Actually, Gu Ruoyun had been mentally prepared for this. She knew that Dongfang Shaoze and her parents were not simply friends. However, she never thought that her mother would be a member of the Dongfang family!
Instantly, her clear eyes flashed with astonishment but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Mother is the Lady of the Dongfang family, why haven't I heard of her? Furthermore, if she's a member of the Dongfang family, why can't they protect her? "
Gu Ruoyun was extremely calm at this moment. So calm that Dongfang Shaoze felt a twinge of guilt.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect your mother. That year, when I received news of your mother's death, I rushed over to find the truth behind her death. However, I was intercepted by my father, your maternal grandfather, and sent back. You should know about the Three Great Authorities. Father did this... because he was afraid that the Dongfang family would be overthrown, although I don't agree with his actions."
How could a father not feel heartache over his sister's death? Even though Father had once admired Gu Tian, he had never wanted the two of them to be together. It was my sister who had insisted on staying with her lover and left the Dongfang family.
However, Father had too many misgivings. If my sister was still alive, Father would have done everything in his power to save her. However, she was already dead and he did not want to drag the Dongfang family into this...
Gu Ruoyun smiled. Her smile made Dongfang Shaoze's heart ache.
"The Dongfang family... Hehe, he was afraid of the Three Great Authorities so he allowed his own daughter to die an innocent death. Furthermore, after so many years, no one from the Dongfang family has ever looked for me. Even when I was beaten to death by the Gu family, no one stood up for me. If it wasn't for my good luck, perhaps... I would have died long ago."
Honestly speaking, she did not have a good impression of the Dongfang family. After all, the Dongfang family would know what kind of life she had lived for so many years. But? No one had ever stood up for her, never!
If someone had come, even if it was just to speak up for her, the Gu family would not have dared to treat her like that.
"Yun'er."
Dongfang Shaoze's heart ached. He raised his hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his arms. He held the slender girl tightly in his arms and lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Yun'er. I've come too late and caused you to suffer so much..."
The man's warm embrace softened Gu Ruoyun's heart. Regardless of what had happened to the Dongfang family, the man before her had undeniably helped her a lot.
She would remember this kindness.
"I don't have any good feelings towards the Dongfang Family. However, you will always be my uncle! Never change. "
The girl raised her head, her pretty face filled with determination.
At this moment, Dongfang Shaoze felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He raised his hand and stroked Gu Ruoyun's head, his eyes filled with a smile that could drown a person to death.
"Yun'er, perhaps your grandfather has his own concerns and is unable to do what he wants to do, but he truly loves your mother dearly. Also, remember this, no matter what happens in the future, even if the Dongfang family is unable to stand by your side, uncle will always support you."
Gu Ruoyun shrugged and blinked as she asked, "That's right, Uncle, you didn't come to find me for such a simple reason, did you? Did something happen to your Dongfang family? "
Dongfang Shaoze's heart gradually sank. He couldn't help but let out a sigh as he thought about the recent events.
