Last time Xiao Rou actually went to D City to see Qin Yao, but not long after she ran back home and hid in her room crying.
From that time on, she felt something was off, so she had Xiao Shen go to see what happened exactly, and after Xiao Shen went to D City and came back, she only said it was all groundless, and the matter ended there.
However, watching her daughter wasting away in silence day by day, she, as a mother, couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I have a press conference this evening and need to prepare for it in advance," Qin Yao stood up.
"Wait a minute, why are you leaving so soon? Go up and have a look at Xiao Rou!" For her daughter's sake, Gu's mother softened her tone.
Qin Yao halted his steps and nodded.
He pushed open the door to Gu Xiaorou's bedroom.
She was sitting on the carpet in her thin pajamas, surrounded by torn and crumpled photographs.
