Only You: The Billionaire's Obsession-Chapter 214: Center of Attention

Feeling the overwhelming sadness emanating from Gu Jiayin’s body, Ye Zhilin laughed wickedly, "Gu Jiayin, do you think you are very pitiful?"

Pitiful? Indeed, very pitiful!

Gu Jiayin bit down hard on her lower lip.

However, some hatred is rooted deep in the heart. Even if she was innocently dragged into this, including Gu Qiyun’s manipulations, it couldn’t offset her hatred for the Qin Family.

This family inflicted too much harm upon her.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jiayin still laughed, but the smile was complex and cold, "Even if everything you say is true, Ye Zhilin, you must die today. Seven years ago, I endured the taste of being torn apart by crocodiles In the River, and today you will taste it too."

Ye Zhilin, who had been trying to use startling truths to maliciously torment Gu Jiayin, shivered in fear upon hearing about the crocodile attack, "No, let me die now, I don’t want to be torn by crocodiles."

However, her plea could not sway Gu Jiayin’s determination.

Gu Jiayin stepped forward, lowered her gaze to look at Ye Zhilin for a moment, then raised her long leg, and stepped on her, "Ye Zhilin, I have something to tell you, my mother is not dead, she is still alive."

"What did you say?!" Ye Zhilin shouted angrily, "How can she still be alive, while I’m about to die?"

It was as if she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Gu Jiayin laughed coldly, "Yes, she’s not dead, but you will die. You will never have future time, you will never see how the person you hate most lives longer in this world than you."

Originally dying, Ye Zhilin seemed to be suddenly infused with foreign energy, stood up with a jolt, and tried to grab Gu Jiayin with her waving hands, attempting to drag her down the cliff together.

However, the wind on the cliff was strong, and she was too weak. Her eyes couldn’t see, and as soon as she stood up, she wobbled. The wind blew, and she instantly fell off the cliff, without the need for Gu Jiayin’s intervention.

As the sound of the water echoed, Gu Jiayin stood at the edge of the cliff, watching downward as several wild crocodiles savagely tore Ye Zhilin apart, seeing with her own eyes her body being divided, torn limb from limb.

...

Although one enemy was gone, Gu Jiayin felt no joy from revenge; the truth of today left her mind restless and empty as if unable to think at all.

She drove back to the city, in a daze, reflecting mostly on the past seven years, on Gu Qiyun’s various constraints and pressures on her, and the scars left on her back.

Before the age of sixteen, Gu Qiyun thought she was her biological daughter and loved her like a treasure. But after the age of sixteen, she suddenly realized she was not her biological daughter and treated her as a pawn for revenge.

The car moved slowly forward.

Gu Jiayin couldn’t admit that the family affection that had supported her through difficulties was actually a scheme. She now understood that Gu Qiyun in Suri was not forced to be a hostage, but...

She really didn’t want to believe that Gu Qiyun willingly stayed in Suri as a hostage, with the express purpose of forcing her back to Licheng City for revenge.

Ultimately, she couldn’t resist picking up her phone and dialing a number.

"Hello?" It was quickly connected, and the calm, sharp voice of Gu Qiyun came through the receiver.

"Mom." Gu Jiayin endured the soreness in her throat and finally uttered that increasingly unfamiliar term, "I want to ask you something."

"You know everything?" Gu Qiyun was very calm, calm as a lake without a ripple.

Her calmness made Gu Jiayin immediately realize that someone had been watching her from the Suri side, "Mom, am I really not your daughter?"

"No," Gu Qiyun replied straightforwardly, "After Gu Shaohua told me the truth, I quietly went to do a DNA test, and indeed we are not mother and daughter."

"So," Gu Jiayin’s tears finally fell, staining her pale face with streaks, "You stopped loving me; after brother died, you hated me too and tortured me for seven whole years."

"Jiayin," Gu Qiyun remained calm without a hint of emotion, "If I didn’t force you like this, you would never have become the strong person you are today, and our revenge could never be fulfilled."

"If I were your biological daughter, would you still treat me this way?"

Gu Qiyun was silent, "I don’t know..."

"Jiayin," after the silence, Gu Qiyun spoke again, "I raised you for sixteen years, treating you as my own."

"Yes," Gu Jiayin suddenly laughed self-mockingly, "Sixteen years, such a great kindness."

Gu Qiyun remained silent and calm, but Gu Jiayin heard the subtle rise and fall of her breath, indicating she did have emotional fluctuations, but they were so slight they were almost non-existent.

Just because she’s not biological, those sixteen years of mother-daughter affection became as thin as a cicada’s wings with Gu Yachen’s death.

Gu Jiayin spoke again, "Then," she actually smiled, "How should I repay your nurturing grace?"

She suddenly wanted to find her biological parents, to experience what real kinship granted by blood felt like.

Gu Qiyun took a deep breath, "Jiayin, please don’t hate me, I’ve lost two sons."

Gu Jiayin laughed lightly; was that her fault?

Gu Qiyun said, "Find and return the Blood Tears Jade, exchange for my freedom, and bring me back to Licheng City to reunite with Sheng Qianchi, and you will owe me nothing anymore."

"...Alright." Gu Jiayin bit her lip, replied faintly, and a sense of desolation welled up from her heart to her throat, "I will quickly find Blood Tears Jade, bring it back to Suri, fulfill your dream of reunion with Sheng Qianchi, and then..."

Then go on our separate paths.

Sheng Qianchi, she also won’t want anymore.

They are the true family; only she is a pawn, a pitiful creature, huh!

Fine, she will have no more emotional burdens, never needing to think about whom to avenge for, completing this special task and exchanging for permanent freedom, with the sky high and the sea wide.

After the call ended, Gu Jiayin’s tears had already blurred her vision, one by one, large tears falling on the steering wheel, making a cracking sound.

Familial love, so far out of reach, where are her biological parents, do they know they lost a daughter?

Suddenly, there was a "bang," the car hit something.

Gu Jiayin immediately stepped on the brakes, opened the door, and got out to inspect.

Lying under her car was Qin Xueyao, with a large pool of vibrant red blood flowing under her, so much that it seemed excessive.

Qin Xueyao was looking at her, smiling wickedly, "Gu Jiayin, you will accompany my child in death."

Before Gu Jiayin could react, Qin Xueyao’s agent had already shouted, "It’s bad, she hit someone!"

The crowd quickly gathered, pointing and commenting, with reporters appearing out of nowhere, circling around, continuously pressing shutters.

In an instant, Gu Jiayin helplessly became the focus of public condemnation.
