CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 229: HE "TORTURES HER TO CONFESS" THE TRUTH!

She looked at the handsome face in front of her, at the person who was once so familiar, yet she, a woman who has never gotten physical with anyone her whole life, had just slapped Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen was also stunned. Born into a wealthy family, never having been crossed by a woman before, he did not expect Bei Ran, who was always understanding and reasonable, to hit him!

And this woman was someone he was willing to cherish with all his heart!

His handsome face darkened, his eyes and eyebrows filled with anger: "Bei Ran, have you caused enough trouble?"

He had a temper too, he had just never let it show before.

Bei Ran felt her palm burning, this person she had hit was also the man she once loved the most, such a feeling of determination was making her own heart tremble continuously.

Looking at the light red mark on his handsome face, at that moment, it felt as if her heart was bleeding too. She wished it was he who had slapped her.

But then, Gu Bohan’s words echoed in her ear: "Miss Bei, I don’t wish for you and Qingchen to be in contact anymore. He needs to focus on his work at the company, please don’t distract him! If you distract him, I can’t guarantee that the two children will still be able to live by his side. Of course, as long as you wisely leave him, I naturally won’t treat the children unfairly!"

In the end, Gu Bohan had always wanted the children and Gu Qingchen to return to the Gu Family’s luxurious life, and he had never really wanted Bei Ran, yet Bei Ran was an important pawn in his hands.

Now, with Gu Qingchen working at the company, and the two children back within the Gu Family, Bei Ran had become a pawn that Gu Bohan was ready to abandon.

"Miss Bei, I think you wouldn’t want the children to become ill without Qingchen by their side!" said Gu Bohan, his words sharp as a needle, each one piercing her heart.

"Fine! I’ll leave!" Bei Ran suddenly thought of Song Xiaoyin, a wonderful woman who had been living alone abroad for years. Could it be that he also forced her to leave in this way?

Bei Ran took back the letter in his hand and then shredded it!

The reason for Gu Bohan’s dissatisfaction with her was solely because she did not have a family background that could compete with the Gu Family, nor could she match their level.

Bei Ran never thought about marrying into a wealthy family and transforming from a sparrow to a phoenix overnight.

But reality is always this cruel and helpless.

If she wants to be with Gu Qingchen, how many years of effort must she put in, and she might still not match his family background.

Or perhaps, this departure is for life...

However, before Bei Ran left, she spoke with a scornful tone: "Mr. Gu, please find someone who acts better next time, otherwise I might think that your acting skills are just this mediocre!"

Having said that, she watched as Gu Bohan’s face turned livid, then she pulled open the door and left without looking back.

After leaving the Gu Family’s house, Bei Ran didn’t go anywhere else, she just sat by the seaside.

Bei Ran remembered a song she heard as a child, "Whenever I feel sad, I watch the sea alone..."

From childhood to adulthood, every time she felt sad, she would sit by the seaside, watching the white waves sweep in, the natural ebb and flow of the tide, the weary birds returning to their nests, the sky darken, and the night fall.

But the more she grew up, the more she felt that some sadness is incurable by anything.

She once thought that not being in love, breaking up would not be painful.

So, at the time of divorce, although there was a little love left, when cutting ties, a spark had already ignited a wildfire.

Gradually, when love penetrated deep into the marrow, only then did she realize the excruciating pain when it was drawn out.

Therefore, Bei Ran decided to go to the countryside in another province to teach.

At least, this way she could stay away from him and still contribute a little with her own strength.

But what she didn’t expect was that he would come so soon!

Bei Ran stared at him, speaking in the indifferent and slightly lazy tone she used before: "No!"

He asked her if she had had enough?

She said: No.

Gu Qingchen also knew that her sudden disappearance must have been due to grievances. He turned his handsome face to one side, "No? Then hit the other side!"

"You..." Bei Ran’s eyes immediately filled with tears.

How could she bear it!

How could she hit him again!

The slap she had given just now was also a desperate measure to force him not to look for her again.

Her tears couldn’t stop falling.

Gu Qingchen lowered his head and kissed her tears...
