Chapter 1465: Chapter 1465: Finale Part 13
"Yan..." Mrs. Gu looked at his sorrowful tears, her heart aching immensely.
She never imagined that he was still conscious then. She was too anxious, fearing something might happen to him, so she rushed out, never expecting him to learn this cruel truth.
From a young age, he bore enormous emotional trauma. No wonder over the years, he was always indifferent towards her, a constant barrier; it turns out he had known all along.
She had thought she could hide this secret for a lifetime.
She did not fear the secret being exposed or his hatred toward her; she was just afraid of how deeply hurt and saddened he would be. But in the end, she didn’t handle anything well, causing him to experience life’s most painful injuries so early on.
"Ha, and all this was just for your son. Father wanted to choose a child to inherit the family business, and you feared he would choose me. To make me lose, you broke my leg and made me a cripple.
So, father didn’t even glance at me and took your son away. Your wish was finally fulfilled! But why is this still not enough? You’ve already taken so much, I never even thought of competing with him, I surrendered to fate long ago, pretending I knew nothing."
A fleeting emptiness appeared in Gu Yan’s eyes, followed by a simple, nostalgic glow that quickly extinguished in the desolate depths of his gaze.
"Yet you still came to take, taking away my only love. She was the sole light in my dark life, she brought me out of the soul-crushing darkness. I had nothing else, only her, only her genuine love and care for me. She restored my hope for life, made me want to lift myself up. I don’t want to fight for anything; I only wish to be happily together with her."
Gu Yan recalled those days, feeling as if in a dream.
Those events seemed so distant, yet remembering them now felt like yesterday, so vivid and bright, filled with joyous nostalgia that pained the heart.
"Such a simple wish, yet you all wanted to destroy it, even taking her away. What little I had was stolen by him. Can I not hate? How could I possibly not hate? He already had everything, yet he came to take what was mine. I hate him; he ruined my life once more."
Gu Yan laughed hollowly, his laughter numb and mournful.
"I also wanted to be a good person, an upright and honest person, but I can’t. I want revenge. I want to reclaim what’s mine. Why does he get everything? Why does he take her away? I must fight for it.
Yet, in every way, I fall short of him. I’m not as smart, not as sharp, not as likable. You like him, grandparents like him more, even Ye Lu fell in love with him.
I want to fight, but in the end, I can’t win anything. I’m just a loser, always inferior to him, losing to him utterly. Everyone loves him, everyone despises me."
Mrs. Gu listened in pain: "Stop it, stop it..."
"Can’t bear to listen? I insist on saying it. These words have rotted and festered in my heart for so long, today I finally have the chance to let them out. I hate him, I hate you, you mother and son ruined my life."
Mrs. Gu, tear-filled face: "If you hate me, why only take revenge on him, not me? I was the one who caused your legs to break; everything started with me. You want revenge; shouldn’t it be directed at me?"
Everything began because of her; his resentment and hatred all originated from her.
She harmed Gu Yan, also harmed Jun Huang, leading to the brothers’ mutual destruction.
