Just like dust

Chapter 245 The promise of the year (2)

Until his death, he was always concerned about his only daughter, Lin Xueer.

Gou Erqian's father was grateful for his kindness, so when Gou Erqian was only 16 years old, he made a marriage contract with Lin Xueer.

And Gou Erqian reluctantly agreed to be engaged to Lin Xueer because he didn't let his father leave any regrets before his death.

At that time, Gou Erqian was still a little rebellious, full of the vices of a noble son, full of dandyism, and most liked to hang out with some wealthy children at night.

Gou Erqian knew that he shouldered the mission of the entire Gou family and owed the Lin family's kindness. He also knew that it was impossible for him to fall in love with any woman in his life.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who you marry and who you sleep with.

What Lin Xueer wanted was only the identity of the young mistress of the Gou family, so he put her at home like an ancestor, serving her with food, drink and money. A lifetime of improvisation can be regarded as fulfilling the entrustment of his father when he was dying.

Unexpectedly, Gou Erqian met Liu Xu.

Unexpectedly, Gou Erqian didn't know until now that he would also be moved, and he would also be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Gou Erqian gripped the hand of the hospital bed and tugged it fiercely, his originally worried expression became struggling and tangled.

Seeing that Gou Erqian was silent, Mrs. Gou simply pushed him out with one hand, her pale and sickly face was full of firm determination: "Since you can't let go of that woman, then get out of here, and I'll pretend I never gave birth to you." This son, from now on, you don't want to pay homage to your father, so that he won't be disturbed when he sees you."

As he said that, he coughed a few times "cough, cough, cough—" and bent over to cover his mouth, breathing heavily and with difficulty, as if he was about to faint again after a disagreement.

Gou Erqian's heart immediately rose to his throat, he rushed to the hospital bed, picked up a glass of water, and handed it to Mrs. Gouer.

Mrs. Gou didn't seem to appreciate it at all, she threw the cup on the ground with her backhand, pointed at Gou Erqian with trembling hands, every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat.

"Gou Erqian, let me ask you one last time now, do you want Xue'er or that woman!"

Gou Erqian's heart was torn apart in an instant, and it collapsed in an instant.

Mrs. Gou is forcing him with her life to choose between Liu Xu and Lin Xueer!

Liu Xu stood at the door of the ward, and through a slight gap, she could vaguely see Gou Erqian's side face struggling and bewildered, like a lion fighting a trapped beast, dying.

She suddenly remembered the joke that Lan Yu told her in the car, Gou Erqian is a mother's treasure, extremely filial, as long as it is what his mother says, he will absolutely obey him unconditionally.

But now, Mrs. Gou is lying on the hospital bed, and she may get sick at any time. Gou Erqian will not reject such Mrs. Gou...

As soon as this thought arose, Gou Erqian's voice came out again from the ward: "I will marry Lin Xueer..."

Liu Xu's heart instantly fell to the bottom.

"But..." Gou Erqian's attention at this moment was all on Mrs. Gou, and he didn't notice the figure outside the door. He continued, "I still want catkins."

As soon as these words were said, Liu Xu suddenly laughed out loud, as if she had heard some big joke, which made her raise the corners of her mouth mockingly.

She was smiling, but the tears fell down without disappointment.
