Chapter 39 – What is our relationship?
Gong Xiaoqiao frowned and said faintly: “I’m sorry, I was too excited. Gu Xiao Rou is your sister. You doing this can’t be criticized. Moreover in this regard, I’m just a person with no relation to you. I don’t have the right to ask you anything, and you also don’t have to apologize to me.”
Gu Xingshen gritted his teeth and clenched her shoulders in his hands. “No relation? Gong Xiaoqiao, do you have a heart? How I’ve treated you all these years, you ask yourself!”
Gong Xiaoqiao clenched her fists and looked up at him. “Yes, you’ve been very good to me! No one spoils me more than you do! But what is our relationship?
You tell me, what is our relationship? Your childhood sweetheart regards me as a thorn in her eyes, elbowing me out in all aspects. Your sister stole my man, and killed my mother! What kind of relationship should we have?
I know that my own mind is not firm.
As soon as I see you sad, I get soft; as soon as you care about me, I can’t help but depend on you; when you smile at me, I’m confused in all directions! That’s how useless I am! Gu Xingshen, I beg you, okay? Please stop being nice to me.”
Gu Xingshen stroked her head, smiling bitterly, “They’re clearly sweet words, but why is it so sad?”
She backed away from his touch. “Gu Xingshen, don’t come to me again. I’ll take all my things from the apartment tomorrow. I won’t go there again. I’ll take care of things on grandfather’s side. I can take care of myself.”
It seemed unexpected that she would have made such a decision. Gu Xingshen looked at her with an ashen face “For the sake of Qin Yao, you won’t hesitate to sever off your relationship with me?”
“It’s not for the sake of Qin Yao! I just don’t want to make things difficult for me or for you! I’m doing this for the good of us all!”
“Things are not difficult for me. You tell me, how are they difficult for you?”
“Of course things are difficult! I hate Gu Xiao Rou, hate Gong Hannian! But they are all your closest people! Isn’t it difficult for you? If it’s not difficult for you, don’t look at me with those kind of pleading eyes. I will never forgive Gu Xiao Rou for what she did to me, all my life!”
The ringing of the cell phone broke the tight atmosphere.
This time it wasn’t her senior. The name on the screen showed Shen Xiaotian.
With the exception of Gu Xingshen, she liked to set the names of close contacts to X Xiao X format. For example, Leng Xiaojing, Leng Xiaotou, Tang Xiaoyu, Sheng Xiaoyu,…..once, Gu Xiaorou, Qin Xiaoyao.
Gong Xiaoqiao accepted the call.
“Hey, little fox, is brother with you?”
Gong Xiaoqiao looked into Gu Xingshen’s eyes and said, ” Yes he is.”
Shen Letian first breathed a sigh of relief, then eagerly asked, “Little fox, you couldn’t have forgotten what day today is right?”
“Christmas, what’s wrong?”
“Grandma, don’t play with me, okay? It’s almost ten o’clock. Everyone in this room is waiting for Boss! Since you went to D city, we’ve all been living like dead pigs and dogs.
I’ve prepared a masquerade party this time, trying to make him feel better on his birthday. Grandma, can you stop tearing down my stage?”
“What has it got to do with me? When did I tear down your stage?” In regards to this Shen Letian’s use of idioms, Gong Xiaoqiao really didn’t dare agree with it.
“Then do me a favour and come to Fengming court now.”
“Why should I go? Aren’t you using the wrong method to look for Gu Xingshen instead of just directly looking for him?”
“No, no! I I’m using a different method to achieve the same goal! If you come, won’t brother just follow you!”
“I can’t make it. I have something to do.”
Gong Xiaoqiao hung up and looked at Gu Xingshen: “Shen Letian and the guys are urging you to go back quickly!”
With that she turned and left the meeting place.
