Chapter 159: The First Time I Saw You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Yu looked at Gu Lian in surprise. She had thought that Gu Lian would accuse her of not thinking before she did things and would disdain her for being inexperienced and not worthy of his identity. She had long been prepared for the worst.
...However, she did not expect such a comforting sentence. Mo Yu instantly felt a lump in her throat and was about to cry.
Gu Lian patted Mo Yu’s back comfortingly and sat on a chair at the side. He looked up at the sky.
It was already completely dark. The lights in the city were dazzling. The colorful lights made the sky no longer look pure black. Perhaps it was because the lights were too bright, but there were almost no stars in the sky.
“When you talked about those disasters back then, I was actually wondering what you had experienced to know so much about those disasters.” Gu Lian spoke and continued without waiting for Mo Yu to answer.
“Do you still remember the first time we exchanged? You wanted to abuse me with a needle in your hand. At that time, you quickly exchanged back. In the end, when the second exchange happened, I was the one who replaced you to meet those socialites and young ladies to attend the event.”
“Before I left, I even tidied up in the washroom. At that time, your skin was rough, and I could only tell that your facial features were not bad. Your hands were covered in calluses, and your joints were big. Your nails were also dirty. They didn’t look like a girl’s hands at all.”
“My first reaction at that time was not ‘So it was the owner of these hands who hurt me’. I was thinking, ‘This girl must have suffered a lot in the past.”
Gu Lian seemed to have fallen into his memories. His eyes lost focus and he looked straight at the sky.
“After that, there were frequent exchanges. Although most of the time, it was you who initiated it unilaterally. Every time I heard your coquettish complaints, I wanted to strangle you. It was really noisy. Moreover, you had been abusing me previously. It really hurt when the needles pierced my skin. At that time, I thought that if I woke up one day, I would definitely take revenge on you and make you wish you were dead. But I don’t know when it started, but I suddenly didn’t hate you anymore.”
Mo Yu also sat down and quietly listened to Gu Lian’s memories.
From time to time, cicadas chirped in the small garden. Accompanied by Gu Lian’s story-like narrative, it made Mo Yu calm down for no reason.
”1 seem to be used to your chatter. It also might be because I really needed a portable tool like you to let me travel back and forth to the company freely and understand the development of the Gu Corporation. Just like that, I slowly stopped hating you with the intention of using you. Although I still want to kill you sometimes, this thought is not as strong as before.”
Gu Lian suddenly sat up straight and stared straight at Mo Yu. “After the exchange between the two of us, you really changed a lot. Sometimes, I even think, is this really still the woman who abused me? Mo Yu, I’m very curious about you now. What did you experience to make you so extreme at that time?”
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment and mocked in her heart: I can’t exactly say that I’m indeed not the same person as the person who abused you before, right?
Therefore, Mo Yu planned to mix truth and falsehood and let Gu Lian guess slowly.
Mo Yu displayed all her acting skills and said in a calm but dissatisfied tone, “Young Master Gu, do you want to know what I’ve experienced? It’s nothing more than growing up in the countryside after being swapped. I don’t have any impression of it before I was three years old. After I was three years old, I had to help the family clean up and do chores. I ate coarse grain and sometimes, I didn’t even have enough to eat.”
“The clothes I wore were all unwanted by others. It wasn’t easy for my family to find me. I originally thought that I would have a good life now that I had a family. I didn’t expect that I would marry you, who was still in a coma at that time, on behalf of others. I still had to wake up early every day to take care of you. I had to look at other people’s expressions and live like a servant in a feudal society. Wouldn’t I have become sad and extremist?”
After Mo Yu finished speaking, she seemed to have let go. “But later on, when we exchanged, I felt that you might wake up, so I treated you a little better. Thank goodness you woke up. Otherwise, in two or three months, I would realize that my efforts were useless and have to change back and continue to abuse you..”
