Chapter 160 Unforgiven
"Yanyan, it's all mom's fault. I'm sorry for you! For so many years, you have been silently enduring all the hardships just to make mom's life better. But mom couldn't do anything for you..." Ye Shuang said, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Strangely enough, Ye Shuang's condition had actually gradually improved over the past two years since Gu Yan left her side. Perhaps even she herself hadn't realized it, but deep down she knew very well that her precious daughter, who had always unconditionally embraced and loved her, was no longer by her side.
Xiaoxiao stood quietly by, gazing at the slightly haggard yet loving woman before her. An inexplicable feeling of familiarity welled up in her heart. She hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Are you really my mother?" Her voice was so soft it seemed a gentle breeze could blow it away.
Hearing Xiaoxiao's question, Ye Shuang was slightly startled, then nodded gently and said, "Child, it's true and it's not true either. Yanyan, in fact, you are not my biological daughter, but in my heart, you are no different from my biological daughter." Having said this, Ye Shuang couldn't help but sigh deeply, as if she had made up her mind and continued, "There are some things that I wanted to hide from you for the rest of my life, but now it seems that I can't hide it any longer."
At this moment, He Li, who had been standing silently beside them, turned around and left the room very tactfully. He knew very well that at this moment, they needed to give the mother and daughter enough space to be alone so that they could talk about their long-accumulated thoughts.
About half an hour passed before Xiaoxiao finally figured out the whole story.
She stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked angrily, "So that's it. You were the one who secretly took me away from my biological parents? And all for a man you once loved? Don't you know that this behavior is against the law?"
Ye Shuang knew very well that once she said these words, Gu Yan would be furious and furious, but she never expected the other party's reaction to be so intense.
After all, in her subconscious, she still felt that Gu Yan was still the well-behaved daughter who would tolerate her without any bottom line no matter what.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's tears rolled down like a flood that broke through the dam.
However, after just a moment, she suppressed her inner grief and anger, gradually regaining her composure. She looked Ye Shuang in the eye with a firm gaze and said, "Impossible! Not to mention that I have lost my memory now, even if one day I could recall everything that happened in the past, I would never admit that you are my mother! Never!"
After saying this, Xiaoxiao turned around abruptly and walked away without looking back, leaving Ye Shuang standing there alone, her face full of regret and despair...
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxiao ran out like an arrow, not even glancing at Heli who was still outside the door. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to escape from this place as quickly as possible.
When He Li saw Gu Yan so heartbroken, his heart tightened and he quickly ran after her.
He Li actually didn't know much about Gu Yan's life experience. He only knew the basics and didn't know that Gu Yan was actually secretly taken away by Ye Shuang.
"Gu Yan, wait for me!"
He Li shouted while quickening his pace, taking two steps at a time, and finally caught up with Gu Yan.
However, when he saw Gu Yan's tear-stained face, he couldn't help but be stunned. You know, Gu Yan has always been a strong and tenacious woman. If she hadn't encountered an extremely serious change, she would never cry so easily.
"What exactly happened? What did your mother say to you?" He Li asked anxiously, his eyes full of concern and worry.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan suddenly raised her head, staring at He Li with anger and despair, and shouted, "She is not my mother! And, I am not the Gu Yan you are talking about!"
This roar seemed to have exhausted all of Gu Yan's strength, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
"He Li, why are you with her?"
Along with this cry of surprise, a figure hurriedly approached from a short distance away. When the two men looked in the direction of the voice, they found that the person was Ming Luoluo.
It was such a coincidence that Ming Luoluo happened to be staying in this hotel.
Originally, she stayed in Beihuai for Gong Jin, but Gong Jin was ruthless to her. Later, she was forced by her father to go on a blind date with He Li, but the result was not satisfactory and the blind date ended in failure.
Feeling disheartened, Ming Luoluo decided to leave Beihuai today and return to Quezhou where he was.
But who could have expected that just as she was about to step out of the hotel door, she would encounter such a dramatic scene.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao was in an extremely excited state. She had no time to care about anything happening around her, let alone pay attention to other people.
She turned her body slightly to the side and took a step forward, wanting to leave quickly, as if staying here for one more second would make her feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, just as Xiaoxiao was trying to escape from the scene, Ming Luoluo was quick-witted and reached out to grab Xiaoxiao's arm tightly, making it impossible for Xiaoxiao to escape easily.
"You two actually know each other? Xiaoxiao, could it be that you're secretly doing something shameful behind Gong Jin's back?"
Ming Luoluo widened his eyes and questioned Xiaoxiao with a suspicious look on his face.
Faced with Ming Luoluo's blunt questioning, Xiaoxiao's anger instantly ignited to its peak. She swung her arms violently, trying to break free from Ming Luoluo's restraints, and roared angrily: "What the hell is this to you! Let me go!"
Xiaoxiao had always been a gentle person, her gentle nature like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable. However, precisely because of this, Ming Luoluo often took advantage of Xiaoxiao's good temper and deliberately made things difficult for her time and time again.
But who could have imagined that? Xiaoxiao, who had always been gentle and even somewhat submissive, was like a completely different person today, and she became furious at Ming Luoluo. Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were raised, her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily: "Have you taken a gun? Why are you talking so harshly? Humph, it seems that I really misjudged you before. It turns out that you have been pretending to be weak and gentle in front of Gong Jin, like a little white flower, but now your true face has been revealed!"
Ming Luoluo wasn't the traditionally evil woman. It was simply the environment she grew up in that shaped her into a spoiled and overbearing character. Faced with Xiaoxiao's sudden rage, Ming Luoluo was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and retorted without a shred of weakness, "Stop spouting nonsense! It's obvious you were harboring ulterior motives, and now you're pissed off after I've exposed you!"
Just as the two were arguing, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared at the scene—Ge Yu. He shouted, "Bullshit! My Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person you're talking about! Ming Luoluo, I advise you to shut up, or I'll be rude to you!"
Ge Yu had always harbored a deep prejudice against Ming Luoluo. It could be said that he had no fondness for her from a very early time. Especially before Xiaoxiao appeared in his life, Ge Yu's dislike for Ming Luoluo had already grown like weeds.
And now, this ignorant fellow actually dared to use such unbearable and insulting words to describe the kind and lovely Xiaoxiao! This simply touched Ge Yu's bottom line, and she could no longer tolerate it.
Ge Yu's face was filled with rage, and like an enraged lion, he rushed to Xiao Xiao's side at lightning speed. His furrowed brow, clenched teeth, and slightly trembling body from anger all showed that his inner rage had burned to the extreme.
However, despite this, when she looked at Xiaoxiao, the concern in her eyes was like the warm spring sun, instantly dispelling the coldness around her.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can touch you!"
Ge Yu held Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, as if doing so could give her endless strength and courage to face the current difficulties.
At this moment, Ye Shuang, who had hurried out of the room, caught sight of Ming Luoluo standing not far away. She thought to herself: If I'm not mistaken, this Ming Luoluo must be that person's daughter. Doesn't that mean Gu Yan and Ming Luoluo are biological sisters?
Ming Luoluo, seeing she hadn't gained any advantage in the confrontation, knew that continuing to argue would lead to no good results. After all, she had long heard of Ge Yu's eloquent tongue and knew that if she let him get a hold of her, she would be completely humiliated.
So, Ming Luoluo snorted coldly, rolled her eyes fiercely, and turned around, stepping on her ten-centimeter-high high heels and twisting and turning, leaving only the crisp and loud sound of her high heels echoing in the air...
"He Li! What on earth did you take Xiao Xiao to do?" Ge Yu looked at the man in front of him seriously, a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety in his tone, "I think you must give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I really won't be able to explain it to Gong Jin!"
Ge Yu was no fool; she keenly sensed the strange and subtle atmosphere between He Li and Xiao Xiao. It was like an undercurrent surging beneath the surface of a calm lake, seemingly peaceful but actually concealing a hidden mystery.
Facing Ge Yu's questioning, He Li was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered four simple yet bombshell-like words: "She is Gu Yan."
Hearing these four words, Ge Yu froze in a moment, as if under a spell. Gu Yan… This name was familiar to Ge Yu; it was even etched in his memory. During He Li's time studying abroad, he had only once gotten completely drunk, and the words "Gu Yan" recurred repeatedly in his drunken mumblings.
Although his study abroad experience lasted only a month and a half, Ge Yu vividly remembered that night and the name He Li kept repeating. Hearing the name "Gu Yan" spoken by He Li again, and specifically by Xiao Xiao, whose identity had always been a mystery, Ge Yu's heart was instantly overwhelmed with emotion.
