Chapter 112 How to let go?

Lin Du hugged the puppy tightly in his arms, feeling a state of uneasy fear.

He didn't know where he had gone wrong, and he didn't know why Gu Xinchi had suddenly become so strange.

I stared blankly at Gu Lianchi's departing back, which was like the lines in a sketch, gradually becoming blurred.

He drove away in a disapproving manner, without any rage or angry complaints.

He parked the car on the side of the road, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it several times before it finally caught light.

The smoke was lingering, covering his eyes full of sadness and bitterness.

Pain was like countless ants, drilling into his body and eating his flesh and blood. He was convulsing in agony.

The fingers holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't get over the deception and humiliation, and he couldn't bear the pain in his heart either.

The cigarette butt was burning wildly, burning Gu Niechi's fingertips. He sighed lightly and raised the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.

I clearly approached Lin Du with a purpose, but in the end I almost indulged in his false feelings.

Gu Yanchi tilted his neck back and breathed heavily.

Forget it, just like Shen Zhichu said, maybe the confession bureau is more suitable for him and Lin Du.

Since everyone has a purpose, there is no need to feel guilty. After the baby is born, just... go your separate ways.

Chu Xu woke up and looked at Shen Zhichu who was sitting beside him. He rubbed his aching head and felt aches all over his body.

"You're awake." Shen Zhichu leaned over and said, "Drink some water."

Chu Xu frowned, his thoughts in a mess. He drank too much yesterday, and his memory was fragmented and he couldn't piece it together.

However, he remembered that Shen Zhichu had tortured him for a long time yesterday, and afterward he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have mentioned his father and Lin Du.

"I was drunk yesterday. Did I say anything nonsense?" Chu Xu tried.

Shen Zhichu chuckled bitterly: "Isn't it because he spoke the truth after drinking?"

Chu Xu was startled and clenched his fists in panic: "What did I say?"

"You said your father used and deceived you, and Gu Yanchi did the same to Lin Du."

Chu Xu's nervous expression revealed fear, and his hands were tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, as if he was looking for something to rely on.

"Don't touch my dad, otherwise I won't forgive you." Chu Xu suddenly grabbed Shen Zhichu. He knew that Shen Zhichu would not care about such a threat.

"My sister has died because of me. If something happens to my father because of me, I won't be able to live."

Shen Zhichu smiled bitterly: "You really know how to control me."

Chu Xu lowered his eyes. The pain deep in his heart was like a fish trapped in the mud, unable to breathe freely. This feeling of helplessness was really unbearable: "I can't do it anymore. Shen Zhichu, I really can't do it anymore."

Shen Zhichu raised his head and sighed softly: "I promised you that I would not touch your father, but you are mine, and you will only be mine for the rest of your life."

"Chu Xu, you can't be so cruel to me." Shen Zhichu held Chu Xu's face, "I understand your pain, but you can't deprive me of my right to be brave."

Chu Xu's heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade, the deep pain was beyond words.

Suddenly thinking of Lin Du, Chu Xu hurriedly grabbed Shen Zhichu's hand and said, "Have you told Gu Yanshi about Lin Du?"

Shen Zhichu was silent.

Chu Xu pushed him away: "Why do you do this? Isn't Lin Du miserable enough?"

"I'm helping them!" Shen Zhichu tried to grab Chu Xu, but he pushed her away. "They clearly have feelings for each other. Talking it out can save them from a lot of unnecessary pain."

Chu Xu sneered: "You told me that Gu Xinchi has feelings for Lin Du? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Shen Zhichu sighed. He knew Gu Yanchi, so he would not be wrong. "Whether you believe it or not, my original intention was to help them. With Gu Yanchi's character, do you think he would let Lin Du go after he found out that he was deceived by Lin Du?"

"Didn't he?" Chu Xu sneered contemptuously, "Wasn't it Gu Lanchi who was the first to resort to trickery? What qualifications does he have to blame others for deceiving him?"

"Is it not wrong to be disdainful?" Chu Xu roared.

Shen Zhichu stood up and walked to the window, his eyes were complicated and chaotic: "There is no right or wrong in love. Did you do something wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Chu Xu turned his back to Shen Zhichu and said, "That was my mistake. I shouldn't have fallen in love with you in the first place."

After leaving Free, Chu Xu contacted Lin Du directly to meet him. He was very worried about his situation.

Considering Lin Du's physical condition, Chu Xu drove directly to Gu Lianchi's villa.

Lin Du got in the car and looked at Chu Xu's complicated expression: "What happened?"

Chu Xu lowered his head in guilt: "I'm sorry, Lin Du. I drank too much yesterday and told you what you knew about Gu Yanchi's plan. Gu Yanchi should have known about it."

Lin Du was startled, his clenched hands trembled involuntarily, he twitched the corners of his mouth, no wonder Gu Jinchi was so strange today, it turned out that he was exposed.

"Lin Du, I really didn't mean it, I..."

"It's okay." Lin Du patted Chu Xu's hand, "It's a matter of time."

"Then what are you going to do? With Gu Yanchi's character, he will definitely not let you go." Chu Xu looked worried, "Lin Du, run, I'll help you."

Lin Du looked out the window. Where could he run? Gu Xinchi's target was the child. How could he let him go? Moreover, there was also Lin Yue. He couldn't run away.

"Don't worry about me. He won't do anything to me. His goal is the child. I'm safe as long as the child is there." Lin Du's fingertips unconsciously crossed his palm. "This is actually quite good. I'm too tired to pretend anymore."

"So what are you going to do in the future?" Chu Xu asked.

"Me?" Lin Du thought for a moment, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I feel a lot more relaxed now."

"You still have feelings for him, right?" Chu Xu asked tentatively.

Lin Du lowered his head and said nothing, with the corners of his mouth raised in self-mockery.

Chu Xu frowned, feeling bitter in his heart.

To Lin Du, Gu Lianchi was like a thorn stuck in his heart. If he tried to pull it out, his flesh and blood would be pulled out along with it.

How can I let go of someone I've loved for ten years in just one night?

After bidding farewell to Chu Xu, Lin Du thought for a long time alone.

He didn't know whether Gu Jinchi would let him go after the child was born, so he had to make plans in advance, not for himself, but only for Lin Yue.

Lin Du waited at the gate early today, intending to make a deal with Gu Nichi.

As night fell, Gu Xinchi would usually have returned long ago, but today he was late.

Lin Du took out his cell phone and called him, but no one answered.

There was really no other way, so Lin Du had to send him a message, thinking that Gu Yanchi should be able to see it.

Sitting in the car, Gu Yanchi frowned and looked at his flashing phone, but he was unwilling to answer it. He didn't want to hear Lin Du's false love.

He picked up the message, a sad smile on his face.

He was still fantasizing that Lin Du would admit his mistake to him and ask for forgiveness.

But what he waited for was that Lin Du wanted to make a deal with him, which was ridiculous.

He stepped on the accelerator and gripped the steering wheel tightly. He wanted to see what tricks Lin Du was going to play.

Gu Nichi got out of the car. Lin Du pinched his fingers and held his breath. He felt very weak, but he still walked over.

"Gu..."

Gu Yinchi ignored him and went home first.

Lin Du let out a deep breath and followed Gu Nishi's footsteps.
