Left with no other choice, Tang Qingyun had to take Wu Xiaowen and Tang Haocheng back to Wancheng first. Grandpa and Grandma had a point:
Everyone knew the child had been returned to the Tang family, and the bonds of blood could not be broken. Xiao Man might be resentful now, but she would come to understand one day. When she was a little older, she would realize the importance of family. Besides, even if she went home with them, she wouldn't be living with her parents. She would be at school, living in a dormitory. She was a top student, a grade-skipper the school was heavily invested in. Since she couldn't bear to leave Ping County First Middle School, they might as well let her stay there for now. Wancheng wasn't too far from Ping County, so Tang Qingyun could visit her frequently when he had time. They could interact, communicate, and slowly grow familiar with one another. Everything would work out.
