<strong>Chapter 818: Chapter 543 – She Has Always Been Alone_1</strong>


    Gu Xuehong still remembers that particr year, when Nanxi had just turned 10 and was still in primary school. He used the first pot of gold he made in business to buy this vi. He did not tell Liang Huiqing about it, instead, he brought Nanxi to see the house first!


    Nanxi loved it and shared her ideas for every part of the house – such as reserving this space for a study room with tender yellow curtains and insisting on having a smallmp with Doraemon on the desk….


    Particrly when she saw the big yard, she happily asked Gu Xuehong, “Dad, could I cover the yard with sunflowers in the future?”


    Gu Xuehong ruffled her hair and nodded, “Of course, you can!”


    Nanxi immediately screamed excitedly, “That’s great! I want to put up a sunshade in the Sunflower Garden, so that mom can appreciate the flowers while enjoying her tea under it, ok, dad?”


    At that moment, Gu Xuehong felt so warm inside!


    He thought, you’ve finally done it. You’ve managed to provide a good life for the woman and the daughter you love!


    However, when he proposed going back to the Liang Family in their homnd, Liang Huiqing refused again!


    So Gu Xuehong buried this thought deep in his heart, stopped asking. Life went on peacefully and uneventfully. Nanxi graduated from elementary school to middle school. Though busy with work, Gu Xuehong would asionally spare some time to be with his wife and daughter. The family of three was happy, really happy!


    Lu Yinchu had witnessed these joyful moments and even envied them, warmed by them!


    Lu Yinchu looked at Gu Xuehong and read a lot from his eyes. Lu Yinchu said, “The friend you mentioned who went into business with you, his name was Zhou Jingyi, right? Six and a half years ago, when I returned to Hong Kong, your family disappeared. It was odd, so I had people investigate. Apparently, Zhou Jingyi had left Hong Kong a long time ago. Some said he went to the United States, others believed he went to Ennd. I had people search for him in both ces, but we found nothing!”


    Gu Xuehong nodded, “It’s normal that you couldn’t find him because just like me, he’s changed his name and his identity. If he hadn’t, he would’ve been tracked down eventually!”


    Gu Xuehong said that he and Zhou Jingyi made good progress in their business and were very happy when they settled down in Hong Kong, intending to slowly develop their smallpany.


    Gu Xuehong believed that everything has to be done step by step without rushing. Besides, he was not a very ambitious man. He was content and enjoyed his peaceful life. But Zhou Jingyi was different!


    He wanted to make it big and strong, to make a name for himself in Hong Kong’s business circle that would amaze everyone. He wanted to prove to all those who once looked down on him just what kind of person Zhou Jingyi really was!


    Then, an opportunity came. A famouspany approached them, wanting to ce arge order with their smallpany. The profit from this order could exceed their total profit of the previous year!


    Gu Xuehong thought it was too risky. Their smallpany simply did not have the capacity to take on such a big order, not to mention theck of adequate funds. It was simply not feasible!


    The two quarrelled over this. Later, Zhou Jingyi invited him for a drink and brought up the fact that he had eloped with Liang Huiqing. Zhou said, “Don’t you want to show your achievements to your mother-inw and brother-inw who once looked down on you? Even though you’refortable with your life now, you don’t have the kind of aplishments that people would respect. But if we make it with this order, we’ll have it all!


    “This is the perfect timing for you to proudly return home!”


    Gu Xuehong was somewhat swayed. After thinking over it the whole night, Liang Huiqing asked him about it since he was acting strange. He told her everything, but Liang Huiqing objected strongly, telling him not to sign the deal.


    Gu Xuehong said, “Qing, do you know? If we sign this, you and Nanxi’s future will be secured. I can then proudly bring you back to the Liang family and prove that I can make you happy!”


    Liang Huiqing still objected, “I already feel very happy now, so, you don’t have to sign!”


    But if you think you’re very happy, why are you so quiet and unwilling to share your thoughts with me? Why are you even averse to returning home to the Liang Family with me?


    These words would cause harm if spoken out, so Gu Xuehong didn’t say them!


    He had endured for many years, what’s a little more endurance?


    The next day, when Gu Xuehong was at work, he identally discovered that Zhou Jingyi had already set up a meeting with the deal representative to sign the agreement at 10 in the morning. In addition, the other party had proposed a concession on top of the original agreement!


    Gu Xuehong, swayed by Zhou Jingyi’s persuasion and venting some frustration caused by Liang Huiqing’s attitude that morning, eventually agreed to sign the contract with Zhou Jingyi!


    They were brothers who started the business together, Gu Xuehong trusted him a lot. But what Gu Xuehong didn’t expect was that he would fall into the trap. Zhou Jingyi ran away with the project funds!


    Gu Xuehong still remembers that moment, almost midnight, when he was awakened by a call. It was Zhou Jingyi on the line, who said, “Gu, take your wife and Nanxi and run. If you don’t leave quickly, it’ll be toote!”


    Zhou Jingyi apologized to him over the phone, “Gu, I really had no choice. I yed a game in Macau, just one game, but I lost terribly. I borrowed from loan sharks to pay off the gambling debt, which became a bottomless pit…Gu, don’t me me, I did not mean it. If I don’t do this, I will die. I could bear it if I’m the only one to die, but I have a wife and child! You also have a wife and daughter, Gu, you should know! If I intended to cheat you, I wouldn’t have made this call. Anyway, I really owe you an apology…”


    …


    But Gu Xuehong never imagined that despite fleeing with his wife and daughter in the middle of the night, it was toote!


    He begged those men to let his wife and daughter go, promising to repay Zhou Jingyi’s debts. He even offered to take them to find Zhou Jingyi. Seeing the call record with Zhou Jingyi on his phone, those men, who were only after money and did not intend to kill, decided to ept his terms and let Nanxi go, considering the fact that Zhou Jingyi was the real debtor!


    Afterwards, much of what happened was known to Lu Yinchu. Gu Xuehong’s house was seized; Nanxi became homeless and left Hong Kong with Li Weihuan. When Lu Yinchu returned to Hong Kong again, everything had changed!


    Lu Yinchu said, “At that time, I found out about the ck loan you mentioned. They said they let go of Nanxi, but took the two adults away. Later, the two adults also escaped! I thought you must have returned and taken Nanxi away, hiding somewhere in the world! So, I have been looking for you all these years! Until two years ago, in April, I met Nanxi in A County, that was when I realized… she had been alone this whole time. You really…. abandoned her!”
