What to do when your first love cries and asks for reconciliation?

Su Huai turned around and looked down at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had heard a funny joke——

“Are you threatening me?”

Gu Yu shook his head mechanically and repeated "no" several times.

"Su Huai, there is a way. We will be together well. Aren't we already married?"

"Come back with me, okay? I'll find a way to heal your heart, if that doesn't work..."

She lowered her head, and after about two seconds she raised it again, her eyes lighting up.

"If it doesn't work, you can always buy it with money. As long as you have money, if you don't have..."

Su Huai interrupted her sharply: "What on earth are you thinking about?!"

Gu Yu was startled by the sudden roar. As she did in the past when she made a mistake, she carefully tugged at the corner of Su Huai's clothes to beg for forgiveness.

Su Huai used to be very fond of this trick, but unfortunately the same trick would not work every time, and now it only made Su Huai feel bored.

"Su Huai, I just want you to come back with me..."

Su Huai kept doing the same action over and over again, which was to pry her hands off his body.

Gu Yu often had trouble falling asleep because of looking for her, and his physical condition was not good to begin with.

Even though her almost obsessive desire made her cling to him tightly just after she broke away, she was thrown half a meter away with Su Huai's last impatient "Enough".

Gu Yu was only wearing a shirt, and the pain she felt from falling heavily to the ground can be imagined. The severe pain from her limbs tortured her so much that she couldn't even say the last word "don't go".

The man's back was reflected in the blurred pupils.

She will stand up for her when she is bullied, will carry her to bed because she doesn't want her feet to get cold, and will run to her without hesitation even if she is abandoned, and this time there will be no looking back.

Gu Yu half-supported himself on the ground with bloodshot eyes, watching the man walk away until he disappeared from his sight.

Then, she heard someone around her shouting to call an ambulance, and then everything went dark before her eyes.

I felt waves of dull pain in my heart, like a tsunami hitting a bank. When I woke up again, I could hear the wind whistling in my ears and a strange voice shouting to prepare the ventilator.

Gu Yu felt like a crashed plane, falling uncontrollably. Would it disintegrate in mid-air...?

*

The man who was talking about breaking off all ties the moment before, immediately became dejected after getting into the Maybach that had been parked on the roadside for a long time.

Su Huai sank deeply into the seat, closing his eyes tightly as if unwilling to face reality.

When Wen Henian saw her like this, he knew that she had really made the decision.

"Sometimes don't think too much about things. You can just donate your heart. There's really no need to hurt her again," said Wen Henian.

Su Huai smiled and shook his head indifferently: "Brother, you still don't understand. How can I donate my heart if I don't hurt her like this?"

Wen Henian raised his eyebrows. "Well, you always have your reasons."

Then, he looked at Su Huai, and there seemed to be some confusion in his eyes, but after only half a second, the confusion disappeared.

"Since you already know everything, I'll tell you one last secret too. You definitely don't have the energy to investigate anyway."

"What?" Su Huai was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, "You mean why did you take the initiative to approach Gu Yu?"

Wen Henian nodded, rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.

At this moment, Su Huai still didn't understand what kind of bomb would be waiting for her.

Fortunately, Wen Henian didn't give her too much time to think and went straight to the point -

"Your mother died in childbirth."

"The doctor who delivered her was my mother."

Su Huai instinctively turned his head to look at the source of the voice, his deep pupils trembling: "What did you say?"

She unconsciously grasped the handrail tightly, and her body began to tremble violently.

"Haven't you always wondered why my mom treats you so well?"

Wen Henian's face showed a rare apologetic look.

"In fact, your father didn't take your mother to any small clinic. He used up all his savings and had your mother admitted to Yongdong City Hospital."

"At that time, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the municipal hospital happened to be my mother."

Wen Henian didn't know much about what happened back then, and most of what he knew came from Wen Liya.

Wen Liyazhi is not in the obstetrics department and wants to be a thoracic surgeon.

However, in that era, only obstetrics could accommodate women, while other departments were dominated by men, and women's salaries were generally lower than men's.

Wen Liya was not convinced and pulled several other doctors from the department to go on strike.

As luck would have it, Su Huai's mother's hospitalization coincided with their strike.

When the delivery was approaching, Wen Liya even threatened the director that she would not deliver the baby if he did not raise her salary.

The other doctors responded to Wen Liya one after another. The dean had no choice but to agree after thinking for a long time.

But what's the price?

No one cared when Su Huai's mother was sent to the delivery room until several hours later, when Wen Liya and others finally arrived.

Moreover, without consulting the family, several people arbitrarily decided to keep the child and abandon the adults.

Because of this incident, Su Minghua held a sign in front of the city hospital to demand an explanation and even went to the government to petition.

He was a poor man, and the hospital was sure that nothing serious would happen to him, so they only gave him a few hundred yuan in compensation and ended the matter.

In that era, information and transportation were not well developed.

To confront these birds of a feather head-on is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Su Minghua was desperate, but he still had to support Su Huai, who was still an infant, so he compromised.

Su Huai suddenly understood why Su Minghua taught her since she was a child that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and that it is enough to have a clear conscience.

Wen Liya always favors her. It turns out that this is because the highly respected Professor Wen also knows that he is guilty...

Su Huai suddenly felt a speechless sadness that the great people in the world were like ants. She thought that the people who were important in her life were playing tricks on her like this?

After a long while, Wen Henian continued, "My mother feels guilty and has been keeping an eye on you and your father."

"She asked me to go to Yongdong for an internship. Initially, she was thinking about whether she could do something for you and your daughter."

"Should I call it fate or coincidence, I met Gu Yu. I could tell at first glance that she had a ruthlessness that was different from that of ordinary people."

"She is indeed a very ambitious person. She actually took the initiative to tell me about your relationship with her."

"She's also smart enough to know she can profit from my attention to you."

Su Huai's head, which had been proud and refused to bow for more than 20 years, seemed to be broken at this moment and drooped down helplessly due to inertia.

"Okay, stop talking."

She closed her eyes in pain. Su Huai didn't understand why every time things were about to get better, God would send down a punishment to shatter all her previous efforts.

It's like a tired tree that has been stripped of its bark and branches, leaving only the last few tender buds trembling gently in the wind.

Mother, a character that has never existed in Su Huai's life.

How could she not envy those children who had mothers when she was a child?

But later, when she grew up and learned to disguise herself with a thorny appearance, she told everyone that her father was a good person, so she didn't need her mother.

But she still couldn't help but peek when others were picked up by their mothers after school.

Since I have never had it, I won’t ask for it anymore, Su Huai told himself.

A chuckle suddenly rang out from the silent car, full of contempt yet extremely sad.

"Since you want to atone for your sins, I will give you one last chance."

"If you succeed, I will forgive you."
