"Yuehong, let's go home!" Fu Shuzhen called loudly as they passed by the small playground on their way down the stairs.
"My mom's calling me, I'll see you next time!" Gu Yuehong patted Ping Simin's hand and left with a smile.
Ping Simin finally looked up only when she couldn't see them anymore, her eyes bloodshot. The hand that Gu Yuehong had just held was being intensely wiped on the basketball hoop, almost to the point of bleeding.

"Mom." When Ping Simin returned home, she rushed into Zhu Meihua's embrace. She didn't cry, but the blow had been even more severe.
Zhu Meihua gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be sad, Mom will get revenge for you."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Do you want to take revenge?"
"Of course I do, I don't want to let Gu Yunbo or Gu Yuehong off the hook," Ping Simin said bitterly.
"Good! Then we will take revenge. Gu Family, this is your own doing."
