Mu Mian thought of that middle-class girl who, with the arrogance that came from her family's wealth, bore a resemblance to Jin Ruomei. She never imagined such a tragic end awaited her.
Xu Yuan said, "There's no right or wrong in the matters of this world. It's a sorrow to be born into a family that devours without spitting out the bones. Mu Qing was bound to run into trouble sooner or later with his personality. He's not from B City, yet he deluded himself into thinking he could walk alongside Xue Ye and Du Jie, blindly arrogant without considering the consequences. Tragedies like the one involving the Silver Comb will just keep happening, one after another. Can you really say that it's your fault?"
Mu Mian fell silent.
She never understood any of these things.
She didn't understand why Mu Chun would kill her parents, nor did she understand how Gong Heng could be so indifferent toward Gong Mian. They were family, wasn't blood thicker than water?
