"Xiao’en." Lan Li finally spoke up, "Over the years, you’ve done quite a few wrong things. Reflect on your behavior while you’re in here, and hopefully, when you come out in five years, you’ll be more obedient."

"Reflect? What is there for me to reflect on?" Gu En sneered coldly, "I just hate that back then, I failed to kill them!"

"Them?" Lan Li furrowed his brows, "Aside from Zhou Hongjin, who else did you want to kill?"

"At this point, is there any need for me to tell you? You all say it’s my, Gu En’s, fault, so let it all be my fault then!

Since I’ve already made mistakes, what’s there left to say?

" Gu En sneered repeatedly, "Speaking of which, the hands of the Gu Family aren’t much cleaner than mine.

The things I did, the Gu Family and the Lan Family have done no less, right?

How is it that when it comes to me, you all act like gods, casting judgment on me? "

"Xiao’en!" Lan Li’s tone slightly changed, carrying a hint of anger, "You are the daughter of the Gu Family; the affairs of the Gu Family and the Lan Family are not for you to meddle in! Your role is just to be the daughter of the Gu Family, not to act like a conscienceless beast, becoming an Executioner who recklessly takes other people’s lives! "

"This society is inherently cruel! Whoever has the power, whoever stands at the top, gets to enjoy the good life! Isn’t that the way it is?

" Gu En retorted sharply, then her expression gradually darkened, "The Gu Family, ready to discard me at the drop of a hat! Isn’t that cold-hearted? I, Gu En, was adopted by the Gu Family, at their beck and call? When they need me, they treat me well? And when they don’t, they kick me away like trash? "

"If you insist on thinking that way, then me coming to visit you today was a mistake," Lan Li stood up and walked away.

"Brother Lan Li!" Gu En roared lowly, "I will make you all regret treating me this way! Absolutely! Even if I’m in this sunless cell, I will definitely make you all regret it! I’m already like this, I have nothing to look forward to in this life, I’m not afraid, even if it means throwing away my life! "

"You~" Lan Li turned back to look at the face behind the iron bars, it was ferocious, like an ugly beast, and after a long moment, Lan Li only said four words, "Utterly unreasonable." Then he left the prison directly.

At the Ding Family table, the five members of the Ding Family ate their meal, each lost in thought.

A little girl of a few years old was throwing a tantrum, refusing to eat. Her little hands slammed the table as if it wouldn’t hurt, creating a noisy clank.

"If you won’t eat, then get lost! The girl has the manners of a wild child!" Father Ding glared at the little girl with a face full of disgust, as if the little girl had nothing to do with him, lacking the affectionate gaze a grandfather should have towards his granddaughter.

"Father doesn’t like this child, naturally, whatever she does seems unruly in his eyes." Ding Jinshi picked up her daughter coolly, holding her in her arms.

A three-year-old isn’t entirely clueless, at least she knows who likes her and who doesn’t. A three-year-old, basking in parental love, doesn’t know how to hold back, so she doesn’t like those who dislike her, and will openly defy them.

"Nasty old man!" The little girl muttered in her mother’s embrace, her milky voice cursing. That single sentence stunned everyone at the table.
