After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 123 Old Yan is just different

"Mm." Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "In fact, Zhen Guo has felt guilty for many years, and after you disappeared back then, Father-in-law was furious and almost beat Zhen Guo to death."

"I..." An Xin looked at Gu Fuqiao, her red lips moved slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

"All these years, your parents have always thought you were dead; to them, you are a permanent pain." As Gu Fuqiao spoke, she flipped out the photos Yan Zhen Guo found yesterday and handed them to An Xin.

The photo showed the two elders of the An Family. Although they still looked as youthful as before, it was noticeable that their hair had turned grey and wrinkles had multiplied.

The black and white photo added a touch of desolation.

"I... I..." An Xin felt so sad she could hardly speak, her grip on the photo tightened as she lightly brushed over the black and white photo.

Suddenly a teardrop fell onto the photo.

Seeing An Xin in such a state, Gu Fuqiao quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Sister An Xin, you don’t need to be sad; we still have a chance to fix things now."

"Fix... I’ve been gone for so many years, they all thought I was dead... I’m really unfilial... If I go back, wouldn’t I scare them to death?" An Xin said with some distress.

Just then, the store owner brought two bowls of porridge and pickled bun, seeing this situation, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Fuqiao received the items from the owner’s hands and said, "Personal matters, family matters, you go ahead and busy yourself!"

Seeing them deep in conversation, the owner left the items and walked away, as he had other customers to tend to.

Once the owner left, Gu Fuqiao sat directly next to An Xin and said, "Sister An Xin, we still have a chance to save this. There’s a saying that goes ’the tree wants to be still but the wind won’t stop, the child wants to be filial but the parents are gone’. You’ve missed ten years already, do you want to keep missing the coming years?"

"No..." An Xin shook her head, her swollen red eyes fixated on Gu Fuqiao.

"That’s good. You should go to the Capital now to see them; they’ll definitely be happy." Gu Fuqiao said.

"But I... I’ve been gone for so many years, my parents will be angry." An Xin said distressingly.

Gu Fuqiao gently shook her head and said, "Even if they are angry, so many years have passed, what can they do? Besides, they’ll be too heartbroken for you... If anything, you might just get scolded, there’s nothing insurmountable."

"Really?" An Xin asked sadly, looking at Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "If you’re really worried about what to do, we can just call them first and give them a heads up."

"Mm." An Xin nodded and said, "But there’s no phone nearby..."

"It’s fine, stay at my place for now, it’s not safe living outside alone with all kinds of strangers around." After saying this, Gu Fuqiao handed a bowl of porridge brought by the store owner to An Xin and said: "Sister An Xin, let’s eat first, after we finish, we can go home."

"Mm." An Xin nodded, reaching out to take the bowl of porridge from Gu Fuqiao.

After finishing their meal, Gu Fuqiao helped An Xin with her bicycle and took her back to the military compound.

Once back, Gu Fuqiao took An Xin to her home.

After crying in the morning, An Xin felt much better and shared with Gu Fuqiao many things from these past years. Back then, it wasn’t just a simple disfigurement, that man had almost raped her.

Though she managed to resist him, he still saw and touched everything he could.

An Xin felt she had lost her chastity and wasn’t fit to live in this world, but when she contemplated suicide, she hesitated and ultimately didn’t go through with it.

And so she lived on like this, barely scraping by.

Understanding the shadow that loomed over An Xin due to past events, Gu Fuqiao tried to console her: "Sister An Xin, that man has been dead for years, and he didn’t succeed, so your purity is intact, there’s no need to worry."

"Truly... Is it true?" An Xin asked sadly, looking at Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Whether from the perspective of physiology or academic textbooks, you are pure, there’s no doubt about it."

Time is indeed a sharp tool; although An Xin still felt fear when thinking of that night, after so many years, she couldn’t quite remember the faces of those hoodlums. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I’m just not sure... how my parents will view my actions all these years of not returning." As she spoke, An Xin grew worried again.

Gu Fuqiao continued to console An Xin.

The two of them talked like this until the afternoon.

When Yan Zhen Guo opened the door and saw An Xin at his house, he was a bit surprised but maintained his usual calm demeanor.

"An Xin, you’re here." After placing the keys into his pocket, Yan Zhen Guo asked.

An Xin nodded, having cried most of the day, seeing Yan Zhen Guo, an old acquaintance, her response wasn’t as agitated as before.

She stood up from the edge of the bed, looked at Yan Zhen Guo, and asked: "Brother Yan, my parents... have they been well these years?"

"Well... Outwardly, yes, but privately, thinking of you, life cannot have been too good." Yan Zhen Guo’s brief words made An Xin feel immense guilt.

She bowed her head slightly and said, "I’m the unfilial one... how can I go back like this, where do I have the face to see them?"

"No, you must go back." Yan Zhen Guo said, his tone firm.

Gu Fuqiao regretted bringing An Xin over after hearing Yan Zhen Guo’s tone, she had spent a whole day comforting An Xin, but what if Yan Zhen Guo said something rash and scared her away!

"An Xin, don’t listen to him talking nonsense..." Just as Gu Fuqiao was speaking, Yan Zhen Guo interrupted.

He looked at An Xin and said, "With you, the An Family is a complete family; now, do you think you need to go back?"

Hearing these words, An Xin trembled slightly, then looked at Yan Zhen Guo and nodded heavily, saying: "Brother Yan, you’re right, I must go back... It’s just, I don’t have a phone, can you call my parents?"

"Already called, they’re coming to pick you up tomorrow." Yan Zhen Guo said casually after speaking and then went out to the bathroom to bathe.

Gu Fuqiao listened in surprise, her eyes widened.

Yan Zhen Guo was indeed quick... She wasn’t even sure if she could convince An Xin, yet Yan Zhen Guo had already made the call...

Truly impressive!
