“At that time, we thought that our family would return to how they used to be after the dark clouds had cleared. Gao Bing was not angry and didn’t point her fingers at anyone. All she did was tell her sister to sever all ties with the Yin brothers. In fact, all of us blamed Yin Zheng and Yin Jian for not protecting Gao Bing well, but we couldn’t bring this matter up. We could only keep the resentment in our hearts. At that time, I’d also decided to sever my ties with the Yin family. Our family decided to start over again.”
“However, on the day my husband was discharged from the hospital, while Gao Bing and Gao Xue were helping him to pack, someone sent a package to him. The package contained hundreds of inappropriate pictures of Gao Bing. Gao Bing screamed and ran out while my husband suffered another heart attack and never woke up again…”
Director Wang’s voice was low, and an indescribably sorrowful atmosphere hung in the room.
Song Ning patted Director Wang gently as she asked, “Where did Gao Bing go?”
Director Wang did not answer immediately. After a moment, she said, “Gao Bing rushed to the 35th floor of the hospital. She didn’t hesitate and jumped off the building immediately.”
“The daughter we raised and loved was reduced to a pool of blood just like that. My husband passed away as well. My heart, just like my daughter, was reduced to a pool of blood.”
Director Wang leaned her entire weight against Song Ning. There was nothing more sorrowful than the death of the heart.
Song Ning could even find a comforting word to say to Director Wang. Director Wang lost her daughter and her husband consecutively; it was too tragic.
After a long while, Director Wang straightened her back and asked, “Do you think that was the end of the matter?”
Song Ning was slightly taken aback. ‘It’s not the end?’
Director Wang sighed softly. “Have you heard of the saying, ‘When it rains, it pours’? It was like that for our family. Who knew if Yin Zheng and Yin Jian felt guilty, but the Yin family came forward to help me suppress the matter. In the end, they covered up the entire matter. The story was changed to my daughter dying because of a sudden illness and that my husband could not accept the shock and died as well…”
“Old Master Yin looked for me as well and said many comforting words. The Yin family had enough resources to help me deal with everything. They even arranged for me to take time off and recuperate,” Director Wang said with a mocking smile on her face.
Song Ning asked softly, “What about Gao Xue?”
For some reason, there was an ominous feeling in Song Ning’s heart.
Director Wang tightened her grip around Song Ning’s hand as she turned to Song Ning and said, “Song Ning, how do you remember Gao Xue? Tell me, how do you remember her?! Why didn’t I remember Gao Xue? When Gao Bing and my husband died, I only remembered my pain and forgot about Gao Xue! I forgot I had another daughter!”
Director Wang cried again.
Song Ning patted Director Wang’s hand and said, “Senior sister, this is human nature. I’m a bystander so it’s easy for me to calmly analyze the situation and think about Gao Xue. On the other hand, you were in so much pain at that time. Senior sister, it’s not your fault.”
Director Wang reached out to hug Song Ning, crying uncontrollably. “It’s my fault! Not only did I fail to protect my eldest daughter, but I neglected to protect my youngest daughter as well! It’s all my fault! I’m a terrible mother! I’m not worthy of being a mother!”
