The moment the elevator stopped, Chu Lingjue had already silently wiped the tears from his face on Gu Xiwan's shoulder.
When the elevator door opened automatically, Chu Lingjue let go of Gu Xiwan and said without leaving a trace,
"Let's go."
Gu Xiwan felt that Chu Lingjue's voice was slightly hoarse, and Chu Lingjue's eye circles were slightly red. She was about to raise her eyes to see clearly, but Chu Lingjue had already held her hand and walked out of the elevator before her.
A few minutes later, Gu Xiwan and Chu Lingjue came to the hospital yard together.
As they were walking, a familiar voice sounded behind them,
"Master, the young lady is reasonable. You should understand that if something like this happens, even if you go to see Miss Sheng, the young lady will not blame you. You really don't need to be so cruel to yourself."
Hearing the voice of Butler Cheng, Chu Lingjue stopped, but did not look back. He just said indifferently,
"What do you know? Stop talking about this."
Butler Cheng could only sigh secretly.
Chu Lingjue let go of Gu Xiwan's hand, patted Gu Xiwan's shoulder and said,
"I'll go over there to smoke a cigarette. You and Butler Cheng get in the car first and come back to pick me up later."
After that, he walked to the fountain in the distance to smoke.
Gu Xiwan stared at Chu Lingjue's figure for a moment. In the past, she thought Chu Lingjue was an invincible strong man, but today Chu Lingjue hurt her so much that her heart broke.
Butler Cheng came to Gu Xiwan, looked at Chu Lingjue with Gu Xiwan, and said sadly,
"You know, young madam, the young master does not have to be like this. He suppressed the guilt towards the Sheng family and did not see Miss Sheng, all because of you. This also shows that you have already occupied the first place in the young master's heart...
The young master would rather let others say that he is heartless and unjust, and would rather endure the greater pain himself, than let you misunderstand that he still has feelings for Miss Sheng. He is miserable enough now. If one day you fail him, how can he survive? ?
Madam, you must not let him down! "
Gu Xiwan's lips moved, but a wave of heat filled her throat and she was speechless.
She just said silently in her heart.
Do not worry!
Chu Lingjue!
You live deeply in my heart and take root in my soul. For the rest of my life, I will try my best to heal the pain in your heart and never be the one to hurt you...
"The young master only smokes when he is in a bad mood. Look at him. In just a short while, he has already finished smoking one cigarette and lit a second one."
Butler Cheng sighed.
Gu Xiwan composed herself and did not continue the topic.
She reluctantly looked away from Chu Lingjue and looked at Butler Cheng.
"Uncle Cheng, you told me just before today that Sheng Xinyi's mother is the person you love most, and now she is...you must be sad, right? Why haven't I seen you shed a single tear?"
"Shui Shui, she..."
Butler Cheng shook his head, his eyes filled with tears.
"Long before Sheng Tianqing met Shuishui, I fell deeply in love with her. From her words and deeds, I could see that she also loved me. However, at that time, we were very conservative in our views on love. No one confessed their love to the other person. Later, due to various reasons that could not be violated, she married Sheng Tianqing, and because I couldn't let go of her, I still haven't married yet.
Ten years ago, something happened to the Sheng family. She saw her beloved son killed by gangsters with her own eyes. Shuishui was completely mentally disturbed. Although she was in good health, she was unwilling to stand up again. She was always sitting in a wheelchair. She looked like a puppet in a trance. When she occasionally returned to normal, she would always think about her dead son and shed tears. This is how she has been here for ten years...
What kind of happiness is there for a person living like this?
Therefore, young lady, I feel that death is a kind of relief for Shuishui. It is precisely because of this that I am not too sad. "
Regret and sadness intertwined in the butler's eyes.
After calming down for a moment, he continued.
"Actually, twenty-one years ago, the day before Shuishui and Sheng Tianqing got married, Shuishui came to me. She told me that she loved me and that I was the one she wanted to marry. She cried and begged me to elope with her. Unfortunately, that At that time, I cared too much about rules——
Sheng Tianqing is your father's biological brother, and I am your father's subordinate. I don't want to break the rules, so I rejected Shuishui and let her marry Sheng Tianqing!
In the past ten years, I have been guarding Shuishui. I always want to wait for Shuishui to return to normal one day and tell her that I love her. Tell her that the most regretful thing I have ever done in my life is not listening to her. If I could elope with her, if I could turn back time, I would be willing to break a thousand or ten thousand rules for her.
Regrettably……
I'll never get another chance! "
