“You are from the Gu Family, Meng Zhenglin would not really harm you. If you want to save Aunt Lin, this is your only chance, otherwise… Aunt Lin only has one way, death.”
No one really cares about my mother’s life. In the same manner, no one would care for hers either…
“Ah Ling, I beg you, you can’t be this cruel. My mother has always treated you like her own son, please save her!”
Gu Qingxin clutched his hand, and finally the tears started to fall…
“Whether she gets saved or not depends on you. You should better think fast, I heard Aunt Lin doesn’t have much time.”
After finishing, Tang Rongling ruthlessly threw her hand off and walked out…
“All Ling, don’t leave, save my mother, please save her!” Gu Qingxin wanted to stop him, but her body was too weak. As soon as she tried standing, she fell to the ground.
The steel door was closed again, and Gu Qingxin was left on the ground in despair….
She knew exactly what would happen once she agreed…
But, did she have a choice?
She must save her mother. If even she doesn’t try to save her own mother, then her mother could only wait for death…
She didn’t know how long it was…
The basement’s door was opened again revealing a large silhouette standing in front of her.
Gu Qingxin thought that Tang Rongling had come back. As she lifted her head, she was met with a somewhat unfamiliar face.
Gu Qingxin recognized him…
It was Beiming Han’s henchman, the man who took her back that morning.
She had only caught a brief glimpse of him, but she remembered him…
Gu Qingxin wanted to get up but she really had no strength left. She could only look at him poorly…
“Miss Gu, if you wish to save your mother, Young Master can help you to get the best treatment, and also get you out of here.”
Gu Qingxin blinks heavily, squinting at him through her tear-filled eyes, and deep down, a glimmer of hope springs up…
“The cost for your mother’s treatment will be covered entirely by the Young Master, and he will also bring in the best neuroscientist in the world to operate on your mother… The only condition from the Young Master is, you must obey him, meet all his needs until you have repaid the amount needed for your mother’s treatment.”
“I… I accept his terms.”
Gu Qingxin’s voice was barely audible as she closed her eyes in pain. Tears fell from her eyes. In the end, she still sold herself…
But if this could secure her mother’s life then she was willing to sacrifice…
The choices presented to her had only two paths and choosing this one at least left a possibility for survival…
If she agreed to Tang Rongling’s terms, with Meng Zhenglin’s perverted nature, she certainly would die.
But she couldn’t die. If she died, her mother probably wouldn’t survive. Her mother couldn’t die, her mother was the only family she had left in this world…
They, as mother and daughter, must survive…
They simply wish to live…
Ye Qi took out a contract that he carried with him, opened it, and handed a pen to Gu Qingxin. Gu Qingxin, under the faint light, tremblingly signed her name.
Her body had been pushed to its limit. The moment she finished signing, she lost consciousness.
Ye Qi instinctively reached out to hold her. Her soft body pressed tightly against his. A deep crack appeared on his face that never changed…
A tall figure walked in from outside. Beiming Han came to the two, while, Ye Qi hurriedly tried to push Gu Qingxin away. Beiming Han had already bent down and lifted her off the ground….
