“… I… I didn’t want that either!”
Agitated, tears started seeping from Tan Yalan’s eyes.
Tears slipped down her twisted face, bringing about a sense of repulsion in others.
“But, who told you to… you cause the death of Xiao Ye!”
Perhaps due to being overly worked up, Tan Yalan revealed something Gu Qingjiu had never considered or heard of.
Back then, when Tan Yalan was pregnant, it was supposed to be a pair of twins, but when she gave birth, one of the babies was already dead.
The reason being, the other fetus had robbed the twin of her nutrition. Though such situations were extremely rare, they did exist.
To Tan Yalan, this was a thunderbolt out of a clear sky.
She had been happily waiting for the birth of her two children, but unexpectedly, one of her children was ‘killed’ by the other.
Although the doctor explained that this was an unconscious behavior by the baby who could not decide herself when she was in the womb, the more significant reason was due to the mother’s body.
But Tan Yalan insisted on pinning all the blame on the surviving baby, Gu Qingjiu.
The Xiao Ye that Tan Yalan was talking about was the girl who had died.
She could be considered as Gu Qingjiu’s younger sister.
Or perhaps because the matter had happened so long ago, Tan Yalan could finally say this out loud. However, as she stared at Gu Qingjiu, there was a sense of reprimand and heartache in her eyes.
As though this unpardonable mistake was Gu Qingjiu’s fault.
Gu Qingjiu was stunned. She had considered various possibilities, including that she wasn’t Tan Yalan’s biological child.
But never once had she expected it was such a situation.
To think that there was such a story behind her birth!
However, she had already developed into an individual entity. And since she already bore such resentment in her heart for so many years…
When she heard this story, it didn’t even stir any ripples in her heart.
At most, she found it to be unbelievable, but that was all. Towards that Xiao Ye, whom she wasn’t fated to meet, Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel a thing.
Looking at Tan Yalan’s face, which seemed to be expecting an apology from her, Gu Qingjiu curled her lips. “You’re ridiculous.”
After finding out the truth, she didn’t feel relieved and only felt indignant for herself.
How could a baby decide something like that?
And because of this stupid reason, she had to endure such suffering in her previous lifetime.
She sympathized with that younger sister of hers who died before getting to see this world, but not the Yu family.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu turn to leave, Tan Yalan got anxious. “I’ve already told you the reason. Aren’t you going to let your older sister off?”
“Let her off?” Gu Qingjiu stared at Tan Yalan coldly. “Are you kidding me? She tried to kill me! She deserves whatever punishment is coming for her. Just accept how the police are going to deal with this!”
She was benevolent enough that she did not ruthlessly exterminate the Yu family. Under such circumstances, they even wanted her to let Yu Shiwei off?
No way in hell!
However rotten her life became in the future, it was just her reaping the fruits of her actions!
Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s resolute attitude, Tan Yalan froze in surprise and collapsed next to a car with a panicked expression.
Even though she didn’t feel many emotions after learning of such a reason, Gu Qingjiu still thought it laughable. She headed back into the police station and told the police that she intended to pursue the matter, then left with her mother.
She was a bit cold, and it was only after returning home that she started feeling warmer.
