After hearing this, the turtle was a little confused, but quickly understood.

The turtle's mother didn't say anything mean at the time and stayed in the cave. Later, her family came to see the turtle.

"Is her mother alright?" the senior student asked quickly, sounding a little anxious.

That woman who refused to believe Xiao Hong.

"That's good. I heard that after being rescued, they went to the hospital for a check-up, and they can go home after being discharged."

Her family felt sorry for her and didn't want to bring up what happened back then.

She was tricked by her best friend.

That is, Xiaohong's aunt.

That girl named You Ran truly hated it.

She was deceived by her best friend, who said he would take her on a trip to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where birds sing and flowers bloom.

You Ran and Xiao Hong's aunt, He Hua, are good friends. They met in college and are best friends.

You Ran was very kind to He Hua, often giving her gifts while also being considerate of her feelings.

You Ran thought they were really good best friends.

But they were tricked into going back.

Lotus was deceiving others; she wasn't actually trying to trick people into going back for Xiao Hong's sake. She first deceived You Ran, and then she deceived others as well.

You Ran's family searched for her for many years, but still found nothing.

The only reason was that all the information about the lotus flower was false. Although they found the county, they couldn't find any other information, and the matter was eventually dropped.

When You Ran's family learned of her situation, they quickly brought her back. Seeing the lifelessness in her eyes, they were heartbroken and immediately took her to the hospital.

They told You Ran, "No matter what happened, it's all in the past. We're all waiting for you to come back."

Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. Once you're better, let's leave this place and start over.

Youran's parents cried uncontrollably, and her brother was also in unbearable grief.

The girl they pampered since childhood is now like a walking corpse.

That lively and cheerful girl's eyes had lost all their light. They wanted to make those people pay the price, to make them suffer a fate worse than death! A fate worse than death!

They won't let those people go, they absolutely won't let them go!

Not long after, they received a call from their senior.

"Excuse me, are you Youran's family? I am Xiaohong's teacher."

Upon hearing the name Xiao Hong, You Ran went berserk, grabbing the phone like a madwoman. "I don't know her, I don't know her, get lost! I don't know her!"

Seeing You Ran's crazy behavior, they quickly asked me what was wrong with her.

You Ran then told them.

"At that time, I really believed in Hehua. I felt sorry for her because she came from a small place and for her mother's preference for boys over girls."

She said that when she took me out to play, I agreed because I saw the pleading look in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, after I arrived, they detained me and made me marry her brother.

I begged her, I knelt down and begged her, I begged her to bring me back, as long as we came back, everything would be alright.

She just watched me get bullied.

I ran away, and she chased after me.

My tragedy is their family.

Later, when I gave birth to Xiaohong, she told me to behave properly, and if I didn't, she would lock me up.

I don't accept it! I don't accept this trashy child! I refuse to accept him!

I don't want that child, I don't want it, I don't want it!

"I don't want to!"

That was the source of her suffering, that was the place of her sins.

That was a place she wanted to forget forever!

She doesn't want to!

That wasn't the child she wanted; that wasn't the child she wanted to have!

She could never forget those days in hell; now, her body was on its last legs, all because of that time…

She doesn't want this child, she doesn't want it!

Seeing this child reminds her of everything from the past, of that disgusting man. She doesn't want it, she doesn't want it, she doesn't want it!

She doesn't want to!

"Okay, no."

As You Ran's family, they naturally respected You Ran's opinion. Since You Ran didn't want it, then she didn't want it.

They told the senior student that their family would not take care of the child.

At that moment, the light in Xiaohong's eyes disappeared, and she revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, "It's okay, I can take care of myself."

Xiao Hong turned around, tears streaming down her face.

It seems she still doesn't have a mother.

But it's okay. Knowing that she's still alive and that she'll be alright is enough.

...

"Back then, when I called them, they said they didn't want Xiaohong and wouldn't let me call them again. Guigui, are you able to get in touch with them?"

Seeing her senior's worried expression, Guigui could understand. Xiaohong was truly a good child—obedient, sensible, and attentive in class. She wanted to change her future through learning.

"Senior, I can't contact her."

Gui Gui looked at her senior very seriously. "We all know that Xiao Hong is a good girl. I know you hope that Xiao Hong can have a family. But senior, for You Ran, she was betrayed by her best friend and taken to such a place where she suffered all kinds of torment. That child is not what she wants. She wants to forget and wants to start over. That's not wrong."

Those were days that everyone wants to forget.

But there were always people reminding them.

Some people have family members to protect them, while others are always bothered by people who want to interview them and gain more attention through them.

This behavior is truly disgusting.

"Everyone has their own life. We can't decide that Xiaohong is in pain and make others keep reliving that pain."
