Chapter 987: Think more about how you lost her
"But don't you always want to leave?" No matter how much he wanted to keep these people, they would eventually leave him one by one.
He is the only one left. No matter how powerful or rich he becomes, or how big the house is... in the end, he still can't keep a single person.
They just left without even saying goodbye to him.
Mrs. Liu put down the bag in her hand and began to pick up the messy wine bottles on the ground. At a glance, there were at least thirty bottles on the ground. She didn't know how long Li Jinxing had been drinking.
"You're drunk."
Li Jinxing dragged out his voice and said, "I'm not drunk. If I were drunk, I would be able to fall asleep, and then I would be able to see her. But I can't sleep, and I can't see her. I know I'm not drunk, it would be nice if I could be drunk. I drank so much, I feel uncomfortable... My body feels uncomfortable, but what makes me even more uncomfortable is that I can't see her. I should hate her. She's dead, shouldn't I celebrate with firecrackers? But why do I feel so uncomfortable here..."
Li Jinxing's hands softened from the sofa and rested on the ground. His eyes were dazed and he could no longer concentrate. He stared at the wine bottles in front of him. One turned into three. He reached out to grab them but failed. He tried again and this time he caught them. He raised them up and continued to drink.
Drinking so much at one time not only hurts the stomach but also easily leads to alcohol poisoning. This is simply a suicidal behavior. Mrs. Liu couldn't stand it and went over and snatched the bottle from his hand.
Because he drank too much, Li Jinxing had no strength at all and his whole body was limp.
After Mrs. Liu snatched the bottle of wine from his hand, her body could not bear the force and she collapsed directly to the ground, like a snake with its bones removed.
"Give me my wine."
"Mr. Li, you really can't drink anymore. Drinking too much is harmful to your health and it's not good for your stomach."
His stomach had started to hurt a long time ago, but he was always able to endure pain, so stomachache was nothing to him.
"Who do you think you are to control me?" Li Jinxing scolded.
Mrs. Liu's body stiffened, her face bitter: "I really don't have the right to care about you, but if something happens to you now, no one will go to Miss Gu."
Hearing Mrs. Liu mention Gu Wanqiu, Li Jinxing finally calmed down. Yes, he really couldn't let anything happen to him at this time. If something happened to him, no one would be arranged to look for Gu Wanqiu. He had to find Gu Wanqiu, and... Gu Wanqiu didn't like the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. As long as she came back, he would quit these immediately and never touch them again. He would not let her smell even a little bit of it.
Li Jinxing struggled to get up from the ground. There were too many bottles on the ground and he couldn't see clearly. His foot slipped and he fell to the ground again. His whole body was in pain and he couldn't stand up.
Mrs. Liu hurried forward and pulled him up. It took a lot of effort to help him onto the sofa. She was so tired that she was gasping for breath.
Li Jinxing collapsed on the sofa, saying nothing, quietly watching Mrs. Liu busying around, picking up the wine bottles and cigarette butts on the floor, as well as the wet carpet.
"How did you get in? I remembered I locked the door..."
Mrs. Liu replied as she packed up, "I called Mr. He, and he told me the password."
"Do you know the meaning of that string of password numbers?" Li Jinxing suddenly asked.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"It is her and my birthday. Her birthday is on September 30th, and mine was yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday." He originally thought that he would have a good birthday this time. He also bought a cake, put 21 candles on it and made a wish, wishing that Gu Wanqiu would come back to him soon. Unexpectedly, he received the news of Gu Wanqiu's death that day.
Mrs. Liu picked up the last glass bottle and threw it into the cardboard box. Only then did she look at Li Jinxing carefully, from head to toe.
This is extremely inconsistent with his usual image. Li Jinxing is usually a bit of a mysophobia and keeps himself clean and meticulous. Even when he was imprisoned and wearing prison clothes, he was different from other prisoners and was particularly spirited.
If Li Jinxing was a dragon flying in the sky, he is now like a loach in the ground.
He was the one who caused this, he made himself so embarrassed.
He was wearing clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars, his white shirt was covered in wine stains and wrinkles, he had only one sock on his foot, the other foot was bare and the sock was nowhere to be found, he was unkempt, and a beard had grown out overnight, he also had wounds on his body, there was dried blood on his left hand, his ring finger was stained with blood and his nails were torn.
Mrs. Liu was a very compassionate person. She didn't dare to look at him after just one glance and quickly looked away.
She was quietly cleaning with a mop, wiping the floor tiles carefully. Li Jinxing was sitting on the sofa, looking up at her busy, saying something from time to time, but his speech was unclear, and Mrs. Liu couldn't hear what he was saying.
"When Gu Wanqiu was still around, were you also... very controlling of her?"
Mrs. Liu put away the full garbage bag and tied it in a knot: "No, Miss Gu doesn't need me to take care of her. She is very sensible."
"Sensible?" Li Jinxing couldn't help laughing as if he had heard a joke. "This is the first time I've heard someone say she's obedient and sensible."
Mrs. Liu didn't know what happened between Li Jinxing and Gu Wanqiu. The two regarded each other as mortal enemies and looked like they wanted to torture each other to death with their own hands. But when something really happened to the other party, one was distraught and the other went crazy.
If you care about each other so much, why would you be willing to hurt them?
Mrs. Liu couldn't understand the love in this world, but she only had one thought now, which was to pray that nothing happened to Gu Wanqiu.
"Mr. Li..." Mrs. Liu stood in front of the sofa, looking down at him, and said earnestly, "I don't know what happened between you and Miss Gu. I don't know what Miss Gu was like before. People grow up and can't remain unchanged forever. Miss Gu is definitely different from before. Don't always judge her by her past. She is very good now, at least in my opinion."
Li Jinxing felt a lump in his throat and his fingertips trembled.
Mrs. Liu didn't know if Li Jinxing had listened, so she just spoke her heart out: "I hope that when you find her, you won't hurt her. Treat her well, care for her, and love her. If one day you can't control yourself and want to hurt her, then think about how you felt when you 'lost' her today. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake one day and regret it."
Li Jinxing closed his eyes. His brain, which was originally painful and turbid, regained a bit of clarity after hearing Mrs. Liu's words.
For some reason, he remembered the curse he had previously cast on Gu Wanqiu.
——"If I force you to do something you don't like in the future and hurt you like I did today, I will lose everything that is most important to me in the future, and I will have to avenge the pain you've suffered on myself a thousand times."
Afterwards, he did force Gu Wanqiu to do something she didn't like. He forced her in the church, in front of the stone statue of Jesus. Maybe this was retribution.
People... really shouldn't swear or make vows easily, because you never know when the curse will come true.
Li Jinxing's voice was hoarse as he said painfully, "You're right. We can't just keep staring at the past."
The past is past, people have to move forward and think about the future.
Li Jinxing sometimes wondered if he had done too many bad things that led to the curse coming true. For example, he had just arranged for someone to kill Liu Zibo at sea, and then Gu Wanqiu had an accident, also at sea.
"You also think that nothing will happen to Gu Wanqiu...right?" Li Jinxing asked cautiously, and it was more like asking for help than asking a question.
It was the first time that Mrs. Liu saw him like this. She understood and could empathize with him. After all, when she was in the hospital, she had asked the nurse who took care of her. It seemed that if she was recognized once, Gu Wanqiu's chances of survival would be higher.
She could understand Li Jinxing's mood at the moment, so when he asked this question, she nodded without hesitation and affirmed his words firmly.
"Miss Gu will be fine. Good luck will come to her. She will definitely escape danger and return safely."
"If she could really come back, I would pretend that what happened before never happened, and I wouldn't care about her deceiving me, betraying me, and sending me to jail."
