It was clear that in Gui Xingli's heart, Shang Yu was a trustworthy person, yet now such an unexpected incident had occurred. She was inherently a suspicious person. Coupled with her ignorance of many past events and the information Xiao Linye had recently brought back, she suddenly found herself lost and confused.
"Don't worry. I was too rash regarding the Turanxi matter. From now on, I will protect you properly," Gui Xingli assured her, her tone saturated with guilt. When she heard that Ye Yuning had nearly encountered disaster in Turanxi, Gui Xingli almost lost her mind. Her first reaction was: It must have been the work of Elder Xiao! At that moment, she truly felt like she could have devoured Elder Xiao alive. This guilt wasn't just towards Ye Yuning; it was also towards the deceased Sheng Hanyi. She had promised to find his sister and take good care of her. But how long had it really been since she'd found her? For such a thing to happen already!
