"So? This is your reason for laying a hand on my father? Do you not find it disgusting? I still do. I used to believe that at the very least, you’d never betray your promises. But now, what exactly are you doing?"
Ji Yu genuinely thought that soone like him deserved to die.
"Before, I never thought anyone truly deserved death. But what you’ve done has been such an eye-opener. If soone like you doesn’t die, it would be unfair to so many others."
She suddenly found that she no longer regretted what had happened before.
"Yu, you can’t say that. Even if everyone else wishes for my death, you can’t think this way. Everything I’ve done has been for you. I’ve never betrayed you—it’s you who betrayed the bond between us."
Hearing this, Ji Yu could only laugh.
"Today is my father’s funeral, so I don’t want to say anything too harsh. I don’t want him to see like this. You’d better stop causing trouble here."
Ji Yu didn’t want to argue further; all she wanted was to get him out of her sight as quickly as possible.
Looking at Ji Yu like this, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but feel bitter in his heart. All he wanted was for Ji Yu to stay by his side. Who could’ve expected things to end up like this?
"Yu, don’t feel this way. I can leave, but please don’t just give up on like that. I can give you a reasonable explanation. Besides, I don’t think this issue is my fault. I’ll find the real culprit."
The more he thought about it, the more sothing seed off. Given his level of skill, how could he have made such a basic mistake?
"I love you, which is why I can’t stand to see you hurt. But I also hope you’ll never say that, back then, you genuinely wanted dead."
He was terrified of that mory. For him, Ji Yu was the only spark of happiness in that dark ti.
But now, that spark of happiness wanted to leave him.
"Jiang Huai, do you honestly think you’re worthy?" Ji Yu’s voice showed no hesitation, as it was clearly his own fault.
"Yu..."
"Get out. I don’t want to see you today, and I won’t waste ti arguing with you. I don’t care what actually happened—I only know that you are absolutely the cause of all of this." She had no interest in listening to anything else.
No matter how much he explained, the outco would remain the sa.
"Yu, don’t be so heartless. I know you don’t want to see right now, so I’ll leave. But you are mine." His gaze toward Ji Yu carried a hint of confusion.
As he walked away, resentnt brewed within him.
After all, there had to be soone else pulling the strings behind this matter.
"Yuyu, are you okay?" Feng Qinqin didn’t know how to comfort Ji Yu, so she could only stay by her side.
Ji Yu’s eyes were glistening with tears.
"I’m fine."
At that mont, Gu Qixiao arrived in a hurry. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry in his heart.
"Yu, this was sothing Uncle Hu left for you. At first, I was curious why Uncle Hu entrusted with it, but it turns out he had already prepared a gift for you."
He had just stepped out earlier to retrieve it.
When Ji Yu saw the box, she was a little startled.
But upon thinking it through, her father had always been soone who approached life freely. Knowing that his ti was running out, he would’ve definitely prepared a farewell gift.
Though her heart ached, she forced herself to stay calm.
"Yu, I don’t know what’s inside, but I’m sure it carries Uncle Hu’s love for you. Not everyone in this world is as awful as Jiang Huai. You can still be happy."
"I know. It’s just that... sotis, I can’t seem to get over the hurdle in my heart. It feels like I can’t face happiness with a calm heart anymore." Her smile was bitter, reflecting her helplessness as she voiced the thought.
This matter had weighed too heavily on her heart.
"Yu, don’t be afraid. I’ll always be by your side. No matter what happens, I’ll make you happy. Didn’t you say before that you thought I resented you? How could I ever resent you?"
He gently ruffled the hair at the top of Ji Yu’s head, refraining from any further action beyond the small gesture of comfort.
Ji Yu suddenly felt her eyes sting.
When she opened the box and saw the photo inside, for a mont, she didn’t know how to express her emotions.
"So we did have a family photo after all." It was just that she had been so young back then, she’d rembered nothing of it.
"Yu, you have to believe that Uncle Hu truly loved you."
It was only because, for so reason, he had to leave.
Ji Yu’s expression turned bitter. "Yes, my father loved ."
Even when he left, he was still thinking of her.
This ti, Ji Yu couldn’t help but cry.
"Don’t be afraid. I know this matter weighs heavily on you, but I’m here."
Ji Yu couldn’t hold it in any longer. Leaning into Gu Qixiao’s arms, she began to cry. It amazed even her how strong she could be in front of everyone else, but so vulnerable in front of Gu Qixiao.
"Cry. You might feel better afterward." He held Ji Yu like that, feeling the tears soaking into his shirt. Yet he paid it no mind.
The person he cared most about was right in front of him. What could possibly be more important than Ji Yu?
"Yu, you don’t have to suppress your thoughts around . You only need to know that with , it’s okay to be vulnerable. You’re the most important person to , and nothing else matters more than you."
With Gu Qixiao, Ji Yu could afford to be herself. Even when she was weak, no harm would co to her.
As Ji Yu cried, she found herself laughing. Yes, these things weren’t easy. With Gu Qixiao by her side, she was like a child again.
"Gu Qixiao, I have to admit that you’re important to . You won’t leave , will you?" Ji Yu, too, had her monts of vulnerability.
"No, I’ll never leave you." Gu Qixiao’s promise was resolute, his eyes firmly conveying his determination not to give up on Ji Yu.
