The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 773: Chapter 774: The Cold War Erupts Again 7

He cried, he who seldom shed tears, once again wept in front of her.

Mo Ran tightly covered his mouth, tears silently streaming down.

It took a while before she could steady her own emotions.

"Actually, I’m just like you, I’m also very greedy. No matter how much love you give me, I’ll never be satisfied. I know you did the right thing regarding Gao Zhenzhen’s issue, but I just can’t help feeling unhappy, uncomfortable. I’m used to your dominance, used to your decisiveness in dealing with things, and even more used to you holding me in the palm of your hand, giving me meticulous protection, never allowing anyone to hurt me easily."

"But Gao Zhenzhen hurt me, and you let her off easily, that made me very dissatisfied. I’m not asking you to punish her, I just wanted to see your attitude, at the very least you could have forced her to come and apologize to me. Or you could have just said in front of me how much you dislike her, but you did none of these!"

"You even, still agreed to her request, to hug her... With such an outcome, do you think I would be pleased? The feeling you give me is that your loyalty is elsewhere, that I’m not as important as her!"

Gu Yixuan was shocked, he had never known that letting Gao Zhenzhen off so easily could cause her so much pain.

Mo Ran continued to vent, "You told me, you didn’t report her crime to the police because even if she went in, she would come out, so you thought it was unnecessary to send her there."

"I know, in your world there is no law, no morality. But in my world, there is! In my eyes, she is a murderer, a woman cruel and vicious!"

"An innocent old man was killed by her, yet she roams free without consequence, no matter who it is, they would feel the injustice. I am also a victim, I know the feeling of being wronged, how aggrieved, how uncomfortable it is. It is because I can empathize, that I am not satisfied with the way you handled it."

"What you said to me made me overthink. Could it be that all people with money and power are so arrogant and disregard the law? The old man and I are both victims, his fate was worse than mine, even dying with an unredressed injustice. I am better off, because you saved me in time, and you avenged me."

"But then I thought, what would have been my fate if you hadn’t helped me? What would I have been? I realized, all the special treatment I enjoy, it’s all given by you. Without you, I am nothing."
