Gu Xiaorou immediately urged, "Mom and Dad! Don't blame big brother, he was just too concerned about my feelings! How could he be so selfish as to reveal all the foolish things I did back then just because of his wife!"
"Because of my willfulness, Xiaoqiao has suffered a lot. It was my weakness; I have always been afraid to tell you the truth, causing you to misunderstand Xiaoqiao and take up my defense! It was not Xiaoqiao who stole my boyfriend, but I betrayed her!"
