Lan Xinyu could see her grandfather's emotions and knew how hard it was for him to admit defeat. She knew better than anyone how much her grandfather had done for their family all these years. It was he who had worked hard all this time without a single complaint and supported the family all by himself. He was like a giant tree that protected the descendants of the Lan family from the wind and rain. Seeing the white hair on her grandfather's head and the wrinkles on his face, Lan Xinyu felt her heart clench. Determination fired up in her.
"Grandfather, for the Lan family, I will not give up," Lan Xinyu called out bravely. She remembered the words Ling Chuxi had once said: "Today, I am fighting for the Ling family. Perhaps, tomorrow you would have to fight for your Lan family. Don't retreat, don't give up. Remember!"
Lan Xinyu smiled faintly at Ling Chuxi, who nodded encouragingly.
