Chapter 259 - 261: So You Want to Draw a Clear Line with Me?_1
"Gu Shaocheng, please stop, I really can’t accept this."
Why can’t she accept it!
He had already said he was willing to give her time to gradually come to terms with it!
But refusing to even try and decisively sentencing him to a dead end?
Gu Shaocheng stared deeply into her eyes. Chenxing hurriedly closed her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.
Her heart was like a calm lake, and he insisted on throwing stones into it, stirring up ripples that she could not ward off.
However—
"Could you let me go?" She didn’t want to keep drowning in his arms.
Hearing her words, Gu Shaocheng took a deep breath and hid his disappointment, reluctantly letting her go.
He also promptly stood up from the sofa, his back turned to her as he tried to manage his emotions. He couldn’t reduce himself to pleading with her! Annoyed, he turned to the earnest servants and the butler. "All of you, leave!"
The butler subtly wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Sir, Miss Chenxing just woke up, she hasn’t eaten anything yet. The meal is already prepared."
"Gu Shaocheng, I want to go to City T, to cooperate with doctors to treat my... my mother."
"I can arrange for someone to take you there." Gu Shaocheng shoved his hands into his pockets, returning to his serious demeanor in a blink of an eye. There was no sign that he had been rejected yet again.
"No, that’s not what I meant." Chenxing bit her lip, "I want to go on my own and live there, until my... until my mom recovers."
She still felt uncomfortable calling her ’mom’.
How could that be?
Wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t be able to see her?
Gu Shaocheng quickly reconsidered, "There’s no need for all that hassle, I can bring your mom here, to the psychiatric hospital here, and hire the best experts to treat her. You don’t have to move there."
"I’ve made up my mind; I no longer wish to stay at the Gu family household or be a bother to you anymore." She thought, as far as possible avoiding contacts, breaking all ties, "I’ve already troubled you enough."
"So, after all that, you want to completely dissociate yourself from me?" Gu Shaocheng’s voice suddenly turned icy cold, like a winter blast. Was she severing all ties just moments after being ensnared by his kiss? Gu Shaocheng clenched his fist. His patience was worn thin! The suppressed anger surged out, "Not bother me? Where would you get the money to treat your mother? Where would you get the money to send your grandmother to a new nursing home? Do not bother me, do you think you would survive in society? Don’t forget, you don’t even have a college degree, and can’t find a decent job!"
He was infuriated!
Chenxing felt utterly humiliated. She stubbornly lifted her head and met his gaze, not wishing him to see her clearly, let alone let him belittle her. "I can be a nurse, I can survive!"
"A nurse? That’s a laugh, you have the qualifications to take the nurse’s exam? Do you think this is a UN peacekeeping force? Without a nursing qualification in Canada, do you think any hospital would hire you?"
Chenxing became a little agitated: "I can take the test!"
"Fine then, you go and take the exam. Even if you pass, without connections, what kind of good hospital can you get into? Even if you manage to do that, how much do you think you will earn in a month? That’s probably not even enough to cover your own rent. What money will you use to pay for your mother’s expensive treatment costs? Let me tell you, with your mother’s condition, to get better, it will cost at least 200,000 Canadian Dollars. Even if you worked as a nurse for five years, you still wouldn’t be able to afford it!"
