Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1310 Dream Of Despair

In her dream, Qiao Xi saw the man shouting outside. A group of nurses rushed in and pressed her down while taking her blood with a syringe.

Those people were like lunatics, wishing they could suck her blood dry. They did not care that she was getting weaker and weaker.

The man muttered, “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I had no choice! I love you very much too, but only one of you can live. I have to make a choice. I’m really sorry. I’ve let you down…”

Qiao Xi’s heart seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow, and the pain was indescribable.

At this moment, her soul was floating in the air as she looked at the body that was being pressed onto the bed. In her dream, she looked to be 14 or 15 years old. She probably had not even started to date yet. The love this man was talking about was probably kinship.

However, she could not see that man’s face clearly. His voice was different from her brothers’. She did not remember knowing such a person at all.

Her shocked and sad expression still lingered in her mind. It was as if the young her could not believe that the man in front of her would harm her. Those sad and desperate eyes made her suffocate.

She was clearly such a strong girl. Who was the other party that could make her so sad?

Despair and pain instantly enveloped her heart. She could not breathe properly, and her body was pulled out of the dream. She suddenly sat up and gasped.

At this moment, her side was empty. The bedroom was dark, but a bright ray of moonlight shone in through the gap in the curtains. She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was only past 11 o’clock. She suddenly woke up not long after sleeping.

Qiao Xi’s heart thumped violently. She clutched her chest and could clearly sense the abnormality in her body. It was a fear that came from the depths of her heart. The fear was mixed with pain and despair.

Who was that man? Why did he do that to her? More importantly, why was she in pain?

Back then, when Qiao Rou pushed her into the water and she faced the threat of death, she did feel deep fear, but she did not feel pain or despair.

Qiao Xi thought that she would not casually rely on a man, nor would she be sad and in pain over a man. That was just a groundless dream. Why would it affect her so much?

However, was that really just a dream, or… did it really happen?

She had indeed lost a part of her memories that involved Gu Zheng. She had not found the reason or any clues yet. This time, she dreamed of another man. That man’s voice was filled with guilt. He said that he loved her, but he had no choice but to give up on her.

Were they relatives?

He did not look like someone from her father’s generation. He should be very young. Moreover, she trusted that man very much, but…

Qiao Xi fell into deep thought. Perhaps part of her loss of memory was related to this man, but she had grown up being bullied by Qiao Rou and Xu Mei. It was very difficult for her to trust someone. Why did she trust that man so much and even suffer because of his murder attempt?

Qiao Xi felt like her head was about to explode. She rubbed her temples before calling Qin An. “Third Brother, let me ask you something. Do you think I trust you very much? Do you think I’d be in shock, pain, and despair if you were to poison me one day?”

Qin An: “…”

He was already asleep when he was woken up by Qiao Xi’s call, but all he heard was her asking a strange question. He forcefully suppressed his anger as he shouted, “Little Six, if you’re sick, quickly go to the hospital for treatment!”

Qiao Xi ignored his roar and hung up. Third Brother thought that she was not that kind of person. Since that was the case, why was she in so much pain after finding out that that person had harmed her?

If there was nothing wrong with her brain, it was because that man was very important to her and treated her extremely well that she let down her guard and completely trusted that man. That was why she was in pain and despair after the betrayal.

Just as Qiao Xi was frowning and thinking, Gu Zheng pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that she was not asleep, he turned on the lights. He was wearing white lounge clothes, and his hair fell gently. He looked at Qiao Xi with his clear eyes and noticed the sweat on her forehead. He pursed his lips and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Xi looked at him seriously and asked, “Gu Zheng, do you think I’m someone who would feel pain, despair, and even run away cowardly after being hurt?”

Gu Zheng: “…”

He walked to the bed and gently fixed her hair behind her ear. Her face and lips were slightly pale. Her eyes were suffused with a trace of doubt and sorrow. He seemed to have never seen Qiao Xi look slightly weak and helpless.
