seems, we worried for nothing."
It wasn't that you worried for nothing, it was that I changed... Chuxia thought to herself, but of course, she dared not say this out loud. Instead, she put on a sincere face and said, "Dad, Mom, I was immature before and caused you concern."
Zhao Yulan replied, "Worrying when you were young so we could rest easy when you're older is much better than having it the other way around."
"Mom, are you thinking about Zhong Hongying's situation again?" Chuxia chuckled. "Did you and dad used to be really envious of Aunt Zhong for having such a capable daughter?"
"Not at all!" The couple said in unison.
