Gu Jinhe said, "So in Aunt Xiuxiu's eyes, Yang Lin's murder of me was just to defend you?"

Gu Jinhe's words made Yang Xiu stunned for a moment, and she said: "Jinhe, I am really sorry about this matter."

Gu Jinhe's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled gently: "Your apology is half a year late."

"Feel sorry······"

It seemed that Yang Xiu didn't know what to say except sorry. She lowered her head while holding the teacup, as if she knew how pale and powerless her words were.

If a simple apology could offset all the hurt, then the world would be filled with apologies.

The living room was quiet for a moment, and this time it was Gu Jinhe who spoke first.

She said, "Tell me why you came to see me."

Yang Xiu pursed her lips, the hair falling from her forehead covered her eyebrows and eyes, and she whispered: "I want you and the Yang family to live in harmony. I don't want to see you fighting each other again."

Gu Jinhe narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Have you forgiven the person who paralyzed you for twenty-one years?"

Yang Xiu's breathing paused, she raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Jinhe, a hint of inexplicable emotion flashed across her eyes.

Then she showed a sad expression on her face: "So many years have passed. I must have had resentment at the beginning, but now I have let it go. It is not a good thing to always be obsessed with one thing. Let it go and let yourself go. On the contrary, I feel much more comfortable and relaxed."

Gu Jinhe smiled slightly: "So you choose to forgive?"

Yang Xiu nodded slightly: "Yes, I forgive you. I forgive the past and the present."

"Now?" Gu Jinhe asked doubtfully, "What is happening now that requires your forgiveness?"

Yang Xiu lowered his eyelids and said thoughtfully, "I don't deny what Lin Lin did to you, and what happened to the girl from your fifth uncle's family. It was all Lin Lin's fault. I have been copying Buddhist scriptures every day for so many years, hoping that my loved ones can be safe and sound."

Gu Jinhe chuckled: "So, you forgive Yang Lin for murdering me?"

Yang Xiu said sincerely: "I'm sorry, although I know it's useless to say this, but I still hope you can forgive Lin Lin. Maybe you don't know it now, but one day in the future when you know some of the truth, you will make the same choice as me."

Gu Jinhe restrained the smile on his lips, and said with a chill in his tone: "I don't know what the truth you are talking about is, but no one is qualified to make choices for me about my affairs."

"That's true, old lady. You too, seem to always like to use your own thoughts to think about what choices others should make, and never think about whether others will agree with such a choice."

Gu Jinhe said in a deep voice: "Also, if the truth you are referring to is the relationship between my mother and the Yang family, then I am sorry to disappoint you. Even though I have some Yang family blood flowing in my body, this is not the reason why I choose to forgive Yang Lin for these few blood ties even though he wants to kill me several times."

"When you asked me to choose to forgive, why didn't you ask Yang Lin first to see if he would give up trying to kill me."

Yang Xiu listened to Gu Jinhe's words, and her expression paused. She looked straight at Gu Jinhe, as if she was a little incredulous and asked: "How did you know?"

Gu Jinhe did not answer her question, but said: "You said that my mother grew up with you since childhood. You are the eldest daughter of the Yang family in the east of the city, and my mother's ancestral home is in Jiangcheng. There should be no connection between your growth experiences."

"But because of this blood relationship, my mother came from Jiangcheng to Beijing. She grew up with you, went to school with you, and experienced many things together with you."

"In fact, when I learned about the relationship between my mother and you, I was very curious about one thing. Why did you take my mother to the capital? Why did you raise her in the Yang family? Can you tell me the answer?"

A strange light flashed in Yang Xiu's eyes, and the first words she said were to praise Gu Jinhe: "You are very smart. In this respect, you are very much like your mother."

Gu Jinhe just looked at her, silent.

Yang Xiu sighed deeply, and after a long while, he spoke: "I just said that your mother is very smart. No matter what she learns, she can quickly master it. On the other hand, for me, your mother can learn the same instrument in one day, and if she can master it thoroughly, I need to spend more time to become proficient."

Gu Jinhe said, "So, it is because my mother is smart that the Yang family chose to take her to the capital, right?"

Yang Xiu looked directly at Gu Jinhe and said, "You are really a very smart child."

She did not deny what Gu Jinhe said.

Gu Jinhe then asked, "What is the purpose of the Yang family taking my mother over?"

Yang Xiu: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but I'm doing this for your own good."

This is a person who is hiding the truth under the pretext of doing good for her.

Gu Jinhe said: "You hope that the Yang family and I can live in harmony. First of all, this must be based on fairness and justice. Your brother and your nephew both want my life. You must know this."

"Instead of trying to persuade them, you are trying to persuade me."

"First of all, you have to understand one thing. I am a victim. Yang Lin led people to attack me and wanted to kill me. In the past year, he tried to kill me no less than three times."

"Your light words about wanting me to live in harmony with the Yang family are too frivolous. If it were me who wanted Yang Lin's life, would you still persuade Yang Lin to live in harmony with me?"

Yang Xiu fell silent and didn't speak again for a long time.

It seemed that Gu Jinhe's words aroused the hidden sadness in her heart, because her eyes were redder than before, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

Gu Jinhe said mercilessly: "You know Yang Lin's character well. According to his temperament, if I sent people to attack him again and again and wanted to kill him, he would fight with me to death in this life and would never choose to forgive me."

"That's why you came to persuade me. But even if you persuade me, what can I do? If Yang Lin still wants to kill me, do you want me to surrender and let him hurt me?"

Yang Xiu shook her head, tears were about to fall, she choked and said: "I'm sorry, Jinhe, I just don't want you siblings to hurt each other anymore, I want you both to be fine..."

Gu Jinhe interrupted her coldly: "Sorry, I don't agree with what you said about the brother-sister relationship. Please don't say it again in the future. My brother's surname is Gu, not Yang."

It wouldn't be any other surname.

As if he understood what Gu Jinhe meant from her words, Yang Xiu put down the teacup in his hand without even taking a sip.

She looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "You can deny your brother's identity, but do you not want to acknowledge me as your aunt?"

Gu Jinhe looked at Yang Xiu in surprise. She didn't know whether Yang Xiu said this on purpose or really wanted to separate herself from Yang Lin, as if she wanted Gu Jinhe to acknowledge their relationship.
