Cankong suddenly asked, "Where did you go in the morning?"
"Me? Talking to me? " Chang Mo looked confused. "Where could I have gone? Didn't you ask me to stay at the hotel and be prepared to leave at any time? Of course, I've been waiting for you at the hotel. "
"Do you think I'll believe you if you say that?" Cankong unceremoniously exposed Chang Mo's lie.
Chang Mo changed his attitude quickly. "It's up to you to believe me or not. Why must I make you believe me? Wasn't I at the hotel when you came back? What's there to be suspicious about? What right do you have to suspect me? "
"Chang Mo, I'm not suspecting you. I'm just worried about you!" Cankong said. He knew that Chang Mo definitely did not stay at the hotel obediently.
"Worried about me? What a nice way to put it! But why do I feel like you're just looking for trouble? You're always picking on me, aren't you? " Chang Mo was unconvinced. "What right do you have? How did I offend you? Tell me clearly. Why do I need you to worry about me? Aren't I perfectly fine now? "
Cankong was speechless. Every time he wanted to say something to Chang Mo, Chang Mo would have thousands of words waiting for him to say. He really couldn't win against Chang Mo in an argument.
"Chang Mo, don't argue. We all know you. You can't hide your abnormality from us. " Ci Li also spoke up. "If you really stayed at the hotel the whole time, you would have complained when we came back … But you didn't react at all. We won't believe you if you say you didn't go out."
"You're all talking about me?" Chang Mo was angry. "Why do I have to be restricted and controlled by you after I came out? Nian Ye, look at them. They're all talking about me. Before we came out, dad told you to take care of me. Did you see that? I've become the target of everyone's criticism after being taken care of by you. "
Nian Ye did not speak up for Chang Mo in this matter. He only shook his head helplessly.
"They're not talking about you. They're just concerned about you. They don't mean anything else. "Jie Yi had always been a man of few words. He had no choice but to speak up.
"You're concerned about me so you left me alone at the hotel," Chang Mo said. Chang Mo said, "I think you guys are just trying to exclude me. You don't let me participate in anything, and you still have the nerve to say that you care about me."
Nian Ye looked at Chang Mo exasperatedly. "Chang Mo, what are you talking about? We were afraid that you would be in danger, so we did this. How could we ostracize you? You are our little sister in our eyes, do you understand? "
"Can I say I don't understand?" Chang Mo said, "I came out to do something. I also came out for a mission. You clearly know this, but why don't you want me to get involved in anything?"
Remnant remained silent for a while, "Because we can't fail every single mission. This isn't a small matter. Changmo, do you understand what failure means?"
"I'll fail if I do it? If you don't give me a chance, then I won't be able to do anything in the future! "Chang Mo couldn't understand.
It was as if Remnant didn't understand why their father wanted them to bring Chang Mo out. "Do you know, when father asked you to come out with us to do this mission, I talked to father for an entire night. I kept hoping that father would take back his words and not let you come out."
"Unfortunately, you didn't get your way." Chang Mo was a little resentful. Why couldn't she come out to do something?
"We were really worried about you," Nian Ye said again.
"If I tell you now that even father wavered at that time, you definitely wouldn't believe me." Remnant said, "But that's the truth. Father wanted to take back his words and not let you come out with us … But later on, father asked me something. He asked me if I could guarantee your safety if you came out with us."
Everyone fell silent.
Remnant looked at Chang Mo and said seriously, "I said, if you come with us, even if I have to sacrifice my own life, the lives of Gu Li, Nian Ye, Jie Yi, and everyone else … I'll guarantee your safety."
The air in the room seemed to freeze. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was terrifying.
"Because of what I said, father made the final decision to let us bring you out," Remnant said calmly.
Chang Mo also calmed down. She really didn't expect Remnant to say something like that. She really didn't expect Remnant to be willing to sacrifice his own life and everyone else's to protect her.
"You're father's youngest daughter." Remnant took a deep breath. "When you were brought to us, you were only seven years old … Do you still remember what you looked like at that time?"
Chang Mo's body trembled. That was the memory she wanted to erase the most in her life, but she could never erase it! Because that memory was deeply ingrained in her bones. She would carry that memory with her forever.
Even though the evil mark on her body had been removed forever by the best skin transplant specialist her father had hired, she would still feel a faint pain in her shoulder in the middle of the night.
Life was like this. Once something happened, it would never be erased. No one could completely forget the past. Especially when it came to the heart-wrenching pain.
Many times, people would use chicken soup for the soul to comfort their pain. They would say that time could erase everything, that time could make people forget everything … But was it really possible? Time could alleviate a person's pain and lessen the impression they had of their memories.
However, time could never erase the things that were deeply ingrained in one's bones.
Pain that could be erased by time could not be considered pain. At most, it was just a small bump in life. True pain could always be deeply ingrained in one's bones and could never be erased.
"Back then, our hearts ached when we saw you," Remnant continued. Cankong continued, "At that moment, all of us had treated you as our closest little sister. It wasn't just Nian Ye, every single one of us had treated you like a treasure in the palm of our hands. We didn't want you to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance or hurt."
"Don't say anymore," Chang Mo said calmly. The weakest part of her heart had been stabbed.
Nian Ye said, "Chang Mo, perhaps in your eyes, Remnant has always been harsh to you and always likes to discipline you. However, he really cares about you … Do you still remember that time when you went to the primitive forest in the Amazon? Father said that you were the best at surviving in the wild among us … However, after you entered the forest that time, father immediately sent Remnant to protect you in secret. "
Chang Mo was very shocked when she heard this news.
"I didn't do anything unnecessary. You were the one who faced many dangers and crises." Remnant did not seem to want Nian Ye to bring up this matter. "Nian Ye, don't say anymore."
"I know that you were only protecting her in secret. You didn't interfere with her training her survival skills." Nian Ye said, "I just wanted to tell her that all of us cared about her. It was just that we used different methods. It wasn't just you. There was also Gu Li. That time when Chang Mo was accidentally attacked by a taipan snake, it was Gu Li who sucked the venom out of her leg! Chang Mo, do you know how terrifying the taipan snake's venom is? Do you know? "
"It's all in the past." Gu Li waved her hand. "Why are you talking about this now?"
"Of course I have to talk about it. If you hadn't treated her wound in time and injected the taipan snake antivenom into her, she would have died long ago!" Nian Ye said, "As for you, after you saved her, you were bleeding from all seven orifices because of the venom's corrosion! If father hadn't arrived in time, you would have gone to hell long ago! "
Nian Ye's emotions were a little agitated. "Hasn't Jie Xu also silently protected you time and time again! Chang Mo, on the other hand, I'm just taking care of your life. I haven't done anything for you but you think that I'm the only one who loves you the most … Actually, that's not the case. No matter how we are, we've always treated you as our little sister! You're the little sister that all of us are willing to use our lives to protect! Do you know that?! "
Chang Mo really did not expect that they had always protected her like this. Two streams of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.
To be honest, Chang Mo really did not know about these things. She had only found out about it today. She had always thought that they were controlling her too much. However, she did not know that they loved her even more.
