Chapter 151: Every word, every cry
Bai Xue gradually got better. In contrast, Duan Lingling, who was hospitalized only one day later than Bai Xue, was not so lucky. Her condition was much worse than Bai Xue's, and her recovery was not as good.
Firstly, she didn't have the blessing of spiritual spring water and space vegetables, and secondly, she didn't have a favorable environment to recuperate. The police didn't arrest her immediately, but two people were left at the hospital to take turns guarding Duan Lingling to prevent her from escaping.
Duan Lingling was already under a lot of pressure, and as they watched, more people came to watch. Duan Lingling was in great pain, and was especially afraid that Qin Zeming would see her, so she insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
She wanted to go home, but as soon as she was released from the hospital, she was immediately arrested.
"Please let me go. I'm not well yet. I'm leaving the hospital just because I can't stand everyone's stares. I want to go home."
"Go home? Do you think you are still the same as before, and can go wherever you want? Take me away!"
"I won't go. I won't be discharged from the hospital. I want to go back and continue to stay in the hospital." Duan Lingling regretted it again, but this time there was no room for her to regret.
"You've already been discharged from the hospital, why are you still staying here? Take him away!"
Duan Lingling was scared, she looked at Bai Zhen and cried, "Mom, please save me, I don't want to go to jail, save me!"
Bai Zhen asked the police for help, but this was not something she could do. Bai Zhen tried everything but it was still useless. The only way was to try to get Gu Qingshi not to hold Duan Lingling responsible.
The day after Duan Lingling was taken to the police station, Bai Zhen appeared at the door of Gu's kitchen. She looked weak and frail, and when she saw Gu Qing, she burst into tears without saying a word.
"Qingshi, Lingling already knows she was wrong. She has already paid the price for her damaged face. You have already taken revenge, so don't hold her responsible and settle the matter privately. She is going crazy in the police station now. Her face and body haven't healed yet. If she continues like this, someone will die."
"The evil has lasted for thousands of years, and he will never die." Seeing Bai Zhen appear, Gu Qingshi curled his lips in sarcasm, without changing his expression, "I still have business to do, you go out first."
"Qing Shi, how can you be so heartless? She is your sister after all. Even if she did something wrong, you should give her a chance to reform. Just let her go and don't let her go to jail. Her life will be ruined if she goes to jail."
Bai Zhen cried miserably, and Gu Qingshi's face became colder and colder. "She is pitiful, but what about Bai Xue? Bai Zhen, as her aunt, have you ever visited Bai Xue? Bai Xue is your niece. She is still lying in the hospital and has not been discharged yet. Her face and hands are completely destroyed. Do you have the nerve to beg for her?"
"If it wasn't for Bai Xue, I would be the one lying in the hospital and ruined! Bai Zhen, you said I was heartless, what about you?"
Bai Zhen froze for a moment, then burst into tears, "I was wrong, Qingshi, I know I'm sorry, but Lingling is also my daughter. She lost her mother when she was young, and I can't just ignore her. Qingshi, mommy kneels down to you, please, let her go."
When Bai Zhen knelt, the diners who were pointing and making comments quieted down. Bai Zhen didn't seem to notice and just started knocking her head. "Everything is my fault, Qingshi, I beg you, for the sake of me giving birth to you and raising you, please listen to me this time, for the last time."
Everyone looked at Bai Zhen crying so pitifully, her forehead suddenly turned red. Some diners felt a little sorry for her and were moved with sympathy.
"Boss Gu, why don't you just listen to your mother. After all, she is your biological mother. She has even knelt down for you."
"Yes, I heard about it too. Duan Lingling was wrong, but she got her comeuppance. We are a family, and even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected."
"I don't think it's right. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. The girl's face was ruined, and her life was ruined. How can we just kowtow a few times and let it go?"
"Yeah, so what if she's my biological mother? Even if she's my biological mother, she can't do whatever she wants."
Everyone had different opinions and there was some quarreling. Bai Zhen was relieved to hear someone speaking up for her. She deliberately chose to come when there were the most customers just to get someone to speak up for her. Now that she had finally achieved her goal, she secretly looked at Gu Qingshi's expression.
Gu Qingshi listened to everyone's discussion, looked at Bai Zhen's expression, snorted, and used the same trick again.
Gu Qingshi clenched his fists and was about to curse back as he did before, but out of the corner of his eye he saw an auntie next to him looking at Bai Zhen with pity and sympathy.
Gu Qingshi paused. She had scolded and mocked Bai Zhen for kneeling, but Bai Zhen never listened to her. And it worked every time. If she beat Bai Zhen out today, maybe someone would say she was unfilial.
Maybe there could be another way. Gu Qingshi made a decision in an instant. Bai Zhen was not the only one who would do this, she would do it too.
It would be better to give her a taste of her own medicine and use her own method to deal with her.
Gu Qingshi loosened his fist and covered his face with his hands, "Mom, please don't force me. I beg you, please give me a way to live!"
"If I am the one who disfigures my face and injures my hand, my life will be ruined. I was born and raised by you, so I will die. I will give my life back to you. I will listen to you. After all, you taught me to give in to my sister since I was a child. My sister is the treasure and I am the weed."
"But this time it wasn't me who got hurt, it was Xiaoxue. She's my uncle and aunt's baby. How can I help her? If I do this, even if I die, it won't be enough to apologize. How can I face my uncle and aunt, and how can I still face Xiaoxue?"
"Mom, I beg you, please let me go. I followed you and married into the Duan family, worked like a slave to serve Duan Lingling, and I accepted being bullied and beaten by them for your sake, but today I can't."
Gu Qingshi briefly told about Bai Zhen's previous discriminatory treatment and what she had done, and also mentioned what Duan Lingling had done. Her voice was a bit shrill, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Just when everyone was about to feel helpless, Gu Qingshi seemed unable to bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground, tears starting to flow.
This is a complete story of blood and tears of being a stepdaughter. No one would have thought that Boss Gu Qingshi had such a past.
Everyone was shocked and felt sorry for Gu Qingshi, who was usually so strong and straightforward, when they saw him become like this. Several people even shed tears.
This is the contrast effect. If a person has always been strong and suddenly becomes weak, the effect will be a hundred times stronger than if he has always been weak.
The little sympathy that Bai Zhen had received before was instantly transferred to Gu Qingshi, and there was even a lot more pity.
Bai Zhen was dumbfounded by the reversal in front of her. Gu Qingshi would never be like this before. She thought Gu Qingshi would get furious and drive her away, and even thought that Gu Qingshi would hit her, but she didn't expect her to show weakness.
She wanted to say something, but Gu Qingshi stepped forward and didn't give her a chance. She looked at Bai Zhen with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I just want to ask you one question. How long are you going to torture me? Because I didn't give my job to Duan Lingling, you kicked me out of the house. I finally had two days of good life, and you guys came to ruin it. How long will I have to work like a slave before you are satisfied?"
Every word is heart-wrenching.
