Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 802 - 803: The Woman Who Attempted Suicide Three Times

Chapter 802: Chapter 803: The Woman Who Attempted Suicide Three Times

Xia Yangyang responded to Gu Qichen’s explanation with just a hum.

It was hard to detect much emotion in it.

Her attention seemed to be focused on the interview segment she was editing on the computer screen.

But the interview also featured Zhang Xinyi.

Her face looked so beautiful and approachable.

Even Xia Yangyang, a woman herself, found that face adorable.

...

Gu Qichen kept saying he considered Zhang Xinyi as a sister.

Yet Xia Yangyang didn’t understand what he meant by “sister.”

This led to that age-old question troubling couples and spouses: Can men and women really have purely platonic friendships?

Xia Yangyang’s mind was a mess.

However, Gu Qichen had long seen through Xia Yangyang’s thoughts.

Gu Qichen said, “There is something I think I should explain to you, about Xinyi.”

A sense of foreboding suddenly struck Xia Yangyang’s heart.

The finger that had been operating the mouse stopped unexpectedly.

“When I met Xinyi, she was a student at Renmin University, with excellent grades and character, but due to her poor family background, she sold liquor at a KTV. At that time, I was in a state of decay, frequently drinking the night away with a bunch of fair-weather friends, and she would come over to recommend drinks to us.”

Xia Yangyang remembered the photos of Xia Weiwei framing Zhang Xinyi.

She indeed saw Zhang Xinyi selling liquor at a KTV.

Xia Yangyang even saw Gu Qichen; at that time, they didn’t seem to know each other very well.

She wondered if that could have been their first meeting.

Gu Qichen said, “The first time I saw her, she reminded me of you, especially those eyes. At that point, I had been searching for you for a year, like a madman. In that year, I saw quite a few girls who looked similar to you, actually Zhang Xinyi wasn’t the most similar, but those eyes were incredibly alike, so I couldn’t help but take a closer look.”

Xia Yangyang couldn’t describe the taste in her heart.

Xia Yangyang knew her departure had caused Gu Qichen immense pain.

And in times of suffering, people often look for an escape.

Which is why so many drown their sorrows in smoking and drinking.

But Gu Qichen found a substitute instead.

Before, Gu Qichen had despised Xia Weiwei so much, just because she had plastic surgery to make herself look like Xia Yangyang, yet Gu Qichen could still be in contact with her for four years.

What then was Zhang Xinyi’s existence in Gu Qichen’s heart?

Every time Xia Yangyang thought about this, she felt both a bitter pain and sadness.

Gu Qichen continued, “But because of that one glance, she was almost destroyed.”

Xia Yangyang frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

Pain and guilt surfaced on Gu Qichen’s face.

“To curry favor with me that night, the KTV manager drugged her and sent her to my bed, completely disregarded by me; I was further annoyed at his presumption and taught him a harsh lesson. As a result, infuriated by humiliation, the manager vented his anger on Xinyi and threw her to a few entitled scoundrels, and that night, she was…”

Gu Qichen’s fingers clenched, as if he couldn’t continue.

“After hearing about it from Liancheng, I rushed over; she had just attempted suicide by taking pills, and I saved her in time. After that, I kept her by my side, but not long after, she was found to be pregnant, and she didn’t even know who the father of the child was.”

Xia Yangyang was also filled with anger, “Did those scumbags receive no punishment?”

“Don’t worry, I naturally won’t let them get away with it, but those guys, they’re not ordinary; because of their family influences, two have fled overseas with no trace to be found.”

Xia Yangyang’s heart churned in turmoil, “Then what happened later? The media coverage about you accompanying Zhang Xinyi to the gynecology clinic, was it because of this?”

“Xinyi, although unsure who the child’s father was, insisted on keeping the baby, but it was not developing well, and at two months, the pregnancy was lost. I was with her at the hospital. After the child was gone, I urged her to start over, to forget the past, and I even wanted to send her abroad to study, but she wanted to enter the entertainment industry. I respected her choice, but due to the continuous blows, she developed severe depression. Over the years, she has been undergoing treatment for depression; she’s attempted suicide three times, and I’m not sure if there will be a fourth.”
