Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: She’s Still Just a Child

"My poor Xingxing, born into such an environment, she never received much affection. And now, only a few months after returning, such a thing has happened, how can us old folks bear it?"

Tang Mother looked at the photo of Xingxing on the gravestone, unable to speak through her tears.

Tang Father seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his hair had turned much whiter. During this period, although their daughter was not by their side, having Xingxing with them made them very happy. It was the happiest month they had experienced in five years, and they never expected such a thing would happen.

Shen Mianmian knew that no amount of comfort would help in this situation, so she remained silent, just quietly placing the flowers she brought in front of Xingxing’s gravestone, praying in her heart that God would treat this poor little girl kindly.

The group stood in front of the gravestone for over an hour before they all left the cemetery together.

On the way back, Tang Mother and Tang Father’s emotions had stabilized a bit, and only then did Shen Mianmian and He Nan begin to ask about the details of Xingxing’s car accident.

Tang Mother said in between sobs, "We were on our way to pick her up from school and were happily walking by the roadside when Xingxing suddenly saw a woman. She thought it was Xiaoling, so she excitedly ran over to find her. It all happened so suddenly that we didn’t have time to grab her."

As she spoke of these things, Tang Mother’s words were full of regret.

Shen Mianmian pursed her lips; everyone understood that Xingxing must have missed her mother terribly, and that’s why she got so excited seeing a woman who looked like Tang Ling.

If Tang Ling knew about this, who knows what she would feel.

After sending the couple home, on their way back, Yang Xiaoxi finally couldn’t hold back her thoughts, "Does Tang Ling have a heart of iron? Leaving her child behind while living elsewhere, Xingxing wouldn’t have had the accident if she hadn’t missed her mother so much."

Although it was Xingxing who had the accident, as a mother, Tang Ling’s mood must also be terrible, and it’s not something Tang Ling would have wished for, but Yang Xiaoxi always felt that if Tang Ling hadn’t been so heartless, Xingxing wouldn’t have ended up in an accident.

Shen Mianmian sighed, "Perhaps Tang Ling still can’t accept Xingxing."

Having a child under such circumstances, it’s understandable if she can’t love the child. But even stepping back ten thousand steps, this has nothing to do with Xingxing. Xingxing is so obedient; she could have healed some of the scars in her heart, it’s just a pity that Tang Ling simply cannot accept Xingxing.

"Xingxing isn’t at fault, right? She’s just a child," said Yang Xiaoxi.

Cheng Feiyang comforted her, "Alright, don’t get too agitated. The child is gone, discussing it now is too late. We all know that Xingxing is a poor child, but talking about it now when she’s gone is pointless."

"I just feel that Tang Ling is too heartless, the child had an accident, and she didn’t even come back to see her," Yang Xiaoxi said.

"Maybe she doesn’t know yet!" Shen Mianmian guessed.

No one knew Tang Ling’s whereabouts; if Tang Ling really went away to clear her mind and was not in Beijing, it would be normal for her not to know.

The silent He Nan finally spoke, "She should already know."

"Why do you say that?"

Shen Mianmian was a bit puzzled.

Cheng Feiyang and Yang Xiaoxi also looked towards him, He Nan said, "If the Tang Family didn’t know Tang Ling’s whereabouts, they would have inquired with us, but they haven’t. There’s only one possibility, that they are in contact with Tang Ling."

Since there is contact, they would certainly notify Tang Ling the moment the child had an accident.
