The caregiver saw her emotionally charged and hurried to comfort her, "Don’t move rashly..."
"Don’t worry about me, go stop him..."
Naturally, the caregiver wouldn’t do such a thing, "Mr. Long is not someone I can stop." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Hearing the door close, He Meiwei suddenly felt deflated and profoundly distressed at that moment.
It was she who actively lost him.
She must find him again.
He Meiwei closed her eyes, realizing she couldn’t do anything while lying in the hospital bed; she had to get better first.
"Mr. Long, you’re back," greeted Gu Lili’s teacher.
"How is her study going?" Long Yubei inquired.
"No flattery to Mrs. Long, but her memory is truly astonishing, and her learning ability is exceptionally strong. I originally planned three months of study time for her, but given her pace of progress, I think she might finish in less than a month."
Long Yubei was surprised, "That quickly?"
"Yes, I’m also amazed. Mrs. Long doesn’t seem like an ordinary person."
"She indeed is not an ordinary person." Long Yubei instructed, "Teach her everything you know; I’ll pay you extra."
Gu Lili looked at the person opposite her, "The house at Xiliang Mountain is mine, and I’ll renovate it how I please; it’s none of your business."
"How is it none of my business?" Gu Xichen retorted, "That’s where my mom lived, can’t you keep the house as it was?"
"No, I plan to live there often in the future, and I want it to be to my liking, what’s wrong with that?" She raised an eyebrow, "I lived with my master there for so many years. Although you’re her son, how much time did you spend with her? Gu Xichen, I’m not her biological child, but I’m like her own daughter."
"Since you’ve said that, then I really need to have a proper talk with you. Just because you were brought up by my mom, you can never completely sever ties with me," Gu Xichen clearly told her. "Even though we’ve called off the engagement, I still hold the status of your brother."
"Is it really bad for us to not have any contact with each other?" Gu Lili really couldn’t understand, "My knowledge and thoughts aren’t a match for you; I’m not worthy to be your sister and bring shame to you, how would that be good?"
The sarcastic words made Gu Xichen’s face alternate between pale and flushed.
"I apologize to you."
"The things I said before, about you not being an intellectual match for me and such. You grew up on Xiliang Mountain without a day of formal education; everything was taught by my mom. I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way."
She really couldn’t see through what he was thinking.
Which act was this now?
"Why?" Gu Lili asked, "You could have ignored me completely, you could have cut ties with me. Could it be because I married Long Yubei that you think I have some value to be used? Thinking like your father?"
Hearing her say this, Gu Xichen choked with emotion and said, "I’m not that kind of person!"
"Then answer me truthfully, why?"
"I regret very much what you just said." Gu Xichen’s voice was low, "Like how I didn’t spend much time with my mom when she was alive. In fact, now that I think about it, I should be grateful that you were there. You accompanied her for so many years, preventing her from loneliness. Also, about the broken engagement, I was too harsh."
Gu Lili curled her lips, "If master knew you think this way now, she would be very comforted."
