Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 468: Chapter 469: Pregnant at 16, Between Life and Death

Gu Mingzhu’s eyes moved a bit.

But she didn’t turn her head.

“Father, I had a dream, I think I saw Tan Zhen in it. She said she hated me and would never forgive me. I now understand the feeling of being denounced by everyone. Back then, I didn’t understand why such a strong person as her chose to commit suicide by taking pills. But now, I finally understand.”

The voice of Gu Mingzhu was intermittent, as faint as a mosquito buzz.

The old man spoke, “Don’t think too much about it. That incident has been over for twenty years. Besides, it wasn’t all your fault even back then. Now that you have also ‘died’ once, you can say that you have repaid your debt to her.”

“I haven’t repaid everything, father, Yangyang is the daughter of Tan Zhen.”

The old man had recently learned of this.

“The crime I committed, I am willing to bear, but I can’t let Ah Chen bear it for me. How can I face him in the future? I owe him. He will be ridiculed and scorned by the world. I ruined his marriage, father, it’s all my fault.”

“Mingzhu, do you only consider Ah Chen as your child?” The old man’s voice suddenly became stern.

Gu Mingzhu slowly turned her head, her face streaked with tears.

The old man said, “You’ve always only cared about Ah Chen, but you also have Xiao Han. He is also your own son. Won’t you think about him? Even if not, you still have a father like me. Girl, I’m old, and your mother left us too early. You are the only daughter I have left. Can you really bear to make me bury you?”

The old man’s voice started to choke.

Gu Mingzhu was already sobbing uncontrollably, “Father, I’m sorry.”

The old man walked to the bedside, slowly sat down, and took Gu Mingzhu’s hand: “Girl, your father doesn’t care about anything else, I can give up everything, but I can’t lose you. You are the most precious person in my heart, always, no matter what happens, even if the whole world scorns you, I will still stand in front of you, leaning on my cane, and compete with this world for my life.”

Every word the old man spoke was deep.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the white hair on his temples and couldn’t stop her tears: “Father, I’m unfilial. I still make you worry about me now. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life. Everyone in the world despises me. No one loves me, except you. Only you are left.”

Gu Mingzhu sat up and hugged her father’s shoulders, weeping bitterly.

Just like when she was 16, she was pregnant and threatened to commit suicide if the baby was removed, but Gao Wenbin still left.

In her desolation, she often thought of death. It was her father who gave up everything to take care of her day by day. Despite his iron-like constitution, he lost 30 pounds during those few sleepless days and nights.

Now, it seems like everything is returning to that state.

But she didn’t know when her father had aged so much.

Gu Mingzhu cried, “Father, if life could start over, I definitely wouldn’t fall in love with him. I wouldn’t be so willful, I would definitely listen to you. If that were the case, today’s tragedies wouldn’t have happened, and so many people wouldn’t be in pain because of me. It’s all my fault, all my fault…”

The old man patted Gu Mingzhu’s back, like he was comforting a child: “Girl, it’s not your fault. No one can control who they fall in love with or who they don’t. In everyone’s life, who doesn’t have a few calamities? That young man was your calamity. But you can’t be defeated, you still have me, Ah Chen, and Xiao Han. What do you care about what others think? Haven’t you always hoped that Ah Chen could call you ‘mom’? The exposure of this matter isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You have lost a younger brother, but gained a son.”
