"Lin Nian'er, how could you do such a thing?"

Gu Jingxing became more and more angry as he spoke, his face was extremely awkward. Even the water cup that Aunt Zhou had just sent over was overturned. The water cup fell to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound, and fell straight to Lin Nian'er's heart.

The sound of the water cup breaking seemed like the perfect image she had in Gu Jingxing's heart, all broken and in a mess.

Lin Nian'er's heart suddenly shrank and her face turned paler.

The explanation did not work at all, but instead made the man even more angry... Lin Nian'er made up her mind, so she could only admit it.

Lin Nian'er lowered her head, "Brother Jingxing, it's all Nian'er's fault. Nian'er was wrong, really wrong..."

Lin Nian'er sipped for a moment, choked up and said, "Nian'er was afraid that you would worry, so she didn't tell all the reasons for going abroad. In fact... Nian'er's family went bankrupt and she had no choice but to go abroad..."

Gu Jingxing's brows were still frowning.

"My mother and I have been abroad for three years. She has no money or house. My mother has become sick because of excessive worry. The money she has lived abroad was originally from Nian Er's part-time job. It's just that little money. She has to live, eat and treat her mother..."

Lin Nian'er said tears fell down uncontrollably, as if she remembered the tormented moment abroad again.

"Mother had to spend too much money on treatment. Nian'er wanted to spend a penny in two cents, but the money was still not enough..."

Gu Jingxing's eyes dissipated a little when he heard the woman telling the hard times when he heard the woman's warm voice, and even felt a little bit of care.

It turns out...is it?

"Mother couldn't get through in the end..." Lin Nian'er lowered her head and held the corner of her clothes with her fingers as if she was suppressing the pain.

Gu Jingxing was silent.

He listened to the woman's crying and tears. Perhaps because of the same experience, he actually felt the pain of his relative's death and became empathetic in an instant.

He remembered the day when his father and brother had a car accident, the moment he learned the news, the moment when his father and brother were buried...

He was covered in black and stood in front of his relatives’ grave, his eyes drooping were filled with gloom.

Lin Nian'er raised an ugly smile on her lips, "Brother Jingxing, how did Nian'er become like this...? How could he value money so much...? Nian'er was afraid of such a poor life... very scared..."

She had a strong self-deprecating look on her face, "Yes, I'm so merciless. To put it bluntly, just like Sister Nian Xi scolded me, I'm a money-worshiping woman..."

Gu Jingxing felt ache in his heart, his eyes suddenly tightened, with a lot of heartache.

Lin Nian'er slowly staggered and wiped the tears from her face, "Is it a philistine? Is it disgusting? Nian'er also feels disgusting."

"Nian'er sometimes lies in bed at night and thinks, why did she come back then... Why did she come back to find you... Such a philandering woman who worships money...who would like it?"

Gu Jingxing felt aroused guilt when he listened to the woman's words.

He said so heavily just now, and he undoubtedly sprinkled salt on Nian'er's wounds.

Lin Nian'er obviously saw the change in Gu Jingxing's expression, but she continued, "Nian'er knew that she had disappointed Brother Jingxing, and Nian'er had no face to stay there."

"Brother Jingxing, I won't Nian'er in the future. You have to take good care of yourself..."

Lin Nian'er wiped away her tears, her arms tremblingly reached for her bag, as if one was not in a stable position. The bag fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered on the ground. One of the quaint-looking ring-shaped amulets seemed out of place among a pile of modern items.

The amulet is flat and round, with complex patterns engraved on it, quiet and ancient. Because it is old, you can only vaguely identify the words on it, but you can't see clearly, exuding a precious and mysterious atmosphere.
