Chapter 368 (2/2)

But he was still terrified that they would not want him, so he worked hard, ate less and did more, so he wanted to have a home.

”Later, your father was in poor health and became ill. We went home. We left home for ten years and brought you and Zhendong back. No one knew that you were not our own, and we never told others...”

”I know, mom, I've been grateful for so many years...”

”But our family is sorry for you. Because of your father's illness, you suffered a lot in those years, and the burden of the family was on you. Later, you couldn't go to college. After all these years, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have had such a hard time...”

”No, no, if it weren't for you, I might have frozen to death and starved to death...” Gu Zhennan shook his head and his eyes were red. ”Mom, you gave me a home and gave me warmth. I've never regretted coming to this home...”

”But you're not happy. You've never smiled. You've only had a smile on your face in the past two years. But why did you drive her away? I can see that Xiangxiang has real feelings for you. She doesn't care about those things. Why do you...”

Gu Zhennan smiled bitterly, ”Mom, she can not care, but I must think of her. I don't want to see her unhappy and careful...”

”But child, you've hurt yourself...” Wang Guiying burst into tears.

”I... Oh!” Gu Zhennan smiled sadly, ”maybe I won't live long. I don't care, but I may not be able to be filial to you...”

”Zhennan, don't say that. You hurt my mother's heart so much, Zhennan.” Wang Guiying was very sad.

”Mom, I've thought about it. If I die, the cement plant will be left to Zhendong. There's a big plant over my oil field that wants to give it to Xiangxiang. Mom, don't blame me. That's all I left her...”

”Stop talking, Zhennan. We don't want these. I just want you to be good...” Wang Guiying burst into tears.

……

Guo Xiang ran out from home. It was summer, but the wind blew on him, but he had a bone chilling chill. His brain was white, like heavy snow. The whole person was as cold as being wrapped by snow.

She ran to Ji Changlin in tears and scared him.

”What's the matter? It's Zhennan...”

”No!” Guo Xiang shook his head desperately, ”Zhennan, he doesn't want me anymore. He wants to divorce me...”

”Why?” Ji Changlin was shocked.

”I don't know, I don't know, master. What did I do wrong?” Guo Xiang squatted down crying and covered his face with his hands. Tears flowed down from his hands.

”He... Must not want to drag you down or make you suffer. He is not that kind of heartless person...” Ji Changlin sighed.

”But I do. I'm not afraid of suffering. I'm willing to bear it with him!” Guo Xiang cried, ”why can't he understand me? I'm willing to change for him, willing...”

”This may be the reason why he wants to separate. He doesn't want you to change for him. He thinks you live too hard...”

”But I don't think it's hard. I'm willing to step back. Even if he really can't be cured, I'm willing to spend my last time with him. Why did he drive me away?” Guo Xiang can't understand.
