As for Gu Ming, if he accepted Lian Ya's suggestion to help her, he might as well wait for her company to close down and buy them at a low price.
”I beg of you, please help me.” Seeing Gu Ming's indifferent and indifferent expression, Lian Ya reached out her jade hand and pulled at Gu Ming's sleeve.
Gu Ming retracted his hand from the table in disgust, the last straw of hope for survival was taken away as well. He felt sad in his heart as tears flowed down his face. When he raised his head and saw the cold eyes of Gu Ming, who was still smiling faintly, and realized that he had lost control of himself, he hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe his tears.
”Woman, I'm not a charity shop owner. Don't waste your time, just do your best.” After drinking all the coffee in the cup, Gu Ming ignored the miserable Lian Ya and turned to leave.
Only Lian Ya was left sitting alone in a daze, feeling empty and hopeless. The last shred of hope had been shattered.
As Lian Ya said till here, her face was covered in a layer of deep pain. It was easy to imagine how desperate she had been in the past. Looking at the only chance she had, yet unable to convince others, how sad she must have been to see the company fail and yet be unable to do anything.
”Mom, I'm sorry. You've suffered so much, but I know nothing about it.” An Shengmei gently embraced Lian Ya from the side and leaned her head on Lian Ya's shoulder.
”Child, it's over.” Hearing An Shengmei's words, Lian Ya regained her senses, gently caressed An Shengmei's head and said tenderly.
”Actually, we can't blame Uncle Gu Ming either. You asked him to marry an unfamiliar woman, how could he agree to that? Moreover, he still has a woman he loves.” Stunned for a while, An Shengmei pulled his mother's hand, and said after pondering a little.
His mother's hands were rough and full of green cocoons, making him feel as if he had lived through many vicissitudes of life.
”I didn't blame him then, even though he refused me.” She had no right to ask others to sympathize with her suffering. However, what happened next made her hate Gu Ming for no reason. ”Shengmei, you might not be able to imagine that two weeks later, Gu Ming, this man who said that he wouldn't marry another woman, actually married another woman.”
”Oh, yes. Gu Qingyan's mother is just Gu Ming's woman. A gentle and noble smile appeared in front of An Shengmei's eyes.
”I would never blame him if he married the woman he loved, but the woman who married him never met him.” Lian Ya's tone was filled with resentment and raised it by a little, ”We are both engaged on the same errand, but he rejected me, rejected the offer to save my company. Tell me, how could I not blame him?”
The company that closed down on them had huge debts all over the sky, causing Lian Ya to feel worse than death. Finally, she sold the company, sold the house, sold everything that could be exchanged for money. Lian Ya who paid off all her debts had only one dog left, which followed her and wandered the streets.
”Mom, how did you get through this?” Feeling sorry for her mother's past, An Shengmei asked while supporting Lian Ya on her shoulder.
”At that time, a man and a dog had been wandering outside for a few days. ”I don't even have money to eat anymore.” Lian Ya tensed up her body and her eyes turned blurry, ”At that time, it would also be winter. The weather is so cold, the water in the Fragrant Lake has already turned into ice. After a day of hunger, I sat on the shore of Fragrant Lake, thinking that if I could jump in and get it all over with, that would be pretty good too. ”
