C196 (2/2)
It wasn't easy for him to get into the wheelchair and be pushed over. Just as he was about to leave the house, he heard soft sobbing sounds from inside.
”An An, it's really not what you think, Mr. Gu went with Shuyan and saved you just in time.”
The man paused outside the door before slowly walking in and hearing the little girl's hoarse voice.
”Then why does my lower body hurt so much …” It can't be the Fourth Uncle, how could the technique of the Fourth Uncle regress so greatly? You don't have to comfort me, I was definitely given a beating by someone … ”
”Give what?”
Gu Zhongshen's face darkened. Originally, he had the intention of consoling her, but now, he restrained himself, looking at the little lady who was panicking, he became furious.
When the others saw this, they hurriedly left and even closed the door considerately. In the entire ward, only two people looked at each other in dismay.
Lu Qinan snorted, she clenched her small hands, and when she opened her mouth, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
”Fourth Uncle …”
Looking at that pitiful look, Gu Zhongshen couldn't help but scold her. He frowned, ”Can't you remember what happened last night?”
The girl nodded and shook her head.
”I remember that little house, Qin Hanze brought me there. And Qin Xuanman was also there, and then... ”
She did not dare to continue. She did not want to think about those embarrassing things again. Her small face drooped down as if something had ruthlessly stabbed her, and she did not raise it again.
He pinched all ten of his fingers together and said softly, ”Fourth Uncle, do you dislike me?”
Gu Zhongshen froze, he was originally a little angry, but after hearing what she said, the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace, his heart was filled with something.
Long Fingers extended his hand and lifted her chin, forcing her to look up.
”Afraid Fourth Uncle will despise you, huh?”
His voice was low and hoarse.
Lu Qinan could only see the obscure look in the man's eyes. He had absorbed too many complex emotions that she couldn't fathom, causing her heart to tremble slightly.
He nodded.
She remembered the relationship between Qin Xuanman and Gu He. Everyone knew that he was childhood friends with Qin Xuanman, and they even saved him … But in the end, because of Gu He, he completely hated that woman.
”Fourth Uncle likes you too late, why would she dislike you?”
Suddenly, he heard a soft sigh, which entered his ears heavily. It was so loud that Lu Qinan was startled.
She raised her head and met the man's pitch-black eyes. The emotions within them were like twinkling stars in the sky.
”Then Qin Xuanman...”
Gu Zhongshen stared at her for a good while, he was originally angry, but then he realised that the lady was seriously asking him, suddenly he lost his smile, and looked at her clear eyes: ”Who do you think wanted you to last night?”
”Fourth Uncle worked so hard, almost ending up in the rescue room. Did you hear that some shameless brat thought it was the end?”
He lowered his voice, his eyes thick and deep, somewhat obscure emotion, ”What, you still want to take away Fourth Uncle's fruits of labour?”
Lu Qinan was startled, he finally understood that what he said was true, the man in his memories was him, not a dream!
Her small face was flushed red, and her voice became clear and clean, ”So, the person who worked so hard last night was you, Fourth Uncle. So... ”You and eating are fine, so …”
”En, eat and follow Zi Nan.”
Gu Zhongshen smiled, her rough fingers landed on her tender cheeks and slowly caressed the wound, her eyes squinted, but revealed some depressing emotions.
”Does it hurt?”
”It doesn't hurt.”
Lu Qinan shook his head, the worry that had been hanging in his heart had finally disappeared.
After a long while, he suddenly remembered. If everything that Qin Xuanman said was true, then what Qin Xuanman said was true. Then those videos!
His small face stiffened and his smile abruptly vanished.
The man's expression changed as well. After all, he understood her, so it didn't take him much time to guess what she was thinking.
Sighing, he quietly said, ”The things you saw were all true.”
”The little boy who was abused in the video, it's me … What Qin Xuanman had said was also true. That man has been tormenting me ever since he could remember. He beat me, cut me with a knife, burned me with cigarettes, and locked me in a dark room. He wishes for death every day of his life, and wishes even more that he could kill him himself. ”
He paused for a moment, as if lost in memories, his eyes filled with a struggle.
”Every day, I have nightmares about him appearing again and teaching us a lesson with a whip. I am hungry because we are not allowed to eat.”
Lu Qinan held his hand, her small face trembling. ”Fourth Uncle, forget it, it's all in the past now, let's not think about it.”
The man acted as if he had not heard her words. His eyes seemed to be in a trance, and his voice seemed to have lingered in his throat for a long time. It was abnormally hoarse.
”In those days, he was in hell. There's no time that I didn't want to kill him. I wanted to escape … But An An, I can't do it. ”
Lu Qinan heard his hoarse voice, he did not know why, but his heart felt a dull pain, and felt a little sore.
”It's okay, he can't bully you anymore. You've grown up in Fourth Uncle, and I …”
Yeah, and you.
Gu Zhongshen raised his gaze, it was pitch black and profound, but it was filled with ridicule, ”He tortured me like that, but I was still unable to kill him …”
”An An, Qin Xuanman didn't lie. That man is my biological son …”
