Gu Linping first saved him in a fire.
At that time, she was just a kitchen helper in Chinatown, and he was only ten years old. That day, a terrorist attack occurred.
He was trapped in a building that had collapsed due to artillery fire; the fire was so high that even the firefighters dared not enter.
She rushed in wearing only a wet cloth and carried him out of the fire. Despite her frail appearance, she seemed to possess boundless strength.
After that incident, to thank her, her father got her a legal identity so she no longer had to hide and fear being investigated, and even got her a job at the Li family.
Because of this life-saving grace, her father naturally did not treat her as an ordinary maid and was always quite polite to her.
Gu Linping was a very gentle and docile woman, quiet and reserved, and not very close to others. However, she was very kind to him. His mother died when he was very young, and he developed a dependence on Gu Linping, who had saved him, as if she were his mother.
The second time she saved him was when he was kidnapped; she risked her life to rush towards the gunman who had fired the shot.
She was seriously injured that time and almost lost her life.
It was probably after that that his father told him that he wanted to find him a mother and asked him if he was willing.
He said he wanted a mother like Aunt Gu, and later she really did become his mother.
Li Yinan looked at Ni Sitian's face and said, "You should be able to tell that Yiqing looks a bit like you, right? She was found by Aunt Gu and her father when they were doing charity work at the orphanage. Aunt Gu wanted to adopt her. Yiqing was five years old at that time, the same age she was when she left you."
Ni Sitian gave a sarcastic smirk. Gu Linping was so cruel to her, yet so kind to a child with whom she had no blood relation. She hated that Gu Linping had her blood flowing in her veins! Gu Linping went to save a boy trapped in a fire, but ended up burning her own daughter to death!
“I think Aunt Gu must be regretting what she did back then all the time. She probably saved me out of regret for that incident.” Li Yinan was even more grateful to Gu Linping than to his mother, because his mother gave him one life, while Gu Linping gave him two. He didn’t want to see Gu Linping hated by Ni Sitian.
"Heh, don't you think that's ridiculous? I'd rather I'd never had this mother! Do you know how long it took me to overcome my fear of fire!" Ni Sitian couldn't cook before, not because He Cuiyun was kind to her and wouldn't let her into the kitchen, but because she was afraid of fire and simply couldn't cook. He Cuiyun always thought she was faking it and forced her into the kitchen.
Later, Zhi Lan sought various treatments and finally overcame her fear of fire after she turned eighteen.
Li Yinan looked at Ni Sitian and knew how much Gu Linping had hurt her. It couldn't be resolved in just a few words, so he changed the subject and said, "The Arno you met before, he's your younger brother. He's the son of my dad and Aunt Gu."
Ni Sitian laughed, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. That woman was really capable, managing to produce half-brothers for her all at once.
"That's roughly how things are with the Li family. You should rest well. No matter what you want to do, you need to be in good health to do it." Li Yinan regarded Gu Linping as his mother, so he naturally treated Ni Sitian as his younger sister. He also hoped that she would be well.
“I want to go back,” Ni Sitian said in a hoarse voice.
She felt she should go back and find out what was going on, and she wanted to see her son.
