Chapter 455 Zuo Lie Confesses the Truth
"Master Jin, everything will be fine. In fact, you knew clearly at the beginning that Jin Lingyan was not your biological son. Later you also knew that he killed your son, but you didn't just leave him alone, right? So you should have expected this ending today." Qin Beimu folded his legs. Lu Hanmo had reminded him a long time ago, but unfortunately he didn't listen.
"Alas, I know. When my wife is better, I will take her abroad. Let the Jin family leave it at that. I am sorry to the elders of the Jin family." The old patriarch sighed deeply. He was powerless and let it be.
"Follow this prescription and you will get better soon. I'm leaving first." Qin Beimu is not a saint. She helped Jin Lingyan deal with them at that time. Now that she has cured her illness, the current matters depend on them.
"Master, take care. I'll see you off."
At noon, Zuo Lie did not go to the hospital today. He sat at the door of Gu Jiuyan's house waiting for Gu Jiuyan. He had made up his mind to tell Jiujiu everything today. He didn't want to delay it any longer.
Ten minutes later, Gu Jiuyan arrived at the door of her house. The man was squatting on the ground with his head pressed against his thighs, like a homeless stray child. Gu Jiuyan was somewhat touched by his appearance.
"Zuo Lie, why are you here?" He came here just to apologize and make peace.
"Jiujiu, you're back. I came here today to explain to you. Can we talk?" Zuo Lie looked at Gu Jiuyan with pleading eyes, hoping that she would not reject him.
"Okay, come in!"
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. I'm listening." Gu Jiuyan sat on the sofa opposite Zuo Lie. She didn't want to be so close to Zuo Lie, fearing that she couldn't control her heart.
"Jiujiu, after listening to my story, if you really want to break up with me, I promise I won't bother you."
Gu Jiuyan said nothing and motioned for him to continue.
"Twenty years ago, a little boy was kidnapped by his enemies. He was beaten all over his body. Those people took him into hiding for many days because his family was always looking for him. We had no food to eat, no water to drink, only torture day after day and a life worse than death."
"The boy had tried and failed many times to escape. He had almost given up, but one day, when he was about to die, a little girl came in. She was tiny and delicate. Seeing the dying boy, the girl resolutely chose to save him. Every day, the girl brought him water and bread, hiding in the dark, watching the boy being beaten and bruised all over. She said she would save the boy, but it was not that easy."
When Gu Jiuyan listened to this story, she felt inexplicably familiar with it, as if she had experienced it before.
"Those people took the boy to a small village for a long time, so long that he had forgotten about them. The girl would accompany him every day when those people were not around. Finally, the boy's parents found him. They were very grateful to the girl, and the boy gave her his jade pendant and made a marriage contract, promising to marry her when she grew up."
"Zuo Lie, that boy is you, right?" It turned out that he had been kidnapped before she appeared. Gu Jiuyan only hated herself for not appearing by his side at that time.
"Yeah." Zuo Lie nodded.
"I was the boy. Later, Pei Linlin, the daughter of the Pei family, came to me with the jade pendant. She is Pei Jiaojiao's sister. That's when I realized that Pei Linlin was the girl."
"What happened next? How did it turn out?" Gu Jiuyan wiped her tears. This story made her jealous and her heart ached. She wished she was the one who was with him at that time!
"Later, Pei Linlin died unexpectedly, and I didn't find out the reason. The Pei family wanted Pei Jiaojiao to replace Pei Linlin and marry me, but I disagreed and gave them enough compensation. That's why their family was able to gain a foothold in Jinghai. You all know what happened afterwards." Zuo Lie lowered his head. He knew that this was unacceptable to Gu Jiuyan. In fact, apart from the life-saving grace, he had no feelings for Pei Linlin. Perhaps that innocent feeling was just the companionship of childhood!
"So you rejected me so much three years ago because you couldn't forget that girl, Zuo Lie. I'm sorry. I apologize to you for what happened three years ago. I shouldn't have pestered you. I'm sorry." Gu Jiuyan was about to collapse, tears pouring out. He didn't like her, he really didn't like her. Gu Jiuyan stood up and bowed deeply to Zuo Lie. This was her apology.
"No, Jiujiu, it's my fault. It's me. I'm sorry for you." Zuo Lie was frightened. What happened to the little girl? She bowed to him. He hugged Gu Jiuyan in his arms like a madman.
"Zuo Lie, I finally understand why you were indifferent when Pei Jiaojiao hurt me three years ago. I finally understand why you don't like me. I finally understand why you didn't come that night. It turns out that you wanted to compensate the Pei family, so you chose to turn a blind eye." Gu Jiuyan didn't have the strength to push him away. She was now more like a bird that had lost its strength and had no one to rely on.
"I'm sorry, Jiujiu, this time, if you don't want to forgive me, then don't forgive me. I will just follow you silently behind you." If the little girl is not happy with him, then they should not be together. He doesn't want to make her unhappy. He is such a bastard, always making her unhappy.
"Zuo Lie, I only have one question. When you were with me, hugged me, and kissed me, did you think of me as the person in your heart?" It couldn't be that she, Gu Jiuyan, was being used as a substitute, or was it just a little comfort in her heart after losing her beloved one.
"Without Jiujiu, you can beat me, scold me, or even kill me for other things, but you are really the only girl I have ever loved." He kept explaining, but why was he speechless at the critical moment?
"Then have you ever thought about how Pei Linlin died? Have you never doubted Pei Jiaojiao? Or have you believed in her from beginning to end?" Gu Jiuyan left Zuo Lie's arms and collapsed powerlessly on the sofa.
"I know, Jiujiu, don't worry, I will find out everything." Zuo Lie didn't know what to say now. He thought about Gu Jiuyan's reaction, but didn't expect Jiujiu to collapse.
"Zuo Lie, you've finished talking, go away!" She didn't want to hear him say anything more. The past three years had been a complete joke. The other person had Bai Yueguang in his heart, but she was still clinging to him. It was ridiculous. Looking back, she was the biggest joke in the world.
"Okay, I'm leaving, Jiujiu. I won't force you, baby. You can go forward boldly in the future. I will always look up at you from behind and won't disturb you anymore. Be good and don't cry, baby." With red eyes, he raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Jiuyan's head. From now on, he would be Gu Jiuyan's guardian.
Zuo Lie walked out of the room, looking back every few steps, but he did not leave. On the sofa not far away, the little girl was huddled up in a ball hugging herself. After a while, the sound of Gu Jiuyan's collapsed crying was heard.
The sound was heart-wrenching. Although the tears were silent, it was actually deafening. It tore a crack in the boy's heart, revealing the bloody flesh inside.
Just like that, one was in the living room and the other was outside the door, with a distance of less than ten meters between them. No one dared to take that step. Zuo Lie leaned against the wall and listened to Gu Jiuyan's crying. He wanted to rush in and hug her, but he no longer had the qualifications.
I want to hug you so much in this dark world. I don’t know how much he suffered when he was kidnapped, but I also sympathize with myself that the relationship of the past three years seems like a joke.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Gu Jiuyan felt conflicted. "Zuo Lie, I don't blame you, because you've had a hard time too, but I really don't have the courage to be with you anymore. So, let's just forget each other from now on!"
"Jiujiu, I can't forget you. I will protect you behind your back and hope to get your forgiveness. My baby, you are the only patriotic girl in my life. I wish you a smooth journey and prosperity wherever you go."
Tired of crying, Gu Jiuyan fell asleep on the sofa, curled up in a ball. Zuo Lie walked in slowly, picked up Gu Jiuyan and put her on the bed. A gentle kiss fell between her eyebrows like a feather. Perhaps this was his last chance to kiss the little girl secretly!
Obviously, the two broken hearts are only a few inches away from each other, but the two tears can never come together to form what they were then. Jiujiu, if I had the chance, I would definitely travel back to three years ago without hesitation to love you with my life!
