Tan You's lips curled into a smile. She pushed the small box over to Xu Liang. "Then I'll leave it to you. Some things just have to be put to rest."
Aunt Shen said resentfully, "That uncle and aunt of yours are truly difficult people."
Tan You replied, "Whether they're easy to get along with or not, it doesn't matter. They're not here, and we'll probably never see them again. But some things are just unacceptable. They're like leeches—even if they're not that harmful, it's disgusting once they latch onto you."
Xu Liang took Ji Li's small box and holed up in the guest room. He quickly edited a first cut. Ji Li's parents had died in an accident when she was sixteen, and she had barely managed to finish high school.
Fortunately, her grades were good, and she got into an out-of-town university. Otherwise, what would have become of Ji Li today? It was something no one dared to imagine.
