Chapter 4: Brutal Affection (1)

  Damn it!

  Although he wasn't particularly interested in this cold woman, it was undeniable that he liked her body, and just thinking about how innocent and charming she looked when she got drunk on the bed made him pitch a tent.

  He pressed her back against the wall with a fierce breath!

  "Gu Xi Cheng, if it's about the divorce agreement tonight, I apologize to you. Let me go..." Wen Tong pushed him away in a fluster, all her willpower insufficient to support her at this moment...

  What's the difference between her doing this and those women outside?

  She suddenly became very afraid, afraid of him touching her.

  Beep beep beep!

  Kou Xicheng's mobile phone rang at a critical moment.

  He impatiently picked up the phone, "Speak quickly!"

  The nurse on the other end of the phone was startled by his tone and said cautiously, "Mr. Gu, it's like this, Miss Wú's hand had some reaction just now, do you want to come over and take a look? Remember you said that no matter what happens..."

  He was stunned for a moment, but the next second he hung up the phone and walked quickly to the sofa to pick up his suit jacket, slamming the door as he left.

  Right after that, a loud whistle was heard from outside, and the car drove away from the Gu's mansion in the heavy rain.

  In the villa's hall, Wen Tong sat on the ground like a broken wooden puppet, hugging her trembling body, which was like fallen leaves, and silent tears slid down quietly.

  She wasn't unmoved by Gu Xicheng, but after their wedding night, he treated her as if he had completed a task and ignored her, not even touching her again. She didn't know why he was treating her like this... It wasn't until later, when she heard the news from Ruan Ayi, that she learned his original intention in marrying her - it turned out he only wanted her to hold the position of "his wife" for the woman he loved.

  She was just an excuse he brought home to appease his family who were urging him to get married.

  At one time, she thought that she was Cinderella who met a prince and would marry her, this illegitimate daughter.

  It was only later that I knew the prince did it for his Sleeping Beauty...

  To this day, she still often dreams of the first time she saw Gu Xi Cheng. He turned around and smiled at her, a warm and heart-stirring smile that lingered in her mind.

  **

  Half a year ago, one day, Wen Tong, who was dependent on her mother, suddenly received a call from that person.

  The voice on the phone changed from its usual stern tone to an extremely flattering and smiling one, saying, "Tian Tian, you see that Dad has raised you and your mother for so many years, and even supported you through college. It's not easy, but today is finally the day when you can repay Dad and the Wen family... Dad's company has encountered some problems..."

  Wen's father, Wen Xiong, started a medium-sized jewelry company. Although it wasn't a listed company, he was still considered a wealthy man.

  But Wen Tong couldn't catch any light because she was the most shameful illegitimate daughter in society, her mother Li Xinping was a mistress.

  Li Xinpeng has been suffering from autism since a failed suicide attempt and lost his ability to work.

  Wen Tong had been working part-time while studying until she graduated from university, when she finally found an internship outside. However, her meager income was barely enough to support the living expenses of her and her mother.

  "In a 40-square-meter rental house, Wen Tong said in a tone that was neither loud nor soft, 'Dad, my university tuition fees were earned by myself through part-time jobs and thriftiness... My living expenses with Mom were also earned by myself through work...' You three have been living a life of abundance, without even caring about the lives of my mom and me?"

  "So you're saying I haven't raised you guys at all?!" The voice on the phone suddenly thundered.
