Chapter 399 They
On the night of He Yurou's funeral, Qiao Ruoxing shed almost all the tears in her life.
She thought that in the days to come, except for filming needs, she would never shed tears again.
However, Gu Jingyan's apology over and over again easily made her burst into tears.
There was not a day that went by that she didn't care about what happened that night. She was afraid that the person lying next to her after turning off the lights was not Gu Jingyan, so she had to keep a light on in the bedroom at night no matter what.
She was afraid that Gu Jingyan would touch her in a dark place, afraid that he would be rough between the bed and the bed. Just a small movement would remind her of that disgusting wedding night.
She couldn't help but blame Gu Jingyan for abandoning her on their wedding night, and couldn't help but feel brooding about it.
Gu Jingyan traced the back of the person in his arms over and over again, feeling like his heart was being stabbed with a knife.
Materials were the cheapest things he could give Qiao Ruoxing. He never gave her the care, trust and protection she wanted.
No wonder she gave herself a negative rating. He and the Gu family had hurt her so deeply. Why should he expect to be forgiven easily by her?
He wanted to ask Qiao Ruoxing why he didn't tell grandma at that time. Grandma was always sensible.
But in an instant he understood.
Qiao Ruoxing married into the Gu family alone. As far as she was concerned, everyone around her was a member of the Gu family, and she was the only one with a foreign surname. How could she be sure that the old lady would turn to her?
In the Gu family, surrounded by wolves, she was completely alone.
The year they got married, Qiao's company was in crisis, and her mother was facing the dilemma of being stopped by Qiao Xusheng. Under such circumstances, how could she dare to make a big deal out of it? If he doesn't want her because of the family's reputation, or dislikes her because of it, how should she deal with herself?
Gu Jingyan thought about the past over and over again, feeling a dull pain in his heart.
He let go of Qiao Ruoxing, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, gently scraping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. With red eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "I won't let it go like this, I swear."
Qiao Ruoxing pushed him away, collected her emotions, and said after a long time, "That's your business. What you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do are all your own choices. Don't force it on me. If you deal with me because of me, Gu Jingyang, if you deal with your mother, when you regret it in the future, will you blame me again for letting you be such an executioner? "
"I will avenge myself. Your choice to protect them or to kill your relatives is just out of your moral sense of right and wrong as a normal person, rather than any preference in any sense."
Gu Jingyan said softly, "I understand."
Ah Xing was still soft-hearted and did not completely block the road between them. She wanted him to judge those people based on moral laws and not out of revenge for her guilt.
Qiao Ruoxing originally said this because she wanted to give Gu Jingyan a dose of information and let him understand what kind of person Gu Jingyang was, but in the end, she got a little emotional.
This matter has been suppressed in her heart for too long. She used it to pierce Gu Jingyan's heart, but it was not like opening her own scars.
Gu Jingyan reached out and pushed the hair on the side of her face behind her ears, and whispered, "I'll take you home first."
Qiao Ruoxing said, "I'll contact Lawyer Mo first."
Gu Jingyan frowned and said a little unhappy, "He has no time to care about you now."
Qiao Ruoxing paused, "Do you know where Lawyer Mo went?"
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips, "How would I know? I just want to send you home quickly. Didn't you say that staying up late is bad for your skin?"
"Then I have to tell him," Qiao Ruoxing glanced at the jealous man, "Lawyer Mo was protecting me just now. I don't know if he was splashed by the boiling water."
Gu Jingyan was very unhappy, but then he thought of another thing.
If Mo Mingxuan blocked the pot of boiling water for Ah Xing tonight, would Ah Xing be able to calm down and listen to what he said?
Gu Jingyan's eyes darkened.
Qiao Ruoxing called Mo Mingxuan's cell phone, but it took a long time for the other party to answer the call.
"Mo Lu——Mingxuan, it's me, aren't you in the hospital?"
Mo Mingxuan's voice was a little tired, "I have something to do at home. I'm going back first. I'm sorry for not saying hello to you in advance. How is it at the hospital? Is Han Lie serious?"
"A little bit. The doctor said I need to rest for a few days, but I'm fine." Qiao Ruoxing paused, "Is everything okay at home?"
Before Mo Mingxuan opened his mouth, a loud sound came from the phone that day, like the sound of something breaking on the ground. It startled Qiao Ruoxing. There was a "sizzling" sound of electricity from the phone, and then Mo Ming Xuan hurriedly said "I'll contact you later" and hung up.
Qiao Ruoxing frowned and muttered, "Lawyer Mo seems to be fighting with someone..."
Gu Jingyan said, "His body is so weak, who can he fight with?"
Just when Qiao Ruoxing felt that it made sense, she heard Gu Jingyan say, "It can only be that he was beaten."
Qiao Ruoxing...
If Mo Mingxuan is not aboveboard, then he must use some means.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the rigid and difficult old man of the Mo family was much more pleasing to the eye. After all, if he made trouble, no one in the Mo family could do anything about it.
Qiao Ruoxing glanced at Gu Jingyan angrily, "With such a bad mouth, someone actually wants to be friends with you."
Gu Jingyan rarely refuted, took her wrist and said, "I'll take you home."
Qiao Ruoxing took out her hand and said, "A hundred points will be deducted."
Gu Jingyan...
"reason?"
"You lied to me, and you hugged me and held my hand without my consent."
"..."
"Do I still need your consent to hold your hand?"
Qiao Ruoxing glanced at him, "Nonsense! I haven't agreed to your pursuit of me yet, and you're just being a hooligan by pulling my hand?"
Gu Jingyan...
He took her hand again, "It's already been hooked anyway, so pull it a few more times to recover the blood." He looked at her and said, "It doesn't add up."
Qiao Ruoxing...
Coming out of the hospital, a gust of wind blew, and Gu Jingyan took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
Qiao Ruoxing's eyelids twitched, "Gu Jingyan, what month is it now?"
Gu Jingyan didn't understand, "August."
"What's the temperature?"
"Over 30."
Qiao Ruoxing took off her coat and threw it into his arms, "You still know! It's over 30 degrees and you're covering me with a suit?"
Gu Jingyan...
He pursed his lips and whispered, "I just want to add some points. They say that it feels very warm to be covered with a coat by your boyfriend."
"That depends on the season!" Qiao Ruoxing's heart softened, and she pretended to be unhappily, "I'm sweating all over, and you're covering me with another coat. Do you want me to get prickly heat?"
She paused, narrowed her eyes, and said suspiciously, "They? Who are they?"
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips, "No one."
Qiao Ruoxing's curiosity was aroused, and she was not willing to give up so easily. She stared and said, "Do you still want to pursue me?"
"Yes," Gu Jingyan said, and then followed up, "But this is my private matter."
