"Why is it always them? Why is it always like this? I’m living my life just fine, and they suddenly appear, disrupting my life? Lin Deng, tell , why do I have to be Gu Zhilan? Can’t I be He Zhilan? Can they compensate enough to erase all the hurt I’ve suffered? Can the child I’ve lost co back?"
He Zhilan shouted in a low voice, "Lin Deng, do you know, wounds remain on the body, no matter how much you try to heal them, they’ll always be there. I had a hard ti letting it go, indifferent to it, yet they want to make feel like this? Is this their way of making the sinner of the Gu Family? Is Gu Family’s downfall ant to compensate ? Or add another guilt to my na?"
"In the end, it’s their selfishness. They think the greater the price they pay, the more they can compensate ? Or do they think the more tragic their fate is, the deeper their repentance to ? Yes, they believe that after repenting and compensating , they can claim to be guilt-free towards . But what about ? They never ask , instead they forcefully burden with all the results. Have they thought if I can accept it? If I can breathe? I hope Xing Ye becos the victor not just because I hate the Gu Family, not because I wish to see the Gu Family in this predicant, but because Xing Ye treats well, Lin Chan and the others treat well!"
Lin Deng was left speechless; he was not He Zhilan, so he could not understand the taste in He Zhilan’s heart.
However, he could feel He Zhilan’s sadness at this mont; when He Zhilan said she was suffocating under the pressure, it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Yes, the price the Gu Family paid was too great; Gu Hengyuan’s fate was too tragic; already in his forties, Gu Hengyuan might spend the rest of his days in prison.
The Gu Family lost their future, their reputation, and also sacrificed the lifelong honor of the old man Gu.
From now on, when people talk about the Gu Family again, no one will use a tone of admiration. When speaking of the old man Gu, people will always ntion all the sins of the Gu Family.
One’s honor is everyone’s honor, one’s defeat is total defeat.
It’s not about the difference between living or dying, but about the entire family’s everything.
So, this compensation might be, for He Zhilan, the greatest wound, the greatest difficulty inflicted by the Gu Family.
However, no one can say that the Gu Family’s love for their daughter He Zhilan was fake, because the Gu Family’s intention was genuinely to do sothing for their deceased daughter. It’s just that Gu Zhilan’s death left them in despair, hence they would use such a thod to fulfill He Zhilan’s wishes during her lifeti.
If He Zhilan had truly died, then such a thod might indeed be moving.
However, the irony is that He Zhilan is still alive in this world; she is a person of flesh and blood and emotions. The destruction of the Gu Family seems to eventually fall on her shoulders. Now that she is alive, in the future, the descendants of the Gu Family will only say that the Gu Family’s current state is all because of He Zhilan.
He Zhilan, living on, would also have to hear others speak ill of the Gu Family, and, incidentally, talk about the deceased old man Gu.
Most importantly, He Zhilan has been hating the Gu Family for years, yet the Gu Family has suddenly forsaken themselves for her.
How can He Zhilan transform years of hatred into other feelings?
Not hate?
Like He Zhilan said, once wounds exist, they exist; no amount of healing will make them disappear. The child she lost can never return either.
