Chapter 22: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - A Morbid Perception
Gu Shanshan never expected things to turn out this way.
My initial excitement instantly turned to despair.
Her face turned pale and stiff. "Gong Ye, are you... serious?"
Gong Ye stared expressionlessly at Gu Shanshan, whose face was deathly pale, and spoke in a cold voice.
“Gu Shanshan, look me in the eyes. Do I look like someone who would joke with him?”
After speaking, he raised his hand and glanced at the time on his wrist. "I'll give you three seconds to think it over. If you don't make a decision after three seconds, then you can forget about ever seeing Jiang Ziheng again in this lifetime."
"Of course, whether Jiang Ziheng lives or dies is none of your business."
No matter what choice Gu Shanshan makes, it won't be a good outcome.
Did he really intend to let Gong Ye blind him and cut off his hands by choosing to see Jiang Ziheng?
If he chooses not to meet her, what will happen to Jiang Ziheng?
Will Gong Ye treat him the same way, crippling his legs, cutting off his hands, and blinding him?
This is simply outrageous and goes too far.
"Gong Ye, you are forcing me into a difficult situation. This is not a fair choice at all!"
Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth and argued with Gong Ye.
"Fair? Ha..."
Gong Ye let out a disdainful sneer.
The way he looked at Gu Shanshan was as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Gu Shanshan, look down at yourself. On what grounds are you talking to me about fairness? What qualifications do you have?"
Gong Ye's words were utterly unsparing and cruel.
This world has always been one where the strong rule and the weak are preyed upon.
A weakling like Gu Shanshan is destined to be manipulated by him.
Gu Shanshan disdained his past tenderness and pampering, so why should he care about these illusory notions of fairness?
"Gu Shanshan, I suggest you take a good look in the mirror and see what you look like now. A pathetic cripple, with a physical disability, do you still think that your body can still attract me? There are plenty of people in this world who are prettier and more obedient than you. Who do you think you are, daring to act so petite in front of me?"
"Gu Shanshan, you are so naive and foolish," the two laughed.
Gong Ye's words were tinged with ruthless and cruel irony.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan's face turned pale and then flushed.
The light in his eyes, which was already dim, was completely extinguished at this moment.
Yes, Gong Ye is right.
He is now nothing more than a prisoner devoid of any personal dignity or freedom, a plaything imprisoned by Gong Ye.
His mother died, his father only wanted to bleed him dry, and his older brother only wanted to squeeze the last bit of value out of him.
And what about Gong Ye?
This man who appeared out of nowhere was only interested in his body.
All I wanted to do was toy with him, torture him, and watch him cry.
Apart from Jiang Ziheng, no one has ever truly respected him.
No one asked him what he was thinking, and no one gave him the opportunity to make his own choice.
In this world, the only person who cares about him, Jiang Ziheng, has suffered because of him, and now no one knows whether he is alive or dead, or what his condition is.
Looking at Gu Shanshan's sorrowful appearance, her eyes seemed lost in some memory.
However, Gong Ye knew very well that Gu Shanshan's memories at this moment definitely did not include his existence.
Even if he did, he would definitely be a bastard.
Gu Shanshan despises him; how could she possibly have even the slightest thought of him?
His eyes turned cold, and the resentment he dared not harbor made him so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.
With a sinister sarcasm, he said, "Heh, Gu Shanshan, I really look down on you. Didn't you claim to love Jiang Ziheng so much? Now you're just giving up your eyes and an arm just to see him. Is it really necessary to be so conflicted?"
The tone was so casual, as if they were simply discussing the weather.
"Gong Ye, can this be compared to anything else?"
Gu Shanshan felt that she couldn't communicate with Gong Ye at all.
Besides, who said he loves Jiang Ziheng?
Gu Shanshan felt confused. He liked Jiang Ziheng, but he knew very well that it wasn't love.
At first, he was with Jiang Ziheng simply because Jiang Ziheng was his target.
Even now, it's just a matter of liking him. I like Jiang Ziheng's sunny, warm, upright, and positive attitude. I like Jiang Ziheng's respect for him. I like Jiang Ziheng treating him like a real person.
Therefore, he was willing to get along with Jiang Ziheng.
He also believed that as long as he was with Jiang Ziheng, it was only a matter of time before he fell in love with Jiang Ziheng. However, he didn't have enough time to fall in love with Jiang Ziheng, and then Gong Ye, that pervert, interfered and ruined everything.
He believes more in the gradual development of feelings over time than in love at first sight.
However, he didn't need to say these things to Gong Ye.
Even if I explained it, someone as cruel and ruthless as Gong Ye wouldn't understand at all.
"Why not? I believe it's possible!"
Gong Ye's tone was extremely domineering and arrogant.
Gu Shanshan found Gong Ye utterly unreasonable. "Gong Ye, you..."
"What? Loving someone means being willing to give up your life and everything else for them. What's wrong with what I said?"
"Besides, I don't want your life, I just want your eyes and hands in exchange."
As he said these words, Gong Ye stared intently at Gu Shanshan.
"Gong Ye, what you're doing isn't love, it's a sickness."
Gu Shanshan offered a weak rebuttal.
"Morbid? Ha... It's just an excuse for not wanting to, yet you blame it on morbidity. Gu Shanshan, you're such a coward."
If anyone is in danger for Gu Shanshan, they will give anything in exchange.
Even if it costs him his life, what harm is there in him giving it up?
He was obsessed with Gu Shanshan, loving her as if she were his own life.
Unfortunately, Gu Shanshan was blind and couldn't see it.
Not only can't they see it, but they also have to like that lowly Jiang Ziheng.
What's so great about Jiang Ziheng? In terms of power, wealth, and appearance, none of them can compare to even a single finger of his.
For someone so lowly, crushing him is easier than crushing an ant.
Why does Gu Shanshan dislike him?
"Gong Ye, I'm a coward, are you satisfied now?"
There was no way to communicate with the man in front of him; he was just trying to force him.
Whatever he chooses or says, if it doesn't align with Gong Ye's wishes, it's all wrong.
Gu Shanshan gave up on herself, listlessly hugging herself and curling up in the corner.
In Gong Ye's eyes, this meant that Gu Shanshan disdained to speak to him.
I find talking to him annoying.
Ha, that's true. In Gu Shanshan's heart, that little bitch, only Jiang Ziheng is the pure white moonlight and the cinnabar mole.
He Gongye was like a mosquito's blood that had been slapped against the wall.
It would only make Gu Shanshan feel disgusted and annoyed.
"Since that's the case, we have nothing more to say. Three, two..."
"I choose to use my left hand to see Jiang Ziheng."
With only one second left, Gu Shanshan spoke up without hesitation.
After careful consideration, Gu Shanshan made her choice.
He lost his left hand, but he still has his right hand to use.
But Jiang Ziheng is different. If I don't go to see him, who knows if Gong Ye will kill him?
He wouldn't stand idly by and watch Jiang Ziheng get into trouble, much less watch his target die.
"I've made my choice, let's get started."
Gu Shanshan's tone was firm, and although there was fear in her eyes, there was no sign of backing down.
Upon hearing the answer, Gong Ye could barely suppress the jealousy in his heart and almost strangled Gu Shanshan.
However, in order to torture and destroy Gu Shanshan's heart even more cruelly and cruelly, he could only suppress the violence in his heart.
"Good, very good, Gu Shanshan, you really didn't disappoint me. You two are truly a pair of devoted lovers."
Gong Ye's voice was chillingly cold.
The gazes fixed on Gu Shanshan were even more sinister and chilling.
Gu Shanshan was terrified after her hand was chopped off.
He thought, "That must hurt a lot."
But his pain could ensure Jiang Ziheng's continued life.
He felt this deal was worthwhile.
He pretended not to hear Gong Ye's sarcastic remarks.
"Let's get started."
"Ha, they're really in a hurry to die."
Gong Ye sneered, "Don't rush. It's not too late to chop off your hand after we meet Jiang Ziheng."
After speaking, Gong Ye went inside and, under Gu Shanshan's fearful gaze, picked her up in his arms.
"you......"
"Shut up! If you dare say another word, you'll never see Jiang Ziheng again!"
Faced with Gong Ye's threats and warnings, Gu Shanshan had no choice but to keep quiet.
The body held in Gong Ye's arms was as stiff as a stone.
He couldn't understand why Gong Ye, who so despised and looked down on him, could simply throw him to those terrifying-looking bodyguards to be dragged away.
Anyway, he won't resist, nor does he have the ability to resist.
Why are you hugging him?
......
The two arrived in silence at a private sanatorium, which was eerily quiet, as if it had been cleared out.
Gong Ye carried Gu Shanshan straight up to the third floor of the sanatorium.
In one of the elevators, Gu Shanshan saw bodyguards standing every few steps down the corridor.
Gong Ye carried Gu Shanshan to a doorway.
Assistant Wang opened the door solicitously, and immediately closed it after the two went inside.
He waved for the bodyguard standing by the door to leave, since the room wasn't well soundproofed and the possessive CEO would never want anyone to hear Gu Shanshan's cries.
After Wang's assistant chased away the bodyguards, he also walked away.
He stood at the elevator entrance, holding a cigarette in his hand, smoking as he waited.
He estimated that once he went in, he wouldn't know how many hours it would take to come out.
Thinking about it, he felt a bit of sympathy and pity for Gu Shanshan, who knew nothing about it.
Alas, the poor little guy must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be chosen by the dreadful CEO Gong. Not only does he have to endure physical torment, but he also has to suffer mental anguish.
The room was quiet.
Upon entering, I saw Jiang Ziheng lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.
In an instant, Gu Shanshan's heart clenched.
My heart is pierced with a needle-like pain.
It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, Jiang Ziheng wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Gong Ye, I'm begging you, please put me down and then leave. I want to talk to someone alone."
Gu Shanshan wiped away her tears and looked at Gong Ye pleadingly.
After interrupting Gong Ye's departure, he woke Jiang Ziheng up and spoke to him.
At that moment, he was unaware that Jiang Ziheng was already in a vegetative state and that he had no way to wake him up.
Gong Ye looked at Gu Shanshan with a sarcastic gaze, but did not put him down.
Instead, he bit Gu Shanshan's lip and said, "Gu Shanshan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
He could never leave.
"What do you mean?"
Looking at Gong Ye's wicked appearance, Gu Shanshan felt a sense of foreboding.
"It doesn't mean anything."
Gong Ye curled his lips into a cold smile, sat down in a chair, and held Gu Shanshan in front of him, both of them facing Jiang Ziheng on the hospital bed.
Gong Ye's gaze fell on Jiang Ziheng and Gu Shanshan.
My ex-boyfriend is now in a vegetative state, lying in a hospital bed.
The other one sat in his lap.
And now, he's going to make this former couple suffer.
It is said that some people in a vegetative state are not unconscious, but rather have feelings that they cannot wake up from.
The thought of Jiang Ziheng consciously watching Gu Shanshan being taken by him later was unbearable.
Just thinking about it made Gong Ye incredibly excited.
He leaned down and nuzzled Gu Shanshan's earlobe, speaking with malice in his eyes.
"Shanshan, I want to do this in front of Jiang Ziheng..."
