Chapter 901: Chapter 905: Light of Life (Part 4)
"Brother Chen, let’s talk about this. He didn’t mean anything by it." Gao Qianyu’s crow-like lashes were dotted with tears, and with helpless, delicate hands, she pressed against Chen Cheng’s chest, weakly trying to stop his advance.
This pitiful yet adorable look instantly made the scheming Chen Cheng hesitate.
"Hmph, for Qian Yu’s sake, I’ll let it slide this time. Your matters, I won’t meddle in anymore. Do as you please."
"Brother Chen..."
Gao Qianyu turned her head, angrily lashing out at Su Li, "What madness came over you just now, talking to Brother Chen like that? Hasn’t he helped us plenty...?"
"Isn’t that to be expected?" Su Li said nonchalantly, "He did take a large sum of money from us, after all."
"I’ve heard that he’s supposed to be introduced by a familiar connection, yet we paid fees that were twenty percent higher than others."
"Do you think such a person is trustworthy?"
Gao Qianyu was unwilling to believe, "No, that can’t be possible."
Su Li knew Gao Qianyu was all beauty but no brains, but she didn’t expect her to be this foolish.
Her own husband laid the facts before her, yet she refused to believe, clinging to her own beliefs: "Brother Chen has always taken good care of us."
Su Li replied impatiently, "So what, you’ve decided to follow his advice?"
Gao Qianyu pouted, saying, "Don’t be mad. I just think what Brother Chen said makes sense; splitting up would be more beneficial for both of us."
Su Li thought, in a previous life, it must have been fate sparing this woman from being devoured whole by life.
"Alright, let me make it clear to you: That dog Chen Cheng has improper intentions towards you. Going separate ways is not the wise choice."
Based on Su Li’s character, she wouldn’t bother with such a fool.
But she couldn’t bear to watch a tragic fate befall Gao Qianyu.
Even though she is now male, her heart remains that of a young girl.
Of course, knowing what would happen later, she couldn’t fathom Gao Qianyu’s bizarre decisions and behavior.
If she faced a man who forced himself on her, let alone bear his child and fall in love with him, she’d probably cut off the guy’s little thing and feed it to the dogs, and then hack him to pieces.
Any normal person would think this way, right?
This is why Gao Qianyu is truly a remarkable girl.
In the original life, the owner hadn’t felt such struggle as now.
When Chen Cheng suggested they split up, even if the owner was unwilling and worried, out of trust for his wife, her cousin, and Chen Cheng, he agreed to the suggestion without much hesitation.
The more important reason was his compassion for his wife, just wanting her to have it better within the limitations they had.
The original owner thought it was also good for Qian Yu to come later.
Going a week ahead, he had prepared what needed preparation and settled everything, only needing to welcome his wife, sparing her many worries.
The original owner truly cherished this wife, feared losing her, and cared deeply for her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married her and, along with her, her entire family.
Even now that they’re out, Gao Qianyu’s parents and brother are still freeloading off the Su Family.
The Su Family can’t even feed themselves yet had to drag along their in-laws. This was the original owner’s greatest regret later on.
His own parents and siblings suffered because of him.
In the previous life, under the so-called familiar Chen Cheng’s suggestion, the original owner and his wife parted ways.
The original owner followed the plan and took the midnight ship, spending a full month in a sealed container. When he was finally let out, he was barely alive.
Even then, the owner felt relieved that his wife’s journey would be easier than his.
There were several close calls with patrols at sea, leaving them no chance to get fresh air along the way.
When he finally set foot on foreign soil, the owner held much hope for the coming days, only to find out how wishful they were back then.
He had smuggled himself there, living as an undocumented person, and would avoid people even during the day, fearing being discovered.
People like him wouldn’t be hired in formal restaurants or shops for fear of causing trouble.
The original owner had begged on the streets with no money and slept under bridges until four days later he found a dishwashing job at a Chinese restaurant.
The pay was low, but it provided a place of refuge, making him one of the more fortunate ones among those who arrived with him.
Money abroad wasn’t as easy to earn as people claimed; many regretted it, but having come this far, there was no choice but to keep going.
The original owner, so his wife wouldn’t find things too hard to bear, not only worked in the restaurant but did labor jobs too, working twenty hours a day.
With the daily earnings, he managed to rent a few square meters in a cheap daily-rental room.
He had even arranged for his Qian Yu not to do hard labor like others. Instead, she could work as a nanny for a kind lady looking after children.
The work was easy with decent pay.
This lady was someone he had even helped by chance, hence gaining this opportunity.
Good luck tends to follow those who strive and are kind-hearted. As long as the couple worked hard, their lives would surely get better.
The original owner counted the days for his wife’s arrival, but on the agreed day, she didn’t arrive.
Spending a bit of money, he found the smuggler who escorted them ashore, only to be told his wife’s name wasn’t on the list.
But how could that be....
The original owner tried every means but couldn’t get through to China, let alone find any information about his wife.
Three months later, his wife appeared before him, sheltered by a compatriot, looking very disheveled.
The moment he saw her, before he could even feel joy, his eyes were drawn to Gao Qianyu’s slightly protruding belly.
It was clear Gao Qianyu had suffered a lot; her rose-like beauty was wilting like a water-starved bud.
Her face was waxy yellow, her frame frail, making her slightly bulging belly all the more apparent.
The original owner’s shock and anger were imaginable.
His wife’s unfortunate experience indeed made him resentful, but more than that, he felt heartache for her.
He planned to use all his savings and borrow a large sum from his coworkers to take her to the clinic and remove the child.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that Gao Qianyu, clutching her belly, steadfastly refused.
She pleaded with him, tearfully, to allow her to keep the child.
