Chapter 492 Gu Chenzhou Extra 8
Seeing this, Gu Chenzhou suddenly became panicked.
He hurriedly took out a handkerchief from the inside pocket of his suit and wanted to wipe Qingwu's tears.
Seeing Qingwu crying sadly, he was afraid that his actions would hurt her.
She looked so cautious, as if she were an extremely precious piece of porcelain.
"I'm sorry, am I..."
Gu Chenzhou's tone was gentle yet with a hint of self-blame, his voice trembling slightly, as if his heart was twisted into a ball because of Qingwu.
Qingwu herself did not expect that the effect of these tears would be so good.
She originally just wanted to cry a little to attract Gu Chenzhou's attention, but she didn't expect that he would care so much.
That important figure who could make the village chief grovel before him, was now looking at her with such cautious eyes, with a look of pity, self-blame and guilt on his face.
It seems like I can give her everything.
Such tenderness instantly broke down Qingwu's defenses. She subconsciously did not use any extra words to hide her emotions. She just choked up and poured out all the grievances and pains that had been accumulated deep in her heart for many years.
"I...my parents want to marry me to a local rich man who is old enough to be my father in exchange for a dowry," Qingwu's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her throat, with the difficulty of breaking out of a cocoon.
Every word seemed to be weighed down by heavy pressure, revealing endless sorrow and despair.
Her beautiful eyes were misty, and the tears hanging on her eyelashes trembled slightly with her sobs. "They say that girls are born to lose money..."
Qingwu's voice became lower and lower, so low that almost only she could hear it, but the sadness and pain in her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Chenzhou's heart hard.
She looked pitiful and trembling as she exaggeratedly expressed her grievances. When she was desperate, Qingwu's nails dug deeply into Gu Chenzhou's palm, as if only in this way could she slightly ease the pain in her heart.
Gu Chenzhou listened quietly to Qingwu's confession, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
In fact, he had already found out about Qingwu's experience through various channels, but at this moment, listening to her crying voice, his heart still ached so much that he couldn't help himself.
He looked down at Qingwu's knuckles, which had turned white from exertion, and imagined how many tears this girl had swallowed alone and how much pain and grievances she had endured in the past days.
His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed the surging anger with difficulty.
How could anyone be willing to treat their own daughter like this?
Gu Chenzhou is an only child and has only one nephew among his relatives.
It can be said that this family has very few members among the wealthy families.
But he thought, if he had such a daughter, he would definitely hold her in the palm of his hand, protect her, love her, and never let her suffer any harm.
His daughter is so adorable, and he feels happy and happy just thinking about her.
A daughter like Qingwu...
You will definitely hold it in your hand for fear of it breaking, and hold it in your mouth for fear of it melting.
Qingwu deserves the best.
In fact, Qingwu’s parents did not say that they abused Qingwu.
It's just that their thinking makes them favor boys over girls, which leads to them not caring about Qingwu's feelings and needs at all.
In their eyes, Qingwu's greatest value is nothing more than getting married in exchange for a generous betrothal gift.
My parents have little education, and most people in the village are the same, so it is unlikely that they will change their concepts and ideas.
But Qingwu felt that she was not someone who was willing to live this kind of life, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
