In the past five years, she had never felt as sad and desperate as she did now.

The floor was covered with cotton balls and gauze stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood made her nauseous.

In fact, Tu Haohao did rush to the bathroom and retch.

She felt that it was only a matter of time before the taut string in her brain snapped.

When she came out of the bathroom, the nurse had already left.

Ye Chengtao's face was pale, and there was a greenish tinge to it. Tu Haohao couldn't hear what the police outside the ward were saying.

She just stood by the bed in a daze, looking down at Ye Chengtao's face.

Suddenly, Tu Haohao felt tired. She didn't know what to think, but when she came back to her senses, she was already lying next to him.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Ye Chengtao's neck, sobbing. Ye Chengtao woke up to the sound of her crying.

His mind went blank for a moment, as if he had drunk too much. But very quickly, the memories came flooding back like water.

"Cry," Ye Chengtao said.

Tu Haohao cried even harder, and even the police outside the door were alarmed. They pushed the door open to take a look, then closed it again.

Ye Chengtao hugged her in his arms. That soft, thin body that he didn't cherish in the past trembled as she cried.

He sent away the Ye family members one after another, and in the end, he was the only one left.

Then, Ye Chengtao suddenly realized that the only thing he could rely on in this world was her.

Tu Haohao cried loudly, releasing the fatigue, fear, and pain that she had been suppressing in her heart.

"Alright, if you're tired, I'll take care of you … okay?"

"You once asked me if I've never had any thoughts about you?"

"I said no, I've never liked you. That was the most regrettable lie I've ever told in my life."

How could he not have?

"I don't have any family, I only have you …"

Ye Chengtao's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Alright, alright, I only have you."

He reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed her into his body and become one with her.

Tu Haohao closed her eyes, letting her tears slide down her cheeks and into Ye Chengtao's neck.

There was no throbbing, no joy. Tu Haohao had never felt such pain before.

She suddenly remembered the dream that she had once had.

— — Tu Haohao, I'm proud, but I also feel inferior. I have a bad temper and don't know how to respect others!

— — I'm like a spoiled child, I don't listen to anything people say.

— — I know, I'm really not likeable.

— — I want to ask you, if I'm like this … Miss Tu Haohao … will you be kind enough to take me in?

— — I'll be loyal to you, I'll give you the best in this world, and I won't let anyone hurt you. So please, have pity on me, okay?

— — Fool, but I still love you.

— — I love you.

— — I love you, Tu Haohao.

They missed each other in the best of times, and in the end, the two of them were scarred, and it was impossible for them to return to the good old days.

"I once had a dream." Her voice trembled slightly.

"In the dream, you said you loved me."

Suddenly, Ye Chengtao seemed to understand something, and he looked at Tu Haohao.

"I know it's not true, but do you know what the saddest thing is?"

"I clearly didn't want to wake up, but there was still a moth flying into the flame that ignited everything."

Tu Haohao paused for a long time before she spoke again.

"Ye Chengtao, you said you raised me, and you said you regretted it, but it was all because of guilt.

You and I both understand that a missed opportunity is a missed opportunity … "

Ye Chengtao shook his head. No, it wasn't because of guilt, but he was so sad that he couldn't say a word. He could only hug her even tighter.

"We can't go back."

She no longer had a heart that would risk everything for just one person, and she no longer had a healthy body.

If she left, then what should he do when he was all alone?

Knock, knock, knock. Outside the door, someone hurriedly knocked on it.

"Miss Tu, your grandfather has woken up and wants to see you …"

Inside the room, Ye Chengtao was still unwilling to let go of her, even if the wound that had just been treated was torn open again.

"Ye Chengtao, let go."

Tu Haohao knew that he would eventually let go.

The current Ye Chengtao, after all, had used five years to learn one thing, and that was to respect her.

Ye Chengtao let go.

Tu Haohao's back was facing him, and she quickly walked to the door.

When her trembling fingers held the door handle, Tu Haohao still turned back to look at him. That look contained too many complicated feelings.

"Ye Chengtao, you have to be well."

Not long after Su Xiaonian returned home, she received another call from Tu Haohao.

Tu Shaoxiong had woken up, and he asked to meet her.

At that time, Su Xiaonian was watching the news on TV about Ye Miya killing Ye Shuangshuang with a knife.

Even though the image was censored, the blood all over the ground was a tragic sight. It was shocking, and she almost dropped her phone.

Ye Zechen frowned and slowly turned around to look at Su Xiaonian …

When Su Xiaonian and Ye Zechen rushed back to the hospital, Tu Shaoxiong's condition wasn't optimistic.

The doctor had obviously told his family to prepare for the worst.

When she pushed open the door, the first person Su Xiaonian saw was Tu Haohao. She looked haggard, as if she had just cried.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to remain silent and walked to Tu Shaoxiong's bedside.

Tu Wanzhi was also there, but it was obvious that she had been called over in a hurry. Her eyes were filled with hatred and madness as she looked at Su Xiaonian.

Su Xiaonian found it ridiculous. What right did Tu Wanzhi have to hate her?

"I agree … to … all … conditions … I just beg you … to let the Tu family … go …"

Tu Shaoxiong's entire face collapsed. It was obvious that he was terminally ill, and he was only hanging on to his last breath.

Su Xiaonian looked at him expressionlessly.

Once upon a time, she hated the Tu family to the bone, but now, she only felt sad.

The Ye family had collapsed, and now it was the Tu family's turn.

"No matter what Chen Junhao said back then, I won't take anything related to the Tu family. As for the 13% of the Tu Group's shares under my name, I'll appoint a professional lawyer to take care of it. Don't worry, the Tu Group will still belong to the Tu family."

Su Xiaonian's voice was very cold. This was her usual attitude when facing the Tu family.

"I don't want it, sister. It belongs to you!" Tu Haohao did not expect Su Xiaonian to say that, so he quickly refused.

"It belongs to the Tu family!" Tu Wanzhi did not expect her daughter to refuse, and she looked at Su Xiaonian coldly.

Five years ago, she had endured inhumane torture in that basement. Even so, Tu Xinya did not let them off.

"Mom! Can you wake up! From the beginning to the end, be it me or Sister Xiaonian, we've both been sacrificed for the grudges of your ancestors! "

Tu Haohao was sick of this kind of life, especially when he knew that he did not have much time left.

"I'm not wrong! I'm not wrong! Tu Xinya is the one who is wrong. She has always been against me! "

As Tu Wanzhi spoke, she pulled off the mask on her face.

Her face was covered with crisscrossing scars. If one encountered her at night, one might really think that she was a ghost.

"If it wasn't for her, how could I have become like this?"

Tu Wanzhi glared at Su Xiaonian angrily as if she was another Tu Xinya, glaring at her maliciously.

Tu Shaoxiong's chest heaved violently, and it was getting harder for him to breathe.

If he was still healthy, he would definitely try to stop this increasingly fierce confrontation.

"That's because you had the intention to harm others first! As Haohao said, whether it is me, Ze Chen, Haohao or Ye Chengtao, we are all victims of the grudges of your ancestors. It was you who made us become like this, and from the beginning to the end, you have no intention of repentance! "

Perhaps it was not only Tu Wanzhi, even Ye Shuangshuang, Lu Dawei, Tu Xinya and the others firmly believed that everything they did was right and had no intention of repentance.

Their generation was like a symbol that was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Whether it was herself, Ze Chen, Haohao, Ye Chengtao … or even Chen Junhao, Chen Yuanyuan and Ye Miya, they would more or less reveal the shadow of these people.

"I'm not wrong. I want everything I want. What's wrong with that?!"

Tu Wanzhi seemed to have fallen into madness, but she stubbornly believed that she was not wrong.

Ye Zechen looked at Tu Wanzhi expressionlessly. She was not in a normal state, which made him wary.

"Stop talking!" Tu Haohao seemed to be unable to take it anymore. She had had enough of everything.

"I will officially resign from my position as Tu Shi. In my heart, everything I have should belong to Sister. Even if Sister Xiaonian doesn't want it, I don't want to live like this anymore!" Why couldn't Mom understand that a mistake was a mistake and that there was no use in trying to deny it?

Everyone was immersed in their own emotions. Other than Ye Zechen, no one else noticed anything strange about Tu Shaoxiong, who was lying on the bed.

Tu Shaoxiong seemed to have realized that his time was up, and his dry eyes were wide open.

He knew that Ye Zechen was looking at him, so he gestured for him to call the nurse. However, Ye Zechen only looked at him coldly.

The coldness in his eyes reached deep into one's heart, making one shiver uncontrollably! Ye Zechen had no intention of saving him at all.

Upon realizing this, Tu Shaoxiong seemed to have given up struggling, and his body started to twitch.

"Dad …" Tu Wanzhi sensed that something was wrong. She lowered her head to look at Tu Shaoxiong and screamed in fear.

Su Xiaonian could not help but frown.

"Dad, what will happen to Tu Shi if you die? Dad … "

Until now, Tu Wanzhi was still most concerned about Tu Shi?

Tu Shaoxiong's body twitched violently, and his eyes widened. Even the nurse did not have time to call for him. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of the instruments … his body straightened just like that …

Perhaps it was because he had faced too many casualties in a short period of time, but when Su Xiaonian opened the door to the corridor, he did not feel too sad or happy.

"What a joke." Su Xiaonian suddenly stopped in his tracks. It was hard to tell whether his expression was happy or sad, but it gave off a strong sense of exhaustion.

"They fought for their entire lives, but in the end, this is the end!"

Su Xiaonian sneered and buried his face in Ye Zechen's arms.

Was everything going to end? These people's gratitude and grudges, love and hate, love and hatred, in the end, had fallen into the ground and could not cause any more waves.

Ye Zechen did not say anything. He only stretched out his hand and caressed Su Xiaonian's soft hair.

His phone suddenly rang. Ye Zechen gestured to Su Xiaonian, then walked to the side and picked up the call with his back facing her.

Suddenly, the door to the ward was flung open from the inside.

Tu Wanzhi's face, riddled with scars, appeared in Su Xiaonian's line of sight. She walked toward her aggressively, a knife in her hand!

Su Xiaonian's pupils shrank. Everything happened in an instant. By the time Ye Zechen noticed it, Tu Wanzhi was already in front of Su Xiaonian!

"Su Xiaonian, I want your life!"

"Xiaonian …"

"Sis …"

Su Xiaonian heard a muffled sound. She subconsciously looked down at the blood that was gradually blooming on her clothes …
