Mrs. Gu looked nervously towards Xiaoqiao, "And Xiaoqiao, are you willing to forgive us?"
As she spoke, she tugged at her husband's sleeve, still unable to swallow their pride even at this point.
She didn't consider how terribly they had treated the child at the time, which was probably the most difficult period in her life, yet the two elders had aggressively forced her to divorce Hangshen without understanding the situation.
"We were indeed in the wrong. If you're willing to come back, we'll never mistreat you again!" Mr. Gu also made his stance clear.
Xiaoqiao quickly interjected, "Dad, Mom, please don't say anymore. After all, you were unaware at the time. I understand your intentions were good — after all, who doesn't want the best for their son?"
Xiaoqiao's words were gracious and appropriate. By addressing them as Mom and Dad, she signaled her forgiveness, and her subsequent remarks preserved the dignity of the elders. This delighted both Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu.
