CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 225: GU, YOU BASTARD!

Through tear-blurred eyes, Bei Ran saw such a heartbreaking scene.

She ran over and stood before them.

No matter how hard it was to be with Gu Qingchen, he was loyal to her, and that made it all worthwhile.

No matter how many difficulties lay between her and Gu Qingchen, as long as their hearts were connected, they could weather any storm.

But why? Why was he wearing a doctor’s gown, holding another woman?

"Qingchen..." Bei Ran called his name with a sobbing voice.

At that moment, her heart was in turmoil.

No matter how rational or calm she was, she was still a woman, still a mother who loved her child, heartbroken at her daughter’s illness with no family by her side.

Her heart felt as if it was being ceaselessly scratched by a cat’s sharp claws.

Her heart was like a tangled knot, endlessly entwining her heart, impossible to untie.

However, before he even lifted his head, Bei Ran saw the woman in his arms.

"Ji Su..." Bei Ran never imagined that the woman in Gu Qingchen’s arms would be Ji Su.

Ji Su was as gentle as ever, like a ripple that could sway others with her movements, "Miss Bei, I just twisted my ankle, Qingchen... my brother was just checking on it for me, he’s a doctor...

Qingchen? Ji Su calls him Qingchen?

That was such an intimate way to address him, wasn’t she supposed to call him ’brother’ along with Gu Yucheng?

Bei Ran looked at Gu Qingchen, but she could only see his back, "Qingchen, I have something to say to you..."

"Didn’t you see that Susu has hurt her foot?" Gu Qingchen sternly reprimanded.

"Qingchen..." Ji Su was somewhat surprised, yet her face beamed with joy.

"Come on, I’ll carry you upstairs!" Gu Qingchen, holding Ji Su, headed towards her apartment building.

With tears clouding her vision, Bei Ran watched their departing figures, she yelled loudly, "Qingchen, Xiaoyu is sick... She is ill..."

She knew he cared the most about his daughter, he wouldn’t abandon his daughter for another woman...

Sure enough, Gu Qingchen’s footsteps halted, he did not turn around, but said, "Xiaoyu’s illness can’t bring her back to my side, Bei Ran, you know I can only choose one, you or the child."

Bei Ran’s heart ached; she never expected Gu Qingchen to say such a thing!

She had always thought he was willing to be with her wholeheartedly, but everything changed when faced with his ex-girlfriend, right?

Bei Ran should have realized who his ex-girlfriend was.

The feud between Gu Qingchen and Gu Yucheng was not just about Gu Group; it was also about a woman named Ji Su!

Could this be the reason why Gu Qingchen always got angry every time she had contact with Gu Yu?

But she never asked, and he never told.

Everyone understood, but only when things were laid bare did they realize how deeply wounded their hearts were.

Bei Ran’s heart had never hurt this much, especially at this blurred moment when she saw Ji Su kiss Gu Qingchen’s lips...

Although Ji Su was in his arms, she was facing Bei Ran, every movement of Ji Su pulling at Bei Ran’s heart.

At this moment, Bei Ran felt her mind go completely blank.

Gu Qingchen’s lips, he had kissed her many times.

She always said she didn’t care about any women before her, and she wouldn’t care.

But after her, that’s different!

"Gu Qingchen, you bastard!" Bei Ran yelled angrily at his retreating figure.

But at this moment, not only was this man kissing Ji Su, difficult to separate, but he was also carrying Ji Su upstairs with large strides!

Bei Ran felt that all her persistence had collapsed.

All the beliefs she had held firm to were crumbling down.

She thought that as long as she was with him, no difficulty was insurmountable.

Clearly, she had overestimated her own strength.

And an ex-girlfriend had completely changed Gu Qingchen’s heart.

He could actually disregard her feelings, and then brazenly walk away with another woman!

Bei Ran slowly squatted down on the ground, "Gu Qingchen, how could you hurt me like this? How could you?"

Bei Ran was unwilling to believe it, so she decided to follow and see for herself!

Just as Bei Ran was about to follow upstairs, she received another video.

She hurriedly wiped her tears away and then clicked to watch.

Little Fishy, crying pitifully, said: "Mommy, I miss mommy, I miss daddy..."

The child’s voice, laden with sobs and heavy with nasal congestion, cried for a while and kept saying: "Daddy, I don’t want other doctors to give me shots, I only want daddy to give me shots..."

"Daddy... daddy... why won’t you come see me..." Little Fishy’s repeated crying complaints seemed to cry right into Bei Ran’s heart, she held the phone with both hands, sobbing with all her might...

Even if Bei Ran understood in her heart that this was Gu Bohan’s psychological tactic, how could she remain indifferent?

She is Little Fishy’s mother, after a ten-month pregnancy, five years of time together, that child is the apple of her eye!

It has to be said, how ruthless Gu Bohan’s strategy was. He forced Bei Ran to leave on her own accord. If she didn’t, eventually Little Fishy would be healed, but, the shadow that would loom in her tender heart, how immense would that be!

As Little Fishy’s condition worsened, her mood became more and more troubled, and her yearning for her parents grew heavier.

But, she felt her child was drifting further and further away from her.

She could not hold on any longer!

She just couldn’t!

She wished her child could return to her side immediately, yet she understood that Gu Bohan would definitely not allow her to see her child. But, he would allow Gu Qingchen to see them!

At this moment, Bei Ran, without a care in the world, ran towards Ji Su’s building.

After she ran in, she did not see Ji Su and Gu Qingchen, so she ran to the second floor.

She saw Ji Su sitting on the sofa while Gu Qingchen, in a white robe, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The door of their room was not closed, and Gu Qingchen’s fingers held a cigarette, smoke curling around his fingers.

As Bei Ran went upstairs and before she could speak, she saw Ji Su hop on one foot to Gu Qingchen’s side: "Qingchen, sit down for a bit..."

"No need! You go ahead and sit!" Gu Qingchen said indifferently, "Ji Su, you and I are a thing of the past. I hurt Bei Ran today out of necessity! Take care of yourself!"

"Do you love her?" Ji Su asked faintly.

Gu Qingchen didn’t speak, but he said, "Little Fishy is sick, I can’t abandon anyone..."

Upon hearing this, Bei Ran did not come out. She did not know what Gu Qingchen’s well-meaning intentions were; she only knew that upon hearing his words, all her sorrow and tears were no longer just sadness!

So be it, then!

Qingchen, let this be the end!

Qingchen, knowing your intentions, I can leave with peace of mind!

If he truly loves Little Fishy and Big Fishy, if he has truly moved on from his former partner, then Bei Ran can leave!

Bei Ran did not know how she came downstairs nor how she left Ji Su’s building; all she knew was that the faith she had persisted in ultimately collapsed one day.

She walked as tears streamed down, not understanding what dire circumstances Gu Qingchen had that he couldn’t share with her.

No matter what kind of hardship he had, she could understand.

Why did he conspire with Ji Su to keep her in the dark?

Does she really come across as so unreasonable in his heart?

After all these years by his side, didn’t he understand her feelings?

Or perhaps the Gu Family mansion had too many houses, and as she wandered, she couldn’t find her way out, not knowing which one was Gu Bohan’s main house!

Bei Ran didn’t know how long it’s been since she felt such sadness, all she knew was that she wanted Big Fishy and Little Fishy to come back, and even if she isn’t by their side, she believed Gu Qingchen would love them.

Although, her departure was with such reluctance.

But for the sake of her children, she had to leave...

Bei Ran wandered as if lost in a maze, and hurriedly asked a servant of the Gu Family not far away, "Excuse me, how do I get to Master Gu’s study?"

"Let me take you there!" A young servant led Bei Ran to Gu Bohan’s main villa.

Bei Ran took each step towards the main villa, then knocked on the door of Gu Bohan’s study, placing a letter on his desk.

Bei Ran looked at Gu Bohan with sadness, "I’ve written everything I wanted to say in here. Moreover, with my departure, Qingchen won’t blame anyone. But, I hope Big Fishy and Little Fishy can return to Qingchen’s side..."

"Miss Bei, such a reasonable and understanding woman you are, once you’ve come to terms with everything, things will be much easier to handle." Gu Bohan reached out and took her letter.
