Everyone in the village knew Gu Cheng’s personality. They were afraid that Gu Cheng would completely cling onto them after taking care of him for too long, so they kept urging Ji Yao and the court to have soone to take over responsibility of Gu Cheng.

Ji Yao was annoyed by the people in the village and the court and finally agreed to accept Gu Cheng’s custody.

However, no one expected that on the second day after Ji Yao took over Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng would be sent away by her, and to a childless couple at that.

Everyone could tell what Ji Yao was up to, but Ji Yao did not accept any money from that family. She only said that she had placed him in her friend’s house, so others could not do anything to Ji Yao.

Hence, the matter with the Gu family ca to an end when Gu Yong and his wife were sent to prison and Gu Cheng was sent to soone else.

Before Gu Xiao left, she went to see Ji Yao, or rather, she t her by accident.

There was no one living in the Gu family’s house anymore. Ji Yao planned to bring so of the furniture to town to sell for money.

After Gu Xiao and Gu Shi finished discussing matters regarding the film base, and she was walking out of the village with Chu An, they t Ji Yao.

If not for the fact that she was very familiar with Ji Yao, she would not have recognized her.

Ji Yao had a big belly and was wearing a cheap maternity dress. There were traces of hardships on her face, and her arrogant eyes were only left with a sense of vicissitude and despondence.

She stood in front of a large cart that was hauling goods and was instructing a few n not far away to move the things.

The mont Gu Xiao saw Ji Yao, she did not associate Ji Yao with the previous Ji Yao.

After all, in her mory, Ji Yao seed to always be the exquisite, beautiful, and doted on daughter of the Ji family.

The cost of any random dress from her wardrobe was in the six to seven digits. She had a slender figure and an excellent temperant, as if she was a young lady who had never understood the difficulties of life.

Even such a daughter of the Ji family had ended up in such a state.

Ji Yao, who was standing beside the car, seed to have sensed Gu Xiao’s gaze. She frowned and looked in Gu Xiao’s direction impatiently.

When she t Gu Xiao’s eyes, she was stunned and in disbelief for a mont.

When she realized that Gu Xiao was bright and beautiful, but she herself was so travel-worn, Ji Yao’s heart felt like it had been pierced by a needle. She suddenly turned around and stopped looking in Gu Xiao’s direction.

After Ji Yao turned around, Gu Xiao ca back to her senses.

She looked at Ji Yao, who was not far away, and felt that Ji Yao was like an originally gorgeous oil painting. Without sufficient protection, the colors had faded, and not even a trace of the past could be found.

After a while, Gu Xiao retracted her gaze and looked at Chu An beside her. “Let’s go!”

Chu An nodded and walked out of the village with Gu Xiao. However, in the end, he looked in the direction that Gu Xiao had looked in again to see Ji Yao’s back turned towards them. The corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

He turned around and tightened his grip on Gu Xiao’s hand. He did not look back again.

Gu Xiao seed to have really forgotten the matters of the Gu Family Village and the Gu Family. She would no longer be troubled by them in the future, and everything about the Gu Family was just a simple mory in the end.

Because both of them knew that their future path was smooth.

Ji Yao stood rooted to the ground, not daring to turn around to see if Gu Xiao and Chu An had left.

Just from that glance, she knew that Gu Xiao was no longer the Gu Xiao she had seen before.

When she first saw Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao was still a village child wearing clothes that were washed until they were a little faded.

But now, Gu Xiao was wearing well-tailored clothes and her hair was carefully styled. There was a trace of tenacity in her calm temperant. Just by looking at her, one could tell how dazzling she was.

The tall man lowered his eyes and spoke to her, as if his entire world could only fit one person.

mories flashed through Ji Yao’s mind, and she suddenly regretted it.

If she had not found Gu Xiao back then, had not allowed Gu Xiao to participate in that variety show, and had not targeted Gu Xiao like that… would she still be the Young Miss of the Ji family, or would she still be living peacefully with Gu Xiao in the Ji family?

Every ti she thought of this, Ji Yao felt unbearable pain.

But now that the outco had been decided, it was useless for her to think any further.

She could only live in this quagmire now and live the rest of her life in a daze..
