Chapter 902: Chapter 906: Light of Life (Part 5)
"Su Li, the child is innocent. Although I hated him when I first knew of his existence, but..." Gao Qianyu touched her belly, revealing a bitter smile, and said, "But when I gradually began to feel the fetal movements, I couldn’t bear it."
Gao Qianyu lifted her large eyes, accentuated by her thin face, and looked at her husband pleadingly, "He surely also wants to live."
"Typically, the earliest you can feel fetal movement is over four months, but I felt his presence at just three months. He must want his mom not to give up on him."
"Su Li, you know you’ve always followed my wishes. This time, just listen to me once more. Didn’t you say before you wanted to be a daddy? Now it’s perfect. In the future, the three of us can live happily together..."
Su Li was unaware of what the original owner felt at the time; she only knew that when she revisited this memory scene of the original owner, her face looked like she was constipated, indescribable.
However much the original owner loved Gao Qianyu, he was still a man.
Because of his affection, he could forgive the tragedy of his wife being violated, as she was also a victim, she didn’t want it either.
But making him keep the child and raise it as his own — is that not an insult to him, or an insult to him?
The original owner was very shocked; he completely couldn’t understand the decision his wife made.
Moreover, he wanted to be a dad, but it should be with his biological child, so what is it to raise the offspring of a rapist?
Doesn’t Gao Qianyu feel disgusted? Would it not constantly remind her of what she once went through?
The original owner was an ordinary person, and his thoughts were those of every ordinary man.
He demanded that Gao Qianyu get rid of the child in her womb.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Gao Qianyu disappeared, along with the money he placed in the drawer intended for her abortion.
Initially, he was worried, afraid his wife might recklessly go to some small clinic on her own.
Life abroad wasn’t as glamorous, and the streets were far more chaotic than back home, with fights and brawls emerging in abundance.
And such cheap illegal clinics matured accordingly.
The original owner worried that Gao Qianyu, being naive, might be duped into going to an illegal clinic and harm herself, which would be troublesome.
But the original owner had misunderstood. The thought of his wife feeling ashamed and deciding to undergo an abortion by herself was completely wrong.
Gao Qianyu, as firm as she’d been before, had no intention whatsoever of aborting the child; she ran because she wanted to keep him.
A frail, helpless woman couldn’t run far. Gao Qianyu was soon found, hiding here and there, almost getting bullied by homeless African men on the street several times.
The original owner couldn’t accept Gao Qianyu’s decision, yet couldn’t bear seeing her suffer.
He brought Gao Qianyu back and they had a sincere discussion, which ended in discord anyway.
The original owner borrowed a sum of money from his boss and gave it all to Gao Qianyu. At this point, they truly separated.
Of course, this so-called ’thorough’ separation was only perceived by Gao Qianyu unilaterally.
In reality, the original owner kept silently watching over her.
After she left her husband, she met a kind-hearted middle-aged man who let her work in his home, temporarily settling down.
Gao Qianyu wasn’t aware that this middle-aged man was entrusted by the original owner.
The original owner paid this middle-aged man a substantial amount every month.
Almost all the money he earned monthly ended up for Gao Qianyu.
Just like this, they stayed abroad for ten whole years.
Until the appearance of Chen Cheng.
Back then, Chen Cheng was just a minor snakehead broker but now had made a name for himself in the local Chinese Street.
Smoking cigars, escorted by little cars, followed by numerous underlings.
Such a scumbag, driven by selfish desires, blatantly ruined people’s good lives.
Before meeting him, even if unwilling, the original owner couldn’t do anything. But now, the enemy was before him; to do nothing would be unworthy of himself.
As someone who had been walking the dark and gray zones for years, he had plenty of whips on him.
At an important gathering, the original owner reported the opponent, inciting the belief that Chen Cheng wanted to rebel, unchecked, bullets knew no bounds, leaving Chen Cheng critically injured.
On his deathbed, his underlings didn’t want him to live with regrets and went alone to find Gao Qianyu.
Ten years past, Gao Qianyu’s resentment toward Chen Cheng seemed gone. After some thought, she still took her daughter to meet Chen Cheng.
Because of this, the two connected again.
Having constantly been following Gao Qianyu, the original owner grew increasingly resentful.
The incidents back then, seemed to only haunt him grudgingly.
Suddenly, he realized that all he did over the years, all he resented, was meaningless.
Watching Gao Qianyu, perhaps even she was unaware that during the brief time when she was away from him, she might’ve unknowingly fallen for that man who forced her.
The original owner was provoked and couldn’t help appearing before Gao Qianyu, in anger, revealing everything, including his revenge on Chen Cheng.
Gao Qianyu was shocked and then disappointed: "Su Li, jealousy has made you no longer the person I knew."
It seemed Gao Qianyu later said many hurtful words to him, which he couldn’t recall.
The original owner and Gao Qianyu formally split fissure.
Later, he heard Gao Qianyu acquired a significant inheritance and returned home with her child.
The original owner had also wasted away for ten whole years abroad, earning nothing, yet aging unrecognizably.
Disheartened, he used the last bit of money saved up to buy a ticket home.
Once home, he found out that the Su Family had become the subject of ridicule in the village, with everyone eagerly currying favor with the Gao Family.
After returning home, Gao Qianyu took her family away from the Su Family.
When the Su Family chased her demanding the whereabouts of their son and brother, she merely showed a face of indifference and said calmly, "We divorced long ago, the child isn’t his."
The Gao Family used the money Gao Qianyu gave to build grand mansions and drive little foreign cars.
While the Su Family, for years, had been repaying the borrowed money and supporting several members of the Gao Family, still lived in a decaying house from ten years ago, with the Su siblings exhausted and emaciated.
The original owner always felt shame returning home, filled with deep regret.
Especially one afternoon, curled up at a street corner, he watched a small car stop not far from him.
Gao Qianyu and her daughter got out of the car and walked into a sweet cake shop; afterward, the little girl came out holding a pretty birthday cake.
The little daughter suddenly turned back to ask her mother, "Mommy, do you think daddy also thinks I am the cutest little Princess?"
Gao Qianyu showed a gentle, reminiscent smile, "Yes, your daddy loves you the most. If he were still here, you’d be his most beloved little princess."
The original owner felt struck by lightning, suddenly bewildered. After chasing so long for light, he realized his Light of Life would burn him.
