Tears welled up again as he wiped one layer away, and Zhou Yicheng choked out, "This unfilial girl, she's ripping out my heart!"

Ning Ruoruo finally understood why her parents had no contact with relatives on either side.

"Then you haven't married a new wife or had any new children?"

Ning Ruoruo suddenly asked a question, and Zhou Yicheng paused before vaguely replying, "You have a new maternal grandmother now."

Oh, so he has a wife but no children. No wonder he came looking for me.

Zhou Yicheng patted Ning Ruoruo's hand, "Ruoruo, you are my bloodline, yet you have such a difficult life. Now that Grandpa is here, don't be afraid anymore. Things will be better from now on."

Ning Ruoruo nodded.

"During your years in Lijiapo, has anyone bullied you?"

Zhou Yicheng had actually investigated Ning Yunzhong, Wang Zhu and Ning Ruoruo's lives over the years, but some parts were vague and unclear.

Ning Ruoruo has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. "The aunts, uncles, and elders of Lijiapo were all quite good to our family. My parents died because they didn't have enough to eat and were malnourished."

Zhou Yicheng frowned. "Did the village officials withhold your rations?"

Ning Ruoruo shook her head, "Back then, the whole village was starving, and many people died."

Zhou Yicheng remained silent.

"There were two hooligans in the village, one named Niu Guang and the other named Liu Baobao, who tried to rape me."

Ning Ruoruo said it very calmly, but Zhou Yicheng's eyes widened in shock. How come no one told him about such a big thing!
