His eyes darkened, he didn't answer, and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a big golden retriever pounced on me, sniffed around me, jumped happily, and licked my face.

But, why does this golden retriever look so much like my previous dog, Cherry?

It's already old, but the look in its eyes is so similar.

It wasn't until I saw its docked tail that I realized, yes, it really is my Cherry.

"Cherry?"

The dog licked me even more happily.

"Is it really Cherry?"

Qi Yinghuai looked at me, somewhat reproachful, "Of course? Didn't it die."

I was suddenly angry at him and felt a bit confused, "What do you mean? Didn't my dad throw Cherry away?"

"You didn't know Cherry is with me?"

I shook my head, "How would I know if you didn't tell me?"

I was somewhat angry, we hadn't slept much for a month trying to find Cherry.

We searched every nook and cranny of this city.

And, it turns out, Cherry was here with Qi Yinghuai all along.

He took out his phone, opened QQ.

There was our chat record, he said: [Cherry is with me, don't worry, don't tell your tyrant dad.]

I quickly replied: [Okay.]

Qi Yinghuai: [How should we take care of him? Why not keep him in my house for now, until you graduate and rent a place, then take him back, it doesn't matter who takes care of him.]

Me: [Whatever, I don't want him anymore.]

Qi Yinghuai: [Don't want what? Cherry? Are you crazy?]

Me: [Yeah, don't want him, you can throw him away or eat him, up to you.]

Qi Yinghuai sent an angry emoji and didn't say anything else.

I had a big question mark in my head, when did I say such a thing?

Plus, Cherry was the dog I snatched back from a dog meat shop, spent all my pocket money on, took care of meticulously for three years, how could I possibly say such things.

"If not you, then who?"

A figure of a person came to mind, Gu Juan.

Besides him, there wouldn't be anyone else.

Qi Yinghuai sighed, "It's also my fault, when you were in a relationship, I didn't come to find you to confirm."

I was stunned, "Why were you angry?"

He realized he misspoke, blinked, and quickly turned to go inside the house, "Come in and sit, it's bloody cold."

The cherry tree was still there, Cherry was still alive, and it still remembered me.

I hugged it tightly, "I'm sorry it took me so long to come see you."

As I spoke, I started crying.

"Don't cry, there's still time for everything."

Yeah, it's as if nothing had changed.

At night, he and Cherry accompanied me home.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard my parents arguing again.

Luckily, I didn't let Qi Yinghuai come in.

My dad saw me come back, turned the spearhead towards me, "You really are useless, Gu Juan had a good opportunity to stay in the hospital, and you just gave it to Zhao Qiqi."

My mom immediately retorted, "If you like Gu Juan so much, why don't you go take care of him?"

My dad's face turned livid with anger, then continued, "I've met that Zhao Qiqi, she's better in every aspect than you, no wonder Gu Juan chose her."

My mom snorted, "Then why don't you be Zhao Qiqi's dad?"

My dad threw the lighter in his hand at my mom, and I joined in the fight.

After countless blows, when they were exhausted from fighting, I felt sad and my shoulders were very sore, with several scratches on my neck.

Just before going to bed, my mom suddenly came to me.

"Wanwan, what do you think about me divorcing your dad?"

I quickly nodded in agreement.

Every year on my birthday when I was little, my wish was always for them to divorce.

I didn't want to stay with either of them, I wanted to go to an orphanage.

They always started arguing because of me, fighting, blaming everything on me in the end.

If I were a bit more outstanding, they wouldn't fight.

If I were a bit more sensible, they wouldn't fight.

I didn't feel any love from them, not even a bit.

What kind of parents could make their daughter feel a bit of love?

They didn't want to split up, and said it was for my own good.

But, I didn't become better because of them, instead, I became more afraid to come home, more silent, and more cautious.

"Have you always wanted me to divorce your dad?"

"Yeah."

My mom stared at me, suddenly crying.

A week later, my parents went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, had a fight there, but managed to get a divorce.

I naturally moved out of the house.

Qi Yinghuai accompanied me in renting a house, we settled in, and then we had hotpot and watched a movie together.

As the movie ended, I suddenly wanted to know something.

"Earlier, Gu Juan's company was short of some investment, and it was quickly filled up, was that from you?"
