C123 In the end her heart still ached (1/2)
When Gu Qing returned home, she filled a jar with water. However, no matter how much she washed it, it wasn't clean. It was as if his breath had already seeped into her bone marrow and fused into her flesh.
He spent three days dispiritedly at home, neither eating nor drinking nor sleeping.
Along the way, Ye Xiaoqian and Xu Jin called to ask her about Li Cheng. She told them not to worry, she had already settled it.
Sorrowless had once said that Li Sheng would safely release the night they spent together.
Although she hated Xiao Mo to the bone, that man's words still counted.
He held on until the day of the hearing, but when the judge passed down the sentence, Li Cheng would go to jail for ten years. Gu Qing felt like he had been struck by lightning and couldn't recover his senses for a long time.
By the time she regained consciousness, the court was already empty. Only Ye Xiaoqian and Xu Jin were still standing by her side, worried.
Gu Qing slowly slid to the ground, letting her tears fall freely. She lowered her head and muttered softly, ”He lied to me, he lied to me …”
Back to City T.
Qing Cheng still went to the hospital with a big belly. She sat beside the old man and carefully peeled apples for him.
”Qing Zhi, you're pregnant. Why don't you go back and lie down?” The old man said in a low voice, his eyes full of love.
Qing Zhi gave him a faint smile. ”Grandpa, the doctor said that walking around is helpful to your son.”
The old man nodded, took a bite of an apple and said, ”That's right, why didn't Sorrowless come back with you?”
At this moment, the nurse who had been waiting for Qing Zhi immediately interrupted: ”I heard that young master met Gu Qing, so he kicked her back!”
As soon as she said that, she immediately glared at him, ”Nonsense.”
When the old tutor heard these words, he immediately coughed loudly. His eyes widened in anger as he roared, ”This brat, what does he want? Do you want to rekindle the relationship with her? ”
After saying that, he shouted to the nurse outside the door, ”Transfer me to F City immediately. I want to see what exactly that Gu Qing wants to do! ”
When she came out of the ward, Qing Zhi lifted her hand to stroke her hair. The nurse immediately supported her and whispered, ”Young Mistress, was my performance alright?”
”That's right!” I'll give you ten times the salary for this month! ” Her eyes were filled with a cold sneer.
When the nurse heard this, she was so happy that she immediately said, ”Thank you, Young Mistress! Thank you!”
Gu Qing left the courthouse and went straight to Xiao Mo to settle the score.
In the bar, Sorrowless, Lu Wei, and a few F City property tycoons were playing dice. When Sorrowless kicked open the door, he rushed in and threw a slap onto Sorrowless' handsome face.
The room that was bustling with activity a moment ago immediately quietened down. Lu Wei was stunned for a few seconds, then cleaned up the room and gave it to them.
Xiao Mo sat on the sofa and maintained the position of being slapped. The smile on his face remained unchanged as he licked his lips. He suddenly jumped up from the sofa like a cheetah and shouted at Gu Qing, ”Damnable woman!”
As he said this, he raised his palm high into the air. After a moment of hesitation, he still slammed it down heavily.
Gu Qing was dizzy from the slap, blood trickling down from the corner of her mouth. She leaned on the sofa and glared at Xiao Mo for a while, then she suddenly took out a fruit knife from her bag and stabbed at Xiao Mo.
