The slap Qi Lian delivered was so forceful that it drew blood; it must have been quite severe.
She never liked her much before, but now she felt some sympathy for her.
No one is born evil, and if she had turned out this way, it was entirely because her parents hadn't set a good example and hadn't taught her well.
With such parents, who couldn't tell right from wrong and were vain and pretentious, her education was destined to be twisted. But if it was the parents' fault, why did her own parents still treat her like that?
"No, it won't happen." Shu Jiao comforted her gently, "Jiaojiao, there are many pitiable people in this world, and there's only so much we can do. Take Qi Weixin, for instance. She has such parents, and there's nothing we can do about that. The most that mom can do is to pull Qi Lian from his position, to prevent him from harming more people. But beyond that, there's nothing else your mother can do."
