After the divorce, Mrs. Zhou proposed to remarry with her three children.

Five days later, Cheng Zhiwei arrived at Cheng's house.

She stood at the door, hesitant to knock on the door.

Cheng Zhiyin called last night and they had returned to Chongqing.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Cheng Zhiwei raised his hand to open the door.

The door was pulled open from the inside.

Guo Cuihua was holding a bag in his hand and seemed to be preparing to go out.

When she saw Cheng Zhiwei at the door, she shouted in surprise, "Zhiwei, you're here."

"Your dad and your friend came back from their hometown. They brought fish cakes to make soup. I'm about to deliver them to you." Guo Cuihua quickly pulled Cheng Zhiwei in, "Come in quickly and have a bowl while it's hot. We'll wait for you Let’s go together.”

"Okay." Cheng Zhiwei followed in and immediately saw Cheng Zhiyin standing opposite.

She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but there was a reluctance in her smile that only the two of them could understand.

Cheng Zhiwei's eyes heated up and he lowered his head.

Guo Cuihua put the bag away and served Cheng Zhiwei soup. Seeing her red eyes, she quickly asked what was wrong.

"It's okay." Cheng Zhiwei sat and drank the steaming fish cake soup one mouthful at a time.

The soup is delicious.

Cheng Zhiwei's mouth was full of bitterness, spoon after spoon, his movements were numb and mechanical.

The better Guo Cuihua treats her, the more guilty she feels.

She felt that she didn't even deserve to drink this bowl of fish cake soup.

After finishing a bowl of fish cake soup, Guo Cuihua asked her softly if she wanted more.

"No, Mom, I have something to do with my sister, so I'll go over there first."

"Oh, okay." Guo Cuihua felt something was wrong, but she didn't ask anything and watched her two daughters enter the room.

The door slammed shut.

This is the room that Cheng Zhiwei lived in before. She was in a hurry when she left, but now it is neat and clean. It seems that Guo Cuihua has tidied it up again.

She couldn't think about that now, and when she thought about it, she felt as if guilt was weighing on her heart like a huge boulder, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

Cheng Zhiyin walked up to her and asked softly, "Thank you for coming."

Such politeness made Cheng Zhiwei feel depressed, but he just nodded, "It should be."

Both fell silent.

The atmosphere was eerie and dull.

In the end, it was Cheng Zhiyin who spoke first and said softly: "Zhiwei, don't feel too guilty. It's not your fault. It was dad who didn't protect her well back then."

Cheng Zhiwei raised his eyes to prevent tears from falling.

"As for what you asked me to ask, I have already asked. Dad said that the person who adopted her died shortly after Bai Zhuzhu was born."

"Is that family's surname Bai?"

"Ah."

"Xu Zhenzhen..." Cheng Zhiyin felt very complicated when he mentioned this name.

She had suffered a lot from Xu Zhenzhen, especially being bullied by Gao Wei. That was the fault of He Lanzhi and Xu Zhenzhen.

"She was adopted by the Bai family, but the Bai family didn't treat her well. Later, when Mrs. Bai became pregnant with Bai Zhuzhu, she threw her into the orphanage. Later, when Bai Zhuzhu was born, the couple died, and Bai Zhuzhu She was raised by the Bai family, and after knowing that Xu Zhenzhen was supported by the Cheng family, she threw Bai Zhuzhu to her."

As Cheng Zhiyin spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears as his eyes turned red.

When she didn't know that Xu Zhenzhen was her sister, she hated Xu Zhenzhen extremely, but in the past few days, after learning about Xu Zhenzhen's growth experience, she was suffering terribly.

Xu Zhenzhen really suffered too much.

Everyone is dead, it doesn't matter whether you forgive or not.

"Zhiwei, I know you feel uncomfortable, so you moved out, but I still insist that this matter is not your fault." Cheng Zhiyin calmed down all the complicated emotions in his heart.

"Let's think about how to tell mom first." Cheng Zhiwei said. As for whether it was her fault, she was not qualified to decide.

"Well, let's go out."

When we got outside, Cheng Shang was already back.

I don't know what Cheng Shang said. Guo Cuihua was sitting on the sofa with a heavy expression. When he saw them coming out, he probably wanted to stand up, but he didn't know what he thought of and sat back down.

Cheng Zhiwei and Cheng Zhiyin were sitting on the sofa next to them.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Finally, it was Guo Cuihua who said, "What happened?"

Cheng Zhiwei clenched his fingers and opened his mouth, but found that he could not open the mouth.

Cheng Zhiyin sighed: "Let me do the talking."

Guo Cuihua looked at her.

Cheng Zhi pursed his lips slightly and dug his nails into his palms.

Cheng Zhiyin said: "Many years ago, my father helped a person and hid his daughter away from his enemies when the person's daughter was just born. Later, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he lost his own daughter."

Guo Cuihua was stunned and stood up in disbelief, "What did you say?"

She looked at Cheng Zhiwei, her lips trembling.

Cheng Zhiwei didn't dare to look at him with such eyes, so she looked away.

Cheng Zhiyin continued: "Dad didn't dare to tell you, so he kept the matter a secret, but he kept looking for the girl. After many years, he finally found her and found that the child was in an orphanage, so he kept sponsoring her. She grew up and later decided to adopt her."

Guo Cuihua already understood and asked tremblingly: "Is it...Xu Zhenzhen?"

Cheng Zhiyin nodded with difficulty, "It's her."

Guo Cuihua's vision went dark and she fell down on the sofa.

No wonder Cheng Zhiwei suddenly wanted to move out, and no wonder Cheng Shang insisted on taking Xu Zhenzhen back to his hometown to start a family tree.

No wonder... for so many years, she always felt that Cheng Shang was partial to Xu Zhenzhen.

"Cuihua." Cheng Shang quickly supported Guo Cuihua, "I know you can't accept it, but I..."

"Shut up." Guo Cuihua held her forehead, her anger bursting out. She pushed Cheng Shang away, "You... what kind of stupid thing did you do..."

Cheng Shang felt guilty and said, "I didn't expect it either."

"That's our daughter." Guo Cuihua yelled sadly, "Cheng Shang, how could you do this? You lost your daughter without telling me, and you continued to hide her from me when you found her..."

Guo Cuihua was on the verge of collapse. The mixture of sadness and anger made her about to faint.

"I was going to find an opportunity to tell you, just recently, but I didn't know that something like that would happen." Cheng Shang said, looking at Cheng Zhiwei with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Cheng Zhiwei was frightened. She had long known that Cheng Shang would blame Xu Zhenzhen's death on her.

His face turned slightly pale.

"Cheng Shang." Guo Cuihua interrupted him sharply, "You haven't said a word about me for so many years. You are really nothing."

She scolded decisively.

"Yes, it's my fault." Cheng Shang actively admitted his mistake, but his next words completely put Cheng Zhiwei on the fire.

"I have been trying my best to make up for our daughter, thinking that we should be nicer to her, but Cheng Zhiwei is selfish and she can't tolerate Zhenzhen." Cheng Shang's eyes were red, and he finally couldn't restrain the hatred in his tone.

He even thought about keeping this secret hidden all the time, just to make mistakes.

He treated Cheng Zhiwei as his biological daughter and secretly made up for Xu Zhenzhen.

But Xu Zhenzhen died.
