From school uniform to wedding dress, but I don't want to marry you anymore

Chapter 645 Mom will never leave you again

"you……"

A surge of anger welled up in Ge Jing's chest.

It was so congested that she could barely breathe.

When this man was successful and wealthy, he never thought about her and his mother.

Now he's homeless and has no food, so he shamelessly comes to ask for help again!

What do they mean to him?

Is it a garbage dump?

Anger and long-suppressed grievances burst forth instantly.

Ge Jing ripped off her scarf and mask.

She laid bare her face, covered in grotesque burns, in the dim light.

"You want me to take responsibility for you?"

Ge Jing's voice trembled slightly with emotion, "Look at me carefully! In my current state, who can I take responsibility for? I can barely take care of my own mother! You have hands and feet, why are you coming to me? Go find your illegitimate child, go find your mistress!"

"You, your face..."

Even as her biological father, Ge Bangguo couldn't help but gasp when he saw the horrific scar on Ge Jing's face.

He instinctively took a step back, then realized that it wasn't a good idea.

Ge Bangguo quickly composed himself, adopting an anxious and concerned expression. "Jingjing, your face... how did your face get like this? Who did this? Tell Daddy, and Daddy will definitely get revenge for you!"

Ge Jing's sneer grew louder, filled with endless mockery: "Avenge me? Fine, then let me tell you, it was the Gu Group that did it. Go ahead! Go avenge me!"

"Gu...Gu family?"

Ge Bangguo seemed to have been choked, and his voice stopped abruptly.

His eyes darted around nervously a few times, then suddenly something occurred to him, and a greedy glint appeared in his eyes. "Then...they did this to you, they should have compensated you, right? How much did they pay? Where's the money? Is it in your hands? Jingjing, it's not safe for you to keep it alone, you're easily scammed. Why don't you give this money to Dad, Dad will manage it for you!"

"money?"

At that moment, Ge Jing felt as if her heart had fallen into an icy abyss.

The bone-chilling cold made her tremble uncontrollably.

Having already been trampled to this point by fate, her biological father only cared about the possible compensation.

She looked at Ge Bangguo with empty eyes. "I didn't ask for any compensation. Not a single penny. You can leave now; there's no money here for you."

"impossible!"

Ge Bangguo simply didn't believe it. "Gu's is such a big company. If they've done this to you, why wouldn't they pay you? Jingjing, don't lie to your father. Your father is the closest person to you. He wouldn't hurt you..."

"roll!"

Ge Jing could no longer bear it. Pointing to the door, her voice hoarse, she said, "I told you to get out, did you hear me?"

When Ge Bangguo realized that his gentle approach wasn't working, he steeled himself and resorted to shameless tactics.

He plopped down on the ground, not caring whether he would disturb the still unconscious Wen Peizhen, and started yelling: "Ge Jing, let me tell you, it's the same thing! I'm your father, so you have to support me! If you have money, you have to give it to me! And your mother, we're not divorced yet! She's my wife, so she has to support me too!"

Just then, a weak yet unwavering voice came from the hospital bed: "Ge Bangguo... I've cut all ties with you long ago! You beast, you ruined me and dragged our daughter down with you! Why don't you just die?! I... I will never forgive you, and I will never give you a single penny!"

Ge Jing, on the verge of collapse, suddenly looked up.

The mother on the sickbed had opened her eyes at some point.

Although she looked sickly, her eyes shone brightly.

She was staring intently at Ge Bangguo on the ground, her chest heaving slightly with excitement.

"Mom! You're awake!"

Ge Jing was both surprised and delighted. She rushed to the bedside and carefully supported Wen Peizhen, saying, "Please don't be angry. Your health is important. You can't get excited after just waking up..."

Wen Peizhen grabbed her hand in return, her voice unusually firm despite her weakness: "I'm fine... Jingjing, go... go call security and kick this scumbag out!"

Seeing her mother's resolute attitude, Ge Jing immediately stood up and pretended to call security.

"You, you two mother and daughter! When did you become so heartless!"

Seeing that he could not gain any advantage, Ge Bangguo hesitated.

If we stay any longer, we'll probably get kicked out by security.

After that, they couldn't even get through the door.

He could only sullenly get up, dust himself off, and said sarcastically, "You heartless bastards, just you wait!"

After saying that, Ge Bangguo turned and left dejectedly.

The ward door slammed shut.

It isolated me from all the noise outside, and also seemed to temporarily isolate me from those suffocating entanglements.

The room fell silent, with only the rhythmic ticking of the instruments remaining.

Ge Jing rushed back to the bedside, nervously grasped Wen Peizhen's hand, and asked in a tearful voice, "Mom, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Wen Peizhen gently shook her head, her gaze falling tenderly on her daughter's face, which was hidden by a scarf. Her voice was tired but gentle: "Mom is fine... don't worry."

Seeing her mother's weak yet spirited appearance, Ge Jing finally broke down in tears.

She leaned down, burying her face in her mother's arms, her shoulders heaving violently: "Mom, it's my fault... I was so thoughtless, always making you angry. Please don't do anything foolish again, okay? Please, I'll change my temper, try to live a good life, and take good care of you. Please don't leave me... You're all I have..."

Hearing her daughter's suppressed sobs, Wen Peizhen's eyes quickly reddened as well.

She reached out her withered hand and gently stroked Ge Jing's hair again and again, her eyes becoming incredibly clear at that moment.

"Jingjing, don't cry..."

Wen Peizhen's voice was soft, yet it carried a strength born of relief. "During the time I was in a coma, I had a very long dream... In the dream, after I left, you were all alone, suffering so much injustice and being bullied by so many people. I couldn't do anything about it, I could only watch helplessly. At that time, my heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife."

The woman held her daughter's hand tightly, her voice firm, "Jingjing, I used to think that as long as I left, I wouldn't be a burden to you and would allow you to have a better life. But this time, Mom has thought it through. Mom promises you, I will never do anything foolish again. I will live well... and live well together with my daughter!"

"mom……"

Ge Jing could no longer hold back.

The fear, grievances, and hardships that had been building up for far too long were released in a heart-wrenching cry.

Like a child who had been lost for a long time and finally returned home, she nestled in her mother's arms and burst into tears.

Outside the window, the sun had already set sometime earlier.

Only a faint orange-red afterimage remained on the horizon.

As dusk deepened, the grey-blue light of the sky shone through the window, quietly falling on the mother and daughter who were embracing and weeping, casting their shadows long and thin.
