Gu Xijue couldn't understand why Zhao Ying harbored such hostility towards Shen Biran and Gu Xiaonuan.
Both Gu Xiaonuan and Shen Biran were victims.
It was Zhao Ying who had disrupted the original family of the Gu Family.
Gu Xijue had always been hesitant to acknowledge that Zhao Ying was the "other woman," who had destroyed the tranquil life of Nuannuan and Mrs. Shen.
And it was Zhao Ying's elevation to official status which was largely due to Gu Xijue—it was Zhao Ying who used Gu Xijue to gain the title of Madam Gu.
After learning the true state of his family, Gu Xijue had always felt guilty, and his kindness toward Xiaonuan was also rooted in that initial guilt.
Since Gu Xijue couldn't restore Mrs. Shen's shattered marriage back to what it once was, he spent the years of Shen Biran's coma taking care of Gu Xiaonuan with all his heart and effort, wanting to provide her with familial warmth.
Emotions, in the blink of an eye, changed.
