Father Qin and Mother Qin turned as pale as paper. Only then did they realize that they had been kept in the dark all along, wronging Qin Zhizhi and inflicting irreparable harm upon her. Mother Qin, in particular, trembled with parted lips, wanting to say something, but it ultimately dissolved into a single sigh.
"Zhizhi, it is your father and I who failed you. We..." Father Qin's voice choked with emotion. He opened his arms, wanting to embrace his daughter, only to see Qin Zhizhi take a calm step back, avoiding his touch.
"Father, saying these things now is already too late." Qin Zhizhi's voice was calm, yet it radiated an unmistakable detachment. "I don't want to bring up the past anymore. I only hope that you can truly see clearly who is the one who genuinely treats you well."
