"Aren't you curious why I'm late?"

Gu Mingyu raised the corners of his lips and asked with a happy expression on his face.

"Not curious, not interested at all."

As soon as Sang Leng saw his expression, he guessed that it must be because she didn't want to hear it, so she refused to know with a straight face.

However, Gu Mingyu boasted, "I just wanted to tell you that I was late because I was reluctant to leave Nuannuan when I went out."

Sang Leng: “…”

Sure enough, that was the reason she didn't want to hear.

"Gu Mingyu, did you ask me out just to show off to me?"

"Of course not," Gu Mingyu said with a smile on his face, "Showing off is only part of the reason. The most important reason is that I want to know about the grudge between you and Nuannuan."

"Grudges? Isn't it presumptuous of you to use this word on your family?"

"The word 'family' sounds beautiful, but I know that not all homes are safe havens. For Nuannuan, you are not either."

Gu Mingyu retorted unceremoniously.

Sang's face darkened.

She also knew that in Sang Nuan's mind, her family had never been her safe haven.

But this result is not what they want.

They are obviously doing this for each other's good, and they obviously love each other.

She also didn't know why they went in different directions and pushed the other party further and further away?

"What did she tell you about us? That we didn't love her?"

Sang Leng asked in a low voice.

Gu Mingyu repeated to her what Sang Yuwan had said in the quiet room.

After hearing this, Sang Leng smiled bitterly and said, "So that's what she thought."

"Haven't you ever talked about this issue?" Gu Mingyu asked.

Sang Leng shook his head: "We all thought that this issue didn't need to be discussed at all, but we didn't know that she would misunderstand."

“So, what’s your version?”

That was why he came to see her.

Different people have different interpretations of the same thing, and that's how misunderstandings arise.

In fact, he has always been dismissive of things like clearing up misunderstandings and reconciling.

Since misunderstandings can happen, it means that there is a grudge between each other.

If you really don't like it, don't force yourself. After all, you only have one life.

Why do you have to understand people you don’t like and force yourself to accept things you don’t want to accept?

However, this is his stance as a human being.

But it is not too late.

Although he was dismissive of these things, he was willing to understand her feelings.

"My parents love each other very much," Sang Leng said slowly, "It is said that they were childhood sweethearts. Although they majored in completely different fields, one was arts and the other was science, it did not stop them from falling in love.

The two got married after graduation and have always had a good relationship since then. They are well-known as a model couple in the family compound. After my brother was born, their relationship is still as good as ever.

Moreover, my brother is very smart and has inherited the good genes of his parents. He has been a child of other families since he was young. Originally, they could have lived happily like this forever. Until later, my mother got pregnant again, and it was twins. In those days, pregnancy was not checked as frequently as it is now.

Although I knew I was having twins from the beginning, my mother didn’t do many prenatal checkups because she was too busy with work and it was inconvenient. It wasn’t until I was born that I realized that the baby in my belly was a standing baby and was much bigger than me, so I couldn’t be born at all.

My grandmother said that the situation was very urgent. The doctor suddenly knew where the patient was and didn't know what to do. Someone was sent out to discuss it with my father. My father panicked and blurted out that he could save the adult and not the child.

My grandmother was also a doctor, but she had already retired at that time. But she still made a prompt decision to perform a caesarean section on my mother. She volunteered to go in and help.

In the end, the operation was successful. Sang Nuan was one pound heavier than me when she was born. If she had been a little smaller than me, she might have been able to stand smoothly.

Although both mother and daughter were safe in the end, my mother was already an older mother when she gave birth to us. She also had to undergo a caesarean section after giving birth to the first child, which damaged her health. Her health has been poor ever since.

But mom didn't regret it, because dad said that we didn't have to have the child. Although she didn't hate dad, she felt sorry for Sang Nuan. Among the three of us, she loved Sang Nuan especially.

However, Sang Nuan is the least intelligent one among the three of us. Others say that her brain is damaged because she has been holding it in for too long. She is not as smart and studious as my brother and I.

Mom felt even more sorry for her and loved her even more.

When I was three years old, my grandfather fell ill and my mother returned to my hometown to take care of him.

My father took Sang Nuan and me out together, but because he received a very important phone call, we talked for too long and forgot about me and Sang Nuan.

Sang Nuan is very active and likes to run around. I just waited there obediently. Although I tried to stop her from running around, I was just a child at that time and of course I couldn't keep an eye on her.

When dad came back to find us, I was the only one there, Sang Nuan was missing.

My father was very anxious at the time. I still remember that his face turned pale and he almost knelt down in front of the police, begging them to find Sang Nuan.

But it was very common to lose a child at that time. If a child was lost and not found within 48 hours, it was very likely that he would never be found again. Dad didn’t dare to tell Mom that Sang Nuan was missing. When Mom came back, Sang Nuan had been missing for half a month.

That was the first time that mom and dad had a fight. When people are fighting, they can say anything that hurts their heart. Mom said that dad never liked Sang Nuan. He thought Sang Nuan was too stupid and unworthy of being his child, so he deliberately lost Sang Nuan.

You can imagine how much of a blow this was to my father. He was already feeling guilty and miserable for losing a daughter, and now he was misunderstood by his beloved wife.

From then on, the two began a cold war.

Although my mother stayed at home to take care of my brother and me, she refused to communicate with my father, except for the matters concerning my brother and me. This lasted for several years, and they never gave up looking for Sang Nuan, but my mother became depressed because of this incident, and passed away before Sang Nuan was found, and she never saw Sang Nuan return home.

I still remember that the night before the police notified us to come and claim the body, my father was smoking alone on the balcony. He didn't smoke before, but after my mother died, he learned to smoke. You can imagine what it's like to learn to smoke in middle age.

I don't know what he was thinking that night, but I think he must have hesitated whether to take Sang Nuan home. To him, Sang Nuan was not only his daughter, but also the culprit who took his lover away.

You may find this ridiculous, but it is true. Not only my father, but my brother also resented Sang Nuan. He told me that if it were not for Sang Nuan, my mother would not have left us.

He is older than me and has been with my mother for a longer time, so our relationship is even deeper. As for me… although I am also sad about my mother’s passing, as a fraternal twin with Sang Nuan, I also have a deep relationship with her.

So the next morning, I called my grandparents and told them that my father didn't want to take Sang Nuan back. My grandparents were very angry and came over to force my father to pick her up. At that time, Sang Nuan and I were almost ten years old. I had already finished high school courses by myself and was about to enter the junior class of the university. I was an excellent child in the eyes of others.

But because Sang Nuan was trafficked to the countryside, she had been living there ever since. She started school later than other children and was only in the second grade when she was almost ten years old. Her hair was messy, her face was dirty, and there was pudding on her clothes.

But fortunately, she must have eaten well, and she grew strong and tall, half a head taller than me. When my grandmother saw her crying, she washed her face and found that she looked very much like her mother.

Grandma hugged her and cried even more sadly, and Dad's eyes were red. Among the three of us, I didn't expect that she would look the most like Mom? Because of this reason, Dad had complicated feelings towards her. On the one hand, he resented her for taking Mom away, but on the other hand, because she looked like Mom, he couldn't control his concern for her.

In fact, Sang Nuan is still the same Sang Nuan, who doesn’t like to study, but likes to jump around. She is as happy as a happy bird every day. I don’t know why she can be so happy every day? But others think that she doesn’t like to study because she didn’t live at home since she was a child, but grew up outside and didn’t receive a good education, which is why she is a poor student.

So Dad let her take a year off from school, and he put aside everything else to teach her at home. But after half a year, Dad gave up the plan. He felt that if he continued teaching us, he might not see us grow up.

Sang Nuan also had a bad temper. According to the police, she was abducted and sold to a family as a child bride.

The family's son had been in poor health since he was born, so they bought Sang Nuan to bring good luck to their son.

As a result, after bringing Sang Nuan home, not only did their son's health fail to improve, but the child died within two years.

The family thought she was unlucky and had brought death to their son, so they kicked her out of the house.

She was only five years old and was wandering outside. Fortunately, she met a kind old couple who picked up garbage and took her in. Then she stayed and became the old couple's granddaughter.

The old couple had no children in their life, and they felt like they had found a treasure when they found her. Although the family conditions were not good, they doted on her very much, so they cultivated her temper.

Of course she was not convinced by the way my father treated her, and she felt that the old couple were her family, not us. So quarreling with my father was commonplace, and they would blame and complain about each other.

Dad said she killed her mom. She blamed her dad for not taking good care of her and letting her be abducted. That's why she's so stupid now. Since he doesn't like her, why not let her go and go back to her grandparents?

During that time, the family was often in turmoil. My grandparents wanted to take her home to raise her themselves to avoid quarrels between her and her father, but they were worried that this would make them feel more and more distant. In addition, my grandparents were old and worried that they would not be able to take good care of her. It was not until she entered the sports circle that the family finally calmed down. "
