Chapter 166: Tearing each other apart – will the sisters show their true colors at this crucial moment?
Not to mention Gu Mingxia, even Xiao Yan felt that Bai Zixuan's words were a disgrace to men.
In his thirty-three years of life, this was the first time he had ever heard a man tell a woman that he would be responsible for her entire life. He suddenly felt an urge to rush forward and throw Bai Zixuan out, but then he received a disapproving look from Gu Mingxia.
Looking at Bai Zixuan's matter-of-fact expression, Gu Mingxia suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him. He seemed to be stuck in a dead end, his only thought being that Gu Mingxia had to make up with him.
Although she married him out of gratitude and guilt, he stayed with her for seven years without Xiao Yan. During those years, there were happy times and small moments of happiness. There was a time when she was in despair and told herself to try to love the person next to her. But when she wholeheartedly wanted to spend her life with him, he cheated on her and even hired someone to set her up in a honey trap.
Gu Mingxia sat on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Yan considerately raised the headboard. She looked at Bai Zixuan, who was still handsome and even outstanding, with clear eyes. It was as if hundreds of years had passed. It turned out that if two people's hearts were far apart, even if they were face to face, they would feel a sense of the vicissitudes of life.
“Zixuan, go back! I don’t love you. The reason you’re so determined to get back together with me isn’t because you love me. You just can’t accept that I, who married you against all odds, am now with another man. But that’s life. You can only keep moving forward and you can’t go back.”
"No, Xiaxia, I love you, I really love you! From the first moment I saw you in Switzerland, you were my goddess. You have no idea how happy I was when you agreed to marry me. Now, as long as we want to be together, we can still be together, right?"
Hearing Gu Mingxia's tone soften, Bai Zixuan couldn't help but step forward and eagerly express his feelings. However, Gu Mingxia just lowered her head and smiled faintly. He still didn't understand that it wasn't a question of whether or not they could be together, but rather a question of whether or not they loved each other.
“I don’t love you. I never loved you from the very beginning! The person I’ve always loved is Xiao Yan. Even Fu Heng… was just a safe haven for me after Xiao Yan disappeared, to escape the marriage arranged for me by the Gu family. Zixuan, if two people don’t love each other anymore, nothing you do will make a difference, you know? I don’t hate you for cheating on me, I don’t hate you for setting me up, and I don’t hate you for deceiving me. Because I don’t love you anymore, I don’t care what you do.”
Gu Mingxia spoke calmly. Xiao Yan walked to her side, gently took her hand, and looked up to meet Xiao Yan's eyes, which were full of doting and love. She smiled gently.
"Xiaxia, do you dislike me because I can't be your mother? Medicine is so advanced now, we can do IVF, or we can adopt. We've been married for seven years, and we've had a lot of happiness and joy in those seven years, haven't we?"
The sight of Xiao Yan and Gu Mingxia's hands clasped together deeply affected Bai Zixuan's expression. His eyes turned red as he eagerly and excitedly expressed his thoughts, only to be met with Gu Mingxia's shake of her head in response.
"It has nothing to do with this! It's just because I don't love you anymore. The feelings between us were completely exhausted when we divorced. Go back and focus on running the company. Maybe the child Ye Xiaorou gave birth to... really is your son. In any case, I hope you can be happy."
Gu Mingxia spoke sincerely, but to Bai Zixuan it sounded so ironic. He had lost his fertility to save her, and now she was telling him that the child Ye Xiaorou had given birth to might really be his son!
Seeing the happiness radiating from Gu Mingxia's pale face, Bai Zixuan suddenly felt that everything before him was so ironic. He couldn't help but laugh loudly, tears even welling up in his eyes. He just wanted to win back the woman he loved, so why was she so heartless as to be with another man, hurting his heart time and time again with rejection?
"Gu Mingxia, you will definitely regret rejecting me like this today!"
"Bai Zixuan, ask yourself, if Xia Xia hadn't been the daughter of the Gu family, would you have proposed to her? Don't think I don't know what you were thinking when you approached Xia Xia. Even though you injured your body to save Xia Xia, she still married you in the end. It was you who didn't cherish her, cheated on her, and schemed against her. If you hadn't done such things, even if Xiao Yan had come back, Xia Xia wouldn't have divorced you based on her personality! Everything was caused by you. Seven years have passed, and she has paid back everything she owed you."
Gu Huaikun pushed the wheelchair in, his eyes sharply fixed on Bai Zixuan. He had disliked this son-in-law from the start, and subsequent events had proven his judgment was accurate. Now that Xia Xia had finally reunited with Xiao Yan, he didn't want Bai Zixuan to ruin her happiness again!
"What's so great about the Gu family's status? You, Gu Huaikun, ask yourself, after Xiaxia and I got married, how did you suppress me at every turn? Did I benefit from the Gu family in any way?"
When his initial intentions were exposed, Bai Zixuan became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and loudly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Gu family over the years.
"Hmph, if the Gu family wanted to suppress you, would your company have grown to where it is today? With the scale of your Longteng Company, you were able to win the subway project a few years ago? Bai Zixuan, you've been married for seven years, and in the fourth year you colluded with Huo Jialingling. Don't think I don't know these things. Do I have to list all the things you've done to wrong Xiaxia?"
Gu Huaikun's tone was sharp, and his eyes were full of coldness as he looked at Bai Zixuan. Bai Zixuan's face grew paler and paler after hearing his words, and he glared at Gu Huaikun and Gu Mingxia with hatred.
"Gu Mingxia, you will definitely regret this!"
After saying this, Bai Zixuan left the ward with red eyes. Once outside the hospital, he clenched his hands tightly, looked back at the towering ward, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would not let this humiliation go unpunished. He would make Gu Huaikun and Gu Mingxia regret it!
"Bai Zixuan has an extreme personality; I don't know what he might do."
Gu Mingxia frowned, her brows furrowed with worry. Xiao Yan took her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Bai Zixuan isn't what we need to worry about right now. The most dangerous one is A Xin. She wants you dead all the time, and that's what I'm worried about."
Xiao Yan's words caused Gu Huaikun's expression to change slightly. A Xin was someone he brought into the Gu family. No matter what she did, she was still his daughter. Now that his younger daughter wanted to harm his older daughter, he really felt terrible.
“I will try my best to persuade Ah Xin. If it really doesn’t work, I will have someone send her abroad.”
Gu Mingxia released Xiao Yan's hand and looked at Gu Huaikun calmly. Perhaps he wasn't feeling so good either, after all, A Xin was also his daughter.
As a father, he may have his own bitterness in his heart, but Gu Mingxia has never been able to forgive him for watching his mother being bullied by those women back then.
Gu Mingxia couldn't forgive her mother for being hurt, so how could she not understand A Xin's behavior?
After all, it was a mess she made when she was a child, and now it was time to pay for it. Gu Mingxia sighed inwardly.
“Dad, it’s understandable that Ah Xin hates me. After all, her mother died because of me. If I hadn’t been so immature back then, her mother wouldn’t have committed suicide.”
Although she caused trouble, if time could be turned back, Gu Mingxia would still choose to protect her mother and Adong in her own way. Nothing in this world is more important than her mother and younger brother.
"She wants you dead right now! How can your father just stand by and watch you sisters kill each other?"
Gu Huaikun spoke with great sorrow, while Gu Mingxia chuckled and looked up at Xiao Yan beside her.
Are you afraid? Afraid that one day I'll suddenly die for no reason?
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Yan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Gu Mingxia's ear, then leaned down and gently kissed it. "I'm here for you! I won't let anyone have another chance to hurt you!"
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but Gu Mingxia was deeply moved. She took Xiao Yan's hand and looked at Gu Huaikun with a gentle smile.
"Dad, did you hear that? Xiao Yan said he would protect me. You can rest assured now, right?"
"What's there to be relieved about? Haven't you had enough big and small incidents when you were with him?" Gu Huaikun frowned and muttered under his breath. Although his voice was soft, Xiao Yan still heard it and his face flushed slightly. Gu Mingxia smiled at him nonchalantly.
"Dad, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, as long as you're happy!" Gu Huaikun seemed to have suddenly realized the importance of family ties, his face full of doting smiles. "I saw in the magazine that Xiao Yan proposed to you. When are you planning to have the wedding? This time, Dad will definitely make sure you have a grand and glorious wedding!"
"I haven't thought about that yet! But Dad, did Xin really not threaten you with anything?"
Thinking about Gu Huaikun's attitude towards A Xin, Gu Mingxia felt that he was somewhat hesitant, so she couldn't help but ask.
"What can a little girl like her threaten me? Don't worry unnecessarily. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing right now."
Outside the hospital, Ah Xin sat in the car, watching Cai Feng's expression, and spoke with a cold smile.
"The person you bribed this time could have killed Gu Mingxia, but you spared her life. What, sisterly love suddenly appeared at the crucial moment?"
Cai Feng's words made A Xin look up. When she looked at him, her eyes turned cold, but it quickly disappeared. She looked out the car window, her lips still bearing a bewitching smile.
"What a joke! When she stabbed my mother, I had no connection with the Gu family anymore. How could I possibly have any sisterly feelings for her?"
"Since you have no sisterly affection for her, then you certainly don't have any fatherly affection for Gu Huaikun either. How about we join forces and turn the Gu family into our property?"
