Chapter 107: I won’t let go of what’s at home, and I can’t let go of what’s outside
The air suddenly became dead silent. Gu Huai looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes frighteningly sharp.
"In order to leave me, you don't even want to have a child?" He stared at the woman's angry face, feeling irritated and angry.
I was angry that she could easily say she didn't want children, as this was their first.
What made him even more angry was that she was still thinking about divorcing him. He thought that they could go back to the way they were, but she was still thinking about divorce.
"You refuse to give me the child, and I can't win my battle for custody. Am I going to have to watch helplessly as the child is born, neglected by his biological father and abused by his stepmother?"
Lu Zhenzhu pursed her lips and said, "In that case, I might as well not give birth to him."
Gu Huai's expression grew even colder.
That was his biological child. How could he really let someone abuse him? He just said it as an excuse to keep her from getting a divorce.
But she used these words to stop him, because she didn't believe that he would be good to the child at all.
He laughed in anger, a sneer spreading across his handsome face. "Even if you beat the child, I won't divorce you. It's just a child, if you don't want it, then don't have it. We're still young and can have children in the future."
Lu Zhenzhu sneered, "Do you think I will still have children with you if this child is gone?"
"If you touch me now, I will feel that you are unclean and disgusting. There is no way I can have a child with you again."
This is her and Gu Huai's first child.
It is also her and Gu Huai's last child.
Gu Huai's smile froze at the corner of his lips, and his face was quickly covered with coldness. "Then you must give birth to this child."
He is the only son of the Gu family, and he must have his own children to inherit the family business.
Even if he could accept that they didn't have children, his parents and grandmother would not accept it.
"The child is in my belly. It's up to me to decide whether to give birth to the child or not." Lu Zhenzhu raised the corner of her lips, "If you want a child, go find Jiang Sesur. She will be happy to give birth to a child for you."
Gu Huai stood up angrily and stared down at her. His chest felt like something was blocking it, making him feel suffocated.
Lu Zhenzhu looked at him. The man's dark eyes were extremely cold, and anger emanated from his body. She was like a wooden man who could not feel anything. The corners of her lips that were raised not only did not flatten, but also curled up again.
"You want me to be with you wholeheartedly, but you can't bear to let go of Jiang Sese. You won't let go of the one at home, and you can't let go of the one outside. Gu Huai, you want this and that, don't end up with nothing."
She looked at him mockingly, lifted the silk quilt and lay down without looking at him again.
Gu Huai didn't move, his eyes were gloomy.
He turned and went downstairs, took a fruit knife from the kitchen and returned to his room.
Aunt Zhang came out to drink water and happened to see his back and the fruit knife in his hand clearly.
Thinking about what happened yesterday afternoon, Aunt Zhang lost all sleepiness. She quickly drank the water in the cup and stood guard at the door of their room. Realizing that she had left her cell phone behind, she went back to the room and took the phone in her hand.
In the room, Lu Zhenzhu felt that he had been standing there without moving. The bright light was dazzling, so she got up and wanted to turn off the light.
When her eyes caught sight of the fruit knife in the man's hand, her movements became slow and cautious.
Gu Huai raised his eyes and looked at her, "No matter what I say, are you going to divorce me?"
Lu Zhenzhu felt a little uneasy.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the man standing in front of the bed with an expressionless face and a knife in his hand. She asked for a divorce again, feeling anxious and frightened.
"What are you going to do?" Her voice was tight and her body tensed.
Seeing her nervousness and fear, Gu Huai let out a low, hoarse laugh and raised his hand.
Lu Zhenzhu was like a frightened bird and subconsciously wanted to run, but as soon as she turned around, the man grabbed her arm.
"What do you think I'm going to do to you?" Gu Huai stuffed the fruit knife into her hand, feeling indescribable and a little disappointed. "Did you think I was going to hit you with the fruit knife?"
He let out two cold laughs and pulled her over, caressing half of her face with his hand. "In your eyes, am I a scumbag who hits a woman?"
Hearing his displeasure, Lu Zhenzhu pursed her lips and said, "I didn't think you would attack me, but I'm still subconsciously afraid."
It's like she's walking down the street and suddenly someone is chasing another person with a weapon. Even if that person's target is not her, she'll be scared and want to run away.
Gu Huai lowered his eyes and looked at her face, "You subconsciously think that I will hurt you, you don't trust me."
Lu Zhenzhu did not refute his words.
What he said was not wrong, but... "Don't you know why I shouldn't trust you?"
"If you don't lie to me and don't do anything to hurt me, how could I not trust you? You can be said to be the one who caused us to reach this point."
Gu Huai seemed to have heard a lot, and there was no emotion on his face as he let go of her.
Lu Zhenzhu sat down and threw the fruit knife to the ground.
He picked up the fruit knife and opened it.
His bony fingers touched the blade, as if testing whether it was sharp or not.
He suddenly pressed his finger hard on the blade, cutting it. He took a wet tissue to wipe the remaining blood on the blade and also wiped the wound casually.
The blood had just been wiped away, but it started to flow out again as he moved. He ignored it and handed the fruit knife to her with the other hand.
Lu Zhenzhu's scalp tingled. She didn't answer and cursed, "Gu Huai, don't go crazy so early in the morning."
Gu Huai's expression remained unchanged as he forced the fruit knife into her palm. She raised her hand and wanted to throw it away, but the man held it tightly and she couldn't get rid of it.
"You regret it now. I'll give you another chance to choose."
Lu Zhenzhu's face looked ugly. She tried her best to break free but couldn't. The man's hand was pressing on hers.
This is the disparity in power between men and women.
"Do you really want to die?" She gritted her teeth, each word coming out from between them.
Seeing that she didn't make a move, Gu Huai took her hand and pressed the fruit knife against his abdomen.
"You must divorce me. Without you, my life will be worse than death. Living will be torture. It's better to die. What do you think?" His tone was very indifferent, as if he really didn't care about life or death.
Lu Zhenzhu tightened her grip on the fruit knife again, but didn't listen to his nonsense.
Life without her is worse than death?
Bullshit!
If he really loved her, he wouldn't be entangled with Jiang Sesur.
You've already done something wrong to her, why are you still pretending to be affectionate?
The man held her hand lightly, but she was tense all over, staring at the fruit knife without blinking, afraid that he would take advantage of her inattention and stab her hand in.
"Can't bear to leave?" Gu Huai's voice suddenly became low and gentle, coaxing, "If you can't bear to leave, then don't divorce. Sese has been ill recently. When she recovers, we will go back to the way we were before."
He has to take care of Jiang Sese when she gets into trouble, he has to take care of Jiang Sese when she is sick, and he has to accompany and coax Jiang Sese when she cries.
I’ve recovered from this illness, but what about next time?
His words did not cause any waves, and even made Lu Zhenzhu unable to see the end, as if they were repeating in an endless cycle.
If she gave in once and twice, she would have to give in every time.
