Gu Mingzhu, however, was unable to understand, and said, "I still don’t get it. You say Zijun has something on her mind, but what could Zijun possibly be thinking? Zijun has always been well-behaved. You can’t impose the grudges of the past generation onto the children of this generation." Gu Mingzhu actually understood this deeply. The grudges of the past generation have already made this generation endure too much. Gu Mingzhu only hoped that their future steps would not be hindered by the mistakes made in the past. Whether it was Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang, or Gu Mingzhu. Gu Mingzhu was someone she watched grow up. She was the same age as Gu Qichen. Previously, after Gu Mingzhu married Xi Jiachen, Gu Qichen was not around. Looking at Xi Zijun, Gu Mingzhu would always be reminded of Gu Qichen. Xi Zijun was neglected by her parents since she was young, making her essentially no different from an orphan. Therefore, Gu Mingzhu has always felt sorry for her since she was young. The old man said, "Zijun, this child’s thoughts are too deep. The Gu Family owes her, and we can compensate her with anything else, just not with emotions. Ah Chen and Yangyang have gone through so much, and they have barely settled down now. Do you really want the past to repeat itself?" The old man and Gu Mingzhu continued to argue incessantly. Xia Yangyang couldn’t get a word in from the side. But they didn’t stay long at the Gu Garden. They made an excuse to leave after dinner. Xia Yangyang only felt that Gu Qichen left in a hurry, as if something was up. Sure enough, just as Xia Yangyang had guessed. As soon as they got in the car, Gu Qichen said, "Let’s go to Nanning Apartment, I feel a bit uneasy." Actually, what Gu Qichen was thinking was exactly what Xia Yangyang was thinking. Earlier, when Xi Zijun left in such a state, with her eyes unable to see, Xia Yangyang truly feared something might happen. The old man was merely afraid that Xi Zijun would come between them, disrupting their relationship. But Xia Yangyang believed in Gu Qichen and in herself. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fıre·net Right now, they have no other feelings for Xi Zijun except guilt. They just wanted to find a way to make amends. Xia Yangyang also knew that what Gu Qichen was thinking must be the same as her own thoughts. Xia Yangyang nodded, "She might not have eaten yet. Let’s pick something up on the way." Because it took so long to shop, they happened to pass by a supermarket. They directly bought some fresh fruits and vegetables to bring over. Although Nanning Apartment has an excellent location, right in the golden area of the city center, it is actually an old community. The property management and various public facilities inside are not very advanced. Xia Yangyang and the others took the elevator straight upstairs. Xi Zijun lives on the tenth floor. But just as they opened the elevator door, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen saw Xi Zijun’s figure. Xi Zijun was squatting at the doorway, hugging her knees, burying her face in them. Her shoulders were trembling slightly. Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen were both shocked; Xi Zijun was crying. Not to mention Xia Yangyang, even Gu Qichen had never seen Xi Zijun shedding tears. Xia Yangyang stood there motionless. Usually, Xi Zijun gave off the impression of a goddess warrior, forever clean and efficient, with arrogance emanating from her very bones. Even proud men would retreat at her approach. But now, she was squatting at the door, holding herself, helpless like a child. Xia Yangyang didn’t know what happened. She only felt that everything in front of her was shocking.
