He hummed quietly and continued, “After that, he married my mother, who had always loved him.
Since mum came from an influential family, he used their connection to overcome the crisis.
Their relationship has always been distant, but they were at least courteous to each other.
Mum was satisfied, though.
She was willing to wait for over a decade to marry the man she loved and treated Lin Kang as family too.
However…”

Gu Jinzhi stopped there.

Wen He could imagine what happened after that.

The relationship between stepmothers and their stepchildren would always be challenging.
Effort from both sides was necessary to maintain harmony in the family.

“Lin Kang hated mum.
He thought she had replaced his own mother’s place in the family and treated her harshly, but that was only to be expected.
It was only after I was born that the Lin family descended into chaos.
They were always arguing and fighting, until ten years ago… when I turned fifteen.”

Gu Jinzhi spoke with a calm and plain voice, as though he was narrating a story that was not his own.

Every word felt like a physical blow to his body, but he showed none of the pain he was enduring.

“Lin Kang killed my mother.”

!!

Wen He stared wide-eyed at him and gasped, “What?!”

“On that fateful day, mum and dad were arguing over something when Lin Kang crashed a flower vase on mum’s head.
He even stopped people from calling the ambulance.
My mother slowly bled to death.”

Lin Kang’s voice turned flat.
“When I came back from school and saw what happened, I tried to call the police.
However, Lin Kang and Lin Yuntian tied me up and locked me in the basement.”

Wen He asked anxiously, “What happened after that?”

“There is no ‘after’.” Gu Jinzhi’s voice turned dead as he said, “I escaped and broke off from the Lin family.”

“Oh…”

Wen He hummed and felt at a loss.

She thought that he had left certain details out.

“Lin Kang is a bane to the world, burning him alive was the least you can do.
That useless father of yours is also such a pig.
Why did he marry someone that he didn’t love? Not only did he use her, but he even caused her death! So, why did you not call the police after that?”

“It was useless.”

Back then, he had no power to fight against the Lin family.

He had waited patiently for one full decade before he perfected the strike that would take the family out for good.

“That’s true.”

Wen He sighed and felt sympathetic for him.
She never imagined that a graceful and aristocratic young man like him had such a sorrowful past.

“Don’t you worry.
When we get back, I will tie your father up and let him experience all eighteen levels of hell!”

She spoke with deadly resolution.

Gu Jinzhi could almost see her menacing expression and felt warmed by her support.

“Alright.”

A cough came up and he covered his mouth with his right hand.
He felt his right palm turn wet but ignored the implications behind it.

After that, Wen He and Gu Jinzhi continued chatting idly.

Minutes, then hours, passed.
Soon, Wen He felt fatigue and hunger.

She was also starting to feel a chill over her body.
Her mind felt sluggish as she muttered, “Gu Jinzhi, I’m so sleepy…”

Gu Jinzhi was taken aback.
He searched with his arm and finally found her wrist.

“Wen He, don’t fall asleep!”
