Jiang Xiu shook her head, her gaze lowered, and in a voice weighted with emotion, she whispered, "No, you don't understand," staring at her hands, she shared, "This isn't the first time it has happened; it's the third time—oh, it's the fourth time actually. Back when we were kids, she had to undergo community service because she defended me by getting into a fight with a boy and she ended up beating him. Then she had to confront our cousin because of me, even challenging our maternal family. Not even half a year has passed since she faced the Cheng Family because of me. I don't care how she dealt with those people, but I... I don't want to keep burdening her. She's already providing me with everything I need, and all I have to do is live well. Yet, I can't even do that, which makes me feel so pathetic—so please..."
Jiang Xiu looked up, locking eyes with the two people in the room.
