It's not about constantly showing weakness or playing the victim to gain sympathy.

You're truly pitiful if he feels sorry for you.

At first she didn't understand.

It wasn't until Gu Zhengxuan told her about Gu Zhengchi's upbringing that Ruan Xianxian broke it down and taught her how to do it...

Meanwhile, Ruan Kangri had already begun his attack. His gaze, tempered by years of war, carried a certain intimidating power as he fixed his gaze on Tian Tian.

He immediately accused her, asking, "Why did you lock your cousin in the bathroom?"

Tian Tian looked back, puzzled. Her gaze seemed to say: What nonsense are you spouting?

"Answer me!" the old man suddenly roared, his tone filled with utter disappointment.

"You think you can take revenge on your mother in such a vicious way just because Baozhu hurt her unintentionally? Have you forgotten who helped you transfer from the Northwest to the Northeast?"

Do you still have any gratitude left?

"I didn't!" Tian Tian stood up abruptly, tears welling in her eyes.

"What do you mean, 'locked her in the toilet'? I came straight home after returning from the army and have never been to the Ruan family's house. You can ask the guards in the family compound if you don't believe me. Did I go there?"

She was like a small beast defying the tiger's clutches, roaring with all her might:

"Gratitude? You forced me to go to the countryside in Baozhu's place, forced me to suffer in her place... What, you want me to thank you after you kill me and then burn incense at my grave?"

Sobbing uncontrollably, she turned her mother's face to show the burn scar to everyone.

"And you're telling me this was an accident by Baozhu? How careless could she be to accurately splash freshly cooked hot soup onto her mother's face, who is taller than her?"

Grandpa, would you like to listen to what you're saying, or perhaps try saying it again for me?
