The door closed with a click, and Xu Nanxing allowed herself to cry. She didn't know why she was like this. She came to beg him tonight, but in the end it turned into hurting each other.
That incident eventually became a thorn in their hearts. Even if they were pulled out, it would leave a wound that could not be healed. Blood would flow out whenever they thought of it...
That was the time when my mother was just diagnosed with lung cancer. She searched everywhere for treatment, and finally found a private hospital in Haizhou that was said to have a cure rate of 80%. She took advantage of her weekend break to go there.
I was still suspicious, but I found out after arriving that it was a wholly-owned hospital affiliated with the famous Shen Group, and experts from various fields in the country were invited for rotation every week. Although the cost of medical treatment is not low, it is said that patients waiting in line to make appointments with specialists have been waiting for three months.
After seeing it, she thought about taking her mother to have a consultation.
Treatment requires money. She had already worked three part-time jobs at the time, but the money was only enough to support her school expenses. Her part-time job alone was not enough to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
She thought of what her grandmother had said that even though her father was found to be secondarily responsible for the accident, the party responsible for the accident also paid corresponding compensation. This money should be enough to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
She went home and mentioned it to her mother, but her mother remained silent and kept saying that she knew her body, didn't need to waste any effort, and didn't want treatment.
She felt surprised and secretly asked her sister. She said she didn't know, but the hesitation in her words also made her feel something was wrong.
At that time, her grandmother had just passed away. She contacted her uncle and asked him if he knew what happened to her father back then. Her uncle pondered on the phone for a long time before telling her.
It turned out that her mother had secretly given her uncle the expenses she had spent growing up, including the cost of her piano lessons.
She only remembered her uncle's sigh, "Nan Xing, uncle and aunt are just ordinary workers. An extra child like yours is nothing more than more bowls and chopsticks. But you have liked piano since you were a child. You should understand how expensive it is by now. I Together with your aunt and your grandma's salary, it might be enough to give you piano lessons for half the summer..."
"Your mother didn't let us talk, for fear that you would be burdened. Hey, your old Xu family only has two sisters left in your generation. Your sister is like that. Your mother is giving up all the remaining hope. I'm sorry for you..."
She didn't remember how she hung up the phone or what she said to her uncle in the end. She only knew that in the tutoring class that night, she taught Gu Yufei several wrong questions, and Gu Huaizhi, who was observing, pointed them out.
In the end, she really had no intention of going to class, so she told Gu Huaizhi to take leave in advance and left Nanshan Villa.
It was also that day that she met Shen Ruzhen who came to see Gu Huaizhi.
Later, when Shen Ruzhen offered to give her a sum of money and arrange for her mother to receive an interview with a specialist in advance, she was tempted.
But Shen Ruzhen's next words made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.
"I want you to seduce Gu Huaizhi, and I want photos of you together..."
Of course she knew what kind of photos Shen Ruzhen was talking about.
Gu Huaizhi was the person she cared about. If she really did this, it would be a blasphemy to her own feelings and unfair to Gu Huaizhi, so she refused at first.
But when she returned home and faced her mother, she felt sorry for the family, her mother and her sister when she thought about her misunderstanding of her mother over the years.
This kind of mental torture kept burning her, grinding her to the point where she didn't know what to do.
Until Shen Ruzhen found her for the second time and told her that she could be given a clinical trial quota for the latest anti-cancer drug developed by Shen Group.
Faced with such a choice, Xu Nanxing compromised this time.
In fact, she didn't deliberately seduce him, but for some reason the relationship between the two gradually became secretive and ambiguous.
When did it start?
Did it start when he lent her an umbrella, or did it start with his seemingly absent attention?
Looking back now, everything seems to have traces, and everything seems to be just a coincidence.
On the last night, she drank wine and ran to Furongju with the strength of the wine.
When Gu Huaizhi saw her, there was no surprise in his eyes, and his expression was calm, even with a trace of settled calmness. She remembered asking him,
"do you like me?"
Gu Huaizhi didn't answer, just smiled and handed her a glass of warm water.
She didn't take it, but took a sip from his hand. Water dropped from the corner of her mouth. The man's long fingers rubbed her chin, and he looked at her like he was looking at a treasure.
She raised her head and saw his engraved outline and the seductive rise and fall of his throat. She put her feet up and kissed him regardless.
Gu Huaizhi was just stunned for a moment, then took her waist and kneaded her into his arms.
The glass of water slipped from his hand, fell to the carpet, and rolled away, but it did not shock the entangled lover.
She responded awkwardly to Gu Huaizhi's offensive, her fingers reached his waist, penetrated through the lower edge of the shirt, and touched the tight texture. She heard the man let out a low sigh, and then the world started to spin, and she was moved by him. Pick it up.
When she came to her senses again, she was already on the bed.
Gu Huaizhi put his arms on both sides of her, looked down condescendingly, and asked her,
"Do you want to regret it?... If you regret it now, it's still too late."
She shook her head, put her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his.
The tearing pain hit her, and she pushed his chest helplessly. Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, but he kissed her away carefully.
Ups and downs, entangled, lingering and charming.
She fell asleep in a daze, feeling like she was being brought into a warm embrace. She leaned into it uneasily, but did not fall asleep deeply. It was not until the sound of long and steady breathing came from behind that she carefully got out of bed.
There was a ceiling light on in a corner of the room. She took out her phone and came back to take the photos, then carefully put them back.
My mind was in chaos and I had nightmares.
She woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that if Shen Ruzhen leaked these photos to other interested people, they might bring trouble to Gu Huaizhi. She carefully got out of bed and looked for her phone, hoping to delete those photos.
Before she could sleep, she thought she had put it in the wrong place, so she went to look for it somewhere nearby, but still couldn't find it. Until she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around in panic and saw what was in Gu Huaizhi's hand. .
That's her cell phone.
The phone slid in his hand, he found the photos, held them up to her eyes and asked her,
"Are you short of money?"
She trembled and hugged her body, not denying it.
Gu Huaizhi asked her again, "Is it worth it?"
All explanations at that moment were feeble, and she could only answer with tears, "It's worth it."
The man's fingers pinched her throat very hard, but he didn't kill her. She looked into his scarlet eyes with tears and realized that she was really wrong.
It turns out that he knows everything.
The hands around her neck gradually loosened, and she sat on the ground crying silently.
Gu Huaizhi put on clothes and went out, then came back a moment later and threw a card in front of her, "Shen Ruzhen won't give you more than what's in this card. If you want money, I can give it to you. But most of all I I hate others for lying to me, Xu Nanxing. I just gave you a chance. If you ask, I can give you whatever you need. But you chose the stupidest path..."
"Let's go! You don't have to go to Nanshan Villa anymore. I will explain it to Yu Fei." Gu Huaizhi turned around and walked out the door. He stopped the moment he opened the door. Although his tone was gentle, it made people feel cold. ,
"Xu Nanxing, this is the end between you and me. You can take care of yourself."
To this day, she can still clearly recall the coldness in his tone when he said this. He seemed as gentle and elegant as snow, but in fact he was like the frozen ice edges after the snow melted, piercing her heart and soul everywhere.
She pinched the card and left Furong Residence like a wandering spirit.
She had already made up her mind to delete those photos, and Shen Ruzhen would definitely not fulfill her contract again. But she needed money, needed money to maintain her mother's life, so she took away Gu Huaizhi's bank card, thinking about how much she had used it, and then returning the card to him when she made money in the future.
If she were herself now, she would definitely not do this. Unfortunately, she was too young at the time and her ideas were too simple.
She took the recording of her conversation with Shen Ruzhen and told Shen Ruzhen that she had no photos. If Shen Ruzhen did not help her, the recording would be released and her reputation would be ruined.
But she underestimated human nature.
Shen Ruzhen agreed on the surface, but secretly she found someone to arrange the matter of her going to work in Nanshan Villa. She became a mistress who did whatever it took to get a position, while Shen Ruzhen became a victim of being raped before marriage.
When her mother found out about this, she called her back. Although she explained that she went to Nanshan Villa to work as a tutor, she clearly felt that her mother was sad.
I thought the matter would just go away, but who knew that the next day, a big-character poster was posted on the door of her house, saying that she was a mistress who sold herself for money.
Chen Xue'e has always wanted to be strong. After her husband passed away for so many years, she raised the disabled Xu Songlan alone. She never said a word of bitterness or tiredness, but she was criticized behind others' backs when she got older.
After silently packing up the things at the door, Chen Xue'e said nothing and asked Xu Silan not to tell Xu Nanxing.
However, after going out for several days in a row, I saw a white piece of paper with two big characters written on it posted on my door. I became so angry that I vomited blood.
Xu Nanxing received a call from her sister, hurried back home and sent her mother to the hospital.
She didn't want to be entangled with Shen Ruzhen anymore, so she called Shen Ruzhen while her mother was asleep and begged her in a low voice to let her go.
When I returned from the phone call, my mother was no longer in the ward. There were sounds of nurses and doctors running hurriedly in the corridor, and someone shouted, "Someone jumped off the building."
She felt uneasy, her eyelids were beating tightly, and she ran out in a hurry.
The dazzling red color lay sticky on the ground. She moved over with shaking legs, and could only see her mother's slightly closed eyes through the gap where the doctor saved her.
The world was spinning, and her vision went dark, as if she was falling into an abyss...
