Chapter 168 Her Paradise, Her Hell
Aunt Li came over, holding a cloak, and draped it over Gu Zhiyao.
Gu Zhiyao felt a warmth spread through her body and thanked Aunt Li.
Aunt Li shook her head and said, "It's getting late, shall I go inside and rest with you?"
Gu Zhiyao stared at Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, is Brother He Yi not coming back again tonight?"
Aunt Li was taken aback for a moment.
"Did he go to Zheng Yuanxi's place? He was away on a business trip for so many days, he really should go and see Zheng Yuanxi. Anyway, he stayed with me for the first few days before he left. But Auntie, what do you think I am now? Isn't it like in ancient times, he had two wives who took turns taking care of him? And I shouldn't be called a wife, not even a concubine."
"Don't overthink it." Aunt Li choked up as well.
"Yes, one shouldn't be too greedy, nor should one put him in a difficult position. He's good to me and likes me because I'm obedient, don't distract him, and don't make him feel bad or angry. Actually, this is much better than before," Gu Zhiyao murmured.
Aunt Li felt both heartache and sadness looking at her silly appearance.
Finally, with Aunt Li's encouragement, Gu Zhiyao returned to her dormitory.
Over the next few days, she still received no news from He Yi.
It was as if he had vanished from her life.
She considered calling him, but ultimately refrained from doing so.
What era are we living in? The signal is so strong, how could he not have received the message? He just didn't want to reply.
Just like before.
But that was before!
Their relationship has changed.
Gu Zhiyao's mind was filled with the passionate scenes of those nights with him, his domineering yet gentle ways towards her, how he took her to see cherry blossoms, took photos with her, watched the sunset with her, and told her that after the baby was born, he would take her to see the most beautiful sunrise in the world.
Those scenes are still vivid in my mind, profound and beautiful.
I can't believe it's turned out like this. Why did it have to be like this?
"Zhiyao, please don't be like this, okay? Be good, don't be like this." Aunt Li's voice was choked with sobs as she tried to comfort her.
Facing Aunt Li, Gu Zhiyao didn't need to hide her grief. "Auntie, maybe I was wrong. He never loved me, never. It was just that he was so different those few days that made me greedy. He and I are from two different worlds!"
"Don't think too much. Take care of yourself. No matter what, the child is the most important thing, right?"
Yes, the baby is the most important.
You must protect your baby!
Because of Aunt Li's companionship and encouragement, Gu Zhiyao persevered despite her sadness. She waited for He Yi's arrival day by day, and those beautiful memories became the motivation for her to keep going. However, a week later, a piece of bad news completely crushed her.
He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi got married.
The marriage of the two giants in Yuncheng caused a sensation throughout the city, with local TV stations and even online platforms reporting on it extensively.
It was a magnificent and breathtaking wedding. Zheng Yuanxi wore a stunning wedding dress, and he wore a stylish suit. The two were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. On the dreamy and grand stage, they were sweet and loving, receiving the envy and blessings of everyone. Everyone was clapping and cheering, and the whole place was in a frenzy of joy.
Only Gu Zhiyao, watching these scenes that she had longed for but could never achieve in her lifetime, was moved to tears.
Aunt Li also heard the news and, before she could even recover from the shock, rushed to see Gu Zhiyao. Sure enough, she saw Gu Zhiyao crying and trembling all over. She quickly hugged Gu Zhiyao and said, "Girl, don't cry, okay? Baby needs your care. We won't look anymore. Auntie will take you out for a walk, to the park, or to the countryside, far away from here, okay? Don't cry, you can't cry anymore!"
Gu Zhiyao collapsed into Aunt Li's arms, clutching her tightly, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
Seeing that her condition was getting worse and worse and that she couldn't stop at all, Aunt Li was terrified and hurriedly dialed He Yi's number.
Unfortunately, no one answered the phone. Yes, he was having his wedding, happily celebrating a major life event with another woman. How could he have time to answer the phone?
But Mr. He, even if you've chosen Miss Zheng and are going to get married, shouldn't you at least inform Miss Gu beforehand? Giving Miss Gu this sudden blow is no different from bombing her.
That's so cruel!
How could you be so cruel!
You're going to kill Miss Gu!
"Miss Gu, Zhiyao, please, please calm down! I'm so scared, I'm afraid something will happen to the baby. This is your only thing. What will you do if you lose it too? Zhiyao, please, don't do this, don't do this!!" Aunt Li was truly terrified because she knew that if things continued like this, Gu Zhiyao's baby would definitely be lost!
But Gu Zhiyao was completely out of control; she had fallen into a vortex of despair.
Aunt Li had no choice but to call Quan Xinyu again. Fortunately, the phone was finally answered after ringing a few times.
Aunt Li burst into tears. "Assistant Quan, where are you? Are you free to come over now? Miss Gu is devastated by the news of President He's wedding and has been crying non-stop. I'm so afraid something might happen to her. I've been calling President He but no one is answering. Are you at the wedding? Why don't you give your phone to President He and let him say a few words to Miss Gu and explain to her? Just an explanation, okay?"
As He Yi's special assistant, Quan Xinyu was in charge of arranging the wedding. Naturally, he was also at the wedding and witnessed what a sensational, stunning, and beautiful wedding of the century was!
While the marriage between the He and Zheng families, forming an unshakeable alliance, should indeed be announced to the entire business community, isn't this a bit too ostentatious?
This wedding was heaven for Zheng Yuanxi, but it was hell for Gu Zhiyao!
A few days ago, He Yi asked him to announce the wedding news and make the wedding known to the world. He still held a sliver of hope that President He would change his mind.
Unfortunately, he was wrong. The wedding was not low-key at all, but even more high-profile. Zheng Yuanxi was more ruthless than he had imagined!
This was specially made for Gu Zhiyao to see!
Listening to Aunt Li's tearful lament, Quan Xinyu glanced at the radiant bride and groom on the stage, who were beaming with pride as they accepted the congratulations, envy, and admiration of the crowd...
How could he go and disturb them?
Unless he doesn't want to live anymore!
And even if he went there, President He probably wouldn't pay any attention to him!
Quan Xinyu then turned his gaze away from the stage and quickly walked out of the magnificent wedding venue, telling Aunt Li, "You comfort her first, I'll be right there."
"You mean come now? Where's Mr. He? Could you please give him the phone first?" Aunt Li asked excitedly.
“Mr. He, I’m busy! Aunt Li, you’re an old auntie now, you know how to handle this, right? Remember, no matter what, you can’t let Gu Zhiyao have any accidents, and you can’t let the child have any problems, understand?” Quan Xinyu became stern.
Aunt Li quickly agreed, "Okay, I understand. Then come over quickly."
