201 Self-reproach: Don't you have any manners or dignity?
Bai Zixuan's face was contorted with rage, and his eyes revealed a look of madness.
Why doesn't she love herself anymore? Why is she engaged to another man or even preparing to marry him?
They had a seven-year relationship; are they just going to pretend nothing ever happened?
No, he would never just stand by and watch her with another man, much less see her smiling and radiant beside another man.
If he can't have her, he'd rather destroy her than let anyone else have her! As soon as this thought popped into his head, Bai Zixuan tightened his grip on Gu Mingxia's hand, as if he wanted to snap her neck in one go.
"You...you're insane! Let me go..."
Gu Mingxia felt increasingly difficult to breathe, and her mind became increasingly blank.
"You don't love me anymore, so why should I let you go? No... I'm going to destroy you, destroy you!"
Bai Zixuan seemed to have gone completely mad, his words filled with a kind of demonic fervor, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Gu Mingxia, who was struggling in pain.
A strange sense of excitement welled up inside him, a feeling that excited him even more than if he had gotten her.
"Gu Mingxia, it's all your fault! You're the one who made me unable to have my own child, and you're the one who made me like this! Why won't you be with me? You should take responsibility for me, why won't you! I'm going to destroy you, destroy you!"
Gu Mingxia's eyes rolled back repeatedly, and her consciousness gradually faded. Just as she lost consciousness, Xiao Yan's concerned face suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"Little Swallow..."
Gu Mingxia unconsciously murmured those three words before completely losing consciousness. Xiao Yan pulled Bai Zixuan, whom he had knocked unconscious in the car, out of the car. Looking at Gu Mingxia with bruises on her neck, he was filled with endless guilt and heartache.
If I hadn't been jealous out of nowhere, and if I hadn't hung up on Gu Mingxia in a fit of pique, I wouldn't have arrived at the 7UP Hotel so late. In that case, Gu Mingxia wouldn't have been hurt by Bai Zixuan.
Xiao Yan dared not imagine what would have happened if he had arrived any later; he didn't dare to think about it at all.
With great effort, Xiao Yan carried Gu Mingxia out of the car and hurriedly drove her to the hospital. Along the way, he berated himself countless times, each time feeling like a complete idiot.
Knowing full of guilt towards Fu Heng, Xiao Yan was still jealous when he heard her say that she was sad because she had hurt Fu Heng. He really wanted to turn back time and beat up the version of himself who had argued with Gu Mingxia and hung up on her.
If he had arrived any later, and Bai Zixuan had truly ruined Gu Mingxia, Xiao Yan really didn't know how he would live his life afterward. He certainly didn't know anything else, but the only thing he knew was that he would definitely go insane, kill Bai Zixuan, and then commit suicide to be with Gu Mingxia.
Although dying for love seems like a romantic thing, Xiao Yan felt that if one could live, it was better not to do such a foolish thing.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he wanted Gu Mingxia to live a good life and enjoy her brilliant future.
Xiao Yan felt he could never forgive himself for almost destroying all of this.
After a series of emergency treatments, Gu Mingxia was finally out of danger. Xiao Yan sat by the hospital bed, looking at Gu Mingxia, whose neck was wrapped in gauze and whose face was pale. He felt guilty and felt scared when he thought of what the doctor had just said.
"If we had arrived ten minutes later, Miss Gu might have become a vegetable due to lack of oxygen to her brain."
Holding Gu Mingxia's hand tightly, Xiao Yan dared not let go for a moment. No one knew how scared he was when he heard the doctor say those words.
If Gu Mingxia were no longer in his world, then Xiao Yan would have no reason to live.
"Xiaxia, I'm sorry. I swear, if I, Xiao Yan, ever argue with you again, make you angry, or get jealous for no reason, may I lose all my love for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Yan placed Gu Mingxia's hand on his face, closed his eyes, and his mind was in chaos due to the pain, fear, and bitterness in his heart.
"Liu Qianhua, what do you mean?"
Liu Qianhua, who was sitting on the bed making a phone call to her grandfather, frowned slightly when she saw Fu Heng kicking the door open and bursting in with an angry expression.
She turned her body away, covered her phone, and spoke gently into the phone as if coaxing a child.
"Grandpa, go to bed early, listen to the doctor, and take your medicine properly. I'll take him back to see you in a few days, okay? Okay, I know, goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qianhua frowned slightly, looking at Fu Heng standing at the door with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you knock before entering other people's rooms?"
"This is my home, and I can go into whichever room I want!"
Fu Heng spoke with conviction, but the elegance on his face had vanished, replaced by anger.
"Yes, this is your home, you can do whatever you want."
Liu Qianhua said with some bitterness that she was just a pitiful person living under someone else's roof, so how could she possibly want privacy?
"So, what brings you here?"
After swallowing her bitter words, Liu Qianhua looked up at him earnestly. It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but the mere mention of it stirred up a wave of displeasure in Fu Heng's heart.
"Who told you to go find Gu Mingxia? Who told you to tell her all that nonsense? Don't you feel ashamed saying things without any evidence?"
For Fu Heng, the whole arranged marriage was a joke, yet Liu Qianhua still brought it up to Gu Mingxia.
Few people know that Fu Heng's bottom line is Gu Mingxia. As long as no one does anything to harm Gu Mingxia in front of him, he thinks everything is okay! But once she is hurt, then sorry, he won't show any mercy! Moreover, there is absolutely no affection between him and Liu Qianhua.
"How can it be without evidence? Isn't that photo the best proof? Fu Heng, I just want you to help me fulfill my grandfather's wish. Is that too much to ask? Or do you think it's beneath you to have a wedding with me?"
Fu Heng frowned, looked at Liu Qianhua for a while, and then shrugged.
Unfortunately, you're right about both!
"You... Fu Heng, you've gone too far!"
Liu Qianhua looked at him with a pale face and an embarrassed expression. Fu Heng gave a cold snort.
"You know perfectly well that this is forcing me, yet you keep trying to coerce me, Liu Qianhua. I don't know how your family raised you, but in my opinion, if someone has clearly refused, I would never force them to do something. But what about you? You keep using the excuse of fulfilling Grandpa's wish to force me again and again. Liu Qianhua, I want to ask you, don't you have any manners? Don't you know how to respect others?"
"Yes, I have no upbringing because I was born without parents to teach me. How can I compare to a rich second-generation like you who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth? My life revolves around my grandfather. As long as I can fulfill his wishes, I don't need to respect others!"
Fu Heng's words caused Liu Qianhua to explode instantly. Her eyes filled with tears as she stared straight at the cold man in front of her.
“You have everything, money and parents, but I only have my grandfather. I don’t know why they arranged such a marriage between us back then, but what can I do? My grandfather doesn’t have many days left to live. What can I do besides fulfilling his wish? Ask him why he arranged this marriage? Fu Heng, I’m not as cold-blooded as you. I have flesh and blood and feelings. I have a grandfather that I want to care about and protect!”
After saying all this, Liu Qianhua lay on the bed and suddenly burst into tears. Just thinking about her seriously ill grandfather made her heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe. If she could, she would like to leave with dignity, regardless of whether it was a childhood betrothal or not. But if she lost her dignity, what would happen to her grandfather?
"What happened?"
As soon as Fu Feng went upstairs, he heard Liu Qianhua crying. When he came over and saw Fu Heng standing motionless at the door, he immediately knew what had happened.
Hearing Liu Qianhua say these things, Fu Heng was still shocked, but his pride prevented him from speaking up. Just then, Fu Feng arrived, and Fu Heng, having found a way out, let out a heavy snort.
"I can't be bothered to talk to such a boring person. You have to solve your own problems. To think of holding a fake wedding is incredibly childish!"
After saying this, Fu Heng left Liu Qianhua's room.
"Fu Heng, you're a cold-blooded bastard!"
With tears blurring her vision, Liu Qianhua cursed loudly at his retreating figure. Fu Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and had a very bad premonition.
“My dear little aunt, you’d better watch out. No one has ever cursed him like that before. Be careful he doesn’t throw you out of the Fu family villa if he gets angry.”
"So what if he loses it? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Putting everything else aside, Liu Qianhua, who grew up in the Liu Family Martial Arts School, has first-class martial arts skills, which are definitely different from those fancy but ineffective martial arts in the entertainment industry.
Liu Qianhua proudly raised her chin and looked at Fu Feng with disdain. If he hadn't told her to go find Gu Mingxia, she wouldn't have been scolded for no reason.
"Hey, can't you just talk to him nicely? Fu Heng isn't like this at all. The more you challenge him, the less likely he is to agree!"
"Can you reason with him properly? Every time he speaks, he implies that I'm using Grandpa, or that I'm coveting the Fu family's wealth. Don't think of everyone as so despicable. Although I don't have as much money as your Fu family, the Liu family's wealth is enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime. Why would I want your wealth?"
Liu Qianhua spoke indignantly, and after looking at Fu Feng's expression, she suddenly seemed to realize something and glared at him.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't sent me to see Gu Mingxia, would I have gotten yelled at tonight? I don't care, you have to find a way to make him agree to come back to Foshan with me for our wedding!"
