He Yamei really liked to apply red lipstick, it would always make her lips blood-red, and now that she opened and closed it again, it looked even more dazzling, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, your dad is over there, do you want to go over and greet him? And then there's my mom, your dad's current wife. Logically speaking, you should go and say hello as well. Do you know what day it is today? On the 30th anniversary of our meeting, thirty years ago, your dad met my mom and fell in love with her at first sight … "
"Originally my mom said there's no need to remember. After all, it's not a special day like a wedding birthday, but your dad insisted on it. He even sent a custom-made gift to my mom. Even Tingting and I have it. It's all thanks to my mom."
"Gu Rou, do you see that? My am your father's true love, and your short-lived mother is only a substitute, a pitiful bug that your father found after he lost his mother. As for you, you are a pathetic additional vile creature that should not have appeared in this world!"
Each word was as vicious as a sharp knife, full of holes.
Who was it that was crying, who was it that was roaring, who was it that was shouting out the dissatisfaction and sorrow in his heart?
She had obviously forced herself not to fall into this woman's trap, and not let this woman's scheme succeed. However, Gu Rou was still unable to control her own eyes, and in the end, still managed to look away.
That handsome and refined middle-aged man was clad in a suit and a leather suit. He was in high spirits as he intimately held the hand of a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing. His line of sight was filled with that woman.
Even though Gu Rou couldn't see it, she could still imagine that it must have been with a smile, with warmth, with sweetness, and with love.
"Rou Er, do you know why your mother likes champagne roses so much? Not only because it is beautiful and unrestrained, but also because of its flowery words: Love you is my greatest happiness in this life, symbolizing that I only love you, you are my only. "Actually, if there isn't even one flower, then it would be good. Just like us humans, we will love one flower in our lifetime. That's enough."
In her memory, every time her mother brought her to the courtyard to admire the flowers, she would gently whisper these words to her.
His mother was a very romantic woman. In the love castle that belonged to his mother, she had planted many beautiful champagne roses. She had given her all for that man, but in the end, she couldn't bear the pain anymore and chose to commit suicide to leave this world.
Mom, this is the man you love wholeheartedly. This is the only man you have, and you don't have the only one who has him!
He had held back his tears for the entire day, but he still could not suppress them.
Many years ago, Gu Rou swore that she would never shed even a single tear in front of the three of them.
Gu Rou, why can't you bear it? Seems like you are still not strong enough, and are still not calm enough!
The reason why your mother wants to see you is that she has completely abandoned this love, the only love, so why do you need to worry about it! Not worth it, not worth it!
"Yi, isn't that Gu Rou?"
In the disordered and sorrowful air, someone shouted a few words.
In Gu Rou's blurry eyes, she saw the man who was proud of her happiness gradually turning towards her, her soft and dense black eyes were surprisingly filled with astonishment, and there was even a hint of a peculiar expression mixed within them that she could not decipher.
Then, she saw him walking slowly towards her, looking at her, calling out her name, "Rou Er, have you been well?"
How have you been?
At first, it was fine, but now, it could no longer be fine!
And what do you mean by that? Only after so many years did he know this question?
"From the looks of it, you've become neither a human nor a ghost. Don't tell me you were abandoned by a man? You deserve it. You must have overestimated yourself to reach some unattainable height." It was that coquettish voice from before again. Turns out, it was He Ya Ting.
Although it wasn't as scheming as He Yamei, it was still the same vicious mouth.
At first, He Yamei "caused" him to lose her job and her bright future, so it could be said that she was suffering a fate worse than death for a period of time. During their time together, the only thing they did everyday was curse Gu Rou.
Of course, as an "elder", He Meilin did not add insult to injury. In front of this man, she had always maintained her generous and decent, gentle and moving image. Looking at that stinky brat's appearance, she seemed to be choking enough. Naturally, she didn't need to personally step in.
On the contrary, He Meilin pretended to tell Gu Rou, "Since we've met, let's eat together."
"That's right, Rou Er, let's have a meal together." Gu Chubo quickly agreed, the anticipation in his eyes was true.
Gu Rou looked back and forth between them, especially the three mother and daughter of He Meilin. Finally, her gaze stopped on Gu Chubo and replied, "It's fine if you want to eat with me, but I don't want anyone who isn't related to me to be present. It's just you and me!"
Gu Chubo had not expected it to be like this, and was stunned.
He Ya Ting could not wait any longer and started cursing angrily, "You ungrateful bastard, what are you saying? "My mom kindly invited you to dinner. You actually told my dad not to eat with my mom, today is the 30th anniversary of our relationship. What right do you have to say such words? Are you still human!?"
My dad?
He Ya Ting, is that your father? Who knows where your father is? You're the bastard without a father!
Gu Rou sneered at He Ya, then looked back at Gu Chubo, waiting for his reply.
Unfortunately, she still could not find the answer she wanted.
She could not help but think back to the time when she had used her and He Meilin to let him choose among them. At that time, she recalled that when they paid respects to her mother in the Gu family's ancestral hall, He Meilin and her daughter broke her mother's memorial tablet, saying many humiliating things. She was angry and fought with them, and when he finally arrived, she told him that as long as she kicked He Meilin and his mother and daughter out of the Gu family, she would always accompany him, and even if she did not marry him, she would take care of him.
As a result, he slapped her hard, calling her insensible and unworthy to be his daughter.
Gu Rou, did you forget the pain after your scar healed?
How could they say such laughable words? Look, they are all laughing at you, at you for overestimating yourself, at your pitiful and lamentable self …
"Hehe, hehe ~ ~"
With regards to the father that gave her life and who had once doted on her countless times before she was twelve years old, Gu Rou gave her a deep stare, as if she would never see her again after this farewell. Then, after taking a deep breath, she turned and started running.
Tears streamed down her face incessantly as tragic and laughable scenes that happened one after another surged into her mind. He Meilin and her two companions' sharp and complacent laughter filled her ears as if a terrifying demon note had pierced her eardrums, crashing into her organs, shattering her body into pieces.
"Creak ~ ~ ~"
A sharp screech of brakes pierced the air.
Gu Rou saw a car flying towards her like an arrow. She wanted to run, but her legs seemed to have been nailed to the ground, she was completely unable to move. All she heard was the sound of the brakes, it was extremely deafening.
