Chapter 531: [June 5th Update] 10th Update
As her heart trembled, Gu Zixuan naturally understood what Brother Yu meant by these words, so she calmed her gaze and said very calmly, "I will send my parents and brother away. As for what the He Family wants to do, I leave it to them."In an instant, such a response made Yu Yuanshen furrow his brows tightly, "Zixuan! How can you think like that? Feng Chengjin may not necessarily be beyond help; with modern medicine so advanced, what could it not cure? The most important thing for you now is to ensure your own safety. Once he recovers, some things can be resolved! But before that, you must ensure you are safe, both you and your child!"
The overwhelming care and effort to match her with Feng Chengjin made Gu Zixuan choke up and tremble at this moment.
However, in despair, she still shook her head and said, "It’s impossible. Even if this hadn’t happened, we could never have married, Brother Yu. He owes me just an explanation, just a few years of instability. And what I owe him is the legacy of three generations and a living life!"
In an instant, Gu Zixuan covered her face and began to cry bitterly.
The surging tears left Yu Yuanshen shocked and stunned as he watched from start to finish. He had not mentioned it, He Qimo had not mentioned it, and when he asked Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, they had not mentioned it either. Yet Gu Zixuan managed to guess the entire truth on her own.
He didn’t know whether to be amazed at her terrifyingly high emotional intelligence in places where people couldn’t see, or to mock their own cleverness, always thinking to protect her, only to have her not need such protection whatsoever.
The result of protection was pushing her into a bottomless abyss.
Her heart tore and trembled fiercely.
How wronged was Gu Zixuan?
I’m afraid along this journey, no one but the closest ones would dare believe this fact.
But this is the reality of her life.
She spent her journey being hidden from the truth, and by the time she uncovered the answer, the calamity of the entire world crashed down upon her...
Gu Zixuan was in pain and agony, and Yu Yuanshen, with lowered eyelashes, took a cigarette and lit it, truly at a loss for what to do.
It was only during this brief moment of distraction between the two of them that they failed to notice a group of people rushing from the end of the corridor.
When they saw Gu Zixuan.
The leading woman trembled slightly, paused, and walked up a few steps.
As she lifted Gu Zixuan’s body, in the next instant, "Slap!"—a loud and crisp slap landed harshly!
...
The harsh slap somehow penetrated the entire hospital corridor, leaving the passing doctors and nurses momentarily stunned, even Feng Chengyue, shocked and unwilling, yelled, "Mom~~~"
He didn’t know.
Only knew that when he looked again, Gu Zixuan’s pretty and tender face now clearly bore the fresh red imprint of five fingers.
Yu Yuanshen was shocked when he saw it.
While quickly dropping the cigarette butt, he stood straight and said with a slight anger, "What does Mrs. Feng mean by this?"
"What do you mean, what do I mean! My husband and my son are currently lying in the emergency room, critically injured because of this woman, I may lose my husband and son today! What do you think I mean!" Ye Xilan’s eyes were bloodshot, with evident teary glimmers.
Having just come out from a consultation meeting and signed the surgical risk documents for the two men, she could not begin to describe her turbulent emotions at that moment.
Seeing Gu Zixuan’s face here crying fuelled boundless anger and despair.
Ye Xilan was so cold and stern that Yu Yuanshen was momentarily stunned and at a loss for words, after all... husband, son...
If Gu Zixuan’s pain from losing Feng Chengjin was intense, Ye Xilan’s pain was even more unimaginable...
Yu Yuanshen couldn’t say a word, so Ye Xilan gave a slight mocking smile and said, "Moreover, isn’t President Yu’s father an old friend of our Feng Family? What is it? Are you planning to disregard the decades-long friendship your fathers had and turn against your Aunt Ye for a woman today?"
Yu Yuanshen was ashamed, his face displaying an embarrassed look, rendering him unable to utter a single unnecessary word, only furrowing his brows, stating, "Yuanshen dares not."
Ye Xilan just scoffed coldly and continued to sweep her gaze, noting Yu Yuanshen’s apparent tension for Gu Zixuan, even colder and more mocking eyes upon her.
"Miss Gu, you’re quite something, having men of the He, Yu, and Feng families revolving around you, you have quite the charm..."
The sarcastic words made Yu Yuanshen more displeased towards Ye Xilan, but considering her situation, he found it indeed inconvenient to speak up.
Ye Xilan continued, "But I don’t care whether you’re Rong City’s first socialite, or a Heavenly Fairy Saintess, I just want you to understand one thing! Our Feng Family does not welcome you! We never will in this lifetime! If we must trace it back, starting from the first time you went on a blind date with our Cheng Jin and then pretended to be disdainful of him, our family grew to resent this kind of scheming, manipulative woman trying to win a man’s attention!"
So, this is how the Feng Family thought of her?
Gu Zixuan held her hot, swollen face blankly in her eyes.
Ye Xilan said, "And the second time we loathed you is when you led Cheng Jin to become so enamored by you, only to marry someone else! Gu Zixuan, people say one must have decency, especially a lady from a notable family should uphold her own dignity! What have you done? Sleeping with one man before marriage, and after that, marrying another man? And that marriage lasted eight years, later divorced, and then you come back to find our Cheng Jin? Miss Gu, have you ever thought about it, do you match his conditions in any way? What about your reputation? Your dignity? Don’t you want them?"
Yes, did she match?
Gu Zixuan stared into the air, thinking of all those times she daydreamed, fruitlessly trying to prove herself with work, her eyes growing even more desperate and vacant.
"And lastly, the third reason, Gu Zixuan, presumably you ought to know by now without my saying, you have not only ruined the Feng Family’s three-generation foundation but have also directly angered Cheng Jin’s grandfather to death. In the past eight years, how you’ve lived, the Feng Family doesn’t know, but I can clearly tell you, every day in our Feng Family was agony, in the days when Cheng Jin protected you too well, not even allowing us to know your name, every single person in our Feng Family had the thought of stripping you to the bone!"
