Chapter 841: Chapter 829

Gu Sister shook her head, "Ningning is only 20 years old. Girls at her age don’t understand what the future, a lifetime really means. They don’t know what it truly means for two people to be together! She thinks you’re nice, so she wants to be with you..."

"But what about you? You’re older than her by several years; do you think the same way?"

Gu Sister didn’t believe it, "I think you surely know! The kind of illness you have, you could leave this world at any time! Even if your family is wealthy, what’s the use? Do you want my Ningning to be widowed at a young age?"

Le Zhengsheng parted his lips but found himself at a loss for words, unable to refute.

Every word from Gu Sister was the truth!

Gu Sister furrowed her brow in regret, "I’m so sorry. Though our Gu Family is poor, I won’t let Ningning be with you!"

Le Zhengsheng lowered his gaze, "Auntie, I didn’t mean to deceive you. I thought... Ningning had told you."

"Say no more of this!" Gu Sister shook her head, "No matter what you say, it won’t change the fact that you have a terminal illness! A Sheng, I’m begging you, let Ningning go? Please? Auntie has nothing against you, but in life, one can’t help but bow to reality!"

Le Zhengsheng remained silent, unable to respond.

"A Sheng." Gu Sister said finally, "I just hope Ningning finds a man she can rely on for a lifetime to live a simple, stable life!"

She turned around and walked inside.

"Auntie!"

Le Zhengsheng called out to her, Gu Sister paused but didn’t turn around.

"Is Ningning okay? Does she..." Le Zhengsheng struggled to speak, "Does she, does she..."

Gu Sister sighed, "Perhaps she’s not well now, but it’ll pass... a mother’s good intentions, she’ll understand one day."

With a ’bang,’ the door closed.

Le Zhengsheng stood stunned, at the gate, his heart filled with bitterness.

He never imagined that one day he’d be despised by others!

Upon leaving the Gu Family, Le Zhengsheng sat in the car and didn’t want to go anywhere... or rather, he had completely forgotten where he originally intended to go. It was pointless anyway; he had broken up with Gu Xiaoning, just begun... and it ended.

His phone kept vibrating, and Le Zhengsheng reached out to answer.

"Hello..."

"A Sheng," Yu Sangwan said, "It’s so late already? Why hasn’t anyone picked up yet? Even if it’s a traffic jam, you’d be here by now!"

"..." Le Zhengsheng was listless, not even wanting to speak.

Yu Sangwan’s heart tightened, realizing something was wrong, "A Sheng?"

"Wanwan..."

Le Zhengsheng’s voice was faint, "No need to wait, go home! Ningning won’t be coming."

"..." Yu Sangwan was silent for a moment, "What happened? Wasn’t it agreed..."

"Wanwan," Le Zhengsheng interrupted her, "I want to be alone for a while, okay?"

Yu Sangwan remained silent, hearing the phone being hung up.

Yu Sangwan frowned, feeling a sour anguish in her heart... A Sheng has hit a rough patch.

...

Yu Sangwan was quite regretful about this, but no one could blame Gu Sister.

A mother’s heart always wants the best for her child... it’s not necessarily wrong.

It was late, and Le Zhengsheng hadn’t returned.

Yu Sangwan paced in the living room; if there was the slightest movement near the door entrance, she’d stretch her neck to look.

"Hey..." Gong Xueyan sighed, pulling her down to sit, "Don’t pace around; you’re giving me a headache. There’s really nothing that can be done about this matter. His grief won’t disappear, but let him be alone, he’ll slowly get through it."

Yu Sangwan halted her steps, "Xueyan, if I went and pleaded with Gu Sister..."

"Don’t!" Gong Xueyan shook her head, disagreeing, "Don’t get involved in this; the relationship between men and women is about love, not sympathy. The most important thing here is Gu Xiaoning’s attitude. Gu Sister and you, aren’t significant. If Gu Xiaoning wants to be with A Sheng, then... even the heavens can’t stop it!"

She paused, "Conversely, if Gu Xiaoning is truly wavering, then... no one’s help will work."

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, "I understand the logic, but... A Sheng is so pitiful. I’ve known him for years and have never seen him so disheartened... He’s the type who always smiles even if he’s rejected!"

"Pfft." Gong Xueyan laughed, "That just means Gu Xiaoning is ’the one.’ Leave it be; fate relies on personal effort."

...

The Gu Family.

Gu Xiaoning desperately tugged at the window; how could she really open it? This broken house, during stormy weather, feels like it’s about to collapse, but now when she wants to get out, it turns as sturdy as a fortress!

The door opened, and Gu Sister came in to bring her food.

"Mom." Gu Xiaoning stared longingly at her mother.

Gu Sister said nothing, put down the meal, and left.

"Mom, don’t lock me in! I’m this old; you can’t do this!"

Gu Sister remained unmoved, "I’ll let you out, as long as you promise to break off with Le Zhengsheng completely!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning sat down angrily on the bed, growling, "Fine! Then lock me up for life!"

Though overseas, news from Guan Chao, Yu Sangwan followed it daily.

Every morning she’d watch the morning news before getting up, similarly, at night she’d watch the Guan Chao Express to rest at ease.

Lu Jinxuan hadn’t called, and there was no news...

Yu Sangwan didn’t have any grievances; she knew, at this critical moment, he couldn’t have any contact with her... Otherwise, being caught would only invite criticism.

Gong Xueyan brought her milk, "Wanwan, once you’ve finished drinking... go to sleep early!"

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, but noticed something amiss in Gong Xueyan’s expression, her eyes were red as if she had cried.

"Xueyan, what’s wrong?"

Gong Xueyan pulled at her lips, "Nothing."

"Still saying nothing?" Yu Sangwan didn’t believe her, pulling her, "Have you cried? Why? Is it because of Susu? I know persuading you might not mean much, but Susu will be fine; isn’t she in touch with Mom on the phone every day?"

"It’s not that."

Gong Xueyan shook her head, "It’s not because of Susu; I know... Susu is well taken care of."

"Then..." Yu Sangwan frowned, "Xueyan, you’re definitely hiding something, don’t hide from me, tell me."

"It’s..." Gong Xueyan hesitated, but finally spoke, "It’s my dad."

Yu Sangwan paused, realizing...

Gong Hongming, although an absolute scoundrel, still couldn’t erase the fact that he’s Gong Xueyan’s biological father!

On this world, the closest people to Gong Xueyan only remain Susu and... Gong Hongming.

Yu Sangwan could somewhat understand her feelings.

Back then, when Yu Zhiyuan deliberately distanced himself from her, doing all sorts of reprehensible things, ’father’ in Yu Sangwan’s heart was also a ’scoundrel’ image. But even so, Yu Sangwan still loved him.

"Xueyan."

Yu Sangwan patted her hand, "If possible, and his requests aren’t too excessive, just fulfill them!"

"Wanwan." Gong Xueyan’s heart warmed, "Actually, it’s like this... he called me... saying on Qin Shaoju’s side, they feel he’s no longer useful, so they’ve kicked him out! Right now, we can say he’s utterly alone."

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan frowned, nodded, "That’s indeed the case, Qin Shaoju isn’t worth anything!"

Gong Xueyan, her eyes red, "You can’t blame it all on Qin Shaoju; my dad isn’t a good person, conspiring together, so..."
