"Honestly... I've never even seen her. I've only heard stories about her."
He lowered his gaze.
"And... sometimes... I resent her."
The moment those words left his mouth, he froze. Even he hadn't realised that he had let his guard down.
He nervously looked toward Mu Ning. He expected her to scold him. To call him an unfilial child.
Instead, Mu Ning smiled gently. "You must hate her."
Rui Fan blinked. Mu Ning continued calmly,
"After all, she left behind a huge mess for you. She sacrificed her life trying to protect you. But she probably never imagined that the family she entrusted you to would never truly raise you. So, from your perspective... she gave you life... but she also left you alone."
Rui Fan's pupils trembled. For the first time... someone understood exactly what he had been thinking all these years.
His voice became hoarse. "So... there's nothing wrong with me thinking like that?"
