Free Web NovelChapter 1071: Chapter 46: Gu Yan Feels He’ll Be Infuriated to Death by Nie Xiaoxing Sooner or Later
Nie Xiaoxing paused and said, "This is the very least of my conscience as a human being!"
After speaking, Nie Xiaoxing lifted her foot towards the room, walking away without looking back.
"Conscience? You think only you have a conscience? But we can hardly survive now, striving to live has already exhausted all our strength!
What does conscience count for? Can conscience keep us safe, help us survive?"
Fu Ruyi stared at Nie Xiaoxing’s back, her tone ambiguous between self-mockery and sarcasm.
"If losing our conscience is necessary to survive, then staying alive is just being a living corpse; might as well be dead and over with!"
Bang—
Nie Xiaoxing’s words fell silent.
The room door slammed shut in front of Fu Ruyi.
Fu Ruyi covered her face with both hands, collapsed on the sofa in despair.
She only knew that one has hope only while alive; once dead, everything’s gone!
So she didn’t want to die!
She simply didn’t want to die, is she wrong!?
Everyone has fears, everyone has a dark side, but if that dark side overshadows the light in one’s heart, such a person is undoubtedly extreme and terrifying!
Fu Ruyi not wanting to die isn’t wrong! Nobody wants to die!
But she, to save herself, ignored the life and death of her friend and biological daughter, which undeniably makes her despicable!
Such a person.
She herself is cowardly, having never committed any heinous acts nor dared to kill.
Yet, she was willing to send others to hell for her own survival!
Nie Xiaoxing hates Fu Ruyi, hating not only her act of handing her to those people for herself and Nie Fangsheng back then but even more hating that after all these years, she hasn’t seen even the slightest remorse from her!
Nie Xiaoxing often thought.
If Fu Ruyi genuinely repented, maybe she wouldn’t treat her so coldly now.
Even if she couldn’t not mind entirely what she did back then, at least, she wouldn’t hate her more!
...
Gu Yan was back at the apartment about an hour before receiving Nie Xiaoxing’s whereabouts after eleven at night via email.
Seeing the result, Gu Yan nearly spat blood onto the phone screen.
Though he didn’t actually spit blood, the phone instantly broke upon hitting the floor!
Mr. Gu, mighty with his strength of 87, the phone shattered into pieces, beyond repair.
...
Early next morning, after a sleepless night frustrated, Mr. Gu drove to wait at the apartment building where Nie Xiaoxing moved in, intending to wait for her!
Unexpectedly, he was waiting downstairs from before seven, until nine, eyes strained, but Nie Xiaoxing didn’t appear.
Mr. Gu exhausted his patience, slapped the steering wheel and decisively got out of the car, heading towards the apartment building.
At the apartment, Gu Yan could have directly entered using his fingerprint.
But considering Fu Ruyi and Nie Fangsheng live inside too, barging in felt impolite, so he obediently rang the doorbell.
Soon.
The apartment door opened.
But the one appearing wasn’t Nie Xiaoxing, it was Fu Ruyi.
Gu Yan pressed his thin lips together and greeted politely, "Aunt Fu, good morning."
Seeing Gu Yan, Fu Ruyi immediately smiled, "Xiao Yan is here, come in quickly."
Gu Yan walked in, changing shoes at the entryway, and while walking inside, looked towards Nie Xiaoxing’s room.
"Xiao Yan, have you eaten?" Fu Ruyi asked enthusiastically.
"Yes." Gu Yan replied absentmindedly, and greeted Nie Fangsheng sitting on the sofa, "Uncle Nie."
Nie Fangsheng opened his mouth to smile at Gu Yan, but said nothing.
Gu Yan reached the sofa, initially wanting to sit, but impatient, furrowed his brow, disregarding propriety, turned himself directly towards Nie Xiaoxing’s room.
"Xiao Yan, are you looking for Xiao Xing?"
Fu Ruyi paused, looked at Gu Yan’s back and asked.
"Yes." Gu Yan glanced back at Fu Ruyi, continuing towards Nie Xiaoxing’s room.
"...But Xiao Xing left this morning." Fu Ruyi said.
Gu Yan’s steps suddenly stopped, he turned swiftly to stare at Fu Ruyi, his face astounded, "What did you say? Little Xing’er left? When?"
He was downstairs waiting since seven, hadn’t seen her go out at all...
Could she have left before seven?
What Fu Ruyi said next confirmed Gu Yan’s thought, "Xiao Xing left just after six, with her luggage."
Luggage?
Gu Yan turned, walked briskly towards Fu Ruyi, his voice tense, "What luggage?"
"...Xiao Xing didn’t tell you?" Fu Ruyi stared at Gu Yan’s perplexed expression, saying in surprise.
Gu Yan pressed his lips, his temper quickly ignited, burning fiercely, and lowered his voice, "No."
Fu Ruyi frowned, "What’s wrong with Xiao Xing? She’s going to participate in a competition in another place, how could she not tell you? It’s dangerous for her to go alone."
