Chapter 154: Previous Life (3)
However, his hopes were shattered the next moment . In the distance, he saw his solemn parents-in-law who had lost all of their elegance and demeanor . Their backs were bent over as they supported each other, the grayness of the hair now noticeable .
Shao Chong’s feet could not move forward a step, as if his body became as heavy as a mountain .
Sensing someone’s presence, Gu Changsheng turned around and looked in his direction .
This father’s eyes turned red and teary when he recalled a scene with Gu Jin just a few days .
Shao Chong went over to their side and whispered: “Dad, Mom . ” He tried to smile like he used to in front of them, but now, he couldn’t even manage a proper smile .
Gu Changsheng sighed, patted Shao Chong on the shoulder, and after a moment of silence, left him with only one sentence: “You go and see her . ”
Outside the dilapidated door, Shao Chong found the surroundings desolate and gloomy . The nearest cement road was hundreds of meters away .
Gu Jin’s body was covered with a white cloth, so pure and peaceful . In the end, his trembling fingertips didn’t have the courage to pull the cover aside .
AdvertisementHis eyes were fixed on a pool of blood that covered this corner of the house . The blood spread and stretched several feet until it accumulated another pool of blood by the door .
The people who busily worked in the room soon noticed a man in a suit and leather shoes, kneeling on the ground . His ruffled clothing and awkward posture couldn’t hide his handsome appearance . After glancing at the man in surprise, they resumed their work once again .
Shao Chong bent down and laughed, his body trembling . After laughing for a while, he stood up .
Outside the house, the sun shone brightly . Shao Chong stood by the doorway, but he only felt cold all over .
……
“Sir, your lady’s brother has come for a visit . ” The servant opened the door carefully, and the pungent smell of alcohol emanated from the room . The servant could only sigh .
Ever since Mr . Shao came home that day, he shut himself in his room and never went out .
Three days later, his father called for someone to force the door open, only to find Shao Chong overdosed with alcohol . He rushed his son to the hospital for gastric lavage .
But once Shao Chong regained consciousness, his demeanor was like that of a ghost’s . If he couldn’t get the alcohol he demanded, he would make trouble and smash things at home .
Fearing that his son might hurt himself, Father Shao ordered his men to give him drinks with low alcohol content .
At this time, the servant waited outside the room for Shao Chong’s reply, but there was only silence . The servant’s heart felt bitter as he thought to himself: ‘How can a good lady like her meet a kidnapper on the road? Based on Mr . Shao’s current appearance, he probably won’t be leaving his room for a while . ’ Just when he was about to turn around and leave…
Finally!
“Have him wait, I’ll be going down at once . ” Shao Chong actually replied, to the man’s surprise, although his voice was hoarse .
“Shao Chong you bastard!” As soon as Gu Teng saw him coming down the stairs, he grabbed the man’s collar and punched him in the face .
The servant went up to help him, but Shao Chong ordered him to stop .
“Where were you when my sister went to the hospital? What the f*ck were you doing?” Gu Teng smashed his face fiercely again . “Who is Cheng Xin? Why does it matter to you if she’s giving birth to a child?”
“When my sister was kidnapped by thieves, you hung up on her phone . Are you comfortable now that you’ve left a corpse and killed two lives? You accomplice!”
Shao Chong didn’t return his words or his punches . He let Gu Teng scold him and even felt that he had lashed too little .
Once Gu Teng got bored fighting, he asked with a sneer: “My sister owes nothing to Cheng Xin . And yet, not only has she lived under her cousin’s shadow all her life, even her own man cares more about Cheng Xin . ”
Shao Chong’s body was frozen stiff .
After Gu Teng left, he sat on the sofa for a while . Shao Chong habitually looked to the balcony and was surprised to realize that the vase Gu Jin placed there had been changed .
It’s been a week since he’s looked at his surroundings, and now, the living room was redecorated with a new look .
“You there! COME HERE!”
“What’s the matter, sir?”
“Who told you to change the vase there! Who dared?!” Shao Chong pointed to the balcony with murderous eyes . His face seemed to turn blue from anger .
The stunned servant replied, “Sir, it was you who broke it…”
“I . . ” When it suddenly dawned on Shao Chong, his hand slowly lowered and he collapsed on the sofa .
Soon, he ordered all of the servants to take three days off and no one was allowed to appear at the villa .
After the servants have left, Shao Chong got up and walked to every corner of the villa . His heart was empty and the light in his eyes grew dimmer and dimmer . After so many years together, he had very few memories with her; even if he wanted to pretend to be affectionate with her now, they wasn’t much to recall of their time together .
He was simply a joke . What right does he have to look down on Jing Hao?
Overnight, the tea table in front of the sofa was filled up with empty bottles . Intoxicated with alcohol, he closed his eyes and vaguely saw a girl, running and jumping on the lawn calling, “Daddy, Daddy!” while a gentle and beautiful woman chased after her, telling her to be careful .
Shao Chong curved up his lips, revealing a smile that was more unsightly than crying .
