Gu Mingzhu said, "Make a clean break. I understand my son's temperament; as long as you give him a glimmer of hope, he will not give up. So promise me, do not see him, do not talk to him, do not contact him, do not give him any illusions or hope. Let him completely get over you, let him find his own way out. I hope during this time, you can stay as far away from him as possible, and hurt him as badly as you can."
Xia Yangyang hesitated, "I might not be able to do that."
She could not bring herself to intentionally hurt anyone.
"If you can't do it, then stay away."
Gu Mingzhu also understood Xia Yangyang's nature; she knew that Xia Yangyang couldn't do it.
That's why she made such a request.
Out of sight, actually, is much better.
All these years, Gu Zhaohan had not given up because Xia Yangyang was always in front of him.
Abroad, they had spent so much time alone together, which gave him the illusion that they could be together forever.
But those were just illusions.
