Chapter 152 Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie's "Deep Love Between Mother and Son"
Every diners has a past, and they all felt distressed when they saw Gu Qing.
Gu Qingshi wiped away a tear, "These days it has been my uncle, aunt, and Xiaoxue who have been helping me. Now her face is ruined because of helping me. Tell me, how can I forgive them and what should I do in the future."
Gu Qingshi reached out to grab the fruit knife and crawled over, putting the knife in Bai Zhen's hand and stretching his neck, "I just don't know how to face Bai Xue, and you still want me to forgive you, Mom, why don't you just kill me, and I'll give this life back to you."
Bai Zhen was shocked when he saw the knife in his hand. He threw it away and stepped back hastily. "Qing Shi, don't scare me. Get up quickly. How could I kill you?"
"Killing people is like destroying their hearts. Haven't you been trying to kill me all along? Don't run away while everyone is here."
Gu Qingshi's tears fell on Bai Zhen's hand, and Bai Zhen seemed to be burned. "Qingshi, don't be like this, don't say anything, and don't cry. I feel bad."
Gu Qingshi sneered in his heart. Why was she upset? Would she feel uncomfortable too?
Her tears were half real and half fake. At first she was just acting, but later when she talked and thought of the past and the grievances, her tears became real. She realized that what she had always wanted to ask was just that she had never had the chance. She had waited for two lifetimes before finally getting the answer.
"Can't I cry anymore? Fine, I won't cry. You told me when we were little that crying children are unlucky and unlovable. So I won't cry."
Gu Qingshi wiped her tears and said, "Mom, I won't cry anymore. Then why don't you kill me? You gave birth to me and raised me. I owe you this, and I will pay you back."
Bai Zhen looked at Gu Qingshi and trembled as he retreated. "Gu Qingshi, stop talking. When did I ever say I wanted your life? I never wanted your life."
"You are going to kill her anyway?" An aunt who was watching interrupted Bai Zhen with a sneer and asked Gu Qingshi directly, "Boss Gu, are you her biological daughter? How can a mother force her daughter like this?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded and said, "Yes, this is not a biological mother. I have only heard of stepmothers being mean to stepchildren, but I have never heard of biological mothers being mean to their biological daughters."
"I can tell at first glance that she is not a good person. She pretends to be weak and cries, and even kneels down to force her daughter. Bah, she is still her biological mother. Even her stepmother is not as bad as her."
"That's right. We were having a good meal, but she put on this whole show. Isn't she just trying to use us to achieve her goals?"
"She thought we were easy to use, but we're not fools. Beat her out!"
"Yes, get out! You have the nerve to beg me for mercy! Duan Lingling is so vicious! She deserves to be imprisoned for the rest of her life."
"That's right, you don't want to let her go to jail, and wait for her to come out before harming Boss Gu?"
Bai Zhen looked at the angry faces of the crowd and was scared for the first time. "I... I..."
"What do you mean by 'I'? You can't say it anymore, right? Don't even think about forcing Boss Gu again."
"Yes, Boss Gu, we are all here. If she dares to force you again, come to us and we will help you scold her away."
Bai Zhen wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with spit, "Stop talking, get out!"
This spit was like a signal, and it kept coming. Bai Zhen screamed and hugged her face in embarrassment, "What are you doing? How could you do this to me!"
"That's how I treat you. I've only heard that you're a good stepmother before, and I thought you were better to your own children, but it turns out you're so bad to your own children. You don't deserve to be a mother!"
"Yes, worse than a beast."
No one would look down upon someone who is not good to their own children. This time, Gu Qingshi didn't even need to say anything, everyone drove Bai Zhen away.
Gu Qingshi was stunned, she didn't expect that changing the approach would lead to such an unexpected gain. At first, she sneered when she heard someone sympathizing with Bai Zhen, but she didn't expect that the two people who first sympathized with Bai Zhen would be the ones who scolded Bai Zhen the most.
After driving Bai Zhen away, they came to comfort Gu Qingshi and even apologized, saying that they had spoken carelessly without understanding the situation and they would not be fooled again in the future.
Bai Zhong, Bai Yang and Shen Muqi, who were originally prepared to help Gu Qingshi kill everyone, looked at each other in surprise for a moment after watching this scene.
After being comforted, Gu Qingshi sat in front of the cashier in a daze after seeing the guests off. It was the first time she cried for Bai Zhen after her rebirth. When she died in her previous life, she had already made up her mind that she would no longer believe in tears and would not cry, but she failed to do so.
Shen Muqi handed Gu Qingshi a glass of water, "Sister, don't be sad, she doesn't care about you, and we don't care about her either."
Gu Qingshi shook his head. "I'm not sad, just a little tired. If I had known, I would have prepared some chili peppers or ginger so that I wouldn't have to cry so hard."
Shen Muqi laughed when he heard it, and Gu Qingshi also laughed, "I'm serious."
After laughing, Gu Qingshi narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What's wrong with her? She always feels sorry for others, feeling sorry for this and that, and running around to help Duan Lingling like this."
Shen Muqi smiled, “There’s nothing wrong, it’s just that my waist doesn’t hurt when I’m standing and talking.”
Gu Qingshi hummed, his eyes cold, "If she doesn't feel the pain herself, she will never know the pain. If she had felt it, she wouldn't have said so lightly to ask me not to pursue the matter."
Shen Muqi's eyes were grim, "Yes." She should be allowed to feel it too.
Bai Zhen, covered in insults and spit, went to see Duan Lingling crying. She wanted to tell her that she had tried her best and was scolded for it. However, Duan Lingling could not see her embarrassment and grievance at all. When she heard that nothing had been accomplished, she started to scold her for being useless.
Bai Zhen didn't know how she left. She was completely confused on the way back. Didn't she want a good reputation and a harmonious family in her life, but in the end, she got nothing?
She returned home feeling frustrated and saw Duan Renjie when she opened the door. Duan Renjie could tell at a glance that she was in a bad mood, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Looking at Duan Renjie's concerned face, Bai Zhen's tears suddenly fell. Fortunately, she still had Renjie.
"What happened?" Duan Renjie reached out and wiped away the tears on Bai Zhen's face. "Who bullied you? I'll help you get revenge."
Bai Zhen's face was covered with more tears. She leaned against Duan Renjie and was about to tell him about her grievances, but suddenly she remembered something, stepped back abruptly, and asked nervously, "Your father is not at home, right?"
"She's not here. She said she was going to find someone she knows to see if Duan Lingling can be released." Duan Renjie took Bai Zhen back.
When Duan Gang heard that Duan Lingling was arrested, he was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of his mouth. It was true that he loved his daughter, but he was more afraid of losing face. He absolutely could not accept having a daughter in jail, so he tried his best to look for her everywhere.
When Bai Zhen heard that Duan Gang was not there, she relaxed and said, "That's good." She let Duan Renjie hold her and walk inside.
"It's all Dad's fault for being too worried, otherwise you wouldn't have to be so nervous." Duan Renjie and Bai Zhen sat down on the sofa, very close to each other.
