If it were only his own affairs, he wouldn't care. He would be willing to forgive and shield his beloved younger brother.
But now, lying injured in bed, almost losing her life, is his aunt. If he were to protect Qu Tianyi, he would be letting down his aunt's family for all they have done for him over the years.
He has achieved great success, reaching this supreme position.
Yet his aunt's family will have to leave here, and won't stay to enjoy this immense glory with him.
He already owes his aunt far too much. If he were to shield the culprit who injured her, then he would be worse than a beast.
Jian Shichu simply glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and left with Ye Qingci.
Qu Tianchen stood there, looking at his departing silhouette, his heart filled with indescribable bitterness.
Even now he still doesn't understand, why did Qu Tianyi want to place people by his cousin's side?
Was it a misunderstanding, or was there some ulterior motive?
