Chapter 102: You’ve Got Feelings For This Girl (3)
Translator: 549690339
Anhao’s heart was actually not calm. At least, she had never thought that Gu
Tianming would actually know about what happened before her mother died.
At that time, Anhao was still young. She didn’t understand why her mother had clearly left Gu Tianming and refused to be the third party in someone else’s family. She was clearly as proud as her mother. Why did she have to force herself to such a step at the end?
It was only until the end that Anhao found out that her mother had a terminal illness back then. The doctor’s diagnosis said that she would not live for more than a month, so her mother wanted to find a home for her. Her mother did not want her to become a fatherless child wandering on the streets.
She understood all of this.
However, she really didn’t expect Gu Tianming to know all of these reasons from the beginning to the end, yet he didn’t feel any heartache or pity for her mother. He even allowed the Gu family to continuously smear everything about her mother and belittle the woman he once loved, who dared to love and hate, as worthless.
Anhao sat in front of the table and wrote notes and abstracts on the book. Her writing was very heavy.
Qin Feng, who was sitting at the side, noticed that when she was writing, she seemed to be about to use the pen to break the book in her hand. He frowned when he saw this. However, because Mobai had recently reminded him not to get too close to Gu Anhao and not to care about things that he shouldn’t, although he didn’t know what was wrong with this girl, he could only pretend that he didn’t see it and continue to talk about the topic in the book.
Anhao’s tutoring process was not affected, but her every movement was a little slow and stiff. She used a lot of strength every time she wrote.
After a few hours, the door to the resting room was opened. Qin Feng turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng coming in. He quickly stood up and turned around to nod politelv at him.”President Zuo.”
There was a glass window between this lounge and the president’s office. When the folding curtain on the window was opened, everything in the lounge could be seen clearly.
Usually, when Anhao was tutoring with Qin Feng in the resting room, the folding curtain on this window would be opened. Naturally, Zuo Hancheng could see Anhao’s various states during tutoring today.
Anhao did not turn around when she heard Qin Feng’s voice when he got up. She only lowered her head and continued to write on the paper and notes in the book. She did not stop Qin Feng until he left under Zuo Hancheng’s signal.
Anyway, this was Zuo Hancheng’s territory. Qin Feng did not dare to disobey his orders. Even if she did, the result would be the same.
It was only when Zuo Hancheng sat in Qin Feng’s previous position that Anhao’s originally fast writing speed gradually slowed down. Her mind was in a mess and she could no longer write.
Just as she was about to turn to look at him, a photo was suddenly handed over to her.
The photo was a screenshot from a hospital’s surveillance video. It was actually the image of her being admitted to the ICU more than three years ago with severe injuries and broken ribs.
She was stunned for a moment. She looked at the photo of herself lying alone on the hospital bed, at the empty ward, and at the gray image of herself lying on the bed, thin and motionless. She tightened her grip on the pen and then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.
“The Gu family has long sealed off the news of this matter. The hospital has also been bribed. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for anyone to find out about this video. How did you…”
“What was the cause of the rib fracture three years ago?”Zuo Hancheng ignored her shocked and incoherent words. He simply asked the most important question.
Anhao looked at the photos in front of her and the bandages on her body. Her eyes dimmed.
” This is the first time I’ve resisted them because Gu Shishi posted my mother’s photo online. Although she didn’t say who the man was, she still insulted my mother with the infamy of being the mayor’s mistress, mistress, and mistress. Because of their slander and insults, my mother still could not rest in peace after her death. Gu Shishi released her photo to the media and even spread all kinds of groundless rumors about my mother…
She held the pen in her hand tightly.” At that time, I was still in the third year of junior high school. I ran out of class and ran back to the Gu family to find Gu
Shishi. I gave Gu Shishi a slap in front of everyone. In the end…”
Anhao looked at the photo of herself from three years ago and smiled, but her eves were filled with bitterness.
“That was the result. I slapped their baby. Then, I was pushed to a corner by the Gu family’s servants and beaten with a feather duster until my body was bruised. I was taken to the second floor by the Gu family’s butler as punishment. He pretended to accidentally push me down from the balcony.
After all, the height of the second floor wouldn’t kill me.”
“They just wanted to torture me. Mrs. Gu used a vase to hit me. At that time, I didn’t have the strength to resist and couldn’t turn my body over. The vase hit my front body and injured my ribs…Just like that…”
From the moment she started to speak the truth to the moment she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng did not say a word in the short span of five minutes. His expression did not change at all.
Anhao didn’t look into his eyes. She just let go of the pen in her hand and slid her hand from the table to her lap. Her voice was very soft.
“That day, if I hadn’t desperately crawled from the courtyard to the road and grabbed the pants of passersby to ask for help, I probably would have lost my life. It was also because passers-by saw my condition at that time that Gu Tianming was afraid that the matter would spread. He didn’t let me be beaten to death by them and instead sent someone to send me to the hospital. However, after I was hospitalized, I was sealed up for treatment. No one knew about the situation at that time. I didn’t expect you to find out.”
Anhao was very calm when she said this, and Zuo Hancheng was also very calm when he heard it.
He didn’t even ask her why she didn’t call the police.
Because the answer is in our hearts
Gu Tianming was the mayor, and the people who had injured her were the servants of the Gu family and Mrs. Gu. At that time, it would be useless even if she reported it to the Public Security Bureau Chief.
That night, Anhao was brought to dinner by Zuo Cold City.
He did not mention the photo to her again, nor did he mention the hardships she had suffered in the Gu family back then. It was as if the conversation in the resting room was just a story from the past.
It was as if it did not hurt or itch, as if it was just a deep understanding.
Of course, Anhao did not dare to think too much about it, but Zuo Hancheng had never been so silent before.
Even though he was never a talkative man when she first met him, his attitude was always clear. Even if she did not know what he was thinking, even if she could not see through him, at least the two of them had a normal way of communicating.
But today, Zuo Hancheng was unusually silent, which made Anhao feel a little helpless.
Zuo Hancheng did not even send her back to school that night. Instead, the two of them booked a room at a hotel near the company.
Even though Zuo Hancheng still did not really want her, he was more demanding than ever before. He was more passionate and entangled with her, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, as if he wanted to press her tightly in his arms and pour all the warmth he could give into her body.
She thought that he should be like this tonight because he felt sorry for her, but in the end, he bullied her…She still had to help him with her hand once before he finally allowed her to sleep..
