Zhao Zhenghao's voice kept echoing from behind.
"Grandfather, what do you mean by this, are you giving up on me too?"
"Grandfather—"
Fu Cai walked outside and glanced at Zhao Baoyan.
"They're insulting you, why aren't you talking back?"
"How could I? Isn't it the truth?"
After all, the title of 'illegitimate child' was placed on him even before he was born.
"The things she said were so awful."
Fu Cai didn't know the kind of environment Zhao Baoyan grew up in, but she couldn't stand being called such names; it could make her eat half a bowl less of her meal.
"If it's awful, I just won't listen."
"But your ears are on your body," Fu Cai said, and the man didn't respond.
They walked out of the hospital, the sky completely devoid of light. It was pitch black like a curtain had been drawn over it. Fu Cai looked at the bent shadow on the steps and lightly stepped on it.
"Caicai."
"Hmm." She responded absentmindedly.
"Do you regret it? Feel like you've been deceived."
