Lu Qingxin only turned back around after the two had disappeared from view. She hugged Gu Yancheng tightly and cried loudly.
Lu Qingxin cried her eyes out.
Gu Yancheng gently wrapped his arms around her and comforted her, saying softly, “Qingxin, don’t cry! You break my heart when you cry.”
“Elder Brother Yancheng, I want to get revenge. Will you help me?”
Lu Qingxin lifted her eyes to look at Gu Yancheng.
Gu Yancheng held her soft and small hands in his and said softly, “How do you want to get revenge? Oh, no. Qingxin, I don’t want you to be consumed by hate. However, if getting revenge will make you happy, I’ll help you…”
“Elder Brother Yancheng, you’re the best!”
Gu Yancheng replied dotingly, “Silly girl!”
“Elder Brother Yancheng, when I close my eyes now, all I see is my mother. You know what? I really hate myself. If I hadn’t gone to Capital Film Academy to participate in the interview, then nothing bad would’ve happened. If I hadn’t gone to Capital Film Academy for the interview, I wouldn’t have fallen down the stairs. If I hadn’t fallen down the stairs, my dad wouldn’t have come to the capital. If my dad hadn’t come to the capital, he wouldn’t have met Ye Tianxin and the others. If they hadn’t met, the tragedy wouldn’t have happened… Elder Brother Yancheng, I’d give up everything to have my mother back… I don’t want to hate. I don’t want to hate my dad. I don’t want to hate them, either. But Elder Brother Yancheng, I don’t have a mother anymore… I don’t have a mother anymore… I don’t have a mother anymore….”

What Lu Qingxin said was very moving.
Gu Yancheng’s eyes shone with unshed tears.
“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I caused my mother’s death!”
Gu Yancheng comforted Lu Qingxin. He said softly, “Qingxin, how can you think this was your fault? It wasn’t!”
“Then whose fault was it?” Lu Qingxin asked.
Gu Yancheng said in an attempt to comfort Lu Qingxin, “Of course it’s Ye Tianxin’s fault! Even though Auntie pulled out her grandmother’s oxygen tube, wasn’t her grandmother okay? So why did she still insist on suing Auntie? She knew that if Auntie went to jail, she’d have a criminal record and that it would affect your life…”

“Elder Brother Yancheng, I wouldn’t have cared if my mom had gone to jail! I rather she’d gone to jail than die!”
Lu Qingxin cried her heart out. Gu Yancheng could only say, “Qingxin, don’t be sad. Your mother has already passed on and can’t be brought back to life. You can’t wallow in such sadness forever either!”
“Then, what should I do?”
Lu Qingxin looked tearfully at Gu Yancheng.
Gu Yancheng paused for a moment, then said, “Qingxin, why don’t you take your mind off of this? How about I take you out somewhere for a little while?”
“I’m not in the mood for that. Elder Brother Yancheng, do you know? I think I developed a mental illness. When I saw Ye Tianxin earlier, I wanted to strangle her and ask her why she hates me so much. Why does she hate us so much that she ruined our family? When she hit me, I thought, why don’t I just let her kill me too! I don’t want to live anymore…”

Gu Yancheng was worried that Lu Qingxin might take her own life. So he thought, what could he do to make her happy again?
“Qingxin, if you’re in so much pain, then let’s make her suffer too!”
Gu Yancheng’s declaration made Lu Qingxin stop crying. “Then Elder Brother Yancheng, how should we make her suffer?” she asked.
“We’ll make her lose the person she loves most so she can experience your pain. What do you think?”
