Chapter 57 Jigsaw Puzzle
Gu Chuan locked himself in the house and didn't want to see anyone.

The confrontation with Shen Xing made him realize once again how mean and cowardly he was.

Everyone says that Gu Chuan is a child of destiny, so he can only work hard to become that child of destiny. He should hold himself to the highest standards in terms of his conduct, moral integrity, and ethics.

So, he became the seemingly perfect Gu Chuan.

But how can there be perfect people in the world?
When that layer of hypocritical skin is peeled off, his flesh and blood are actually the same as those of every ordinary person, so ugly, disgusting and horrible.

Deep down, he was used to hiding. Only by hiding himself behind someone else could he find a chance to breathe.

Before, he hid in Chu Yan's shadow, and later, he thought he was hiding in Song Xueying's shadow. But now, when he realized what he really wanted, all his advantages were just false.

He seems to have a glamorous identity and status, but his life is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Shen Xing's punch made him realize that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The only thing he could use to comfort himself was the seven years he had spent with Chu Yan. Of course, he knew that those were the past seven years, and compared to Chu Yan's current happiness, those past seven years were certainly not important.

Precisely because he knows this clearly, he is even more unwilling to admit the fact that Chu Yan may not love him.

If those seven years have lost their value to Chu Yan, then what capital does he have to compete with Shen Xing, and what qualifications does he have to get her back to him?

Gu Chuan didn't know what else he could do. In the eyes of many people, he, who seemed omnipotent, would actually have a day when he was at a loss. After that, he became a cowardly coward and could only curl up in an empty room. With the help of alcohol, he could temporarily escape from reality. In a state of drunkenness and dreams, he might even be able to return to the past.

Mrs. Gu couldn't accept that her excellent son had become like this, but her upbringing didn't allow her to scream. She glanced at the messy living room and the bottles of wine everywhere. She tried to control her emotions and asked, "Where's Song Xueying?"

"She's not here."

"She's your fiancée, and she's watching you go astray!"

"I have nothing to do with her anymore."

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by this?"

"It means that I broke up with her." Gu Chuan talked about this without any emotion. His attitude was very cold, his eyes were dark, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes, his beard was green, his clothes were loose and full of wrinkles, which made him look more decadent and thinner.

Mrs. Gu had never seen Gu Chuan like this before, and she had never thought that her proud child would have such a day. After all, he was her son, so of course she felt distressed, but also angry.

"I've long said that Song Xueying is not worthy of you, but you insisted on being with her. Well, your father and I gave in and let you get engaged, but now you've broken up again!"

"Did that woman do something to offend you?"

"Gu Chuan, is it worth it for you to degenerate into what you are now for a woman like that?"

Gu Chuan didn't want to pay attention to his mother's questioning. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up the pieces of the puzzle and continued to complete the half-finished puzzle. His silent resistance made Mrs. Gu even more angry. "Gu Chuan!"

"My business has nothing to do with Miss Song."

Madam Gu was stunned again, and then she said: "Is it Chu Yan?"

Gu Chuan replied: "I brought this upon myself. It has nothing to do with her."

Mrs. Gu had a very strong intuition that it must be Chu Yan!
At the engagement party that day, Chu Yan suddenly showed up and Mrs. Gu felt something was wrong, but Gu Chuan was very calm at the time. Thinking about it now, he was completely calm to an eerie degree.

If he hadn't really let go of Chu Yan at that time, it would have been because he thought that the people from the past were no longer important to him.

But reality slapped Gu Chuan hard in the face.

The more the lively and beautiful Chu Yan appeared in front of him, the more fiercely all the beauty of youth rushed towards him.

He suddenly remembered his past self, and even more so, every day he had spent with Chu Yan.

Mrs. Gu secretly wondered what sin she had committed. She thought she had sent Chu Yan away, but ended up with the even more unpleasant Song Xueying. If Chu Yan was still alone, Mrs. Gu might have felt that Gu Chuan was better off being with Chu Yan than with Song Xueying. But Chu Yan was Shen Xing's girlfriend now!
What kind of superb skills or magic did Chu Yan have to turn her son into a state where he was neither human nor ghost?
Mrs. Gu naturally couldn't bear to see Gu Chuan and his brothers fighting over a woman. If this matter got out, the Gu family would lose all face.

"Gu Chuan, wake up. Chu Yan has nothing to do with you anymore. You shouldn't have any contact with her anymore. What if this gets known to other people..."

Gu Chuan suddenly raised his face, and the gloom and cruelty hidden in his dark eyes made Mrs. Gu's throat tighten and she stopped all words.

"Yanyan and I have nothing to do with each other anymore?" Gu Chuan clenched the puzzle in his hand. He stood up, his dead silence and cold aura was very compelling, as if he was crying blood. He said clearly word by word: "Why do all of you have to remind me of this? It was obviously me who came here first, it was me who was with Yanyan, and it was also me who was in love with her. If you hadn't stopped us over and over again, she and I would have been married now."

Gu Chuan approached the mother in front of him. He just wanted to see if this mother would feel a little bit guilty towards her child.

"Mother, do you know?" Gu Chuan tightly grasped the puzzle in his hand. The edge was not sharp, but it almost pierced his palm. "If I were given another choice, Yanyan and I's child would not die."

Madam Gu looked surprised, and then took a step back in panic. She didn't know why, but the current Gu Chuan made her feel scary, and the fact he said made her feel at a loss, "I, I don't know she..."

So what if I knew?

To many people at that time, Chu Yan was not suitable for Gu Chuan. Even if she had Gu Chuan's child, Gu's parents would only think that she wanted to use the child to gain power.

And someone like Chu Yan is certainly not worthy of giving birth to a child for the Gu family.

The jigsaw puzzle on the coffee table could vaguely show the outlines of a family of three, but because I couldn't find the right piece, the appearance of the child in the middle could not be completed.
