823 Meeting the Parents (8)

Seven years. From her naivety back then, to her maturity now, she gave him her very best.

She came from a poor background, a small mountain village. Even if she did sell her body to save her father, she was, after all, a woman who had sold herself... So how could she possibly be worthy of young master Xu, who was brought up by a rich and powerful family?

She could only blame herself for such an ending. She indulged in her own wild fantasies. It was all wishful thinking.
