People Pleaser

"My granddaughter is quite amazing, is she not?" Zhao Moyao hummed, "She never sees that trait in herself. I blame her parents for the horrid way they raised her that ruined her. Her childhood was rough, but I'm sure you know that by now."

"I suppose you would say that I should partially blame myself. It was my cruel and detached behavior towards my son that made him a failure of a father."

Despite his words, Zhao Moyao did not regret anything. He did not regret his treatment towards his children, he did not regret abandoning his grandchildren, and he did not regret all of the times he beat his kids.

But the one thing he regretted, even if he would never admit it, was leaving Zhao Lifei in the hands of her parents. They had tarnished her beyond repair and even to this day, her scars ran deep, accompanying her all the way to adulthood.
