So that's how it was...
So, Gu Xi, knowing all this, was told about it by the elders. She didn't know the true facts.
That is to say, there might be hidden truths here as well.
"Xixi, you said your fourth uncle was quite good to you before, didn't you?"
"Yes," Gu Xi nodded, "But I can't remember clearly, I was little then. I vaguely remember my fourth uncle was a nice guy, he used to come to our place for meals often. Mom and dad liked him too, sometimes he would stay at our house."
"Do you hate him?"
"I don't know..." Gu Xi bowed her head, "They all despise him, so I..."
"Xixi, you're no longer a little child now, you should understand some things, right?"
At the age of fifteen, she no longer considered herself a kid. She had grown up in the welfare institution, where her mentality was more mature than her peers. She differed from Gu Xi, who had been pampered from an early age and never had any worries. She was still a little princess, untouched by worldly matters.
