Gu Yang smiled and said, "I'm glad that you are willing to face the world soberly."

The girl's smile was warm and pure, like the sun shining on the first snow in winter.

Duran seemed to be infected by her smile. His eyes fell on his old father, mother and the man, and warmth gradually appeared in his eyes: "You are right. There are people waiting for me to go home."

Gu Yang followed her line of sight and took another look at the middle-aged man.

She heard Xiao Yize and Ji Linbai talk about Du Lan's family.

He is not Duran's brother, but Li Hang, Duran's childhood sweetheart and fiancé whom she was planning to marry.

Both elders were teachers. Duran was their only daughter. She had been a good student since childhood and had only graduated from college two years before the accident.

Her life and future had just begun, and she should have a happy family.

After she disappeared, many people said that she ran away with another man, but Li Hang didn't believe it and kept looking for her. Later, when the couple's health was poor, he was also taking care of them.

He has not married yet. The two elders also regard him as their own son.

Li Hang had always thought that he would never see Du Lan again in this life, and was ready to take care of his parents in her place. Unexpectedly, halfway through his life, he would get what he wanted.

Duran didn't expect that after so many years, Li Hang was still waiting for her.

When he learned about her shameful past, there was no disgust or nausea in his eyes, only heartache and hatred.

"We'll go get the certificate when Xiaolan is discharged from the hospital." Li Hang said to Gu Yang and Ji Linbai, "If the doctor is free, you're welcome to come to our house for a drink."

Gu Yang and Ji Lin smiled politely, "Congratulations."

Gu Yang looked at the affectionate scene of the family, sighed helplessly in his heart, and had to break the atmosphere: "Sun Xi was discharged from the hospital today. You are relatives by law and blood, let me tell you something."

The family was visibly stunned.

Sun Xi is Du Lan and Sun Jianmin's youngest son, and he is also being treated in this hospital, which they certainly know.

After all, the child was not born with Duran's consent, and it carried the evil blood of the other half.

Some even witnessed Sun Jianmin's evil deeds and Duran's tragic condition, but remained indifferent, and even helped to cover up the crimes.

Although it cannot be generalized, their existence represents the past that Duran cannot bear to look back on, and it is a scar that cannot be erased.

Gu Yang felt it necessary to ask: "He will be sent to an orphanage soon, do you want to go and see him?"

Li Hang looked at Du Lan, "Xiao Lan, I went to see Xiao Xi. He is different from them. He is a good kid. Should we take him back with us?"

He was willing to take in Duran's children.

Du Lan pursed his lips and shook his head at Gu Yang: "No, we won't see each other again in the future. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

Gu Yang nodded and said nothing more.

Duran looked at Gu Yang with some surprise. She knew that Gu Yang liked Sun Xi's child very much. "I thought you would persuade me to take him home."

After all, it was her own child, and it was only natural for a mother to raise her own child. Abandoning her own child was so selfish and should be condemned.

"You didn't have a choice at the beginning, so now I respect your choice." Gu Yang smiled slightly.

Duran's eyes moved slightly, and his voice choked: "Thank you."

Good night~
