Chapter 917: Chapter 921: Light of Life (20)
George looked Su Li up and down with a critical eye, disdainfully saying to Gao Qianyu, "Dear, I think you should have a clear understanding from now on. You have been distinguished from those low-level people, so don’t lower yourself to mix with them again."
George was arrogant and looked down on people.
Gao Qianyu forced a smile, "Darling, I understand, it won’t happen next time."
Satisfied with her answer, George slapped Gao Qianyu on the back, winked a few times, and with a meaningful and greasy smile, said ambiguously and loudly, "Sweetheart, I’ll wait for you, hurry up."
Finally getting rid of George, Gao Qianyu’s smile quickly faded.
When she turned to face Su Li, her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
She suddenly choked up, angrily and bitterly shouted at Su Li, "Seeing me like this now, do you feel guilty and regretful?"
Su Li was puzzled. Why should she feel guilty and regretful?
Thinking this in her heart, she asked the same question aloud.
"Good or bad, isn’t this your choice? What does it have to do with me? I’m not your parents; I don’t need to be responsible for you all my life."
Even parents can let go and not care after their children become adults, right?
Gao Qianyu imagined many expressions on Su Li’s face, such as embarrassment or sadness, but she never thought he would be so indifferent and heartless.
He looked at her like he was looking at a familiar stranger.
Gao Qianyu vented her emotions and poured out her experiences from the past few days.
Su Li just listened silently; she thought it was better to be a kind person who understands others now.
Toward girls, she had always been more tolerant.
Seeing Gao Qianyu and George involved together, Su Li was still pondering the chemistry and chance between them....
Because of different motives for meeting, the final outcome was also different.
George appeared when Gao Qianyu was in distress and helped her. When Gao Qianyu thought the other was a good person who wanted nothing in return, he suddenly tore off his disguise and showed his original selfish and disgusting true face.
George stated that for the help he provided, Gao Qianyu could either choose to repay the money or opt for another form of compensation.
Profiting from others’ misfortune and exploiting others was George’s specialty.
Gao Qianyu was naive to easily believe a man’s words like this.
Like Chen Cheng before, George too....
Where did Gao Qianyu have any money? The choice she could make was obvious.
Apart from a pitiful beauty, what else could she possess that made people covet her?
She thought about running away with the child, but George had already been prepared for that.
Gao Qianyu, this Hua Country woman, was a catch George spent quite a bit of effort to ensnare and wouldn’t easily let her fly away.
George would agree to play a willing game, but once he noticed Gao Qianyu resisting, any remaining patience quickly vanished.
Afterward, George disgustingly threatened her using her young daughter, leaving compromise as the only option.
George was different from the original owner, not even comparable to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng, that scoundrel, despite being morally corrupt and lustful, perhaps held a trace of genuine affection for Gao Qianyu.
And George.... let’s not even mention it.
Over time, George drank and gambled excessively. When out of money, he forced Gao Qianyu to work at a tavern as a barmaid.
Su Li expressed sympathy for Gao Qianyu’s plight, "Maybe you need my help."
"No matter what, we are compatriots, I am willing to help you."
Gao Qianyu’s resentful expression froze for a moment, followed by overwhelming joy rising from her heart.
Her lips quivered, and she stammered, "Are you willing to take us in?"
Su Li: "...."
Hmm?
"You might have misunderstood. I meant I could help you leave that white man. You can find a job around here with your child, or I can arrange for you to return to your country."
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Like a deflated balloon, Gao Qianyu immediately wilted, followed by an even greater anger.
Her eyes burning with anger glared at Su Li, questioning, "Clearly, if you take us in, everything will be fine. Why can’t you...."
"Why? But why should I take you in? Are you so beautiful that you make the world pale in comparison, or is your face thick like a city wall?"
"You.... you will regret it." Gao Qianyu threw out this harsh statement, wiped her tears, and ran out.
Su Li stood speechless in place, dazed for a while, still confused: Why did she bring a man here today?
It doesn’t seem like she’s flaunting, but rather pouring out her tragic experiences?
Or maybe she’s wagering on her husband’s love for her, trying to make him feel guilty and remorseful? And then demand her wishes be met?
Eh, I don’t understand....
Actually, Su Li’s guesses were not entirely different; they were more or less similar.
Gao Qianyu indeed had such thoughts, which only coaxed George out the door.
She truly couldn’t believe her husband, who loved her dearly, could stop loving her completely in such a short time.
But the harsh reality told her that men really could be like this.
Rushing out in anger, George saw her outside, his stout arms like a snake as he pulled the beautiful woman into his embrace.
Gao Qianyu struggled in repulsion, her impulsive mind finally had a moment of clarity.
She regretted it; even if Su Li couldn’t take her in, she could still use this to escape George.
The naive young woman finally developed a trace of practicality when she had to rely on herself for everything.
"Let go...."
George noticed the bird in his hands dared to struggle, which made him very angry. He immediately retaliated with a slap.
Instantly, Gao Qianyu’s fair face swelled like a bun, with several cuts in the corners of her mouth, oozing strands of fresh blood, showing George’s force behind his actions.
"You bitch...." Various filthy insults were hurled at Gao Qianyu.
Having stayed on this land for so long, Gao Qianyu’s foreign language skills may not be proficient, but she could speak and understand it.
Even if she didn’t know the meaning of some obscure words, just looking at George’s fierce face, she knew they weren’t good words.
"You have some nerve, daring to hit a woman from Da Hua Country here...."
"With a filthy mouth like that, did you eat dog shit?"
"Eh, didn’t eat some? Let me treat you to some then."
