The next morning, in the car heading to the police station, Ye Shuo saw that Gu Qingyou's mental state was low and advised him worriedly, "Madam, do you want to go back and rest?
One had to know that Gu Qingyou had slept beside Aunt Shu's sickbed the whole night.
"No need." Gu Qingyou sat in the back seat, her expression still calm as she watched the road in front of him.
Ye Shuo sighed softly and did not speak again.
's visit to Gu Xinmei was extremely successful.
However, the moment he stood outside the visiting room, Gu Qingyou's legs still did not take that step.
Ye Shuo noticed and asked with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"
Gu Qingyou's eyes were filled with pain, she shook her head and replied, "I'm fine." Then she took a deep breath and began to walk.
Ye Shuo did not follow him in, but waited outside the door instead.
Walking into the visiting room, Gu Qingyou saw the unfamiliar yet intimate female figure sitting on the wheelchair, and felt even more pain in her eyes.
She knew this was because emotions were pulling at the tear ducts, and the dampness and heat rushed out of her eyes.
However, Gu Qingyou was so stubborn that she did not want to cry. Even when her eyes were misty, she kept the tears in her eyes.
Gu Xinmei did not dare believe it, and her voice instantly became hoarse, "Qing?? "Quiet??" All of the excited emotions on Gu Xinmei's face had appeared on his trembling hands, but it was a pity that his hands were restrained by the handcuffs.
Gu Qingyou stared at her with her blurry teary eyes.
However, her skin was very white, and her fine features could vaguely tell that she was beautiful when she was young. She used to think that she wasn't like Qu Liyuan in the slightest because she was completely like her father, but now, she realized that she actually looked like her mother, especially her eyebrows. Her features were exactly the same as her mother's, which was why her and Xia Qingchen's facial features were similar.
Her mother looked kind and loving, as if she was seeing the Mrs Jiang for the first time.
But why would such an amiable mother be willing to abandon her in the first place?
If she had not met Jiang Jun, her life would have been ruined by that "biological mother" from before??
Not allowing herself to be weak, Gu Qingyou lifted her hand to wipe the wetness off her face. She slowly walked to the side of her own mother and sat down.
Gu Xinmei's face was already filled with tears as she muttered, "Clear and Serene?? My Daughter..."Quiet??" Her trembling hands really wanted to touch Gu Qingyou's hands, but Gu Xinmei didn't have the courage.
Gu Qingyou took note of Gu Xinmei's hand, but her heart was not sad or happy, because her mother's love for her still could not match the hatred she felt from the bottom of her heart.
She spoke calmly, "Jiang Jun has already promised me, she will think of a way to let you leave the police station without being accused. You can rest assured now."
Gu Xinmei had imagined countless times how she would recognize his daughter, but she had never imagined that it would be someone so foreign. His heart felt as though it was being cut by a knife, and Gu Xinmei's voice couldn't help but tremble, "My daughter, are you angry with your mother?"
Gu Qingyou answered calmly, "If I were you, even if I didn't survive at that time, I would not have abandoned my own daughter."
Gu Xinmei's frail body trembled.
Gu Qingyou closed her eyes, stopping the burning pain from her eyes, before she smiled and said, "I haven't had my mother's love for me for over twenty years, so why would I care about it now?"
Gu Xinmei instantly teared all over her face."Quiet??"
Gu Qingyou shook his head lightly, "Do you know how much I've longed for mother's love over the past twenty odd years? How many times have I felt that my mother was not my own mother, for how could a mother treat her own daughter this way? But I didn't dare to doubt it, because if I didn't even have her, I would be alone in this world?? "So, I tried really hard to please her, tried really hard to do everything she wanted me to do. I only wanted to see a moment of love in her eyes, even if it was only for a second??"
Gu Xinmei choked back her sobs, and her tears fell even harder than before."Jingjing, it's all mother's fault for treating you so shamelessly??"
Gu Qingyou's eyes were filled with pain, but she still maintained her bitter smile, "When I found out that Qu Liyuan was not my biological mother, I should have been happy, but I couldn't smile. Even when I remembered that my biological mother was a very capable woman, and had always longed to meet me, I couldn't smile?? Because from the moment she abandoned me, she chose hatred instead of me."
"Sorry, quiet??" "Sorry??" Gu Xinmei puked out in guilt. Every word that she said was like a needle stabbing into her heart.
Seeing her biological mother's haggard face that was filled with tears, Gu Qingyou finally could not bear to continue. She took in a deep breath and did not say anything more.
Gu Xinmei trembled as she moved forward, and in the end, held onto Gu Qingyou's hand.
Feeling the warmth of his biological mother's palm, Gu Qingyou's eyes, which had always been red, finally lost control at this moment, were covered by a thin layer of tears.
Gu Xinmei held Gu Qingyou's hand very tightly, as she said in a choked voice, "Mother didn't know Qu Liyuan would treat you like this, mother thought Aunt Shu would take care of you?? All of this is Mom's fault for letting you suffer so much in the past?? But please believe, mother is always missing you. In these past twenty odd years, mother has not been able to sleep at ease throughout the night. Mother has regretted handing you, who are still in your infancy, to Qu Liyuan countless times?? "
Gu Qingyou looked at Gu Xinmei in a daze. Even though she did not retract her hand, her heart was filled with pain.
Gu Xinmei continued, "Everything that mother has done is for your sake, quiet and quiet?? You must believe in your mother."
Gu Qingyou shook her head in grief.
Gu Xinmei felt her heart ache, "You don't believe me?"
Her tears were flowing recklessly, yet Gu Qingyou maintained her calm voice, only, she couldn't control her hoarseness."If you are really doing this for me, you won't let Dan Yan go against Jiang Jun."
Gu Xinmei immediately clenched Gu Qingyou's hands even tighter, pain could be seen in her eyes that were filled with tears, "Don't tell me that you still want to choose to be with Jiang Jun today?"
Gu Qingyou took a deep breath, "His methods might be inappropriate, but his feelings for me are sincere."
Gu Xinmei shook her head vigorously, "Silly daughter?? How can you trust him? He has always been entangled with the woman named Su whom Dan Yan loves. How could he fall in love with you in the short span of a few months? "
"I will personally differentiate the feelings he has towards me, but the reason why you are persuading me now, is more because of your hatred towards the people from Jiang Family, right?" Gu Qingyou asked in a low voice.
Gu Xinmei was speechless for a moment.
Gu Qingyou continued, "I will not interfere with the hatred between you and the Mrs Jiang, I just want to tell you that?? Perhaps you are my biological mother, but in the past twenty odd years, I have never felt anything like you. But, Mrs Jiang?? From the first time she saw me, she treated me as her own daughter?? So, if you seek revenge on Mrs Jiang, should I look for Mrs Jiang to repay this gratitude? "
Gu Xinmei didn't reply for a long time.
Gu Qingyou withdrew her hand from Gu Xinmei's palm bit by bit, and then she got up from the chair. At that moment, her clear pupils had already been covered by tears, but she had never allowed tears to flow out of the corner of her eyes. She held her mother's hand tightly and said slowly, "Hatred isn't something that can only be resolved through revenge, is it?"
Gu Xinmei slowly leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes in pain."Jingjing, you will think this way. Mom doesn't blame you because you'll never be able to understand what your mother went through??"
"I know." Gu Qingyou said in a hoarse voice, "The pain and grievances that you had suffered, were all played in my mind the moment I found out. But when the Mrs Jiang went to jail and Jiang Jun and I split up, would that result be enough to satisfy you? "
"Yin Sunuo going to prison is her responsibility. As for Jiang Jun?? I don't believe in his feelings for you. I just think you were fooled by him." Opening her eyes, Gu Xinmei said.
Gu Qingyou shook her head and said determinedly, "But I believe him!"
"Silly daughter??" Gu Xinmei sighed helplessly, "Could it be that my biological mother will harm you? If Jiang Jun is really worth it for you to stay together with him for your entire life, Mom is willing to give up on hatred, but he doesn't really love you?? "
"That was just your misunderstanding." Gu Qingyou said in a serious tone, "If he loves Su Mo, he can totally be with her. He doesn't need to waste time on me."
"Quiet??"
This time, Gu Qingyou directly interrupted her mother's explanation, "Please think carefully, is hatred only resolved through retaliation? But no matter what decision you make, I respect you."
Finished speaking, Gu Qingyou turned around and was about to leave.
"Clear and quiet!" Gu Xinmei had already walked to the door and said hoarsely, "Mom will not allow you to be with Jiang Jun no matter what. Even if you hate Mom, Mom will not allow you?? Putting aside his past feelings, a person as sinister and cruel as him is simply unsuitable for you."
Gu Qingyou stopped at the door and laughed softly with bitterness."But you forgot, I'm already married to him?? So if you don't think he's right for me, why didn't you remind me earlier? "
Gu Xinmei's body shook violently, and in the next second, she leaned back in her chair in a daze.
Gu Qingyou's tears finally flowed out of the corner of her eyes and ran down her face, wetting her clothes.
Through the monitoring system of the police station, Gu Qingyou and Gu Xinmei's conversation was sent to Jiang Jun who was far away in Su Kaiqi.
Jiang Jun was pleased in her heart, because no matter how much hatred Gu Qingyou had towards him, she trusted his feelings.
He will let Gu Xinmei go, but if Gu Xinmei doesn't want to let go of him right now, don't blame him for not showing mercy!
A heavy footstep broke Jiang Jun's train of thoughts, and from the huge glass curtain in front of him, Jiang Jun saw her exhausted father.
Director Jiang looked at his son's cold and proud figure that stood in front of the French window, and said slowly, "Your mother told you yesterday that she was going to turn herself in, and you already agreed?"
