Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Used and Discarded
Gu Zheng glanced at Li Yulan, who was already trembling with rage, and then turned to face Gu Ningyue and said, "Ning Yue, you’re soon to be married, you’re a grown woman! Dad knows he hasn’t been good to you over the years, hasn’t fulfilled a father’s responsibility. Although the Gujia Group isn’t very big now, I’ve operated it for decades and it’s all my life’s work! Moreover... you may not know, but without your mother, there wouldn’t be the Gu Corporation today! You are the rightful heir of the Gu Family! I’m old, and there’s nothing more I can do for you! As for the company, whether you sell it or run it, you can decide for yourself! Dad won’t interfere in any way!"
Gu Zheng spoke with such sincerity that Gu Ningyue had no idea what to say.
It seems that the sun really did rise from the south today...
"Hahaha... Gu Zheng, don’t you feel ashamed saying this?" Li Yulan suddenly burst into a hysterical laugh, "It’s because of you that Gu Ningyue’s mother died with a grievance! Do you remember what you were doing the day Gu Ningyue’s mother died? You were entangled with me in that apartment. Do you remember what you said when you received that woman’s last phone call? You said..."
"Shut up!" Gu Zheng was enraged and interrupted her before she could finish, turning around and slapping Li Yulan again: "I told you to shut up, did you hear me!"
After hearing this, the hint of forgiveness that had just surfaced in Gu Ningyue’s heart vanished.
She looked at Li Yulan and said, "Continue!"
Li Yulan was slapped hard, her face quickly swollen with the imprint of five fingers, but in this situation, she laughed even more wantonly, "Gu Zheng. Look, your beloved heiress wants to hear it!"
Seeing the situation had become like this, Gu Zheng turned his head to look at Gu Ningyue and said, "Ning Yue, let the past be the past, alright?"
Gu Ningyue clutched the document, her voice exceptionally calm, "No, I want to hear it, I want to know what happened then! Let her continue!"
Li Yulan covered her face and shrugged off Gu Zheng’s extended arm, standing in front of Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou and said, "You want to hear? Fine, I’ll tell you!"
Now everything is fixed, it’s no longer something she can change just by refusing to sign!
Gu Zheng wants to leave all the family assets to Gu Ningyue, and even if she stays with Gu Zheng, all she would get is just the monthly fifty thousand pocket money!
No, this is not what she wants to get at all!
Thinking of this, the expression on Li Yulan’s swollen face became sinister, "Do you know? The weather that day was really good, your dad said he was going to the company, but actually came halfway to me. We tangled from eight in the morning until twelve noon. Your dad not only cooked for me himself, but even helped me put on shoes and comb my hair. Did he ever do that for your mother even once?"
"In that home, I bet he wouldn’t even say a word to your mother!"
"Hahaha..."
Speaking emotionally, Li Yulan even laughed out loud!
Gu Ningyue clenched her fingers, and scenes from the past slowly appeared in her mind.
There was a pale, sickly woman lying on the bed, calling her husband’s name, only to be greeted by her husband’s departing back.
This scene, even in memory, was truly heartbreaking.
"Li Yulan, enough! Haven’t you caused enough turmoil?" Gu Zheng shouted.
Gu Ningyue closed her eyes briefly, then turned her head to look at Gu Zheng not far away: "Dad, why was mom dissatisfied to the point that she received such treatment from you? If you didn’t like her, you shouldn’t have gotten involved with her! If you married her for money, you shouldn’t have directed your anger at my mother!"
"My mother liked you so much, why did you treat her like this?"
Saying this, a severe pain swept through Gu Ningyue’s heart!
This pain had appeared once when her mother died, only it wasn’t as intense as it was then!
Gu Ningyue seemed to understand why she had crossed into this body, her mother and Gu Ningyue’s were both foolish women!
For someone who didn’t love them, they even devoted their entire lives, and in the end, all they gained was a back turned to them! In her mind, Gu Zheng’s cold eyebrows and eyes, even the expression of refusing her mother’s request for a sip of water, were sending chills down her spine to the utmost!
She couldn’t forgive Gu Zheng, even if he gave the Gu Family to her, she still couldn’t forgive!
"Ning Yue, don’t listen to this woman’s exaggerations!" Gu Zheng knew Gu Ningyue was provoked by Li Yulan and suddenly regretted letting Gu Ningyue and Li Yulan be in the same room, seeing this scene: "I loved your mother at first... but later... I just couldn’t face myself, so things turned out this way! I’ve always been guilty all these years! Ning Yue..."
"Guilty?" Gu Ningyue sneered, looking at Gu Zheng: "If you were really guilty, you wouldn’t have knowingly let Liu Yulan and Gu Wanwan secretly abuse me, nor would you have attended some celebration with this woman on my mother’s death anniversary! Celebrating what, celebrating my mother dying early to give her a place?"
Saying this, for some reason, Gu Ningyue suddenly became agitated.
The emotions seemed to be released after being suppressed for a long time, all vented on the man in front of her.
"You didn’t love my mother at all, you just wanted to use her, and throw her away once you’ve used her, just like tossing rubbish! Even if you give me the Gu Family, I will not forgive you! Never! I don’t have a father like you!"
Thinking of the tragedy her mother faced before dying, coupled with the pain from the original owner’s loss of her mother in memory, Gu Ningyue seemed somewhat out of control!
Ling Tianyou realized something was wrong, stepped forward to hug Gu Ningyue’s shoulder: "Ning Yue, you’re losing control!"
The warmth in his palm conveyed solid strength, Gu Ningyue turned her head and gazed into a pair of exceedingly gentle eyes: "Tianyou..."
Tears shimmered in her eyes, and Ling Tianyou felt bouts of heartache, "Don’t cry, I’m here with you!"
This was his first time seeing Gu Ningyue so emotional, not even when she was injured had she been this heart-wrenching.
This girl... must have recalled her own origin!
If he ever finds that man one day, he would certainly not spare the man who inflicted such harm on Ning Yue!
He turned his head, looked at Gu Zheng and said: "Uncle Gu, Ning Yue has suffered a lot all these years, hearing this all at once is hard for her to bear, don’t hold it against Ning Yue! She’ll sign the document!"
