Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore
Chapter 140 A Life Without Gu Yan
He Li slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a peaceful morning. Soft sunlight streamed through the window onto his pale face, as if gently caressing his newly awakened consciousness.
During the long hours of his coma, a familiar and kind voice kept echoing in his ears. It was gentle but urgent: "Don't sleep, lazy pig! If you continue to sleep, I'll be really angry! Ah Li, promise me that no matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, you must live bravely and bravely. Don't give up your precious life easily, because this is my last and most sincere hope for you..."
He knew very well in his heart that the voice came from Gu Yan, whom he had been thinking about day and night. However, at this moment, when he finally woke up, he found that everything around him had become so unfamiliar.
During his hospitalization, the doctors conducted repeated and detailed examinations on him. Finally, they confirmed that He Li's physical condition had fully recovered and he could leave the hospital without worry and return to his normal life.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, but at the same time, they couldn't help but fall into an inexplicable tension and worry. Everyone was afraid that He Li would suddenly ask about Gu Yan's whereabouts, after all, they had such a deep emotional entanglement in the past.
But what was surprising was that from the moment he woke up until he completed the discharge procedures and walked out of the hospital gate, He Li seemed to have completely forgotten about Gu Yan, and he never even mentioned her name once.
While others might not understand the reasoning, Ye Zhen, as a mother, knew it all. She knew the immense pain and suffering her son was enduring deep within his heart. While everything seemed calm on the surface, He Li was actually just forcing himself to stay strong and live on.
As for Gu Yan's body, there is still no news. Although no one wants to admit the cruel truth, everyone knows in their hearts that once you fall into the vast ocean, the chance of survival is extremely small, almost zero.
In the first year after Gu Yan's death, He Li, like an enraged lion, poured all his energy into a fierce attack on the Gu Group. Faced with such a fierce offensive, Gu Yihuai was completely helpless and unable to resist. In just six months, the once-prosperous Gu Group declared bankruptcy.
Over time, He Li's temperament underwent a profound change. He became increasingly calm and reserved, as if he had built an impenetrable wall within himself. On a normal day, he rarely showed any emotion or expression. Whether handling official or personal matters, he always maintained a cold, icy expression, like an iceberg that would never melt. Even when his elder brother, who had received treatment in a foreign country and had finally recovered, reunited with him, He Li's face was filled with indifference, as if the events around him were of no concern to him.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when Gu Yan met with misfortune. Unfortunately, because Gu Yan's body could not be found, she did not even leave a place for her relatives and friends to pay their respects.
Since then, He Li chose to live alone in the secret manor where he and Gu Yan had spent their good times together. He cut off contact with the outside world and blocked everyone out of his own world.
Throughout this long and arduous year, He Li had used a strong exterior to mask the fragility and pain deep within. However, at this moment, that facade finally crumbled, like a shaky building collapsing in an instant.
"Ah Yan, why are you so cruel to me? Why don't you even show up to see me in my dreams..."
For He Li, this entire year had been a nightmare. He had barely enjoyed a full night's sleep, each night plagued by endless thoughts and torment. Whenever night fell, he lay in bed, eyes closed, but the images in his mind flooded in like a tidal wave, preventing him from falling asleep.
Fate seemed to have played a cruel joke on him. Like Gu Yan, he remained in that dark night forever.
He Li seemed to be trapped deep in the sea, forever sinking in that cold, dark and suffocating environment, or perhaps he simply didn't want to leave the sea. His Gu Yan stayed there, and he also stayed there forever.
In the long years since Gu Yan's death, time slipped by. In the blink of an eye, it was already two years old. During this time, Haisheng Group seemed to have gained a mysterious and powerful force, its territory expanding at an unprecedented rate. Like a surging torrent, it quickly split apart from the bustling city of Jinghai with thunderous force, spreading like ripples to every inch of Asia.
Today, the name "He Li" has become a household name, known to everyone, from the streets to the business world and government. However, surprisingly, despite his fame, few have actually seen He Li's true face.
People's understanding of this legendary figure is limited to rumors - it is said that he is a cruel and ruthless person, and his actions often make people shudder.
In this turbulent year, He Quan had mentioned many times that he wanted to arrange for He Li to participate in blind dates, hoping to find a suitable marriage for him.
After all, as a father, He Quan naturally hoped to see his son quickly establish a family and live a stable and happy life. However, every time he proposed this to He Li, the response he received was always disappointing. He Li not only unhesitatingly rejected his blind date proposals but also ruthlessly launched a series of fierce business competition and oppression against his own He Group.
Faced with such a disobedient and unfilial son, He Quan was so angry that he was shaking all over, cursing in his heart: "This kid is getting more and more outrageous! He even turns a deaf ear to the words of his own parents. He is simply a heartless and inhuman guy!" He Quan, who has always been calm and composed in the eyes of others, could hardly suppress his inner anger and disappointment at this moment.
However, behind this seemingly complicated situation, only one person knew the true reason behind He Li's behavior. That person was Ye Zhen. She knew clearly that since losing Gu Yan, He Li had completely closed his heart and buried all his emotions deep in his heart.
He armed himself with indifference and toughness, not giving anyone the chance to peek into his already broken inner world.
He Li was going to leave work early that day, just because it was Gu Yan's birthday and he wanted to go back early to celebrate her birthday with her. Last year on her birthday, he bought a lot of gifts, but Gu Yan didn't seem to like any of them because she had never opened them.
He Li's illness has become very serious. Hallucinations appear in his consciousness. He imagines that Gu Yan is still alive and living in the manor.
When He Li returned to the manor after buying many gifts of all sizes, he saw his mother standing at the door.
"Mom, why are you here? Why don't you go in? Gu Yan must have made a lot of delicious food today."
Ye Zhen learned about He Li's condition from his private doctor not long ago. Originally, she didn't believe that He Li would have delusions, but now after hearing what he said to her in person, Ye Zhen knew that He Li was sick and very seriously ill.
"A Li, Gu Yan is not here. She died two years ago. Child, stop deceiving yourself."
Ye Zhen's words brought He Li back to reality. He looked at Ye Zhen and suddenly became flustered. "Mom, what are you talking about? Gu Yan must have gone out to buy groceries. She will be back soon. If you don't believe me, I'll call her."
As he spoke, He Li took out his cell phone and dialed the familiar number. After a while, the phone rang, but at the same time, a ringtone was also heard from inside the house.
"Child, don't be like this. Mom was wrong. You hate me, Mom begs you, please wake up, okay? Gu Yan definitely doesn't want to see you like this."
Originally, He Li had found a way to deceive himself. He and the imaginary Gu Yan were living a good life, but why did even the last bit of his dream have to be shattered?
"No, Gu Yan is here, she is right here, I can feel her, I can, I can do it."
Seeing He Li like this, Ye Zhen couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. She hugged He Li and cried bitterly, "A Li, stop torturing yourself. Let yourself go, and let Gu Yan go, okay?"
Ye Zhen knew that if he continued to allow He Li to isolate himself like this, he would inevitably become a complete madman - an emotionless and lifeless being like a walking corpse.
You have to know that this is her own flesh and blood, born after ten months of hardship and pregnancy!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen's heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of steel needles. How could she bear to watch her child fall into such a painful abyss for the rest of his life?
Ye Zhen was determined to use her deep love as a mother to persuade He Li and let him return to normal life.
Although she knew very well that He Li might be heartbroken and could never fall in love with anyone else, he at least still needed the warmth and companionship of his family and a wife who could share his joys and sorrows.
Because Ye Zhen always believed that even if a person once had extremely passionate feelings, as time goes by, whether it is ten years or twenty years, those past feelings will eventually fade away, and new feelings will inevitably come into being, replacing the old feelings and occupying the heart.
Ye Zhen selected several girls of similar age and good personalities from several major families. She knew that this would be unfair to Gu Yan, but the living must continue to live. She believed that Gu Yan was a good child and would definitely agree to do this.
