——The Chu Family——
The living room fell silent.
Chu Xu lowered his gaze. His face, usually as gentle as polished jade, looked haggard.
"I am not feeling unwell."
"I just feel a bit tired."
"Too many things have happened lately."
"Xiaowang was actually right. When Xiao Zhao needed help the most, I failed to stand up and speak the truth, failed to clear her name..."
"I am not a good brother."
Chu Zhang’s cold expression softened slightly. He patted Chu Xu on the shoulder. "You shouldn't blame yourself for that. Don't be so hard on you."
"Besides, didn't things get cleared up in the end?"
"..." But Song Huichun, whom Chu Zhao regarded as family, was dead.

Chu Xu’s lips trembled, but in the end, he did not voice his inner thoughts.
