Chapter 178 - 179 He’s Heartbroken_1
Chenxing was almost driven by him to the brink, standing at the edge of the pond, the toe of one foot clinging to emptiness. One more step backward and she’d plunge into the pond.
The water in the pond was not deep, but not shallow either. It being winter, anyone falling in would surely freeze. Gu Shaocheng, unwilling for her to be cold or get hurt, had to compromise and said, "Okay, okay, don’t step back anymore, I’ll back off, I won’t grab you."
Then he quickly retreated ten steps, his gaze trained on her without blinking, not daring to withdraw too much for fear that she would have an accident while he was too far away to help.
Chenxing watched him warily—the murderer of her father!
"Let me go, let me leave this place!"
Chenxing’s voice was filled with pain.
Looking at her expression, Gu Shaocheng felt deep self-reproach, but how could he possibly let her go.
"Chenxing, calm down, listen to me explain."
"I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to hear anything, let me go, let me go now!"
"I don’t have the power to avenge my parents, but I also don’t want to stay with the man who killed my father. I can’t do it, I regret it so much. Why should I live with you!"
Chenxing shook her head non-stop, not wanting to hear any of his nonsense. He himself admitted that the file was true, he admitted to his crime. Why was he still trying to deceive her with all this nonsense?
Was God playing some kind of joke on her? Why would God play such a joke on her?
If it weren’t for her parents’ death, she wouldn’t be suffering like this. It turns out that all the disasters were bestowed by the man in front of her. The unfortunateness was given by the man before her! "You’re so cruel. How could you kill my parents? How could you make me an orphan? Gu Shaocheng, you’ll get your retribution!"
Chenxing clenched her fists, her long nails digging into the flesh of her palms, yet she couldn’t feel the pain. What could be more unbearable than hearing that the man you thought you could rely on was the one who killed your parents and made you an orphan?
"They’re not your real parents; your biological parents aren’t them. Chenxing, come to me. I’ll tell you everything. Be good, come to me."
If she moved again, she’d really end up in the pond. It was so cold, what if she fell in? It pained him to think about it.
"Shut up!"
"I don’t want to hear another word from you!"
"I’ll never believe you again! You liar! You devil! You scum! Even if I don’t have the power to avenge my parents, heaven will punish you!"
Gu Shaocheng felt completely helpless. He knew that anything he said to her now would fall on deaf ears. He was at his wits’ end about how to handle her.
Any explanation now would just be seen as lies and deception in her eyes!
Having no choice, he could only compromise: "Alright, I surrender, I lose to you, I’ll let you go. Take a few steps forward, don’t stay so close to the edge of the pond."
"When I say I’ll let you go, I mean it. Where do you want to go? Can you tell me where you can go? I’ll arrange for someone to take you there, would that be okay?"
"Be obedient, take two steps forward, don’t step backwards. You’ll fall."
"I want a car. I’ll drive off by myself. I want to leave here, leave right away." Chenxing’s voice fluctuated, full of wariness.
How Gu Shaocheng wished he could hold her in his arms and comfort her, but the person she wanted to distance herself most from now was him. He had to compromise, just to make her feel a little bit better.
