Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 696 - 697: Can’t Bear to Hate that Face

Chapter 696: Chapter 697: Can’t Bear to Hate that Face

At last, Xia Yangyang spoke up about the incident from four years ago.

There were some things she intended to keep to herself forever, things that happened in the past.

At that time, Xia Weiwei wanted to kill her, but she herself ended up getting seriously hurt, walking the fine line between life and death.

After all, Xia Yangyang remembered that Xia Weiwei was their father’s daughter.

She could not entirely ignore that thin thread of blood relationship.

This time she came back, Xia Yangyang had no intentions to revisit the accident.

However, Xia Yangyang never expected…

Although she had forgiven and moved on…

Xia Weiwei’s obsession still lingered, unresolved.

She still harbors such malicious thoughts.

She still wishes for her death.

Xia Yangyang felt a chilling coldness start from the soles of her feet and spread to every limb, every internal organ.

Even the air she breathed felt icy cold.

Gu Qichen was also furious after hearing her story.

For years, he had resented Xia Yangyang for her sudden disappearance.

However, he never realized that she had gone through such a horrific experience.

He knew about Xia Weiwei pretending to be Xia Yangyang due to her feigned amnesia these past few years.

She had even gone to the extreme of undergoing surgery to look like Xia Yangyang.

Every time Gu Qichen saw that face, it left him in a sort of trance.

Despite feeling a deep loathing for Xia Weiwei in his heart…

Whenever she was silent, looking at that surgically altered face…

He would deceive himself over and again, dreaming that Xia Yangyang had come back to him.

But deep down, Gu Qichen knew, it was nothing but self-deception.

He just couldn’t bring himself to detest that face, that’s it.

Fang Zhengdong stood by his side.

Gu Qichen suddenly said to Fang Zhengdong, “Find Xia Weiwei, bring her here.”

Fang Zhengdong replied, “CEO, even without your orders, I had my suspicions when Han Cheng confessed to being the behind-the-scenes operator. I have already located Xia Weiwei. She’s currently staying in the presidential suite of the Junyue International Hotel. However, do you want me to bring her here, or directly hand her over to the police, and make her confess?”

Gu Qichen uttered in a cold voice, “Bring her here.”

“Alright, CEO.”

Xia Yangyang felt a persistent headache.

She can’t think about anything now.

Gu Qichen said, “You should rest for a while. The poison has affected you deeply, today won’t be easy.”

Xia Yangyang fell into a deep, heavy sleep once again.

Yet she woke up soon.

She vaguely heard the sound of Fang Zhengdong opening the door and saying that Xia Weiwei was brought over.

Gu Qichen left Xia Yangyang’s hospital room.

Xia Yangyang tried hard to open her eyes.

Xia Weiwei has arrived, she will get a clear picture now.

With great effort, Xia Yangyang sat up.

She stayed awake for a while, and thereafter got down off the bed.

Even though her head ached terribly, her thoughts had become clearer.

Xia Yangyang also slowly made her way out of the room.

This was the VIP ward in the hospital.

The decor was quite similar to a presidential suite in a hotel.

Xia Yangyang’s sickroom was essentially her bedroom.

At present, Gu Qichen and Xia Weiwei were talking in the sitting room outside.

Xia Yangyang just slightly opened the door.

She peeped through the crack in the door at the two people inside the sitting room.

There, Xia Weiwei was pleading, looking innocent and fearful, “Brother-in-law, you have to believe me. I didn’t do it. Han Cheng is trying to frame me to clear his own guilt. I found out about my mom’s extramarital affair with Han Cheng long ago, so I have always disliked him. He was just looking for an opportunity to drag me down into this. Brother-in-law, you must believe me. How could I hurt my sister? Now that my mother is in prison, in this world, she is the only one close to me. I would never harm her.”

Standing in the doorway, Xia Yangyang took in Xia Weiwei’s pleas.

She could not help but feel the immense irony of it all.
