Only Gu'er, Sun Jiaming, and Grandma Sun were left in the room.
"Gu'er, don't overthink it. It's a good thing you're going back. Living at home is definitely safer than renting a place. If anything happens in the city, just let me know."
Sun Jiaming was worried Gu'er would feel burdened, so he tried to reassure her.
"That's right. All parents want what's best for their children. Your mom and dad didn't mean for it to happen back then, and they've suffered all these years, too. Go back and be a good, filial daughter to them. But don't let yourself be mistreated, either. If anything happens, you just come back and tell us. This old grandma isn't much use, but you still have Jia Ming. If you don't want to live in the city, just come back. Don't be afraid you have nowhere to go."
Grandma Sun also took Gu'er's hand. She wouldn't stop Gu'er from going back; she only wanted to tell her that they were her support system. No matter what, this would always be Gu'er's home.
