Moreover, I know that her family will sponsor Xiaohong until she graduates from university, which means she will continue to receive help.

Senior, would you like to think back to that time?

If you were raped, would you be willing to give birth to that child?

If you're surrounded by gossip and rumors, can you handle it?

The senior student was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Actually, my senior is also currently being subjected to rumors. I don't know who spread the word that the places where they were teaching in this rural area were dens of kidnappers.

Perhaps they were both hurt a long time ago, but they just didn't say it.

The senior didn't tell Guigui because she was afraid Guigui would be very angry if she heard it.

Unexpectedly, the tortoise thought of it first.

"I understand. I was wrong before. I was only thinking about how pitiful Xiaohong was. By the way, Hehua wants to see you. She said she needs your help with something."

The senior student could only relay the message.

"Senior, I understand. Let's leave it at that. Don't worry about them anymore. Don't contact them again except for Xiaohong."

Turtle was worried that his senior would get hurt.

“There must be many others behind them. Senior, please don’t get involved. I’m afraid you’ll believe them and pity them.”

The senior student was suddenly enlightened. Turtle was right; it really was true. She seemed to subconsciously feel that they were all quite pitiful.

We will try our best to help them, whether it's Lotus, Little Red, or the old principal.

"Senior, everyone should pay the price for their actions. Whether it's Lotus or anyone else, they should all be punished by law if they do something wrong."

If having a reason means you can be forgiven, then everyone has their own reasons.

Does having a reason justify murder and arson? Does having a reason justify violating the bottom line of the law?

That won't do.

Because of their so-called difficulties, they have hurt far too many people.

Just like that lotus flower, wasn't it taking advantage of You Ran's compassion?

She said she was not doing well, that her mother favored boys over girls, and that everything she had now was because she had suffered too much in the past.

She coaxed You Ran into buying her clothes, treating her to meals, and giving her living expenses, saying that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was supporting her. Even so, she still felt it wasn't enough and became jealous, so she took You Ran back... and put her in hell.

Such people don't deserve sympathy when they say they're suffering.

After the turtles finished speaking, they all felt very proud of themselves, thinking they were amazing for being able to spout so many profound truths.

"I don't know..." The senior student really didn't know that Lotus had done these things.

"She lied to the senior, so the senior shouldn't see her anymore."

"Okay, sure."

After being discharged from the hospital, Guigui went to see Xiaohong.

Xiao Hong now lives in an orphanage and has found a new school.

Seeing the turtle, she ran over excitedly, "Sister Turtle, are you feeling better?"

Is there anything else that's bothering you? I've been so worried about you.

"It's alright. I just wanted to come and see you. I heard that someone is sponsoring your schooling, that's really nice."

Xiao Hong smiled, looking very well-behaved. "Yes, he's my uncle. Although they didn't say it, I saw him and my mom in the car that day."

I know that Mom doesn't want to see me. Seeing me will remind her of those painful days in the past. That's good. I can't bring Mom any happiness or joy. Instead, I bring her endless pain. If that's the case, it's better if I don't appear at all.

I hope my mother can forget the past and have a fresh start.

These past few days, people have been asking me about my biological mother, and I've told them that my mother died a long time ago.

It seems like this is all I can do for my mother.

Xiao Hong knew better than anyone how much pain her mother was in.

Not to mention my mother, even my aunt must have had a very difficult time during those years, even more so than her.

"I'm already having a very bad time, but they're suffering even more than me."

Sometimes I wish I could move to a different place.

So even though my mother passed away, I'm not afraid. I will take good care of myself and live a good life from now on.

She will definitely study hard in the future and change her future.

As for my mother, I hope she can have a fresh start.

"Okay, keep it up!"

Later, Xiaohong was not adopted. With her uncle's financial support, she lived a good life and was very well-behaved, and was admitted to a good school.

She thought she would definitely be fine.

You Ran left this place and went abroad. She started a new life and sealed that memory away, never to be reopened again.

...

When the turtle arrived at the place it was visiting, it saw lotus flowers.

"Boss, do you remember me? I'm the one who believed in you."

Lotus kept saying that she was trying to make the little turtle remember her so that she could find a way to get the little turtle to save her.

"I remember, but we're not close. Why do you want to see me?"

Lotus was overjoyed to hear Turtle say he remembered.

"I want to apply for a reduced sentence. I really didn't mean to bring the girl back."

I was forced, compelled, and had no other choice.

At that time, I really wanted to help You Ran, but I couldn't.

I have no right to speak at home; even if I did, no one would listen to me.

I wanted to help my good friend, but I was ultimately unable to, and I'm really sad.

This means that she wanted to help, but couldn't.

"If it weren't for you, You Ran wouldn't have gone to that village with you back then, right?"
