Yi Luowa nodded, "Aunt, if you're busy, once Tong Airui comes out, I'll have him call you back, okay?"
"He's just like his dad; he definitely won't answer my calls anytime soon. The reason I called is actually because I wanted to talk to you and apologize."
Ni Lu spoke sincerely, making Yi Luowa feel a bit embarrassed. She pinched her earlobe lightly, "Aunt, elders apologizing to juniors—where would you ever hear of something like that?"
"An apology is necessary. The fact that Shiqing turned out the way she has is because your uncle and I didn't discipline her well. You've been wronged," Ni Lu paused, then continued, "Rui'er's wife, I heard that Xi Meichen brought you back. With a foster mother like her, child, you've had such a tough life. If you don't mind, consider me as your family from now on. If anything ever comes up, just tell me—I'll absolutely stand up for you."
Yi Luowa's heart warmed, and she smiled, "Thank you, Aunt."
