Chunli had thought that on the day the truth came out, she would ask her father if he wanted to come with her.
But when she saw that Fu Yuan felt only guilt and self-blame after learning the truth, and nothing else, she knew that there was no need to ask that question anymore.
For Fu Yuan, the Martial Arts Alliance is his home, and the people who have always been by his side are his eldest disciple and his adopted daughter Yao Na. They are his family and relatives, while Chun Li is a daughter who has been lost for a year.
He's used to it.
Chunli looked at Fu Yuan, unsure of how she felt. Did she hate him? Not really.
Her own biological father gave her life and more than 20 years of fatherly love; she had no right to hate him.
But when she saw that he wasn't angry about the injustice he had suffered, her heart finally turned cold.
She hadn't forgotten how Fu Yuan had angrily slapped her and kicked her out of the base when Yao Na falsely accused her of abusing Yao Na.
How ridiculous! Yao Na felt like an outsider in the Fu family. Neither Fu Yuan nor anyone else treated her like a real family member. But when she was wronged, Fu Yuan protected her and Geng Lang protected her too.
When they felt wronged, neither Fu Yuan nor Geng Lang felt anything but guilt.
Ultimately, who is the child who is not loved?
Chunli chuckled self-deprecatingly, reached for her suitcase, packed up the projector on the table, and slowly walked out.
Fu Yuan grabbed her, his eyes, already slightly cloudy, filled with guilt as he looked at her and said, "Lili, Dad is sorry, you..."
“Dad,” Chunli interrupted him, “I told you on my first day back that I was only here to seek justice for myself, and I would leave after I got my justice. You don’t need to feel guilty; you will always be my dad, but…”
Chunli took a deep breath, suppressing her reddening eyes, and said, "Just come find me again if you're not doing well in the future."
She had made her meaning very clear. Looking at Chunli's reddened eyes, Fu Yuan wanted to say something, to explain something, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one.
"That's all for now." Chun-Li smiled at him. "I'm leaving."
Fu Yuan dejectedly let go, and just as Chunli was about to leave, Geng Lang, who seemed to be petrified, suddenly moved.
He turned around, looked at Chun-Li, and said, "Leave the projection behind."
Chunli didn't want to get too involved with him, so she immediately threw the projector at him.
Geng Lang reached out and took it, glanced at the projector in his hand, looked up at Chao Chunli, and slowly uttered three words: "I'm sorry."
Chunli didn't generously say it was okay. Nearly ten years of her youth couldn't be forgiven with just an apology. She had been so happy by his words and actions that she couldn't sleep all night, and she had also been heartbroken and suffered from insomnia all night because of him.
He occupied a large part of her nearly twenty-seven years of life, but she still has several more twenty-seven years and many more decades to go.
Chunli thought Chi Xia was right. The people who can hurt you are the ones you care about. When you stop caring, everything they do is just a joke!
He influenced her aesthetic sense, but now that she has completely let go of it, Chunli sees Liu Daniu's憨憨 (simple and honest) manner of trying to please her.
Chunli smiled and walked towards the door.
After walking only a few steps outside, Liu Daniu encountered Chi Xia and the others who were rushing back. He darted forward and looked Chunli up and down with a worried expression. Seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That bastard didn't bully you, did he?"
