Chapter 39 -039 What is our relationship
Gong Xiaoqiao lowered her brows, speaking faintly, “I’m sorry, I was too agitated. Gu Xiaorou is your sister by blood, what you did was beyond reproach. To you, I am but a stranger with no say in your life, and you need not apologize to me.”
Gu Hangshen gritted his teeth, gripping her shoulders tightly, “A stranger? Gong Xiaoqiao, do you even have a heart? Reflect upon how I’ve treated you over these years!”
Gong Xiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly, looking up at him, “Yes, you have been very good to me! No one has pampered me more than you have! But what are we to each other?

Tell me, what are we to each other? Your childhood sweetheart sees me as a thorn in her side, constantly ostracizing and targeting me, your sister stole my man, caused my mother’s death! What should our relationship be?
I know I am weak-willed; seeing you upset softens my heart; your concern makes me rely on you; one smile from you, and I lose all sense of direction. I am so pathetic! Gu Hangshen, please, I’m begging you, can’t you stop being nice to me…”
Gu Hangshen stroked her hair, a bitter smile on his face, “Such sweet words, yet why do they sound so sad?”
She stepped back, avoiding his touch, “Gu Hangshen, don’t come looking for me anymore. I’ll move out of the apartment tomorrow and take all my things. I won’t be going back there. As for Grandfather, I will talk to him too. I can take care of myself.”
Seemingly unprepared for her decisiveness, Gu Hangshen looked at her with a grim face, “For Qin Yao, you would sever ties with me?”
“It’s not for Qin Yao! I just don’t want to put you in a difficult position, nor do I want to be in one. This is for the best for both of us!”
“I don’t feel it’s difficult, tell me, where is it difficult for you?”
“Of course it’s difficult! I hate Gu Xiaorou, I hate Gong Hannian! But they are the people you are closest to! You don’t find it hard? If not, then don’t look at me with those pleading eyes. I can never forgive Gu Xiaorou for what she did to me in this lifetime!”
The tense atmosphere was broken by the ring of a cell phone.
This time it wasn’t the older schoolmate calling, the screen showed Shen Xiaotian.
Aside from Gu Hangshen, Gong Xiaoqiao liked to name contacts close to her in the X Xiao X format. For example, Leng Xiaojing, Leng Xiaotou, Tang Xiaoyu, Sheng Xiaoyu… and the former Gu Xiaorou, Qin Xiaoyao.
Gong Xiaoqiao answered the call.
“Hello, Little Fox, is Brother at your place?”
Gong Xiaoqiao glanced at Gu Hangshen, “He’s here.”
Shen Letian first let out a sigh of relief, then hurriedly asked, “Little Fox, you haven’t forgotten what day it is today, have you?”
“Christmas, what’s up?”
“My dear lady, don’t play with me, okay? It’s nearly ten already, and everyone in this house is waiting for Boss Gu! Ever since you went to D City, we’ve been living in utter misery, worse than pigs and dogs.
This time I went to great lengths to organize a costume party, hoping to cheer up Brother on his birthday. My dear lady, could you not ruin my efforts?”
“What does it have to do with me? When have I ever ruined your plans?” Gong Xiaoqiao found Shen Letian’s usage of idioms quite disagreeable.
“Could you do me a favor then, and come to Fengming Mansion now?”
“Why should I go? Just get Gu Hangshen himself; isn’t this just a goose chase?”
“Not at all, not at all! This is the same destination by a different route! If you come, Brother will follow, won’t he?”
“I can’t come, I’m busy.”
Gong Xiaoqiao hung up the phone, then glanced at Gu Hangshen, “Shen Letian and the others are urging you to return. You better hurry back!”
After saying that, she turned and walked away, entering the venue.
