The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 216: Chi Yu Once Attempted Suicide for Gu Yuan

’Bang’—the sound of the car door slamming shut.

Everything returned to silence.

After Gu Yuan got out of the car, she heard a voice inside urgently calling Chi Yu’s name—

Perhaps Chi Yu had fainted again.

Or maybe he was faking it, trying to gain her sympathy.

Gu Yuan was no longer buying it; she walked away decisively and without hesitation. At this moment, she had one thought in mind: Chi Yu brought this upon himself, he brought it upon himself!!

Inside the car.

After Gu Yuan left, Chi Yu hadn’t fainted, but his state was alarming even to Tu Kuan. Tu Kuan didn’t dare to wait any longer and drove the car back to Chi Yu’s place. After getting out of the car, he helped Chi Yu inside.

As soon as Chi Yu got home, he went straight into the bathroom.

He locked the door behind him, not allowing anyone to disturb him. Tu Kuan knew he needed time to calm down, to process the hurtful words Miss Gu had spoken.

He waited for a long time, almost until dusk.

Tu Kuan knocked on the bathroom door, but there was no response. He knocked again, but still heard nothing: "At least make a sound, even if you’re angry."

After repeatedly calling out and getting no response, Tu Kuan had no choice but to break down the door.

When he burst in, he saw Chi Yu lying in the large bathtub.

The sight sent a chill down Tu Kuan’s spine, freezing him from his back to his toes.

He immediately stepped forward to check on Chi Yu, discovering that he was merely soaking in the water, his pulse still beating and the water unchanged in color. Only then did Tu Kuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Almost thought he had committed suicide again!

When Tu Kuan tested the water temperature in the bathtub.

It was frigid.

Bitterly cold.

Had he been soaking in this freezing water for that long??

"What’s the point of torturing yourself like this; Miss Gu can’t even see it, and even if she did, she might not care." Tu Kuan didn’t help him up, but stood beside the bathtub.

Chi Yu’s body was already cold and numb, as if he could not feel anything.

Even moving was becoming difficult for him.

He had soaked in the water like this for an entire afternoon.

He was atoning.

Atoning for the things he had said.

"Tu Kuan."

"Go ahead."

Chi Yu, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, hoarsely said, "Shouldn’t someone like me just die..."

"No, you’re just taking revenge on yourself, feeling conflicted inside." Tu Kuan answered sincerely.

As a doctor, watching his patient slowly approach death each day is an agony for Tu Kuan as well. It’s as if he’s personally sending him off.

"The water is very cold, you should get up." Tu Kuan then advised him to rise: "Don’t do anything foolish."

Chi Yu’s stiff hand slowly rose, the light streaming in through the window was both his hope for life and his despair, his pale wrist spotless, devoid of any scars.

Word by word, he spoke in despair: "That day, I also lay in the water like this, slashed my wrist. I clearly felt life slipping away from me, and I was inexplicably happy, because it meant release for me. I waited ten years, and I could finally see her..."

Ten years—Chi Yu’s secret.

No one knew.

Although Tu Kuan already knew Chi Yu’s past, hearing him describe in detail the scene on the day of his suicide still left him shocked.

"Her father committed suicide because of her mother. She’s most afraid of meeting someone like her father, and I became that kind of person..."

"I became what she despised the most."

"I waited ten arduous years... Then I attempted suicide, waiting for a return of someone who’s never coming back; it crushed me, I wanted to find her..."

Chi Yu was crying.

His pain and torment, Tu Kuan could not possibly understand.

But Tu Kuan could see Chi Yu’s despair.

Gu Yuan’s father committed suicide in front of her mother, and while Gu Yuan loathed her mother, she was also angry about her father’s humility in the face of love.

Gu Yuan had said she would never become a cold and ruthless woman like her mother, nor would she allow a man who loved her to abase himself to such depths.

However... Chi Yu had once attempted suicide for Gu Yuan.

This was the secret Chi Yu would never dare let Gu Yuan know.

...

After returning to the company, Gu Yuan hurriedly held a meeting.

After the meeting, Gu Yuan was too exhausted to speak. Lu Tinglou contacted her on WeChat, saying he would come over in the evening. Gu Yuan, needing rest, asked him to come another day.

The issue with the Huang Family Ancestral Hall affected the Gu Family to some extent.

If the Huang Family Ancestral Hall continued to incite negative public opinion and target the Gu Family, even a strong Gu Family would indeed be affected, so Gu Yuan had to quickly address the matter.
