Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 604 - 369: Aren’t You The Same?

He Chenxiang nodded, "Aren’t you the same? You’re still in love with Gu Yucheng, aren’t you?"

Ji Su looked towards the turbulent sea, and after a while, she spoke softly, "He was my first love; I wasn’t even 18 when we got together. Back then, I didn’t care about worldly views. I thought as long as I loved him, that would be enough. I was young and full of vigor, optimistic and sunny. I loved him and took care of him, never letting him do any housework. I would put a lot of thought into making soup for him. At that time, he had just graduated from college; he wasn’t the Crown Prince of Gu Group yet. He worked his way up step by step to where he is today, starting from the bottom and even getting blisters on his feet from selling products. He was too frugal to take the bus, yet he spent his first month’s salary on a crystal hairpin for me. To reduce my family’s expenses, while I was still a student without any income, and also dealing with a mother who was addicted to gambling, I barely had any financial ability. Yet, I had so many hopes for the future..."

As she spoke up to here, Ji Su was somewhat choked up, "A hair salon fancied my hair—it was long, black, and shiny back then—so I secretly cut it off and bought him a tie clip. I thought he would be so happy wearing the tie clip I bought for him every day..."

At this point, Ji Su laughed again, "The outcome is clear without saying; I couldn’t use his crystal hairpin with my short hair, and he..."

Ji Su didn’t continue, instead, she covered her face with her hands.

He Chenxiang then said, "He wore the tie clip you bought; he was happy!"

"No..." Ji Su looked at him, "His tie is no longer by his side..."

He Chenxiang didn’t understand, but didn’t interrupt.

"He told me, on his way back once, a little girl got hit by someone on a motorcycle, and he used the tie to bandage her wound to stop the bleeding..." Ji Su said softly as if recounting a tragic story, "Thus, my gift, and his gift, could only be placed in the gift box."

He Chenxiang still did not disturb her, sensing that the story was not yet complete.

"At the time, I didn’t mind; instead, I felt that our relationship was in perfect harmony." Ji Su said, "The younger me was full of passion and confidence that we would be together and have a good life. However, as time passed, I changed, and so did he... until a few days ago at her home, I saw that tie, preserved as her treasure. She told me that once a big brother had saved her, and she never had the chance to return his tie. She was very grateful to him..."

At this point, He Chenxiang couldn’t help but say, "She is Lu Xiao!"

"Yes!" Ji Su nodded, "Chenxiang, I have always believed in fate. Tell me, isn’t there fate between Lu Xiao and Gu Yucheng? They have it..."

He Chenxiang comforted her, "Perhaps at that time, Gu Yucheng was just kindly helping a little girl, and he couldn’t have foreseen that he would meet Lu Xiao again ten years later."

"Is this fate predestined?" Ji Su said with tears and a smile, "My hair that was cut off can grow back, but once his tie is gone, it’s gone..."

He Chenxiang still continued to comfort her, "You could just send him a tie along with the clip!"

"I thought the same thing at that time!" Ji Su looked up at the starry sky, "Back then, I so firmly believed in love; I believed that I could still wear his crystal hairpin and he could wear the tie clip I bought, and we could still love and cherish each other for life... Only, time has changed everything, and it all turned out to be nothing more than a mirage, a fleeting illusion... Thank you, Chenxiang, thank you for being an audience to such a cliché story... Let’s go back."

He Chenxiang escorted her back to her home, and she returned his coat to him!

He Chenxiang pulled her into his embrace with one arm, and said emotionally, "Ji Su, thank you for trusting me so much. I’m also willing to be a shoulder you can rely on, no matter what decisions you make, I will wish you well. My only hope is for you to be happy."

Ji Su nodded, "I will be, thank you!"

Gu Yucheng’s car was parked not far away, watching the man and woman embrace under the starlight. She didn’t host the program tonight, could it be just to meet with He Chenxiang?

Ji Su, while you’ve promised not to mingle with other men, are you secretly dating another man behind my back?

Ji Su, was I just a toy in your hands during our decade-long relationship?

Ji Su, Ji Su, Ji Su, has our love always been a monologue performed by me alone?

Ji Su, where has the beautiful and passionate woman gone? Why is there only a scheming woman full of resentment left?

Ji Su, wearing a double mask, are you tired?

Ji Su, when you’re with me, in our most intimate moments, do you think of other men?

Ji Su, I’m tired, I’m so tired... I’m really tired...

Ji Su, what about you? Will you continue this performance?

...

The hospital.

Zhuo Yufeng accompanied Lu Xiao to change her dressing, looking at the two scars on the small arm, "Lu Xiao, consider a desk job!"

"I won’t!" Lu Xiao said firmly, "I don’t like desk jobs. If I wanted a desk job, I wouldn’t have studied at the police academy; I might as well be a secretary. Zhuo sir, if getting injured while catching a thief means I should switch to a desk job, then who would still be a cop?"

"You’re Lu Mojing’s sister!" Zhuo Yufeng looked at her intently, "I promised Bei Ran to take good care of you, and now you’re hurt, how do I explain this?"

Lu Xiao looked back at him, "Ran sister is just worried about me! I understand, but, Zhuo sir, I don’t hope to be under you just because of connections. I have my own abilities!"

Zhuo Yufeng admired such a newcomer, full of enthusiasm for work and dedicated to the front line. Police officers know that there is always risk involved.

"Be careful in the future!" Zhuo Yufeng said, "Otherwise, don’t blame me for transferring you away!"

"Yes, sir!" Lu Xiao responded happily.

At this moment, Zhuo Yufeng’s cell phone rang. He answered the call and said, "You stay here for a follow-up check. There’s a gang fight on the street, I’m going to take people over right now..."

"I want to go too..." Lu Xiao naturally really wanted to go.

Zhuo Yufeng sternly said, "Behave and have your dressing changed here, I will come to pick you up! If you dare go, I will not allow you to stay on the major crimes unit anymore."

After Zhuo Yufeng left, Lu Xiao waited for the Doctor to check her wounds, then she heard people discussing at the nurses’ station:

"Someone with a brain tumor was sent in today..."

"Yes, very young, quite similar to someone we had last time..."

"You’re talking about Lu Mojing, right..."

"Right, it’s him. Truly a case of heaven envying the talented, so young yet suffers from such an illness..."

It struck Lu Xiao like a bolt from the blue. Upon hearing such a conversation, she couldn’t help but step forward. She rushed to the nurses’ station, "Who are you talking about?"

An older nurse said, "We didn’t say anything, we didn’t..."

"Yes, you did!" Lu Xiao cut them off, "You’re talking about Lu Mojing, aren’t you? Please, tell me, will you? Lu Mojing is my brother; he has been missing for a long time..."

The nurses who were chattering before were now all stunned. Everyone knew that with such an illness, how long the body could hold on was anyone’s guess! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The nurses all quietly walked away, and Lu Xiao couldn’t believe such a result. Her brother had been missing for so long; it turns out he was ill, and with such a serious disease!

No!

It can’t be!

Lu Xiao ran towards Gu Qingchen’s Doctor’s office like she had gone mad. She didn’t believe what others said. Gu Qingchen was Bei Ran’s husband; he must know the truth...

...

Chief Doctor’s office.

Ji Su came to deliver a document from the radio station to Gu Qingchen, "Qingchen, I’m leaving!"

Gu Qingchen nodded, and just then, Lu Xiao barged in energetically. As soon as she saw Gu Qingchen, she said, "Doctor Gu, I want to know, does my brother have a brain tumor?"

Ji Su was about to leave, but upon hearing Lu Xiao’s question, her heart also leaped.

She knew about Lu Mojing; he had a crush on Bei Ran and later disappeared quietly...

Lu Mojing had always kept this news under wraps, and Gu Qingchen also knew that there were no impermeable walls in the world. He said, "He is indeed sick!"

"Is it a brain tumor?" Lu Xiao asked him, trembling.

Gu Qingchen nodded, "Yes!"

"Brother..." Lu Xiao crouched down in pain. It turned out that her brother hadn’t disappeared without reason; he was sick, and he had such a severe illness, but there was not a single relative by his side...

"Miss Lu..." Ji Su stepped forward to help her up.

Lu Xiao’s face was covered in tears, and she couldn’t utter a word. Then, with a loud shout, she ran out.

"Miss Lu..." Ji Su immediately went after her.

"Lu Xiao..." Gu Qingchen also ran out.

Although Lu Xiao’s hand was injured, as a young girl, she had inexhaustible energy and vigor. She quickly ran out of the hospital onto the roadside, where the traffic was fast and dense.

As Ji Su naturally didn’t have Lu Xiao’s physical strength, Gu Qingchen stepped forward and pulled Lu Xiao back, "Lu Xiao, calm down a bit!"

"How can I be calm?" Lu Xiao was on the verge of collapse, "He is my only relative, and I didn’t even know..."

Ji Su ran up, panting, "Miss Lu, your wounds haven’t healed... Don’t be like this, your brother will definitely come back..."

But Lu Xiao was in tears, her voice choked and intermittent, "Why does everyone hide it from me? My brother didn’t tell me, Dan Ran didn’t tell me, none of you told me..."

"Maybe they didn’t tell you because they want you to live a healthy and happy life..." Ji Su sighed, "Okay, don’t be like this. Let’s go back to the hospital first and dress your wound..."

"I won’t go back..." Lu Xiao shook her head, "I have to find my brother. I won’t return; I can’t let him endure such pain all alone..."

Ji Su held on to her without letting go, "First, you need to heal your own wounds..."
