After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

After hearing what Lin Xingran said, even Song Siwen was stunned.

Because she only knew that Lin Xingran had a younger sister, but she didn't know that she and her sister did not grow up together.

Fortunately, Liu Shutong was so surprised that she didn't notice anything unusual about Song Siwen.

However, her focus is slightly different from Lin Xingran's.

"Then don't you feel sorry for being separated from your sister?"

Lin Xingran laughed: "When my mother divorced, I was probably about the same age as Xiaoyu, so I didn't know these things... But I know that my mother loved me and my sister very much."

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "Xiao Yu".

"Why didn't she fight you both over then?"

"According to my mother, she and my father did not break up because of a lack of love. Each of us has a child, which is also... fair to my father."

"Then why are they..."

Liu Shutong tried hard not to sound gossipy.

"My mother was a promising diplomat who was required to be stationed abroad for five years. But my father was unwilling to sacrifice his career at home for my mother."

Song Siwen suddenly realized: "No wonder your English is so good! It turns out..."

Lin Xingran shook his head: "No, I was too young at that time. I didn't go abroad with my mother, but stayed in China... So, I was raised by my grandparents."

"Then..." Liu Shutong said hesitantly, "Did you... resent your mother when you were a child?"

"Resentment?" Lin Xingran was a little surprised. "How could that be! What I looked forward to most at that time was my mother coming back to see me every year. She would bring me many new and interesting gifts! I even took a plane to visit her abroad by myself. Along the way, the flight attendants took good care of me and it was also very fun."

Her words made Liu Shutong visibly relax.

"By the way, you said you came to see me two days ago because of your sister... Then, what was it about?"

"Actually, it's my sister. She's in her second year of high school now, studying liberal arts. She hopes to study English in the future, but my dad seems to be very opposed to this—"

She didn't need to say it, the other two understood that her father was probably worried that his daughter would be like his ex-wife, and fly away with the wings of foreign languages.

"But, can't you just not tell your dad when you apply for admission?"

Song Siwen is as straightforward as ever.

This answer is indeed correct, but it doesn't work in Lin Xingran's family.

"After the divorce, my dad remarried. Not long after, my aunt gave birth to a younger brother. Although she mentioned this to us lightly when she grew up, I know that those days were not easy. So... I can understand that she didn't want to go against my dad's wishes."

"Why is your dad like this?" After saying that, Song Siwen covered his mouth, knowing that he had said something wrong, "Sorry, I..."

Lin Xingran waved his hand: "It's okay, I think so too. How does that saying go - when the biological father remarries, it's like having a stepfather. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad at the time, and I was still a child, so I didn't know anything about it, and Xiaoyue had to endure so much alone. But since she came to me this time... I really want to help her."

These words obviously touched Liu Shutong.

Because she is in the same position that Lin Xingran’s mother was in the past—but her relationship has broken down and she has no feelings left.

Thinking about her child's future...some of the things that were originally hesitant began to change slowly...

She didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Xingran and Song Siwen looked at each other and remained silent. They thought that this incident might have touched her as she was in the process of getting a divorce and fighting for custody.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Shutong spoke: "Xingran...can you let me talk to your sister?"

"what?"

They obviously didn't expect things to progress to this point so quickly.

Seeing Lin Xingran at a loss, Liu Shutong patiently explained: "Actually, I not only want to help your sister, but also hope that your sister... can help me."

"Help you, teacher? She's just a sophomore..."

"Ok, I know."

Liu Shutong nodded, avoided the complicated marriage issues, and went straight to the point.

"In fact, I am currently in the process of divorcing my ex-husband in order to obtain custody of my child. However, because I am from another city, my child has always been in the care of my ex-husband's family...Recently, he was on a business trip and his mother was ill, so I took the child over."

At this point, she sighed: "But when I really took over, I found that I couldn't balance work and childcare. Some of my friends also advised me that in my current state, even if I got custody, I might not be able to take good care of the child..."

So, she has been thinking about it these days. Since Chen Bo is the biological father of the children, maybe she doesn't need to be so obsessed with custody and make herself so exhausted.

Today, Lin Xingran's words suddenly woke her up.

Because if Lin Xingran's parents still had feelings for each other when they separated, her father's remarriage after the divorce would inevitably hurt his daughter's feelings. What about Chen Bo?

A man who has cheated on his wife before getting divorced, and who even has secret meetings with his mistress without fear of the children being at home, will he treat his children well after the divorce?

The answer doesn't require much thought.

For her, fighting the lawsuit was exhausting, and balancing work and children was hard, but since she brought the children into this world, she shouldn't let them pay for her past mistakes...

So, she wanted to talk to the real "victim" - Lin Xingran's sister.

The child who has experienced all this should be able to solve her confusion and help her find direction better than Lin Xingran in front of her.

"Of course...if it will hurt your sister, then forget it."

She spoke with such sincerity and without any pretense that Lin Xingran couldn't refuse.

"Okay... I'll go back and ask my sister."

This conversation contained so much information that Song Siwen had a lot to ask. However, as they walked side by side on the road, she couldn't say a word.

Instead, Lin Xingran saw through her thoughts.

"You have a lot to ask me?"

"Just...what you said today, is it true?"

Lin Xingran thought for a moment and said, "About 80 percent."

"And what about the remaining 20 percent?"

"When my father remarried, my mother went abroad, and my sister and I were still young, what kind of mood did my sister go through... I don't know."

It was because she thought of her sister that she finally agreed when Jiang Baige asked her to do this.

Although she knew that there were many children like her sister in the world.

But if she could help one, she would.

Not to mention……

According to what Yao Jing heard from his sister, Xiaoyu's biological father would not only become her "stepfather", but might also kill her...

How can you just stand by and watch someone die?

Song Siwen asked again: "Then, will you tell your sister about us helping Teacher Liu?"
