"But after university, I began to work hard to lose weight. I underwent myopic surgery, removed my braces, and began to learn how to wear makeup. I worked hard to earn money and spent all my money on myself. I also wanted to become as beautiful as you and be liked by others. "
Lin Yutong slowly lowered her eyes and recalled those days.
She did not have much money at that time. After her mother passed away, she could only rely on herself.
But no matter how difficult it was, she endured it because she wanted to prove to everyone that she was stronger than Zhao Siqing.
This became her obsession until she finally waited for her return to the country.
Unfortunately.. Reality was always so cruel. From start to finish, she was like a joke and had never won against her once.
After listening to her, Zhao Siqing said softly, "I'm sorry. I didn't think that my sudden departure would have such a huge impact on you. I also didn't think that it would delay your mother's surgery... "
Zhao Siqing knew that saying that she didn't think would be a little understated, but no matter what, she still had to apologize.
Meeting her gentle eyes, Lin Yutong's eyes reddened. She pursed her lips tightly, as if she was trying her best to control something.
Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. After a long while, she turned her head to avoid her gaze.
Why did she have to apologize?
She did not need her apology!
She had caused her mother to lose her life. What was the use of apologizing?
Zhao Siqing said gently, "I know you think that I can get everything easily, but that is not the case. I have also given a lot. You have to know that behind all the effortlessness, there are countless times that I have tried my best. "
Lin Yutong looked at her and did not say anything.
Zhao Siqing said again, "as for the matter of going abroad back then... I'm very sorry. It's just that the situation back then was not something that a third-year high school student like me could control. "
"Are you saying that you don't want to go at all? " Lin Yutong asked with red eyes.
"Yes, not at all, " Zhao Siqing said softly.
Lin Yutong laughed lightly with a hint of mockery.
How ridiculous was this world? There were people who risked their lives to pursue something, but they could not get it no matter what. There were people who disdained things that they did not want, but it had to be her.
Zhao Siqing said softly, "do you know Gu Xiaoxi? "
Lin Yutong was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly said, "I know. The girl who often spends time with you, she has short hair, long legs, and is very beautiful. "
"Yes, " Zhao Siqing replied softly, a little absent-minded. "In the third year of high school, Xiaoxi... in order to protect me, she died... "
Lin Yutong was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at her and slowly said, "but I remember that she committed suicide. "
"It was suicide, but it was to protect me back then, " Zhao Siqing said softly, her gaze a little absent-minded.
Lin Yutong did not make a sound, but she could clearly feel the unspeakable sadness and coldness from the woman beside her.
Zhao Siqing was silent for a long time before she snapped out of her memories and smiled at Lin Yutong She continued, "later on, in order to protect me, my mother was afraid that I would take revenge for Xiao Xi, so she forcefully wanted to send me overseas. I was unwilling at that time, so she locked me up at home. I don't know what she discussed with the school after that. "
Lin Yutong was speechless for a moment. She did not know how to voice out all her complaints.
She knew about Gu Xiaoxi's death. That day, during the flag-raising ceremony, she jumped down from the roof of the laboratory building wearing her school uniform. She fell on the cement floor and fell in front of everyone. She was badly mutilated.
However, at that time, she was preoccupied with the matter of going abroad. She never thought that Zhao Siqing going abroad was related to this matter.
