A sorrowful smile flashed across Doris's lips while her voice turned distant. "From the moment I've become sensible, my father told me that I'd have to work hard to fight for whatever I want. That way, I'd have it for much longer. What someone else gives you isn't yours. My mother is a classic example."
As Doris lowered her head to look at the shattered pieces on the ground, her eyes suddenly colored with a distant look. She would never have brought this up in front of anyone else, especially such unhappy things. She might not have even mentioned this to Gu Qiwu before.
"My mother's pure at heart. She's a very gentle and kind-hearted woman. My father loved her at first, and Mother was meticulous with her care for Father, but men's hearts aren't settled just because you're an understanding woman. Mother's too silly. She knew that Father had other women outside, yet she still compromised. She thought that if she compromised enough, she could get Father back."
