Chapter 789: 789 Girl’s Fate is not Good (1)_1
Gu Liancheng’s hands were folded leisurely together. In response to her question, he calmly counter-questioned, "I’m not sure what you mean, Auntie?"
"Why did you marry Little Snow?" Luo Qing continued, "Did you marry her because you liked her?"
"Auntie, it’s not that I don’t understand the meaning of your words," Gu Liancheng smiled, "What I don’t understand is why you’re asking. Whether I like her or not, and whether I want to marry her, have no connection in a high-society marriage, correct?"
Luo Qing was about to respond, but stopped herself.
Then, Gu Liancheng added, "Or perhaps, what I really want to ask is, does getting an answer to this correlate with why you’ve come today? What impact would it have on Qianxun? Moreover, would telling you ’yes’ or ’no’ satisfy you? This links to the reason for your visit today: to protect Little Snow, or to protect Qianxun?"
Luo Qing was taken aback.
Just by watching, she could not determine whom he veered toward – Little Snow or Qianxun.
No one could see through Gu Liancheng’s intentions, unless he intentionally showed them.
"More than a decade ago, Auntie, you chose your wealth and reputation over Qianxun. That inflicted a deep wound in a ten-year-old child, leading her to face countless misfortunes over the next few years. You wouldn’t know about this," he said.
Luo Qing felt shame at his words. They brought back painful memories, stirring profound sorrow in her heart.
"I know...I know... I’ve spent these years blaming myself... Qianqian was always good... She was well-behaved since childhood..." Tear-filled regret stained Luo Qing’s cheeks, "She was always excellent academically, always giving one hundred percent to everything to demonstrate how hard she could work. Despite Qianqian’s good nature, I blamed everything on her... I let a child bear... I am guilty... If heaven could grant me another chance, I surely wouldn’t do this again... I’ve been left with nothing but regret..."
"Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Some opportunities only come once, and when they’re gone, they’re gone," he said.
After regaining her composure, Luo Qing continued: "It’s been many years... Back then, I actually thought she was no longer alive. I thought it was a good thing, at least Qianqian wouldn’t suffer anymore in this world. That she would reincarnate into a good family, instead of living a life like this one... But since I’ve seen Qianqian again, aside from happiness, regret, and self-blame, all I feel is fear. I dare not imagine her life in the orphanage, I dare not guess if she was wronged and had nowhere to turn to. I don’t let Jingyang investigate further because I’m scared..."
"You’re right not to investigate," Gu Liancheng advised.
Before she married him.
He would not dare to claim that he made her very happy during those four years, but at least, he had not allowed her to suffer much.
This was the case with him, let alone without him.
"You just mentioned you blamed Qianxun for the mistakes and responsibilities... what do you mean?" he asked.
"It was due to her biological father," Luo Qing gathered herself, as she was here to reveal this today, "Mr. Qian."
