Chapter 1212: An unborn child is not considered a human being

Gu Wanqiu in the dream was mean and evil. She took advantage of Li Jinxing and ordered him to do all kinds of shameful evil things. She bullied him, ridiculed him, attacked him, trampled on him, and devalued him to the point of being worthless. In Gu Wanqiu's eyes, Li Jinxing was a piece of trash who was worse than a dog.

Li Jinxing was the one she supported, so she thought she was his "benefactor" and had done him great favors. So what if she bullied him? Not to mention bullying him, even taking his life wouldn't matter.

She didn't like Li Jinxing, but wanted Li Jinxing to like her. Therefore, what she could not accept the most was that Li Jinxing had someone else in his heart. Once she saw that Li Jinxing said a few more words to someone or got close to someone, what awaited him was humiliation.

In this dream, she seemed to understand why Li Jinxing's love for her was so obsessive, because that was what she taught him, so that she was the only one in his heart.

Gu Wanqiu was awakened by her own dream. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, her mouth was slightly open as she gasped for breath, her throat was dry and astringent, and she was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

How ridiculous... She was actually woken up by herself.

Gong Qing watched every move Gu Wanqiu made. Seeing her suddenly open her eyes and gasp for air, he asked directly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu Wanqiu has not yet come back to her senses from the dream. This is the longest and clearest memory fragment she has had in all these years.

My brain was in a daze, my ears were buzzing, my chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, I felt carsick and wanted to vomit.

Gu Wanqiu suppressed her discomfort, frowned, and did not answer Gong Qing's words.

Gong Qing glanced at Gu Wanqiu coldly and didn't ask her any more questions. For a moment, the carriage fell into a strange silence.

The images in the dream were still lingering in Gu Wanqiu's mind. If these images were correct, then it would prove that what Li Jinxing said to her was true, and she was the one who wronged him in the beginning...

How much of the "past" that Gong Qing told her was true and how much was false? How well did he know her?

After a long silence, Gu Wanqiu finally spoke: "Is there any water?"

Gong Qing took out a bottle of water, opened the lid and handed it to Gu Wanqiu. Gu Wanqiu was thirsty and drank most of it. The water stains on the corners of her lips flowed down her face to her jawbone. She reached out to wipe them and held the bottle of water tightly.

"What time is it now?" Gu Wanqiu's cell phone was thrown away by Gong Qing. When she was sleeping, it was still light outside, but now it is dark.

"Seven-thirty."

Gu Wanqiu stared at the street lights outside. She had slept for nearly two hours and after drinking half a bottle of water, her chest felt less stuffy.

"Gong Qing, Li Jinxing has been telling me a lot about the past these days. He said that my father and I weren't that close, and I could even say that I particularly hated him. He also said that he wasn't the one who killed my father. If we were to say who wronged whom first, it was me who wronged him first..."

"You suddenly tell me all this because you suspect I'm lying to you? You believe Li Jinxing's words but not mine?" Gong Qing asked coldly, and he began to doubt in his heart whether Gu Wanqiu had remembered something.

But he felt that the chances of her remembering something were slim. If she really remembered something, she would not be so decisive in drugging Li Jinxing and going with him.

Gong Qing didn't think he did anything wrong in deceiving Gu Wanqiu.

Besides, he didn't lie to her much, and most of what he said was true. Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing had always been separated by hatred. Even if the injuries on her body were not caused by Li Jinxing himself, they were definitely related to him.

Gong Qing had an indifferent expression on his face, his hands on his knees, his slender fingers tapping one by one. This was a sign of his gradually losing patience and becoming impatient.

Gu Wanqiu noticed his action.

She explained earnestly: "I didn't doubt you. I have always believed in you."

"Since you trust me, don't think about these things."

In Gong Qing's view, her past memories are just "nonsense" and insignificant?

"I just want to remember the past."

Gong Qing: "Don't think too much about it. It's been so many years since the incident. They were all bad things anyway. What's the point of thinking about them? It will only add to your troubles. Now that you've left Li Jinxing, you can live the life you want. Don't think about the past. It's meaningless."

This was not the first time Gong Qing had avoided her past. Every time he mentioned the past, Gong Qing would use this "comforting" method to stop her from thinking too much about it.

Once upon a time, Gu Wanqiu thought that Gong Qing was doing this for her own good, and she didn’t want him to worry, so no matter how many questions she had, she kept them in her heart, pretending nothing had happened, and chose not to mention the past.

But now, the memory fragments she saw were somewhat different from what Gong Qing said. Gong Qing was the person she trusted most in the world. She relied on him and regarded Gong Qing as her everything... If Gong Qing lied to her, she really didn't know who else she could trust.

Gu Wanqiu thought she knew Gong Qing well enough, but as she watched his face become more handsome and mature in recent years, she found it increasingly difficult to see through him.

Gu Wanqiu knew that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she simply changed the subject.

"How have you been doing in J City lately?"

"J City is pretty good. You'll probably like it when you go there. Let's get married once we're settled. When I say settled, I mean when Li Jinxing disappears. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a few months."

It only takes a few months to make Li Jinxing disappear? Gu Wanqiu was a little bit unconvinced. She knew how powerful Li Jinxing was. Although Gong Qing had established a firm foothold in J City, J City was still a long way behind Shanghai City. In terms of ability... Li Jinxing was indeed more powerful than Gong Qing. If he disappeared, the whole of Haicheng would be in turmoil.

Even Gu Wanqiu, a person who didn't understand business, understood the logic behind this. No matter how much she hated Li Jinxing, she didn't expect Gong Qing to disappear. Maintaining an opposition and not threatening him was good enough.

And now, Gu Wanqiu has developed a special feeling for Li Jinxing. She doesn't want Li Jinxing to disappear. If he disappears, what will happen to Si Yan and Si Xu?

Gong Qing is not the kind of person who talks big without any evidence. Gu Wanqiu had a hunch that Gong Qing must have been hiding something from her.

"Do you still want to marry me?"

Gong Qing: "Of course, I have never forgotten that I want to marry you. If it weren't for Li Jinxing, today would have been our wedding day, but now we have to postpone it."

"I had that kind of relationship with Li Jinxing, and I'm pregnant with his child. Why do you still want to marry me?"

Gu Wanqiu's mentality has changed a lot now. If it were in the past, she would have been moved to tears when she heard Gong Qing say that he wanted to marry her, but now, all she had was confusion. She and Gong Qing had feelings for each other, but this kind of feeling was friendship, a family relationship that could develop, and an old relationship after knowing each other for so many years, but there was definitely no love... She could no longer feel Gong Qing's love for her.

Since there is no love, there is no need to fulfill the original promise together. For her and Gong Qing, separation is the best choice.

Gong Qing said, "I want to marry you naturally because I like you, and this is what I decided from the beginning..." So it is not so easy to change my mind.

As if he had thought of something, Gong Qing's eyes suddenly showed a murderous look that filled his entire eyes. When it was about to burst out, he turned his head and looked out the window, "Now that you have finally returned to my side, I will not let you leave me."

Like? People always can't help but compare. Gu Wanqiu found that Gong Qing said he "liked" her, while Li Jinxing preferred to say "deeply loved"

Liking and loving are just words, and there may not be much difference between them, but for the listeners, the meaning of love and liking are completely different, and love is heavier than liking.

Gong Qing used to say "love" to her more often, but now he changed his words to "like".

Gu Wanqiu didn't want to pay attention to such small details, but now she has become too sensitive. For some things, the more she doesn't want to care about them, the more she cares about them.

After leaving Haicheng, Gong Qing also changed to a helicopter and took Gu Wanqiu to J City. J City was better than Gu Wanqiu had imagined. It was bigger and more prosperous than Rongcheng, and quieter than Haicheng. Such a place was suitable for a person to live slowly until old age.

It was already three in the morning when they arrived at the residence arranged by Gong Qing. They had changed cars and planes for nearly ten hours. Gu Wanqiu's legs felt a little weak after sitting for so long. She was pregnant and in poor health. Now she felt dizzy and her head was heavy. When she got off the car, she felt like she was floating on clouds.

Gu Wanqiu held Gong Qing's hand and slowly stood up before she began to look around carefully. The surroundings were all trees, the wilderness, and the place was remote. There were small bungalows all around. The two-story villa in front of her stood in the middle of it, looking particularly eye-catching.

I didn't expect that Gong Qing could find such a house in such a short time. In this remote countryside, where he is unfamiliar with the place and the Internet seems to be not very developed, it would be difficult for Li Jinxing to find this place.

"Come in." Gong Qing said, taking her hand and going in. When turning on the light, Gu Wanqiu glanced around and looked carefully. The decoration style was very simple, not like the style Gong Qing liked.

"Time was urgent, so I asked someone to do the renovations casually."

"Actually, there's no need to live in a small Western-style building like this. I think the surrounding bungalows are also good." It would take a lot of time, energy, and manpower to build and renovate a Western-style building in a short period of time. Gu Wanqiu felt that it was unnecessary because she herself didn't know how long she could live here.

"Did you enjoy your stay?"

It is very quiet here and the air is particularly good. Gu Wanqiu has a good impression of this place, but if she lives here for a long time, she will definitely not be used to it. It is too remote and it is not convenient to buy anything.

"It's okay. This place is quite remote. Li Jinxing shouldn't be able to find it so quickly."

"Don't worry, he can't come here?"

"Why?"

Gong Qing smiled meaningfully and changed the subject, asking, "How did you give Li Jinxing the drug? Shouldn't he be wary of you?"

When talking about the process of drugging, Gu Wanqiu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still briefly explained the process. Gu Wanqiu put all the capsules he gave her into the pot and asked the two children to take them to Li Jinxing to eat. Facing the two children, he naturally did not suspect anything.

The small western-style building was very big. Gong Qing had been here several times and was quite familiar with it. He boiled a pot of water and then took Gu Wanqiu to her room. It was obvious that her bedroom was carefully decorated. Then Gong Qing took her to other places to accompany her to familiarize herself with the place.

"This is the TV room. Next door is a balcony for growing flowers. Every room is soundproofed. This is the study. I've prepared a lot of books for you... You can stay here first. I have a lot of things to deal with during the day. Come back at night if you can. If you need anything, call me. I'll arrange for a few servants and bodyguards to be here. I've asked around and found out that the people around here don't have any bad habits. If you get bored at home, you can go out and get to know them, chat for a while, and kill time. If you want to buy anything, you can contact me. If it's urgent, tell the nanny at home and they'll take a car to buy it. You don't have to go out."

Gu Wanqiu nodded to show that she understood. Living here was equivalent to isolating her from the outside world, and it was also for her own good.

"When Li Jinxing wakes up, he'll definitely know that you were the one who took me away. If he comes here to embarrass you...what should I do then?"

"He can't embarrass me now."

When Gong Qing said this, he was full of confidence. Gu Wanqiu didn't know where this confidence came from. She just felt that it was better to be careful in everything and not be careless. Now she just wanted to live her life in peace.

"You'd better abort the baby in your belly as soon as possible. You can rest for the next two days. I'll arrange for a doctor to check you out. You'll still have to go to the hospital. This place is too remote, and it's hard to get medical equipment in. After the abortion, I'll arrange for a nutritionist to treat you and get you back to health as soon as possible. When the weather warms up, we can get married..."

Gong Qing was talking to himself and had already arranged the rest of the matter for her, seemingly not needing her consent.

Gu Wanqiu's scalp tingled when she heard this, and she quickly interrupted him: "Gong Qing, I thought I made it clear enough in the car. I will not abort this child."

Gong Qing frowned and looked at her, his eyes filled with confusion: "After ten hours tonight, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"I've thought it through clearly. I want to keep this child and raise her."

Gong Qing reached out and placed both hands heavily on Gu Wanqiu's shoulders. "What good is there in this child? It's Li Jinxing's offspring. If it's born, it might be just as bad as him. You're aborting it now for your own good. I asked you to think it over in the car so that you could understand why you should abort the child, not insist on keeping this child who shouldn't have been born."

Facing Gong Qing's sudden aggressiveness, Gu Wanqiu was a little scared. She stepped back a bit, her face pale. "Gong Qing, this is a life. It's been seven months. It's a living life. I can't abort it now. I have feelings for her. This is my child."

Gong Qing snorted coldly and laughed: "Without giving birth to a child, she is not considered a person. Her life is not protected by the law and is worthless."
