Chapter 164 : She Saw A Man Standing There Downstairs

"You've already said what you said, what do you expect me to say?" Mu Lanshu pulled her lips mockingly, "Gu Nian, no matter what happens in the future, I don't want you to lie to me again. We have been dependent on each other until now, do not disappoint me."

Gu Nian's eyes were filled with tears and she was speechless for a long time.

She sniffed hard: "Mom, I promise you."

"There is also the matter of Chu Zhaoyang. Just give up. I will not agree to the two of you being together." Mu Lanshu said coldly.

"Mom, tell me, why?" Gu Nian raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, "Mom, can you give Chu Zhaoyang a chance? He will solve the concerns you just mentioned. After that, you give us a chance, okay?"

"Even if everything is resolved, I don't agree." Mu Lanshu said firmly.

"Mom!" Gu Nian shouted in a broken voice, "At least give me a definite reason, okay? The feeling you give me now is that you are objecting just to oppose. Even if all the obstacles disappear, you will not agree. Why? You have to give me a reason!"

Mu Lanshu pursed her lips tightly and looked away from Gu Nian's face for a while before saying, "Mom won't harm you, just listen to me."

Gu Nian looked at her in disbelief: "Mom, since I was a child, I have listened to you no matter what you say. I have only resisted you twice. Once, I wanted to be a policeman and you objected. At least, you can give me a reason. You worried about my safety. But this time, you are so inexplicably opposed. Mom, if you are really good for me, just think about me. If it were you, would you agree? "

Gu Nian felt so distressed that she really couldn't understand why Mu Lanshu was feeling so distressed.

She objected without even giving a reason.

"If you are together now, you will regret it in the future!" Mu Lanshu said sternly, "If I say that you will break up sooner or later, even if you have to turn against each other, you will still stay together? Gu Nian, listen to me, don't fall into this trap now. Let's break up now. I don't want to see you get hurt."

"What's the reason? Why are you so sure that I will be hurt and we will turn against each other?"

"Why don't you listen to me!" Mu Lanshu was angry and anxious, her face turned red. Her opposition this time was much tougher than when Gu Nian was a police officer.

Mu Lanshu unconsciously raised her voice, making a sharp sound that stung her eardrums.

"Mom, you insisted that we break up without even giving a reason. How can I listen to this?"

"Did you listen to the reason I said before?" Mu Lanshu said angrily. She raised her hand that was trembling with anger and pointed at Gu Nian.

"Those are just excuses you made, aren't they? Chu Zhaoyang and I both said that if those are no longer a problem, would you agree? But you still don't agree." Gu Nian said weakly.

"Okay, okay." Mu Lanshu nodded angrily, pointing at her and asking, "Then let me ask you, which one do you choose between Chu Zhaoyang and me?"

Gu Nian looked at Mu Lanshu in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, Mom..." Gu Nian burst into tears, "Are you forcing me like this? Why are you forcing me like this? Why on earth? You don't allow me to be with Chu Zhaoyang, you want to force me like this. Mom, don't say that."

She shook her head in concern and begged: "Mom, I beg you, don't say it."

But Mu Lanshu refused to listen. She was determined and said harshly: "Tell me, him or me, who do you choose? A man or a mother? Gu Nian, if you choose him, just pretend that you don't have me as your mother!" "

"Mom!" Gu Nian cried and screamed, "In your eyes, our mother-daughter relationship is so worthless, you can use it as a threat? If anything happens, you just use our mother-daughter relationship threaten to server ties?"

Mu Lanshu held back tears, her jaw trembling tightly: "You choose."

Gu Nian raised the back of her hand and wiped the tears from her face, but then, many more tears flowed out.

With a "pop" sound, Gu Nian knelt in front of Mu Lanshu.

"Mom, I beg you, don't force me to choose. You are my mother, and you have suffered a lot to raise me. So my biggest wish since childhood is to be filial to you when I grow up and make you happy. No more hard work."

Mu Lanshu covered her mouth, tears falling down.

"But Chu Zhaoyang is the man I love. Mom, I love him. I feel sorry for him. At first, I didn't feel anything for him. I just thought this man was very good. But I didn't like him at that time. I told you last time, it's impossible for me with him, and I'm serious."

"But as I gradually got to know him and his affairs, I felt sorry for him and I loved him." Gu Nian knelt in front of Mu Lanshu and looked up at her with tears in her eyes. "Break up and avoid being sad in the future. But how do you know what will happen in the future?"

"And...and I'm in lovebtoo deep. Mom, I can't get out. I love him so much that I can't give up on him. If I'm not with him, I'll worry about him and his safety. I'm worried about his body and his mental state. I'm afraid that he will be sad, and I'm afraid that he will feel uncomfortable but remain silent and just keep it in his heart to torture himself."

"Sometimes he is like a child and doesn't know how to take care of himself. Mom, I have given him half of my heart. Do you know? He couldn't even smile before. Finally, I saw him smile. Now, he only smiles at me. Mom, I really want to see him smile at more people, smile happier and more naturally."

"You've only been together for a long time, and you've already fallen in love? Do you know what love is?" Mu Lanshu asked, "Don't take yourself too seriously. You feel that without you, he has lost the world. Same. Wouldn't he still be able to live without you?"

"I have never been in love. I don't know. I only know that I can't live without him. I have never cared about a man so much. Yes, he can still live without me. But he finally became a man, and I can't let him. He is living as if he has no soul and no emotions. What's the point of living like that?"

"He was afraid of the dark, so I held his hand and walked with him. He never smiled, so I tried to find ways to make him laugh. When he encountered uncomfortable things and kept them in his heart, I let him slowly get used to speaking out."

Mu Lanshu took a small step back, but Gu Nian, she was like this all because of her dad!

"Mom, there is something, if I tell you, you will hit me." Gu Nian said suddenly.

Mu Lanshu's expression changed: "What's the matter?"

Could it be that the two of them have already...

"You should have read the reports before. Chu Zhaoyang almost got engaged to Jiang Xiangxue, but then something happened to the Jiang family and Jiang Xiangxue was imprisoned for murder." Gu Nian said, "Before that, Chu Zhaoyang was away on a business trip, Jiang Xiangxue took the opportunity to find me and threatened me to leave him."

"I went back and thought about it for a long time. Do you know what decision I made?" Gu Nian asked.

Mu Lanshu lowered her head and looked at her with trembling lips.

"I think that even if Chu Zhaoyang is really forced to get engaged to her, I would rather be Chu Zhaoyang's shadow lover than let go of his hand and let him walk into the darkness."

"Pak!"

Mu Lanshu raised her hand and slapped Gu Nian: "You are so mean!"

"Yes, Mom, I just want you to know that for him, I can do anything, I can be stupid. So even if I am really sad in the future, no matter what happens between the two of us, at least in the future I will not regret it, even if I become an enemy, I will not regret my current choice."

"I'm not afraid of getting hurt, but I'm afraid of him getting hurt."

"Gu Nian, remember, men don't have so many last resorts. All their last resorts are just irresponsible excuses!" Mu Lanshu said sharply.

"So, Chu Zhaoyang directly dealt with the Jiang family, so that the Jiang family is finished from now on and can no longer be an obstacle to us. Mom, no matter what happens in the future, at least now, he loves me, and I love him too."

Mu Lanshu raised her hand to hit her again.

When Gu Nian saw her, she neither begged nor hid. There were tears on her face, but she knelt there calmly and let Mu Lanshu beat her.

"Mom, hit me. If hitting me can make you change your mind, then hit me."

Mu Lanshu gritted her teeth in hatred, put down her hands angrily, turned around and returned to her bedroom.

Gu Nian still knelt there without moving, wondering what Mu Lanshu meant by this. Did she finally give up, or did she never change her original intention?

***

Gu Nian returned to the room and had just washed her face. At this moment, the face in the mirror looked extremely embarrassed.

One pair of eyelids was swollen, and the eyeballs were also swollen, like fish, and were red.

The lips are slightly swollen and the cheeks were also swollen with slap marks.

Gu Nian touched it and felt a burning pain.

Mu Lanshu really put in a lot of effort.

She remembered that she still had the medicine given by Chutian Hospital in her bag, so she took it out and applied it on her face, which made her feel better.

Gu Nian sat on the bed and took out her phone.

After thinking about it, she didn't know what to say when she called Chu Zhaoyang. That man was never suitable for making phone calls.

She had heard him talk about business, and she only heard him say "hmm" from time to time, and occasionally said a few words, which were always concise. But at least business has a theme.

Once he called for personal matters, he had nothing to say, and the phone was so quiet that it was particularly awkward.

So, she sent him a WeChat message: "Are you home?"

Since then, she have been watching the phone.

It took about twenty minutes before she received a message from him: "Just got home."

After a while, she saw another message from him: "What did aunt say?"

Gu Nian wrote: "My mother...let me choose, you or her. But I will not give up."

This message has been sent for a long time, but Chu Zhaoyang has not replied again.

Gu Nian didn't want to hide it from him, so she told him about Mu Lanshu's attitude.

But she was afraid that he would be worried, soshe told him her attitude.

Gu Nian's bed was close to the window sill. She sat on the bed with her hands on the window sill, looking out unconsciously and then looking at her phone. Chu Zhaoyang never replied.

Just now she was wondering if Chu Zhaoyang happened to have some official business and went to deal with it.

But it's been so long now.

Gu Nian dialed Chu Zhaoyang's number.

After a while, Chu Zhaoyang picked up the phone, and Gu Nian immediately said, "Chu Zhaoyang, are you okay?"

"I'm okay." Chu Zhaoyang paused, "I just received a call from work."

Gu Nian then breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't receive your reply. I was afraid that you would have random thoughts. Chu Zhaoyang, I am very greedy and will not give up on either side."

Chu Zhaoyang seemed to be relieved: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Nian lay down relaxedly, but couldn't fall asleep, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

After a long time, she really couldn't calm down, so she sat up again, lying on the window sill and looking down.

As a result, she saw a man standing there downstairs, looking up.

Gu Nian was startled, thinking it was some kind of abnormality.

But if she look closely, she will see that the man standing in the dark, his clothes and figure were all very familiar.

If it were daytime, she could see the face clearly, but at night it was too dark and the street lights were broken a lot, so she couldn't see clearly.

Gu Nian immediately opened the window and poked her head out, just in time to look into the eyes of the person downstairs.

It was really Chu Zhaoyang!

Gu Nian didn't even bother to close the window. She immediately jumped out of bed and opened the closet. Without looking carefully, she took off a coat from the hanger and rushed out while wearing it
