Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 439: Chose the Wrong Person

Ling Tianyou didn’t know how long he had been looking at the photos before he finally set them aside and picked up the letter that had been sitting next to him, and began to read.

Although some of the words had blurred over time, he could still make sense of them by connecting the context.

"Weiwei, my beloved daughter, perhaps when you see these letters, your mother will already be in the sky. All along, I have felt sorry towards you. If I hadn’t acted impulsively back then to be with that man, you wouldn’t have been born into such hardship. Mother is useless and couldn’t give you a good life... You must grow up well. Don’t go to that restaurant anymore; I’ve asked Aunt Li next door to take care of you. Here’s some money, saved by your mother, which should be enough to get you through junior high school. Weiwei, mother can’t bear to leave you... What will you do when I’m gone?"

At this point, the letter was already damp, and even now, it bore the traces of tears.

Ling Tianyou seemed to see a frail woman sneaking to write something down when her beloved daughter was not at home.

What kind of sorrow was that? Knowing her end was near, yet her young daughter remained uncared for.

At that time, she must have been in despair!

"Weiwei, mother hopes you grow up safely. Even if one day others might despise you for not having parents, do not be ashamed, because mother will always love you. If there is a next life, I hope to make it up to you. I would take you to the amusement park, buy you your favorite strawberry ice cream. I would also take you to the swimming pool to teach my Weiwei how to swim. Didn’t my Weiwei always like the red dress on the corner? Mother will definitely buy many, many red dresses for Weiwei... Weiwei, promise mother, will you? That you’ll live well and grow up to be a righteous and strong girl."

This frail woman, even until her last moment, was still thinking of her daughter.

But what about her father? Why hadn’t her father shown up all these years?

As Ling Tianyou placed the letter back in the envelope, a few hundred-yuan bills fell out, yellowed with age but not a bit wrinkled.

It looked like Gu Weiwei’s mother hadn’t thought of using this money to buy medicine in her most painful moments!

What she thought was only her hope that her daughter could attend school.

Sadly, she hadn’t considered that her beloved daughter, overwhelmed by grief, never opened this box again.

This little box that once brought her joy was completely sealed away in that cabinet.

Placing the opened letter aside, Ling Tianyou picked up the second one.

"Weiwei, ever since you became sensible, you’ve always asked mother where your father went. Mother always told you that father went out to work and would come back to fetch us once he earned money. Back then, mother thought that even without father, things would be fine, and that I would always protect Weiwei. But now, mother wants to tell Weiwei something. Father won’t be coming back, and from now on, Weiwei has to rely on herself. Don’t believe in sweet talk from any man, don’t be as foolish as mother, entrusting herself so easily. Understand?"

"...When Weiwei grows up and meets a boy she likes, be sure to introduce him to Weiwei’s friends. Mother won’t be there to help evaluate them anymore. Weiwei must be vigilant and not be deceived by bad men. However, mother believes in Weiwei, you will surely meet a boy who will treat you well, and you’ll have a happy family. Weiwei, don’t forget to bring that boy to visit mother, alright?"

"Mother is a silly woman, so Weiwei must learn to be smarter. No matter how handsome or powerful that boy is, Weiwei shouldn’t trust the sweet words he says. Men are best at deceiving people with sweet talk, and after getting what they want, they might just kick you aside. Sometimes... it’s okay to be a bit selfish, understand?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This letter, almost every paragraph ending, kept reminding Gu Weiwei not to follow in her footsteps.

In her eyes, being deceived seemed more unbearable than having no money.

But it’s also possible that someone ill has started to blur, not knowing what she was writing anymore.

Again, a few hundred yuan fell from this letter as well.

Ling Tianyou placed everything back and couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

Even when frail, the handwriting remained neatly crafted, suggesting she had received a good education.

Moreover, from the photos, it wasn’t hard to see that Gu Weiwei’s mother was beautiful when young, likely admired by many men.

But unfortunately, Gu Weiwei’s mother chose the wrong man.

This mistake not only ruined her life but also ruined Gu Weiwei’s.

After taking out all the photos from the envelope, Ling Tianyou looked at each one. On the last photo, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt something was off.

This photo seemed to be thicker than the previous ones?

Upon closer inspection, Ling Tianyou discovered that two photos were stuck together.

Carefully separating them, a man’s face emerged in the light.

It was an incredibly handsome face, even Ling Tianyou felt somewhat inferior.

With such a man, it’s no wonder Gu Weiwei’s mother was moved.

In those days, he stood under a tree wearing a white T-shirt, casually blocking the glaring sunlight with one hand, a beautiful smile on his lips.

Even though Ling Tianyou knew early on that this man was a scoundrel who abandoned his wife and daughter, he couldn’t help but think, handsome, really too handsome.

He had never cared about appearances, but he was still taken aback.

He could even imagine that Gu Weiwei’s mother and the man in the photo once shared a beautiful time together.

But afterward, afterwards...

After looking for a while, Ling Tianyou noticed a name written in the bottom right corner of the photo, Gu Chengyue.

Gu Chengyue, why did this name sound familiar?

Supporting his arms, Ling Tianyou looked at the man in the photo, vaguely feeling he had heard this name somewhere before?

He took out his phone and entered the name into the search box, but what came up was completely irrelevant to what he was looking for.

Could it be that he remembered wrong?

But this name, it really seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.

Stuffing the photos and letters back into the envelope, Ling Tianyou glanced at the box and yawned.

There were still two letters he hadn’t read, and after glancing at his wrist, it was already half-past two?

Forget it, I’ll look at them tomorrow!
