Gu Ziyu gazed quietly at her,

Gu Ci took another sip of cherry juice, her eyes slightly dimmed.111 regarded him as the most important person in this lifetime. I never thought he would reject me. in my heart, he’s a ray of light in my life, while I’m just a speck of dust, barely noticeable when the wind blows. I don’t want this emotion to become cheap. Chen Rushi pursued me relentlessly, and I felt disgust and irritation. 1 don’t want a day to come when I become like Chen Rushi in Lu Zhiyuan’s heart.”

Third Young Master doesn’t believe she loves him, firmly convinced that she’s fond of Third Master.

Third Master wants no involvement with her.

This is a confusing situation. After Gu Ci’s rebirth, her attachment is deep, and she’s stuck in a passive role. So, she needs a period of calm to seriously consider her relationship with Lu Zhiyuan.

Gu Ziyu understood. He whispered, “Mom, no matter what decision you make, Ziyu will be by your side, always your support.”

“Okay, Mom will forever have baby as her support.”

After Gu Ziyu went upstairs, Gu Ci lightly tapped on the table.

Letting go of Lu Zhiyuan?

Gu Ci sneered. How could that be possible! She would never let him off in her lifetime. Even if it’s painful, she’ll drag him down with her. Compared to the pain, she can’t bear Lu Zhiyuan not loving her.

What Gu Ci can’t accept even more is Lu Zhiyuan leaving her.

After the mother and son moved to the Blue Field Villa, life became regular. They went to school together, returned together, and their world was confined to school and home. When Zhou Jinjin learned of Gu Ci’s move, she stayed with her for a few days at the villa. Worried that Gu Ci might be sad, but she was stable emotionally, living a disciplined life. So, Zhou J in jin left, purchasing an apartment near the school.

The apartment was 150 square meters, a duplex, it was more than enough for one person. Gu Ci and Zhou Jinjin were best friends. Zhou Jinjin initially wanted to move in with her, but considering Lu Zhiyuan’s relationship with Gu Ci, it wouldn’t be convenient. Gu Ci is very particular about boundaries, and she’s financially capable. She’s now a major internet celebrity, doing live broadcasts for products, and has achieved great success. She bought a house, decorated it herself, living independently, which is quite good.

Adults, everyone wants their independent space.

After Zhou Jin jin bought the apartment, she invited classmates to warm the place up. Gu Ci also went. She didn’t like such a lively atmosphere and didn’t want outsiders invading her private space.

“Chen Rushi lives in the same community as you?”‘ Dr. North asked in slight surprise upon hearing this. “Was it intentional?”

“It’s a coincidence,” Gu Ci had Ziyu check, and it was indeed coincidental. Both moved at different times. If it was intentional, Chen Rushi would have had quite the influence. “Is he still trying to contact you?”

“He’s changed his strategy.1‘ Dr. North smirked. “He realized that threats and temptations weren’t working. He’s playing the emotional card now. His illness can’t be ignored either. In the M country’s Chen family, he’s the only direct descendant of his generation. Although there are many relatives in the extended family, they emphasize royal heritage, and those from the extended family are well-trained, capable, and ambitious. If Chen Rushi’s health is good, they won’t dare do anything. But if he falls, internal conflicts in the Chen family will intensify. So, Chen Rushi can’t afford any accidents.”

Gu Ziyu had evening classes. Gu Ci left school earlier and walked out with Dr. North. She invited him for dinner at home. Gu Ci asked, “Master, what’s the success rate of his surgery?’1

“Eighty percent. He’s young, the condition was caught early, and he doesn’t have any underlying illnesses. The chances of recovery are quite high.”

Gu Ci understood that, for Dr. North, Chen Rushi’s illness wasn’t difficult to treat.

“Because of Chen Geng, you don’t want to save him?” Gu Ci curiously asked, never having delved into this part of her past.

“When Chen Rushi was born, 1 held him. I was twelve that year, just arrived at the Chen family, full of hope, considering Chen Geng my benefactor and Chen Rushi like a little brother. Medical school was demanding, yeti would take Chen Rushi out to play every week. We had a great brother-sister relationship.” Dr. North chuckled, “He was like a little brother I raised. Later, when I pursued my Ph D. and he started elementary school, our bond remained strong. 1 even secretly told him about my first crush. It lasted until I discovered Chen Geng’s secret. He’s truly twisted, liking teenage girls because they make him feel youthful, energetic.

It’s as if sleeping with them would grant him eternal life. It’s utter nonsense, but he did it nonetheless. Those teenage girls died in his hands, one after another. After 1 uncovered his secret, 1 also became one of those girls. Once… Chen Rushi caught us, he’s truly Chen Geng’s son, inheriting his coldness, ruthlessness. When 1 cried for help, he shut the door. I begged him to let me escape secretly. Once, he softened and helped me escape when Chen Geng wasn’t home.

1 fled with a group of girls into the forest. If we crossed it, we could reach the police station and report. But the forest turned into a hunting ground. Chen Geng and Chen Rushi hunted us down in the forest, heartlessly killing us as we desperately ran. They laughed while shooting arrows. It turned out to be a game between father and son. I’ll never forget the smile on Chen Rushi’s face, he was only eleven that year.”

She had always considered him her dearest little brother, but who would have thought that the brother she raised would let her go, just to participate in a hunting game.

She looked at those girls, each falling to the ground, staining the forest red.

“This is karma, Cici!” Dr. North laughed lightly, carrying an air of elegance and a relaxed demeanor. There was no trace of the darkest years in her past.

“I understand,” Gu Ci thought to herself. If it were her, she wouldn’t save him either. Just like if Lu Shijie had a heart condition, and she was the only one who could save him, she wouldn’t.

Rescuing a venomous snake might backfire, right?

“He’s rather pitiable too,” Dr. North said, “Chen Geng isn’t a kind father. He tormented others, including his own son. But no matter what, this branch of the Chen family… should end, shouldn’t it? Stop causing harm to others.”

The two entered the Blue Field Villa and coincidentally encountered Chen Rushi walking his Border Collie. The dog seemed quite intelligent as if it knew its owner liked Gu Ci, always strolling around near her house.

“Miss North, it seems he really likes Cici.”

Chen Rushi, in front of Dr. North, had been acting somewhat subservient recently, with a beaming smile. It was unclear if Gu Ci’s words had prompted this change, but his attitude was much better.

Dr. North chuckled, “She’s my student, so of course we have a good relationship!”

Gu Ci and he exchanged nods, a kind of acknowledgment. As they reached the doorstep, they noticed another gift placed there. Gu Ci furrowed her brows, leaving the items Chen Rushi had given her on the shelf outside the door, not bringing them inside.

“Is this from Chen Rushi?”
