In the guest room.
As Yu Sheng was getting ready to go into the bathroom to take a shower, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Gu Ye calling, she subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door.
She didn't know what he meant, and she was angry and didn't want to answer his call, so she hung up.
Before he could even put his phone down, he sent a WeChat message: "Answer the phone, I need to tell you about my relationship with Qiao Moya."
As Yu Sheng frowned at the message, Gu Ye called again.
She hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
She didn't speak, and neither did Gu on the other end of the phone.
The silent stillness resonated within her, and as she grew impatient and was about to speak, Gu Ye's deep, husky voice rang out—
I owe him my life!
Yu Sheng was taken aback: "Who do you owe a life to?"
After she asked the question, silence fell again on the other end.
She was very anxious, and tried to hear everything she could hear, but she couldn't hear anything.
In her haste, she hurried toward the entrance. Just as she grasped the doorknob, Gu Ye called out with difficulty, "Qiao Moya's father—Zhang Xiangdong!"
When Qiao Weiyang and Zhu Lin first got together, Yu Jing often talked about Zhu Lin and her ex-husband Zhang Xiangdong to Yu Sheng, saying that Zhang Xiangdong was killed by Zhu Lin and that Qiao Weiyang would be killed by her sooner or later.
Whether Zhang Xiangdong was actually cursed to death by Zhu Lin, Yu Sheng didn't know. She only knew that he drowned, but she didn't know the specifics of how he drowned...
But she never expected that Gu Ye had a connection with Zhang Xiangdong.
Q: "He saved you?"
"Um……"
He responded, then fell silent again.
The heavy topic calmed Yu Sheng's restless heart. She pressed herself against the door and patiently waited for Gu Ye to speak.
This time, he didn't remain silent for long, but what he said left Yu Sheng utterly incredulous. He said—
"He died saving me!"
"He died saving you? Didn't he drown?"
Gu Ye's voice was filled with self-reproach and anguish: "He drowned while trying to save me!"
Yu Sheng was stunned by the sudden truth.
After Gu Ye repeatedly denied his relationship with Qiao Moya, she wondered if he owed Qiao Moya or her family some favors, but she never expected that this favor would actually be a life!
Suddenly, she understood why Gu Ye chose Qiao Moya in the life-or-death game where he had to choose between two options!
To pay for my life!
The sudden truth weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder weighing millions of pounds.
It was so heavy she could hardly breathe.
She closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip hard.
At that moment, Gu Ye's voice came through the phone again—
“I’ve met Qiao Moya a few times at public events, but I didn’t recognize her as Zhang Xiangdong’s daughter until New Year’s Day when I saw her mother, Zhu Lin, at the entrance of Guo’s restaurant. That’s when I realized she was Zhang Xiangdong’s wife…”
Yu Sheng opened her eyes, recalling the scene from that day: "Were you looking at Zhu Lin back then?"
"Um……
Qiao Moya and Zhu Lin were standing together, which is why you mistakenly thought I was looking at Qiao Moya.
At the time, I just thought Zhu Lin looked like Zhang Xiangdong's wife, but I wasn't sure, so I had Xu Shao investigate her identity. He confirmed she was Zhang Xiangdong's wife and also learned that Qiao Moya was Zhang Xiangdong's biological daughter..."
After listening to Gu Ye's words, Yu Sheng took a while to process them before asking, "Qiao Moya and Zhu Lin didn't know that Zhang Xiangdong died to save you?"
Gu Ye responded softly, "Mmm..."
Although Yu Sheng couldn't see Gu Ye's face, she could imagine from his tone that his expression must be full of guilt and self-blame!
He had always presented a gentle and warm side to her, never telling her about his unhappiness or worries, so she thought he had no troubles or pain, only endless love and care.
Only today did she realize that he kept the pain to himself and gave his love to her...
He healed her inner wounds with his love and tenderness, but the wounds buried deep within his own heart continued to fester, rot, and stink...
She had been with him for ten years and knew nothing about it!
He hid it so well, so incredibly well...
Tears streamed uncontrollably down Yu Sheng's eyelids.
It felt as if my heart had been pierced by a sharp awl.
She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid that he would hear her crying.
After crying for a while, she suddenly remembered something.
She opened the door and ran downstairs.
Gu was sitting at the top of the stairs when he saw Yu Sheng rush out. He immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Sheng acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
Rushing downstairs!
I rushed to the photo wall!!
My eyes quickly scanned the photos above.
He was smiling in every one of their photos together.
Her smile was so gentle and warm!
When the term 'smiling depression' popped into her mind, she broke down emotionally...
She covered her mouth and squatted down, crying.
Gu Ye, who arrived later, saw Yu Sheng crying like this and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Yu Sheng didn't answer, she just huddled up and cried.
She was crying so hard her whole body was shaking!
Gu also knew that Yu Sheng was crying because of the photo wall, but he looked at it and couldn't figure out why.
He grabbed Yu Sheng's shoulders helplessly: "Sheng Sheng, don't scare me, say something..."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but instead threw herself into his arms.
Gu was squatting on the ground when he was pounced on and sat down.
He didn't ask any more questions, but held her tightly in his arms, letting her cry like a child in his embrace.
