Upon mentioning that, Yao Guizhen immediately steeled her expression.

“Qin Yan, please relax. I’ve prepared the amount of money needed. I’m tired, and I want to rest.”

Qin Yan was not happy, and she was dragged away by Su Yu.

Su Bei stood there with feelings in her heart she could not speak out loud.

“Beibei, kneel down in front of Big Sister’s bier. Until I tell you to get up, kneel there as long as possible,” Yao Guizhen said.

“Mom! Why are you making me do this?” Su Bei looked at her in shock.

“If you’re not willing to do that, get out of the house,” Yao Guizhen said cruelly.

She was white with anger and after she said this, she fell down onto the sofa.

Su Bei immediately nodded. “I’ll go. I’ll go.”

It was pitch-black that night.

In front of her sister’s bier, Su Bei’s tears did not stop flowing out of her eyes.

She held a photo of her and her sister, and her sadness overwhelmed her.

Sister had always been so beautiful and smart.

Out of the four siblings, Sister was the best of them all.

That year, she successfully entered Qinghua University, shocking the entire neighborhood.

As if it was Chinese New Year, wave after wave of people came to congratulate her.

If not to reduce her burden on the family, she would definitely have studied abroad.

After graduating, she applied for a translator position at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with her results as the nation’s top scorer.

At that time, the family had nothing to worry about.

Sister was always like that, an economic pillar of the family.

After that, Sister fell in love.

The grandness of the wedding shocked the entire Liang City. It was magnificent and grand.

On the day of observance, she sat on the grass fields while enjoying the Malaysian sea breezes and the fragrance of flowers.

The groom was rich and powerful, and they rented the entire island.

She was envious of Sister deep down, and she wanted a grand wedding just like hers too.

A mocking smile appeared on her face, and finally, her wish came true.

And she destroyed her youth in the process!

Sister was always nice to her, and she would always buy lots of good food for her.

Sister had always told her that it was her wish that she would marry someone who truly loves her.

However, she had let her down in the end.

Yao Guizhen covered the blanket on Su Bei’s body and reached out her hand to caress her daughter’s pale, thin face.

Her eyes were filled with tears of sorrow and pain.

“Let the child rest inside. What if she gets a cold?” Grandma Su stood at the door.

Yao Guizhen did not respond. “Mom, are you blaming it on me too?”

“I know you’re afraid of her choosing the wrong path. However, can’t you understand your own child? She would not make the same mistake twice.”

Tears flowed from Yao Guizhen’s eyes, and she spoke with a shaky tone. “Mom, what I’m afraid of is not that she would choose the wrong path. It’s… she would end up like Nannan, unable to come back!”

It was still fine to choose the wrong path. The thing she was worried about was there would be no coming back after she chose the wrong path!

Grandma Su wiped her tears. “I know it’s tough on you!”

Yao Guizhen too wiped her tears. “Beibei, let’s get in the house.”

Su Bei opened her eyes wearily. “Mom, are you crying?”

“No!” Yao Guizhen got up and left.

“Grandma, what happened to Mom?” Su Bei grabbed the mat placed on her body and walked towards Grandma Su.

Grandma Su patted her head, her eyes full of sorrow. “Good girl, don’t blame everything on your mother. She just wanted the best for you.”

Su Bei shook her head, “Grandma, I won’t.”

“Get some rest inside. It’s cold at night. Get a blanket,” Grandma Su said.

Su Bei nodded.
