1100: Chapter 1100: Cousin Brother (4) 1100: Chapter 1100: Cousin Brother (4) āEldest young masterā¦ā Chai Huan was struck as if by lightning when she heard this, her face turning deathly pale.
She quickly knelt and crawled two steps forward.
āEldest young master, when I was separated from Chai Qin and the others, I then fell unconscious.
It was Cousin Miss who saved me.
Itās only thanks to Cousin Missās care that I could see you, Eldest young masterā¦ā
āSo, Iām giving you to Miss Dou now.ā Gu Qinghengās mouth corners slightly curled, and then he turned and walked away.
Chai Huan collapsed to the ground at once.
She had been bought by the madam since she was little and trained with Chai Qin and the others, with the future set to serve the eldest young master.
This service was not only to act as a Guard and maid but also to warm his bed; they all decided to wait for when the eldest young master would marry, and then they would be officially accepted into his household.
Yet, she had never thought that after the eldest young masterās mishap, she was injured and fell into a coma.
Initially believing herself as good as dead, she was saved by Miss Dou and then she hoped for the day the eldest young master would returnā¦
Latterly, she truly received news from the Shadow Guard and was so overjoyed she nearly lost her senses.
Nonetheless, she knew the rules; without the eldest young master summoning her, she couldnāt appear.
However, Miss Dou became suspicious.
When she sought after Chai Huan herself, there was a hidden desire in her.
Considering that Miss Dou grew up with the eldest young master like childhood sweethearts, and when the madam was around, there were also thoughts of marriage, she could thus become the future Madam Gu.
So Chai Huan agreed and used their unique urgent communication method to call for the eldest young master, without thinkingā¦
If the eldest young master no longer wanted her, what was the point of her living?
āCousin brotherā¦ā Dou Xuemei panicked and ran up, grabbing Gu Qinghengās sleeve.
āBrother Mingyi, after all these years, why are you so cold to me?
I missed you, havenāt I?
I know you donāt want to return to the Gu Family now, which is why I came to see youā¦ā
āGu Mingyi is dead, donāt call me that anymore.ā Gu Qinghengās tone softened but his attitude remained frigid, āAlso, I appreciate your thoughts of me, but you shouldnāt have let Chai Huan deceive me.
What I detest most is deception, especially the deception from the Gu Familyā¦ā
āIām not a part of the Gu Family; my surname is Dou, cousin brotherā¦ā Dou Xuemei shook her head hurriedly.
āNo matter what they did, I never harmed you or even thought to harm youā¦
Iā¦I love you so much I wouldnāt have time to harm you.
I have liked you since we were kidsā¦ā
āPerhaps you never meant to harm me, but what about your mother?
My motherās death was greatly facilitated by my kind auntā¦ā Gu Qingheng pulled his sleeve away in one motion.
āThe reason I still carry the surname Gu is because my grandmother also bore itā¦ā In those years, his grandmother truly loved his mother, and for many years her protection allowed his mother to live her days in peace and himself to survive.
However, not long after his grandmother passed away, his mother also fell ill and passed on, and thenā¦
He had always found both his grandmother and motherās deaths too peculiar, especially after learning that someone had poisoned him a long time ago.
He became even more certain of this point, so now that he was standing up, he would uncover all these secrets bit by bit.
When the time came, he would not spare any person who had hurt him.
Dou Xuemeiās face instantly turned ashen: āCousin brother, do I need to carve out my heart for you to believe me?
Iā¦ā
But Gu Qingheng couldnāt be bothered with further talk and turned to walk away.
