Gu Rong was being held, and she kept glancing at Cheng Xi and Ma Xuanxuan, her eyes sometimes looking at them and sometimes looking outside, signaling them to leave quickly.
Seeing her actions, Ma Xuanxuan couldn't hold back her tears and shouted at Lin Yuan, "Can't you be more accommodating? She's just a child, just a child. We're... getting old. Why not give the child a chance?"
"Ma Xuanxuan," Lin Yuan turned around and stared at Ma Xuanxuan's seat: "You've already made a mistake once. I don't want to involve anyone else. Don't say anything more. Don't see the child anymore. Go and rest."
Ma Xuanxuan stepped forward, gripping Lin Yi's arm tightly, as if she were about to roar with all her might: "Lin Yuan, we all volunteered. Only she, only she knows nothing, understands nothing. She shouldn't... she shouldn't... do you understand?"
“I know, how could I not know? But you shouldn’t be like this… You should move on and go back,” Lin Yuan pulled away from Ma Xuanxuan’s arm and left resolutely.
Ma Xuanxuan wanted to chase after her, but something seemed to be blocking her way, and she couldn't get past it at all.
"Lin Yuan, Lin Yi, stop right there! Come back here! Come back here!" Ma Xuanxuan pounded on the transparent barrier in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out.
Just like the inferno before, she wanted to save them, but no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't open the tightly locked door.
Cheng Xi, who was behind her, looked at Ma Xuanxuan, who was sitting on the ground crying, and hugged her tightly from the side: "Xuanxuan, everything back then was Gu Mo's fault, not your fault, not your fault."
Ma Xuanxuan turned around and grabbed Cheng Xi's hand: "It's my fault, it's my fault. If I hadn't listened to him and called everyone over, he wouldn't have had a chance to make a move."
I was more cautious at the time and didn't give the drugged water to Rong Bao so she could give it to everyone. That way, he wouldn't have had time to do anything.
I woke up early and didn't think of going downstairs. Instead, I went straight to the second floor. At least... at least I could save Lin Yuan and prevent Rong Bao from seeing that scene. She wouldn't... wouldn't be traumatized and go insane.
I...I have to save her, I have to save her, as long as I'm quick, as long as I'm a little faster, everything will be alright."
Listening to Ma Xuanxuan completely deny herself and blame everything on herself, Cheng Xi felt both heartache and anger.
Grabbing Ma Xuanxuan's shoulders, Cheng Xi roared, "Ma Xuanxuan, I told you, all of this is Gu Mo's fault, Gu Mo, not you. Stop thinking about it, stop getting yourself into this mess."
Moreover... we are already dead, already dead. This is just an illusion, an obsession. When Rong Bao wakes up, we should leave too. Everything we have done is in vain, useless, useless.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xuanxuan seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground instantly.
Cheng Xi held her in his arms, letting her lean against him, and the two of them held each other tightly like that.
In the villa
Lin Yuan placed Gu Rong on the bed, squatted down beside her and took off her shoes and socks, saying as she did so, "Rongbao, do you still remember what your mother told you when you were little?"
Not hearing a response, Lin Yuan looked up at Gu Rong, then smiled and lowered her head: "Mom remembers what she said before, that people's fate is all arranged by God."
No matter what happens, we at Rongbao should not dwell too much on the past. We should just look forward, move forward, stride confidently outward, and be ourselves.
Lin Yi lifted the covers, picked up Gu Rong, put her on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and kissed her forehead: "You're a big girl now, you understand many things without me having to tell you, so I won't say anything more."
Just remember, no matter what happens, Mom wants you to be okay. Forget everything from the past, live your own life, and go to sleep, baby, go to sleep.
Gu Rong struggled to get up, but her eyes slowly closed as if filled with lead. When she regained consciousness, she could only feel the intense heat of the fire and hear screams coming from below.
At this moment, her body regained its mobility.
Gu Rong quickly got out of bed and ran outside.
The fire on the first and second floors grew stronger and stronger, gradually mixing with the memories in my mind.
The butler and nanny, who had watched her grow up, were on fire and screamed as they tried to rush out, but the door was locked and they couldn't budge it.
From each of the inhabited rooms came knocking on the doors and heart-wrenching screams of agony.
Gu Rong returned to her room and turned on the water in the bathroom and sink, but they were empty; not a single drop of water came out.
At that moment, she called out to the sky: "Axi, Axi, come out, come out, please come out quickly, save them, save them."
Just like before, no matter how she called out, there was no response, and she couldn't sense anything in the space.
Looking down at Ma Xuanxuan, who was trying to save people, Gu Rong shouted, "Godmother, come up, let's go from the second floor."
No matter how much she shouted, Ma Xuanxuan just stood below and looked at her: "Rongbao, your godmother has already put the rope in your room for you. You go first, and your godmother will be right behind you."
Seeing the flames about to engulf Ma Xuanxuan, Gu Rong shouted, "...Come up, you come up first."
"Rongbao, I'm fine. You go first. Your godmother is going to rescue your godfather. She'll be here soon, very soon," Ma Xuanxuan said, passing through the flames and heading to Cheng Xi's room.
Standing on the second floor, Gu Rong stared at the door for a few moments before rushing towards Lin Yuan's room.
Then they saw Lin Yuan lying peacefully on the bed, enveloped in flames: "Mom, Mom, wake up, Mom."
Gu Rong called out as she approached the bed, but no matter how she called, the person on the bed did not move.
Just then, someone grabbed her by the neck from behind, but when she turned her head, she couldn't see anything.
But according to her memory, she knew that this person was Gu Mo, her father, the mastermind behind everything who had escaped.
"Let me go, let me go, let me go!" Gu Rong struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
At this moment, Ma Xuanxuan, who should have been downstairs, appeared in front of Gu Rong and lunged at 'Gu Mo'. Gu Rong felt the grip on her disappear and fell to the ground.
Ma Xuanxuan, as if holding something tightly, yelled at Gu Rong, "Run! Run! Run!"
Gu Rong didn't move when she heard this. Instead, she watched as Ma Xuanxuan was lifted up and about to be thrown out. Then, she lunged at the 'person' and used all her strength to drag him down the stairs with her.
Feeling the transparent figure beneath his feet, Gu endured the pain throughout his body, grabbed a piece of glass from the ground, and stabbed it repeatedly into the other's neck.
"Rong Bao".
"Rong Bao~Rong Bao"
Despite repeated calls, Gu Rong seemed not to hear, continuing her work tirelessly, as if she were never tired.
"Gu Rong".
