Chapter 953 Survivor’s Guilt

• Her eldest uncle’s gaze darkened as soon as he saw Hu Tu. He cast her a cold glance while demanding, “You'd better stay away from your mother if you even feel for her at all, after she had raised you all these years!” He went upstairs after having said so.
• Hu Tu stood by the stairs while gazing at her eldest uncle’s back, and she was feeling such a jumble of emotions that she could hardly breath. She wasn’t sure what she should or could do. She couldn’t console anyone, neither could she cry. She tucked herself in the corner of the stairs for the night without sleeping a wink.
• The mourning hall was set in her younger uncle’s house, but nobody noticed Hu Tu despite the brightly lit environment and the crowd gathered in his house. Ning Jian came in the morning. He was Ning Yu’an’s younger brother, so she wasn’t surprised to see him present for the occasion. She said nothing while looking at him from afar, and suppressed the lump in her throat before turning to shut herself into the storage room under the stairs.
