Chapter 164 - 163 His Self-Deception (1)
Dong Xin Yan blinked her large eyes, still unable to react. Gu Ningyi’s grip on her shoulder unconsciously tightened slightly, his voice deepening, "Answer me!"
The pain in her shoulder brought Dong Xin Yan back to her senses. She was about to protest, but seeing Gu Ningyi’s extremely serious expression, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, with something seemingly floating beneath them, her protest silently swallowed back.
She recalled the question Gu Ningyi had just asked, feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if... he had asked her a similar question before?
Back then, hadn’t she already answered him? Why was he asking again now?
Although Dong Xin Yan didn’t understand, she didn’t ask much. She just answered him truthfully, "After Dad and I moved out, we haven’t returned to the Gu Family, and of course, I haven’t seen you."
Dong Xin Yan answered quite naturally, and in fact, it was natural. If it weren’t for Dad being a driver for the Gu Family, she and the Gu Family wouldn’t have any connection whatsoever. After Dad was fired, the two of them moved out. How could they possibly return to the Gu Family? And someone like Gu Ningyi, she wouldn’t have seen him at all. Besides, at that time, she didn’t want to see him at all, okay!
If it hadn’t been for him, how could her dad have gotten fired and lost their livelihood?
The treatment from the Gu Family was indeed quite good, so Dad could support her and take care of her chronically ill grandma. But also because of grandma’s treatment, Dad didn’t have any savings, and then he was suddenly fired. Even Gu Ningyi’s car accident was blamed on Dad’s negligence, which spread throughout the entire circle. Dad lost his credibility, and no one was willing to hire him. During that time, they lived extremely hard. Every time she saw Dad hanging his head in frustration while pretending to be fine in front of her, she couldn’t help but hate Gu Ningyi.
Later, when she heard he had gone blind, she even gloatingly cursed him, saying he deserved it!
