"The Su Wenxiu you mentioned, is he my dad?" Shen Ruo didn't turn around, asking Shen's mother with her back to her.
"...Yes."
"He was very cruel to my mom; he hit her often... I remember, lots of blood, very frightening..." Shen Ruo felt her body trembling slightly, her voice shaking as well.
So, the mother she'd yearned for all those years had already left this world...
Shen's mother gently hugged her from behind, whispering comfortingly, "Good child, don't think about those things, they're all in the past, don't think about it anymore."
"Mom, do you have a photo of my mom? I want to see what she looked like."
"Alright, I'll give it to you in a bit."
..................
After leaving Shen Ruo's room, Shen's mother returned to her own bedroom. Seeing her, Shen's father, who was reading a book on the bed, looked up and asked, "Did you tell her everything?"
"No, it's better not to tell her everything."
"Yes, we promised Bai Yun to keep that matter a secret."
