It was apparent that in his youth, Old Sir Wei was quite a formidable character. Even now, in his old age, his charisma was sothing Wei Yuanren could hardly compare to.
Old Sir Wei scrutinized Gu Wenjuan from head to toe with sharp, critical eyes and said, "So you’re that child?"
Child...
It was the first ti Gu Wenjuan had heard soone refer to her like that.
Indeed.
In the eyes of soone like Old Sir Wei, everyone appeared to be just a child.
Gu Wenjuan lowered her gaze, very obediently, and said, "Hello."
Old Sir Wei nodded, "I’ve heard a little about your situation. I feel deeply sorry about it, but as you know, Wei Yuanren is my son. I won’t allow him to take a woman like you as his wife."
Gu Wenjuan gave a bitter smile, "I understand."
"Now Wei Yuanren seems possessed, always thinking about divorcing his current wife to be with you... do you know about this?"
Gu Wenjuan truly didn’t know. At this mont, hearing the old man’s words, she was montarily bewildered, "He... never told ."
No, that’s not right.
It seed he had ntioned it before.
But before anything could co of it, the child in her womb couldn’t be saved and died.
She thought that would end everything, but from what Old Sir Wei said, it appeared not?
Old Sir Wei looked deeply at Gu Wenjuan, "Is that so? But it seems his attitude is very resolute, insisting on divorce. Is there really nothing you did?"
Gu Wenjuan felt a bit flattered. Thinking about Wei Yuanren’s attitude toward her over the past half month, Gu Wenjuan believed the possibility that this man would divorce for her was very slim.
Thinking this in her heart, Gu Wenjuan faced the old man’s gaze, which seed to see right through her. She couldn’t help but feel nervous and guilty, saying, "I truly don’t know anything, and... he hasn’t treated well. He doesn’t like as much as you think. Could there be so misunderstanding?"
Old Sir Wei looked at her a bit longer, then said calmly, "Whether it’s a misunderstanding, I can’t say, but I’ve seen many young won like you. You’re almost twenty years younger than Wei Yuanren—to put it bluntly, he could be your father. Don’t you think being with such a man is quite inappropriate?"
She thought she had already developed a heart as tough as steel, but facing such words once again, Gu Wenjuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain, like being lashed by a whip, a feeling of humiliation making her skin crawl.
Old Sir Wei just looked at her coolly, "A young girl like you should have a better future ahead."
Gu Wenjuan found it amusing, unable to hold back, she laughed out loud, "Future? When I’ve beco like this, what future could I possibly have?"
Old Sir Wei: "The future is sothing you create with your own hands..."
"Create?" Gu Wenjuan let out a big laugh and extended her hand, revealing the hideous scars, "With these hands? Old Man, don’t tease . To people like you, how could soone as insignificant as have a future? In the eyes of you wealthy people, am I not just soone to call upon or dismiss at will like a beggar? Now that I’m like this, how could there possibly be any future left for ?"
As she spoke, she was already crying uncontrollably, "My future was long destroyed by you rich people with your own hands."
