Indeed, he did not pull the trigger, because he dared not to.
It was not until she left the Gu Mansion and sat in the car that Mo Ran finally relaxed. That was when she realized she had broken out in a cold sweat; her back was drenched.
"Ranran, are you okay?" Gu Yixuan handed her a bottle of water with concern.
"I’m fine," Mo Ran smiled and shook her head, "I was just a bit nervous just now, but I’m okay now."
After all, it wasn’t her first time seeing a gun, nor her first time witnessing such a scene; she had grown somewhat accustomed to it.
Gu Yixuan gripped her hand tightly, his eyes filled with gratitude and guilt.
Following him, Mo Ran had given up many things, including her most valued morals and law, which she had already started to abandon.
Had it not been for him, she surely would not have often found herself in such situations. Had it not been for him, she might have long since escaped this turmoil of right and wrong.
It was he who pulled her into his world, he, in truth, was the most selfish, the one least willing to sacrifice.
But he would make it up to her, he would be very good to her, giving her everything in the whole world.
"Dad, what are we going to do now? We have nothing left, we could only be at his mercy from now on. Dad, what should we do?!"
As soon as Gu Yixuan and his party had left, Gao Meiru couldn’t help but start worrying.
Gu Hai heavily sat down, his expression weary, "I didn’t expect he would do this..."
"To be honest, this was all within expectations. Dad, if he could harm Chengcheng, do you think he would spare us? We are still the murderers of his mother."
"What did you say?" Gu Hai was shocked, "You... know about Chengcheng’s affair?"
Gao Meiru’s expression was sorrowful, "Of course, I know. But since you all wouldn’t talk about it, I pretended to be unaware too. Because, after all, Gu Yixuan is the last bloodline of the Gu family. Even if I hate him, I can’t cut off the Gu family’s lineage. Since I can’t do anything, I might as well choose to evade."
Gu Hai nodded heavily, "You’ve been put through a lot... It’s our Gu family... we have wronged you..."
"Dad, please don’t say that, I am a member of the Gu family in life, and I will be a ghost of the Gu family in death. There is no way you have wronged me. The death of Chengcheng can only be blamed on his own unfortunate fate."
Pulling out a handkerchief, she bowed her head and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. For the sake of revenge, she could only grit her teeth and say these insincere words. Newest update provided by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
