"I… don't want him to come back to our lives," said Xie Wanyu. "It wasn't easy for Grandma and me to build a life. We never got any peace because of him!"
Luan Rongrong hugged Xie Wanyu.
"Grandma told me that a good person takes accountability for their mistakes and works to be better. No matter how old I get, I don't have to be afraid to share whatever I do with her. She'll always understand and forgive me even if no one else can," said Luan Rongrong. "By that logic, our parents might have made a mistake in their lives too. Shouldn't we give them a chance if they want to change?"
Xie Wanyu envied Luan Rongrong for having such an optimistic grandmother, but she wasn't like her. Her whole life had been one nightmare after another. She just wanted to study hard and become someone successful in her life so that she could leave everything behind and start over. It was hard to step out of the shadow her parents had cast over her. She wished her father would never come back.
