Gu Tianming obviously knew that Anhao would come, so when the lights came on and he opened his eyes to see her, he wasn’t surprised.
However, Gu Tianming’s eyes darkened a little when he saw that she was still beautiful. His biological daughter, Gu Shishi, was still suffering in some corner of the world. This person, who was never his daughter, was actually living a happier life than anyone in the Gu family despite having his surname.
Thinking back to the years when Gu Anhao had just been sent to the Gu family, Gu Tianming could not tell whether this was retribution from Gu Anhao or from An Ping.
Gu Tianming basically had no ability to resist now. Moreover, he was seriously ill. Anhao only asked the people here for instructions before they opened the door and let her in. However, these people could still monitor Gu Tianming’s every move through the gla.s.s window. Once he tried to hurt Anhao, someone would immediately rush in to stop him.
Anhao knew that the purpose of those people’s existence was to protect her own safety, so she did not care about those people outside the gla.s.s window. When she walked in, she found that although the dark room looked cold and uncomfortable, the air inside was still clean. There was no decay or stench as she had imagined.
However, Gu Tianming’s cold and vicious gaze attracted her attention. Anhao’s gaze fell on Gu Tianming. She walked over and stood on the bed condescendingly. Gu Tianming was so thin that his original appearance could not be seen.
“I thought you died overseas.”Gu Tianming opened his mouth first. Although he was weak, his voice was cold and filled with malice and jealousy.
Anhao suddenly felt a little puzzled. In the past, she thought that Gu Tianming only hated her because Anping had forcefully pushed her, an illegitimate daughter, into the Gu family, which was equivalent to throwing a big problem at him.
In the dark years she lived in the Gu family, she had always held this mentality. She thought that Gu Tianming, Mrs. Gu, and Gu Shishi only hated her existence because her existence would remind everyone of the dirty things Gu Tianming had done outside.
However, later on, when she found out that Gu Tianming was not her biological father, Gu Tianming said that he had already realized that she was not his daughter back then, so he broke into her room after drinking too much and almost raped her. From then on, Anhao was forced to put up her guard and hide from everyone in the Gu family. From then on, her personality changed drastically, and she became the rebellious girl who looked like a hedgehog at first sight to Zuo Hancheng.
However, the viciousness in Gu Tianming’s eyes made Anhao gradually narrow her eyes. She looked at Gu Tianming and said coldly,”Do you really want me to die abroad?”
“No, you should have died in Anping’s stomach back then. You shouldn’t have been born.”
“You’re not my father. Whether I was born or not has nothing to do with you.””Who do you think you are?” Anhao asked coldly. Did he think he was lawless after being the mayor for a few days? Every life has its own reason for surviving in this world. Perhaps my existence is destined to be a counter to you, Gu Tianming. Don’t you think so?”
Gu Tianming suddenly glared at her with a vicious expression, but he gritted his teeth and did not say another word.
Seeing his expression, Anhao looked at the bed under him again. Although the room was still clean and not as humid as she had imagined, she could see how thin the blanket under him was. He lay on such a hard bed all day and could not move. He could only be relieved from his illness until he fainted, but he was injected with an injection to wake him up when he was unconscious, and he continued to suffer from the illness.
This kind of long torture was probably more excruciating than the ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
“I’m not here to quarrel with you.”Anhao softened her tone. She was no longer facing the ” father ” who could easily hurt her, but a prisoner who would be imprisoned here and tortured for the rest of his life. He was only a ” witness ” who could provide some relevant information about her background.
“Why did my mother send me to the Gu family back then? Since she clearly knew that I’m not your daughter, why did she send me to you? She threw a big problem like me to you and then made us torture each other. What was the reason? It’s impossible that you don’t know.” Anhao asked softly as she sat by the bed.
Gu Tianming did not seem to expect her to ask so directly, even though he had guessed the reason why she would suddenly come to see him after so many years.
He turned to look at Gu Anhao.
This child was no longer the pet.i.te and fragile child who had just been sent to the Gu family and looked at everyone with a guarded gaze. He was also no longer the child who had watched Anping roll down the stairs and lie in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open in fear and confusion. Of course, he was also no longer the little Anhao who had endured the pain of being bullied by his wife and daughter in that small room.
She had to admit that Zuo Hancheng had rescued this little gra.s.s from the cracks and filled her life with sunshine. The way she gradually grew up was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Many people thought that Gu Anhao was just an unremarkable little gra.s.s. Even if she was brought by someone like Zuo Hancheng, even if she was under the sun, she was just a little gra.s.s living under the sun. She was still so unremarkable.
However, Gu Tianming saw a different feeling in her.
This didn’t feel like the An Ping from before, who was bent on taking revenge on everyone. Now, even if Gu Anhao had doubts and hatred in her heart, those impulses that were similar to An Ping’s had gradually been exhausted. Instead, there was an inexplicable aura that seemed to be born with her.
At this moment, Gu Tianming began to wonder who Gu Anhao’s biological father was.
Seeing that Gu Tianming didn’t say anything, Anhao wasn’t in a hurry. She took a wooden chair from the side and saw that it was still clean. She sat on the chair and slowly waited for him to speak.
“I won’t torture you like the people here, even though I do hate you.”Anhao said calmly,” My life in the Gu family for five years was like h.e.l.l, but I did not starve to death during those five years. Even if I lived worse than a servant, even if I had broken ribs, even if I was beaten up in a corner, at least you gave me the chance to continue my studies. Although you sent me to A High for the sake of your reputation, you did manage to let me continue my life.”
Seeing Gu Tianming’s surprised expression, Anhao’s gaze remained indifferent.”We can slowly waste time. Anyway, I have plenty of time. As for you, you know how long you can endure the torture of this illness.”
