“The one who saved Yanchen back then was not Yang Sitong, it was Shi Guang…” Following that, Shen Lingshuang summarized the entire story for the two of them.

Mrs. Yang was dumbstruck, feeling as though she was struck by a thunderbolt while her entire body cramped up and she almost foamed at her mouth. She would have never imagined that Yang Sitong would not have left herself with any way out as she spilled the entire truth to the Lus.

“E-Even though she was not the one who jumped into the waters to save Lu Yanchen, she still sent him to the hospital! You guys can’t be that heartless!” Mrs. Yang’s eyes flickered with an undying resolution as she declared in a huff.

She suddenly knelt down and begged Chief Lu. “Chief Lu, please! Sitong has no father at all, and she has always taken you as her father for all these years! No matter what good things there are, she would always think of offering them to you! Please let her off this time around!”

Lu Yanchen spat out a single word, “IMPOSSIBLE!”

He did not give Chief Lu a chance to reply as he walked straight at Mrs. Yang who was absolutely rooted by the malicious fury that was exuding forth from him right now, seeming as though he could devastate her entire soul.

“Don’t worry though, she’s not going to die for now. The way she treated Shi Guang’s sister in the past? That’s how her fellow inmates will treat her. That’s the best outcome for her anyway.”

Mrs. Yang closed her eyes as her body swayed, seemingly about to faint.

Yang Chifeng remarked in shock, “Lu Yanchen! Don’t go overboard and be so cruel!”

Lu Yanchen scoffed.

“Overboard? Was she overboard to Mo Feifei? Cruel? In everything that had happened so far, she was not the one who was treated the most cruelly…!”

IT WAS HIS SHI GUANG!

That resilient and optimistic girl who always wore a smile on her face had fainted in pain and despair after hearing Yang Sitong’s declaration!

Who could empathize with her?

For such a commotion to break out in the courtyard, there was no way Shi Guang could remain unconscious. Staring at the ceiling in a daze for a good, long time, she finally sat up.

As she headed down, she caught sight of Mrs. Yang kneeling down before Chief Lu from the living room. She also saw Lu Yanchen standing in the middle all alone, as though he was in a battle holding the fort for her as her huge pillar of support.

Her eyes turned hazier as she walked out from the backdoor.

The guard greeted her immediately. However, this Shi Guang was unlike the usual Shi Guang as she did not reply that greeting with her smile, merely walking forward blankly… seeming somewhat out of sorts.

At a crossroad, she stood there in a daze before boarding a taxi. Stopping at a mountain near a suburb, Shi Guang bought some incense from a nearby shop after alighting before following a narrow mountain path up.

There were many tombstones along the way.

Suddenly, she came to a stop and stood there in a daze for a good, long time. Finally, she bolstered her courage and came before a joint tombstone belonging to her parents.

Kneeling down, she started burning the incense she had bought earlier on.

Even after they were burnt up, she continued kneeling. It didn’t matter if her legs hurt or were numb, she just continued to kneel.

Just like that, she lowered her head and placed both hands on her knelt legs, eyes fixated on the picture of her parents on the tombstone without budging an inch.

It was only after a long time later that she let out a deep sigh. Burying her face in her hands, her shoulders quivered slightly before the gentle sniffs of a cry drifted out…

She was not someone who loved wallowing in the dregs of the past. After all these years, she had already learned to adjust and adapt. But, everything that had happened today was way too heavy for her to endure.

There were probably few in this world who could relate with everything she was feeling right now…
