Chapter 672 Her Past 2

Liu Zheng looked at her distressed and said lightly, "Miss Xu..."

"You have seen the newspaper, right?" Xu Ai said suddenly, lowering her head, her voice was very light, "These two days, the financial circle has been talking about this matter, even my background has been completely exposed, you must have seen it too."

Liu Zheng saw that Xu Ai's background was exposed by vicious reporters.

That is not a very good thing.

A background like that would be embarrassing for anyone.

She didn't even know who her father was.

"I have been thinking about how to escape from home since I was a child. I wish I could grow up overnight and stay far away from her, so far away that I can't find her." Xu Ai said softly, "In order to leave home and leave City A, I have made countless efforts. I even wanted to go to a school in another place, but the local school has a recommendation, and I need that money, so I chose a local university. I have never thought about leaving home and leaving her."

Liu Zheng saw her news, but he didn't say a word, probably to take care of her self-esteem.

He is really a very gentle and tolerant man.

Back then, how could she bear to hurt him.

"You never mentioned her." Liu Zheng said, thinking back to the days when they were in love, Xu Ai was always pale and malnourished, and she was always very frugal. He just thought that her financial situation was not good, and did not investigate further.

Once he saw a wound on her arm, she said she accidentally fell, and he believed it.

She never went home during holidays and always lived in school.

He was so careless that he didn't notice it because family was an abyss for her, and she would rather be alone in school.

"I am too ashamed to mention her. Apart from Da Qiao, my friends, my colleagues, and even Xiao Shu, I have never mentioned her. Maybe she is right. I am a heartless and ungrateful woman. A son does not dislike his mother's ugliness, but I despise her self-degradation and hate her abuse since childhood. I wish she would disappear forever and not appear in front of me to expose my darkest and ugliest side. I am very... very afraid of her. No matter how high I climb or how much I achieve, her words can bring me down to the abyss, so I won't mention her. Because I am inferior, with such a mother, such a background, and such a background, I am inferior, so inferior that I dare not mention it." Xu Ai's lowered eyes contained a trace of tears, and the eyes were blurred.

Tears burst out and fell on the back of his hand.

Liu Zheng's heart choked.

"Xu Ai, you..." Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, his heart ached, "You should tell me."

Did she leave him because she wanted to escape from home and her mother?

So, she wanted to go abroad.

Not to make a name for herself, but to get away from her mother.

So, she gave up on him.

"How can I say it? How can I tell you that I am a child with an unknown father? How can I tell you that I am the child of my mother who was raped? How can I tell you that my mother thinks I am a shame and has abused me since I was a child? How can I tell you that this city is a nightmare to me and I just want to escape from this city? How can I tell you that no matter how much love you give me, as long as this person appears, I will be immediately occupied by fear. I dare not tell you, I am afraid that you will show the face that my classmates have when they know my life experience. I am afraid to see a little contempt in your eyes. I am afraid to see a little disappointment in your eyes. I... can't afford the risk."
