As Gu shuling spoke, she looked up and saw Gu Nian coming down the stairs. Gu shuling immediately said excitedly,ââXiaonian, how could you leave with that Yu Gangan? do you know that she has bad intentions and is trying to drive a wedge between us?â
Gu Nian ignored her and looked at Zhu Yulu.ââMom, you knew everything, but you still agreed to let sister take me to have dinner with that President Xu?â
Zhu Yulu chuckled.âXiaonian, I didnât know that President Xu was that kind of person. I didnât want you to go for dinner either. However, my sister promised me that it was just a meal. I just wanted to have a meal. Who would have thought âŚâ
As Gu Nian listened, she began to feel a deep sense of disgust.
It was fine if he didnât know when he was abroad, but how could his mother not know when she was in the country?
This was the family she was talking about, and they would do anything to avoid a divorce. He asked in a trembling voice,ââMom, what am I to you?â
âWhat are you saying, child? Youâre my son!â Zhu Yulu frowned.
âSon? Do you really see me as your son? âIn your heart, am I not just a dispensable chess piece? if you really cared about me, you would not have agreed to take me out to dinner.âEven a sister Iâve only met a few times would come to take me away when she found out that I was having dinner with President Xu. And you guys are treating me like this?!â
âWhat did you just say? âDo you think weâre not as good to you as Yu Gangan is? you ungrateful wretch, I gave birth to you and raised you. Iâve suffered so much for you, but now youâre bewitched by a few words from that B * tch. If I knew this would happen, I wouldnât have given birth to you and let you take advantage of me.â Zhu Yulu cursed.
âYou gave birth to me to marry father. Otherwise, how could you have given birth to me?â Gu Nian blurted out as her face turned red.
For as long as he could remember, he knew that her mother didnât give birth to him because she loved him. He just didnât expect that one day she would tear it apart and tell him.
His entire body was filled with a powerlessness as if he had sunk into the depths of the ocean, submerged and devoured by the cold water.
âAre you blaming me for not giving birth to you?!â Zhu Yulu was furious when she heard her own son mention this. She could not help but slap Gu Nian across the face.
Gu Nian did not avoid it, nor did she have the time to.
Having received a solid slap, that fair and smooth little face immediately became red and swollen.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhu Yulu and Gu shuling indifferently. Then, he ran out without a word.
âWhere are you going?â Zhu Yulu shouted from behind.âCome back immediately!â
Gu Nian ignored Lin Yiqianâs order and left the suffocating house as quickly as he could.
It was late spring and early summer, and the wind was still a little chilly. He shivered and realized that he had come out in his slippers.
He wanted to look for Gu Chen.
Now, Gu Chen and Yu Gangan lived in the same neighborhood. As he walked, he realized that he had arrived in front of Yu Ganganâs house.
A car stopped in front of the apartment building, and a tall and handsome man got out. His well-ironed suit pants made his legs look straight and long, and his delicate features were cold under the street light.
The manâs cold gaze fell on Gu Nian, and Gu Nian felt an invisible pressure.
