eft the ward. 。As Gu Chi left, Su Ke Xin turned around and met Cheng Luo's gaze. 。"What's wrong" Su Keqin was a little confused by the meaning in Cheng Luo's eyes. 。"It's nothing," Cheng Luo smiled, "...Chapter 766: A Joke
Lu Yuanzhan finished speaking and got up to leave. Gu Ke'yu, not being impolite, also stood up to see him off. Just as they reached the door, Lu Yuanzhan turned back, looked deeply at Gu Ke'yu and said, "I hope you can understand my actions today. This is about the family's reputation, and as the manager of the family, I cannot stand idly by."
After finishing his words, Lu Yuanzhan left the apartment without looking back, got in his car and drove away. After Lu Yuanzhan and his group departed, the oppressive atmosphere in the entire house instantly eased considerably. Even the air inside felt fresher all of a sudden.
Gu Ke Yu lightly closed the door, a look of worry on his face as if relieved. At this moment, Tang Li Jia sat straight, her face blank, eyes vacant, as if she had lost her soul. Gu Ke Yu walked over and waved his hand in front of her face, but Tang Li Jia didn't even blink.
“Sigh,” Gu Ke’yu sighed, she knew that what Lu Yuanzhan had just said would be a big blow to Tang Lijia. She gently patted Tang Lijia's shoulder, and Xiao Tang stood beside her, looking a little at a loss. Gu Ke’yu gave her a wink, and Xiao Tang turned back to her room. These things were not something an outsider could comment on.
Gu Ke Yu saw that Tang Li Jia was still motionless sitting there, so he slowly took Tang Li Jia's head and put it on his shoulder, reaching out to hold her in his arms. At this moment, Gu Ke Yu felt Tang Li Jia's body was abnormally cold, and her body was as stiff as iron.
This startled Gu Ke'yu, she brushed the stray hairs from Tang Lijia's face, gently shook her body, and softly called out in her ear: "Tang Lijia, Tang Lijia..."
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Lijia felt like her thoughts were pulled back. She turned to look at Gu Ke Yu, and at this moment, there was no sparkle in her eyes as there used to be.
"Gu Ke Yu..." Tang Li Jia's voice was hoarse, and a few hot tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, revealing two tear marks on her pale face.
Her tightly clenched lips finally loosened slightly, revealing a few streaks of blood. Her snow-white hands were also marked with scratches from her nails. Gu Ke Yu knew that when Lu Yuanzhan pressed her verbally, Tang Lijia had been enduring it all along.
Seeing Tang Liji in this state, Gu Ke'yu pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped away the tears on her face. Then, he got up and found the first-aid kit, using medicine to clean the damaged area of her lips. After everything was taken care of, Gu Ke'yu finally felt relieved.
"Gu Ke Yu, I think all of this from beginning to end is just a farce. If I hadn't been with Lu Ji Ting, none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have been targeted and humiliated, and I wouldn't have any reason or qualification to refute them. Am I really a joke, a clown who would do anything to enter a wealthy family"
Tang Lijia's tone of voice was very calm, without a hint of anger, like a helpless and resigned Ugly Duckling.
Gu Ke Yu listened to Tang Li Jia's words, understanding that she still wasn't confident in herself and stuck to her previous opinions. He couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for her.
“I know his father’s words today were a big blow to you, and I understand that your identities are indeed worlds apart. But you should understand that you two love each other deeply, and these things have nothing to do with money or status. If you had the idea of breaking up, it would be a huge blow to him as well.”
"For your own happiness, you should strive and fight. You're not alone in this battle, Lu Jiting is also fighting against his family. If you suddenly give up, then all his efforts before would be wasted!"
"Heh heh." Tang Liji let out a wry smile and said, "Ke Yu, you can't understand the pressure and thoughts I'm under. What his father just said was hurtful. I feel that even if I continue to insist, in the end it will only be a joke."
When she said these words, Tang Lijia's emotions were somewhat agitated. After finishing, she took a deep breath and her tone gradually became calm and cold: "If I hadn't appeared, Lu Jiting would have followed the path laid out by his family step by step, and at that time he would have had many choices and would have met someone better than me. My appearance disrupted all of this."
"If things continue like this, I'll be holding him back. It's better to let go and allow him to soar towards a wider sky."
Tang Lijia's tone was firm. Gu Ke'yi wanted to persuade her further after hearing this, but the words stuck in her throat. She knew Tang Lijia had made up her mind, and any more persuasion from her would be useless. These things needed Tang Lijia to make the decision herself; as long as she didn't regret it later, that was all that mattered.
"Ke Yu, I also have something to remind you. Just now, Lu Ji Ting's father said those words in front of me, specifically emphasizing his status. He was not only warning me, but also reminding you not to be like me. If you really want to be with Lu Ji Yan in the future, you have to be prepared to endure everything I have endured."
Tang Lijia said in a serious tone, because she didn't want such things to happen again.
“I’m not stupid, I saw through what his father was saying the moment he started talking. But rest assured, Lu Jiayan and I aren’t that kind of relationship, there’s absolutely no possibility between us. In the future, I will also try my best to keep some distance from him.” Gu Ke Yuyi knew this was Tang Li Jia looking out for her, fearing she would end up like herself, but she had already seen through Lu Jiting’s father's intentions.
Seeing that Ke Yu understood, Tang Li Jia didn't continue talking. Instead, she kept her head down and stared blankly ahead. The entire room fell silent.
Just like that, the two sat quietly for a while. Gu Ke Yu was afraid that sitting like this would be too much for Tang Li Jia's body, so he said, "Alright, don't think about it so much. I'll help you into the room to rest well. After you sleep, all these things will be over."
Saying that, Gu Ke Yu stood up and gently helped Tang Li Jia up.
Although Tang Lijia's legs were injured, with a lot of effort in treatment and consistent rehabilitation massage, her legs have shown some improvement. Now, she can walk a certain distance with support, and sometimes Tang Lijia will even try to stand up and walk by holding onto a wall. These efforts have been very beneficial for her leg recovery.
Tang Lijia nodded and reached out to place her hand on Gu Ke's arm, wanting to slowly stand up.
"Ah!"
Due to Tang Lijia's prolonged sitting and the mental blow she had just received, her body felt stiff. As she stood up, she lost her balance for a moment and collapsed to the ground. since put that matter out of her mind. 。I never expected that something like this would happen today. It seems like someone has been planning to harm me for a long time. 。Recently, she's been so busy...
