The old lady smiled at Gu Qingyao ingratiatingly.
"This… darling! I didn't mean to. I thought your father bullied your mother. I was so angry! Your mother is the apple of my eye! Do you know how I felt when I suddenly discovered that she was about to give birth? I almost… wanted to kill your father!"
Gu Qingyao: "…"
"I've regretted it all these years! I was desperately sorry when I saw how heartbroken your mother was, but I could not go back to look for you. I was also worried that your mother would never leave the past behind, so… I kept the truth from her.
"Fortunately, you were fine, and you're all grown up now. That's wonderful. I promise I will make it up to you, all right?"
The old woman smiled at her pleadingly. She even remembered to tug at the old man by her side.
