Chapter 917 - 913
"Alright." Gong Xueyan nodded and smiled, "I also think I’ve been too lazy, getting some sun will be better."
Called the caregiver, had Gong Xueyan lifted into the wheelchair, and pushed her to the garden.
The two chatted in the garden, Gong Xueyan smilingly asked, "How’s the wedding preparations going?"
Yu Sangwan’s heart skipped a beat, frowning, "Actually, with my belly this big, I don’t really want to have a wedding..."
"Haha." Gong Xueyan laughed, "Feeling like you don’t look good?"
Yu Sangwan understood that wasn’t the case, but still nodded along, "Yes."
"Silly." Gong Xueyan shook her head with a smile, "That’s Jinxuan’s good intention. Your relationship with him has always been high-profile and your identities are special. He wants to take this opportunity to show the world! His wife, he says, he gets to decide... isn’t that great?"
Gong Xueyan looked fascinated, "That’s Jinxuan, he always knows what should and shouldn’t be done, better than anyone."
Yu Sangwan looked at her, so many words stuck in her throat.
"I’ll get you something to drink." Yu Sangwan turned around to get milk from the rattan table.
When she returned, Gong Xueyan was looking up at the sky, sighing deeply, talking to herself. "Ah, if I could start over, I really wish that year in Antarctica, I hadn’t met you all, hadn’t seen Jinxuan. Would my life have been different?"
Yu Sangwan was stunned, holding the milk glass, unable to move for a long time.
...
She was different from Jinxuan. Jinxuan could ignore Gong Xueyan. But, in fact, no one could deny that Gong Xueyan became this way because of who!
After a long while, Yu Sangwan finally stepped forward.
"Xueyan, have some milk..."
But Gong Xueyan didn’t respond.
"Xueyan?"
Yu Sangwan moved to face her, only to see Gong Xueyan’s head hanging and she had already fallen asleep...
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan gasped, her eyes instantly wet. So soon? Her condition is this severe!
According to the doctors, even if Gong Xueyan holds out until the child is born, she certainly won’t live long...
...
In the evening, Guan Chao’s car came to pick her up.
Yu Sangwan got in with a heavy heart, asking, "Where’s His Excellency the President?"
"Replying to the Madam, His Excellency the President is wrapping up the meeting soon... You’ll see him when you get back."
Yu Sangwan nodded, some words... she needed to say to Jinxuan.
Returning to Guan Chao, Lu Jinxuan had indeed returned, and they met at the door.
"Taotao." Lu Jinxuan approached with a smile, steadying her, "Finished early today, I can have dinner with you and Qingming."
"Jinxuan." Yu Sangwan looked at him, hesitating to speak.
"Hmm?" Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, "Just say it! What can’t you say to me?"
Yu Sangwan shook her head, "No, let’s talk in the flower hall, shall we?"
"Alright..."
In the flower hall, Lu Jinxuan suddenly stood up.
Furrowing his thick brows, "What? Does this sound reasonable to you?"
Yu Sangwan clenched her hands, "I don’t know, but, I really can’t do it right now!"
"Can’t?" Lu Jinxuan was extremely anxious, rarely getting irritable towards her, "Taotao, I’m your husband! I can’t stop the entire world from admiring me! Do I have to care about everyone’s feelings?"
"This..." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "How can it be the same? Xueyan is because of us! She got shot, she was humiliated..."
"So what?" Lu Jinxuan was exasperated, "Postpone the wedding? Then you tell me, how long do you want to postpone it?"
Yu Sangwan was silent, she actually didn’t have an answer in her heart.
Lu Jinxuan’s eyes darkened, "Taotao, I understand you’re sad, you’re so kind, I know! Can we find another way?"
"There’s none..." Yu Sangwan shook her head with tears, "There’s no way, Xueyan is starting to become lethargic! She doesn’t have much time left."
"Ah!" Lu Jinxuan exhaled deeply, furrowing his brows, "Taotao, I assume, if Gong Xueyan passes away, would you carry this guilt for the rest of your life, never reconciling with me?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, she hadn’t thought about this question.
Lu Jinxuan was frustrated and couldn’t relieve it, "Taotao, is this fair to me? I’m not the one to be remembered! Fine! Even if she does everything for me, must I be eternally grateful to her?"
Yu Sangwan sobbed, "Jinxuan, Xueyan never thought like that, she just..."
"I don’t want to hear it!" Lu Jinxuan roared.
Their conflict because of Gong Xueyan was finally laid bare at this moment, both erupting.
"Jinxuan." Yu Sangwan furrowed her delicate brows, "Can you, can you go see her..."
"No!" Lu Jinxuan flatly denied, "Maybe you think she’s pitiful, but, Taotao, I’m sorry, I only have sympathy for everything that happens to her, no guilt whatsoever! No need to feign warmth in front of her!"
He suddenly kneeled in front of Yu Sangwan, "Taotao, don’t treat me like this, I’m the closest person to you."
"Exactly because of this!" Yu Sangwan was also in terrible pain, "That’s why I feel sorry for Xueyan."
"Damn it!" Lu Jinxuan painfully raised his fist and slammed it on the floor, "If I had known this, I wouldn’t have let her get close to you!"
He suddenly stood up, yanked the door open, and stormed out of the flower hall.
"Jinxuan..." Yu Sangwan stood up to follow, but she couldn’t catch up with him. For a whole week, Yu Sangwan didn’t see Jinxuan.
That night, Tu Shanni was packing suitcases for Fu Xianlin.
"Is Dad going on a trip?" Yu Sangwan walked in.
Tu Shanni glanced at her daughter, surprised, "You didn’t know? Didn’t Jinxuan tell you?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, thinking, Jinxuan is really angry this time.
"Ah." Tu Shanni sighed, walking over. "Taotao, for what? The wedding with Jinxuan is postponed..."
She glanced towards the small building, "Because of Gong Xueyan?"
Yu Sangwan lowered her head and didn’t speak, essentially admitting.
Tu Shanni shook her head, "This child, who are you like? Mom knows you feel sorry for Xueyan, but even so, Jinxuan and Xueyan can’t be together! Why make things difficult for yourself and for Jinxuan?"
"I just..." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth, feeling she couldn’t continue.
Everyone has their own helplessness, and she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart either.
"Mom!" Yu Sangwan cried, tears falling, "I saw it with my own eyes, saw Xueyan being humiliated! I was right next to her, but I couldn’t save her..."
With that, she painfully covered her eyes, "That scene, and Xueyan’s desperate cries, keep replaying in my mind! Xueyan suffered because of me..."
"Ah." Tu Shanni hugged her daughter, "My poor daughter, what should I do?"
Gong Xueyan is so unfortunate, and her daughter is bearing such mental pressure...
Tu Shanni sighed, "Your father is going to the development zone, I’ll send him first, and after he settles down, I’ll come back. You take good care of yourself at home."
"Mom." Yu Sangwan wiped her tears, "About Jinxuan..."
"Right." Tu Shanni remembered something, "Jinxuan is going too."
"Ah?" Yu Sangwan was surprised. Why?
Tu Shanni furrowed her brows, shaking her head, "Your father said, Jinxuan attaches great importance to this development project, if he goes in the early stages, the process will speed up significantly. Your father said, it seems this time, Jinxuan is in a hurry, like he’s eager to achieve results."
