"Xiaoqing, Aunt wants to speak honestly with you. I admitted before that it was my fault. I cared about social status and wanted a match of equal standing. Plus, with those two brothers causing trouble, I felt uncomfortable and unwilling to make things work for you and Shaohan. So I pretended to know nothing."
He Cui wanted to make a final effort, not for herself, but for Fang Shaohan.
"Aunt's thoughts, you should be able to understand. But now, with Shaohan like this, how can Aunt feel? I can't demand anything from you; that's selfish. To ask a good girl to care for someone who might never be able to stand up again, to ask you to be with someone whose future is bleak... Aunt can't say such things.
Still, Aunt is selfish. Watching my son fall into despair and rage like a trapped beast, my heart feels like it's been stabbed numerous times. It hurts so much I don't want to live."
