He said slowly, "She is your family, not your enemy!"
“I was wrong before. I didn’t know the truth. I told you that after the storm comes the calm, but it turns out the Zhao family is not your family, and the Zhao family members are not your family. They are a dark cloud that you can’t get rid of no matter how much you give. Now…”
"Your true family has come to find you. They are your blood relatives, the ones you can have without any effort, without having to be careful, patient, or scheming, just like the clouds clearing and the moon shining brightly."
"Uncle knows that you have suffered in the Zhao family for eighteen years and that you have resentment in your heart."
"Uncle knows better that from the moment you lost your temper with her, from the moment you revealed your true nature in front of them, you had already let go of the past, accepted them, and were ready to embrace a new life."
"Once you have achieved what you seek, you should know when to stop."
"Xuan Cao, you are so smart and know how to avoid harm and seek benefit. You should know that if you continue to be so awkward, it will be counterproductive and will harm others without benefiting yourself."
Their eyes met.
Daylily: "!!!"
She glared angrily at Gu Guanhai.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Uncle Gu, you're being unfair!"
She finally couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at Yu Mingxiang, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You're biased towards her!"
These words were spoken.
Yu Mingxiang looked embarrassed.
Gu Guanhai's lips twitched involuntarily.
"I……"
He stammered, "What do you mean?!"
Don't you have one?
Xuancao sneered, "Yes! You're right. I can see that they care about me, but they're taking advantage of that care to vent their frustrations. And what about you?"
What are you doing now?
"You take advantage of knowing me so well to deliberately expose me. What exactly are you trying to do? Can you honestly say you don't have ulterior motives?"
As she spoke, Xuancao turned to look at Yu Mingxiang and said in a deep voice, "I don't need him to say the rest for me; I'll say it myself."
"I first met Uncle Gu when I was ten years old. Aunt Niu saw that I had no clothes to wear, so she gave me a piece of her daughter's old clothes. I was very grateful to her, so after I finished my chores at home, I went to help her family cut pig feed."
"But when I came back, Zhao Tiezhu and Li Guihua saw me. They said I was siding with outsiders, and they beat me up. At that time..."
“I really hate them! I hate that they gave birth to a child but didn’t raise him, I hate that they favored Zhao Tengfei, I hate that they beat me so badly that I almost cut their throats with a sickle used for cutting pig feed.”
"It was Uncle Gu who stole my sickle and beat up Zhao Tiezhu."
"I met Uncle Gu again when I was eleven years old. I was working like a slave for the Zhao family, but they wanted to sell me to someone else as a child bride. I went up the mountain to gather pokeweed roots, intending to die with them, but..."
"Uncle Gu stole my pokeweed root..."
“When I was thirteen, I ran into Uncle Gu again. Uncle Gu saw Zhao Tiezhu touching my face, snatched the hammer from my hand, and beat him up.”
"..."
"I lived cautiously in the Zhao family for eighteen years. I always thought they were my family, and I thought they didn't like me because I wasn't good enough."
"I once had high hopes for them and put in all my efforts, just to get them to look at me more and love me a little more, but I was repeatedly brought back to reality..."
"When I was starving and cold, I learned to play the victim in front of my neighbors."
"After seeing through Zhao Tiezhu's bad intentions, I learned to keep my head down."
"After knowing they would never love me, I learned to be calculating."
"..."
“I have had thoughts of killing people, more than once.”
"I watched helplessly as someone fell into an icy river right in front of me, and then I schemed to get a marriage contract."
“I’m used to playing the victim in front of strangers, and I’m used to using weakness and tears to achieve my goals. I’ve fooled everyone except Uncle Gu.”
"..."
