"You've all grown up and have your own ideas. This old man can't control you anymore." The old man slowly closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to look at her anymore.

"Grandpa, I was wrong, please don't send me away. I really know I was wrong." Gu Yanhe was terrified and quickly stood up from her chair, kneeling down in front of the old man with a thud.

The old man seemed not to see the person on the ground, and stood up from the chair on his own, slowly walking out the door.

Gu Yanliu watched the old man's retreating figure, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

I never imagined my sister would become this kind of person.

Gu Yanbai merely glanced at her indifferently before looking away.

He said to Su Nianxue, "Come on, go get some sleep. You must be tired."

Su Nianxue nodded, "Okay, let's go together!"

The two walked hand in hand into the room, without glancing at the person on the ground.

"Yanbai, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you. I'm heartless. Please don't hold it against me."

Gu Yanbai paused for a moment, his eyes full of mockery.

"Grandpa is right, you shouldn't come back anymore."

The most important thing is to live your own life well.

I'll distance myself from you from now on, lest I tarnish your...good reputation!

He didn't turn around; the couple went straight into the house.

Then, right in front of her, he slammed the door shut.

The room fell silent, leaving Gu Yanhe kneeling alone inside.

After a long while, she covered her face and burst into tears.

From now on, she truly has no family to rely on.

…………

"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up today." Early in the morning, Gu Yanbai took Su Nianxue out the door.
