The Past Stay In The Past (5)

EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation Mu Yuchen interrupted before Gu Qiwu could finish his sentence, so the latter turned over and noticed his dangerous gaze. "Dont try to compare my woman with yours. Doris is way out of her league," Mu Yuchen warned. Gu Qiwu smiled as he gave Mu Yuchen a meaningful glance. "It seems like youre pretty dedicated to Xi Xiaye. Arent you afraid that she might be in danger by showing me this side of yours? Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?" Mu Yuchens expression darkened. "Only people without confidence would think that way. Didnt you just tell me how much you loved Doris just a moment ago?" "Our situations are different, Ah Chen," Gu Qiwu squinted his eyes and said quietly. "Thats just your excuse. From what youve just said, you did all of that just to protect your children, didnt you?" Mu Yuchens eyes were hard as if he was treating Gu Qiwu like some sort of a joke. Gu Qiwus expression froze. "I wont deny that I want to be freed from Doris control, but the main point is about the siblings. Believe it or not, I have no reason to lie. Lingtian is my only son. No one couldve felt worse than me when he died." "Do you think I can trust you?" Mu Yuchen glanced over as he grinned. "Both you and your wife are brilliant! Using your own children as gambling chips, I believe youre still a notch better than me in this aspect, and so is Qi Feng." "Ah Chen, youre not me. You wouldnt understand what Im going through." "Perhaps I really dont. No matter what your reasons are, it doesnt justify your lie. Those shouldnt be the reasons for you to betray a woman and even abandon your own children. Ive told you before that Ive given you chances, but you gave them up." Mu Yuchen took a deep breath and looked away. "You shouldnt have looked for me today." His chest tightened as he was reminded of how Wang Hui had died with regret in her heart. "You shouldve expected my arrival! You kept Doris matter a secret. You were just waiting for a chance to strike me down, werent you?! And theres the matter about your aunt too. Youre forcing me to make a choice now!" Gu Qiwus tone turned chilly. "Dont think that everybody is as cunning and shameless as you! Do you really think Qi Feng wouldve missed this chance if I didnt tell anyone? Im just a little bit quicker than him." "What do you mean?" Gu Qiwu asked coldly. "You know very well what I mean. Theres no need to ask me again." Gu Qiwus expression darkened and he did not say anything. "As for Doris, Im just telling the truth. You can act as if nothing happened if you can stomach it. Continue your life as it is." "Do you really think I can still continue my life as if nothing happened? Do you know that Doris has already filed a divorce? Not only did she betray me, but shes also ripping me off!" Gu Qiwus anger was rising within him. "She thought she was in control of everything. Ill make sure she knows that everything shes trying to protect is nothing but a joke." "You should really tell Doris what you just said." "No, Ah Chen, I know what your aim is. Lingshi is my daughter after all. I wont owe her what she deserves, but" Gu Qiwus voice turned grim. "Are you saying that you intend to officially tell everyone that Lingshi is your daughter?" Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes at him. Gu Qiwu remembered the moment when he met Mu Lingshi in the hospital. Her eyes had been filled with sorrow. "I met with Lingshi once in the hospital, Im sorry for your loss of your grandmother. I know its somehow related to me, but its all in the past now and I cant do anything to change that. You should know this better than anyone else." "She has an extreme bias against me now, so" "So, do you mean she should be very grateful for you?" Mu Yuchen smiled. "Lingshi never hoped to get anything from you. Shes the Mu familys treasure, and were not any worse than the Gus." "I dont mean that, Ah Chen! I just hope she can forgive me. I was wrong." Gu Qiwu took a deep breath as he gripped the railings tightly and stared at the cemetery for a while before he continued, "Dont doubt my feelings towards the two of them. Ive been keeping a watch on them closely although I know they might be better off staying by your side. I dont think youre going to believe me, so Im going to stop talking about them. The reason I asked you to come today is that I want you to convince Lingshi to forgive me. Besides, I believe you wouldnt want Doris to win the lawsuit against me, would you?" "It doesnt matter who wins. Dont even think about using Lingshi or me. I just hope you can give my aunt and Lingshi a responsible answer. You owe them that," Mu Yuchen said casually. He felt rather pressured. Although he found out about Lingtians reason from Qi Feng, after talking with Gu Qiwu, he realized the matters he prioritized might not be that important in the eyes of others. "I wont interfere anymore if you stop hurting the people I care about. Im respecting Lingshis wishes. However, if youre going to try something funny, Ill definitely play the game with you, but now, we will leave each other alone." Mu Yuchen then left as he felt tired. "Ah Chen!" Gu Qiwu called out to him when he was leaving. Nevertheless, Mu Yuchen left without any hesitation. He soon disappeared down the staircase as Gu Qiwu took a deep breath and pinched the space between his eyebrows
