Imagine a five-year-old girl watching her father, her only family, die in front of her eyes after getting abandoned by her mother…
Leng Qirui recalled how Selina mentioned that she would be his future wife. Even though he never agreed to it, he still accepted that outcome internally.
He stared at Selina. He wanted to say that he would treat her well in the future, even though they were not of legal age to marry yet.
The words were about to leave his mouth, but he could not say them.
Leng Jinpeng held onto his son who could walk with only one leg, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Leng Jinpeng could not understand Leng Qirui. Back when Leng Jinpeng courted Leng Qirui’s mother, he was so skillful with his words. All the sweet nothings came to him so easily. How did his son become so cowardly?
Leng Jinpeng looked at Leng Qirui’s hesitant expression as Leng Qirui swallowed his saliva nervously. Leng Jinpeng wished he could kick Leng Qirui into the pool next to him.
How embarrassing!
When Selina saw that Leng Qirui seemed to be struggling to say something, she giggled and sashayed to him like a beautiful snake.
“Young Brother Leng, what’s with your expression? Do you have something to say to me?”
“Hurry up and confess!” Nangong Yi, who was already familiar with Leng Qirui, teased.
However, what Leng Qirui blurted out was—
“Who’d want to confess to her?”
The Nangong family, “…”
The Chi family, “…”
Leng Jinpeng, “…” Heartache! What a pig!
If Selina was any typical girl, she would have felt humiliated and angry. After blurting out those words, Leng Qirui looked at Selina nervously too.
He just realized that he just said what he did not mean earlier.
Selina, on the other hand, did not mind at all. She giggled and said, “I like the face you make when you clearly like me but don’t dare to say it. How cute!”
The Nangong family, “…”
The Chi family, “…”
Leng Jinpeng thought to himself, “…heartache! My son is a bottom!”
*****
Gu Mingyan went to find Selina with 80% confidence that things would work out in her favor although she had gotten into an argument with Selina the first time they met, leading to Selina throwing her into the trash can.
Yet… How should she put it? Selina was, after all, her daughter, and the flesh that had fallen out of her womb. Now that the Huang family and the Gu family were on the brink of their demise, she believed that Selina, as her daughter, had the obligation to help her mother survive.
Unexpectedly, she failed in Selina’s hands even after the Nangong family agreed. Even Nangong Nuannuan agreed!
“This unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter! Unfilial daughter! If I had known that she would treat me like an enemy, I should’ve strangled her to death the moment she was born! I… I shouldn’t have given birth to her. When she was in my stomach, I should’ve aborted her!”
Gu Mingyan looked at her son and daughter who were in the same room as her, but their injuries were much more serious than hers. She was absolutely furious.
One of Huang Yuhang’s ribs was broken, and he was still unconscious after surgery.
Huang Yuhan was a girl, but her face was fractured from the impact. Her retinas were damaged, and it would take her a month to recover.
Listening to Gu Mingyan’s roar, Gu Mingyan’s husband, Huang Tianyun, shouted impatiently, “Enough! Hang’er still needs rest even if you don’t! What’s the use of just shouting like this? Who asked you to give birth to that bastard child?”
Gu Mingyan knew that she was at fault. Therefore, she did not dare to speak anymore after letting out a cold snort.
