"Xiao Ai, nine years ago, our family was ruined. Your mother committed suicide by jumping off a building. You were left alone for so many years. You suffered a lot. All of this was caused by Chu Tianming... He was the one who broke up our family.
"Home," Gu Xin's tone was filled with hatred, "He must pay the price for the crimes he committed!"
…
Chu Tianming has paid the price, and Chu Tianming will never be able to stand up again...
"Xiao Ai, you are still my father's good daughter. You were raised by my father..."
"When you stunned me, you just wanted me to become an indispensable pawn in your layout, right?"
Gu Xiaoai turned stiffly and looked at Gu Xin expressionlessly, "I'm not an idiot. I can tell whether you treat me as your daughter or...as a pawn for revenge."
…
Gu Xin was startled by Gu Xiaoai's somewhat indifferent voice, and then said, "This is all Chu Tianming's fault... I have been in prison for nine years, and my only belief in surviving is revenge."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoai still had no reaction, Gu Xin stood up and looked at her condescendingly, and said with some excitement, "Xiaoai, you can't blame me. I was betrayed by my good brother and cheated on my wife. I won't take revenge if I don't take revenge."
He is an upright man."
Gu Xiaoai looked at Gu Xin quietly, his intense reaction reflected in his almond-shaped eyes.
After a long time, Gu Xiaoai said, "Then do you know what my belief is that has sustained me for the past nine years?"
Gu Xin looked at her in astonishment.
Gu Xiaoai stood up from the tomb, her legs were numb and she couldn't feel anything. She said every word without emotion, "I really want to have another family."
…
Gu Xin looked at her in shock, watching her turn around and walk forward, one step at a time, her body was very stiff.
I really want to have another home...
When Li Juefeng bullied her the most, she still held on because she knew her father would be released from prison...
She can't save her mother without her, but she still has a father, and she still has a family.
Now, it's gone.
Everything...is gone.
Gu Xin's eyes suddenly filled with tears as he watched Gu Xiaoai walk down the mountain with difficulty step by step.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoai lost her footing and fell down, rolling down the mountain...
"Xiao Ai!"
Gu Xin was shocked and ran away in a hurry.
Gu Xiaoai rolled all the way down the mountain, and stopped when her legs tripped over a stone. Her numb body began to regain consciousness, and pain spread from her limbs...
