Chapter 2288 - 2191: Love Born Without Reason
Before Huo Sining’s eyes, everything went blank. She had always thought that in her past life, she had nothing to do with people like Gu Xu, yet she hadn’t expected that her heart was actually donated to Song Hui, and the one who took her heart was Gu Xu himself!
This blow was too much for Huo Sining; she completely couldn’t accept this fact. She stared fiercely at the two people in front of her, while tears uncontrollably fell down.
Gu Xu was about to say something to Song Hui, but at the moment he opened his mouth, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction where Huo Sining was, his eyebrows furrowing uncontrollably, with emotions roiling in his eyes.
Feeling Gu Xu’s unusual behavior, Song Hui’s somewhat hoarse voice immediately sounded: "Xu Zi, what’s wrong?"
Gu Xu shook his head, glanced at Song Hui, hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "How do you feel?"
Song Hui smiled and said: "Pretty good, the doctor also said there’s no signs of rejection, in a few months I’ll be as good as new."
Seeing this sincere smile from Song Hui and recalling the woman who willingly gave up her heart, Gu Xu’s heart suddenly ached, even he didn’t know what exactly was happening.
His own brother had survived a great ordeal, he should have been happy, yet seeing Song Hui’s smile, he found it terribly glaring, and even felt faint regrets.
Song Hui was fine, but that girl had lost her life in vain. Was this worth it?
After chatting with Song Hui for a few more minutes, Gu Xu felt a suffocating sense of emotion. He intended to mention Huo Sining to Song Hui, but seeing Song Hui’s current state, he dared not bring it up, merely hinting that the Liang Family was rotten at the root, filled with filth and unseemly affairs. Although they helped this time, they should keep a distance in the future.
Though Song Hui didn’t quite understand Gu Xu’s words, he knew Gu Xu’s nature well—straightforward in conduct, never speaking without justification—so he nodded thoughtfully.
Walking out from the hospital room, Gu Xu’s steps seemed exceptionally heavy. Standing at the hospital entrance, he suddenly felt a bit lost and didn’t know where to go.
Unconsciously driving to the entrance of Sheng Tang Hotel, a concierge promptly noticed his car and quickly walked over to welcome him.
Gu Xu’s gaze unconsciously fell on a hidden alleyway outside the hotel, his expression inexplicably strange and taciturn.
Huo Sining was also in the car, but she was there unwillingly. She had already noticed that her body was entirely out of her control, but whenever Gu Xu moved more than three meters away from her, an invisible force would pull her back. Even she didn’t know what was happening.
Seeing Gu Xu dazedly staring at an alley outside the hotel, Huo Sining also looked over in his gaze direction.
Initially, Huo Sining was puzzled, but gradually, a distant memory surfaced in her mind. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, it was here where she attended Shengtang Group’s annual party with Zhao Mingcheng.
At the party, she drank alcohol spiked by Wu Jingyi, and stumbled out of the hotel, only to encounter thugs deliberately arranged by Wu Jingyi in this dark alley.
At that time, the drug had already taken effect, and she was not in her right mind, but she struggled to escape the clutches of the thugs. It was in that critical moment that she was saved by Gu Xu, and she had impulsively kissed Gu Xu on the lips.
Even though so much time had passed, Huo Sining still remembered that after kissing Gu Xu, she was slapped by him in disgust and mercilessly thrown into the hotel room’s bathtub. The cold water from the showerhead poured down on her face, and at that moment, she was in utter embarrassment.
For a moment, Huo Sining couldn’t tell whether this was her past life or present life. Thinking about Gu Xu’s fierce and disgusted expression towards her that day, her heart trembled, and a bitter smile crept onto the corners of her mouth.
However, just as Huo Sining was lost in thought, the man sitting in the driver’s seat suddenly looked towards the alley and smiled gently, then, inexplicably, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Huo Sining’s heart trembled violently, her eyes widened, uncertain of the situation.
Why, why was he crying? Clearly, the culprit who did wrong and caused her death was him, why was he crying!?
Huo Sining really wanted to question him, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
She should have harbored resentment and hatred in her heart, but facing the person in front of her, Gu Xu, she couldn’t bring herself to hate.
The man in the driver’s seat silently shed tears for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses, wiped his face, and pulled out his phone, making a call to someone unknown:
"Cut the supply to the Liang Family, and don’t give them those tenders either. If anyone from the Liang Family asks, tell them it’s my decision. Also, keep an eye on that Miss Liang and Zhao Mingcheng for me, I have use for them!"
On hearing this, Huo Sining was instantly stunned.
Gu Xu directly hung up the phone, then started fumbling on the screen. Huo Sining had sharp eyesight and immediately saw that on his screen was a woman’s photo, a photo of a sleeping woman.
Seeing that photo, Huo Sining was completely dumbfounded. That photo wasn’t of anyone else, it was of her!
This... how come she didn’t remember having such a photo taken, clearly, it was taken secretly while she was asleep!?
What made Huo Sining feel even more eerie was that this man, whom she supposedly had no connection with in her previous life, was now solemnly bowing his head, kissing the picture on the phone screen, his gaze filled with guilt and repentance:
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you, if I had, I definitely wouldn’t have... it’s my fault, all my fault. Wait for me, once I get revenge for you, I’ll come find you, okay?"
Huo Sining was completely stunned now, her mind unable to process anything, especially upon seeing Gu Xu’s deep and affectionate demeanor, her thoughts turned to mush.
What on earth is going on, clearly, she didn’t know Gu Xu in her past life, how could he... fall for her? What sort of misunderstanding was this, this Oolong?
But, Gu Xu’s pained expression didn’t seem like he was acting at all, previously, when facing Yu Fei and Song Hui, he didn’t show any of this, but now sitting by the hotel entrance, the entire aura of abhorrence and desolation towards the world he exuded was so apparent, anyone who wasn’t a fool could see it.
