Chapter 86: No Longer Here

The Gu parents privately thought to themselves that a gentle and patient man would be most suitable for their daughter . Shao Chong seemed to fit those characteristics .

Just then, Gu Jin walked out of the kitchen while wiping her hands dry .

“Mr . Shao is mistaken,” she had a slight smile as she slowly walked towards the table . “Mr . Shao isn’t a close friend of mine, he’s actually my ex-boyfriend . ”

Gu Jin’s words struck like a thunderstorm, immediately creating an uncomfortable tension amongst the Gu family .

Since when did my daughter/sister get a boyfriend? Why didn’t I know about it?

“Aunt and uncle, I’m sorry,” Shao Chong said as he stood up . He calmly added: “There are some misunderstandings between me and Little Jin–”

“There isn’t a single misunderstanding,” Gu Jin raised her voice and interrupted . “We already broke up after our last discussion . There isn’t anything to misunderstand after that . ”

“Little Jin, I admit that I’ve wronged you before,” Shao Chong shook his head helplessly and said with a pleading voice, “But you can always give me a chance to make up for it . ”

“You’ve made a mistake and you want to make up for it,” Gu Jin’s head hung low as she spoke . She then glanced up and replied in an indifferent voice, “Unfortunately, the person you seek, the one who can give you a second chance is no longer here . ”

“What do you mean?” Shao Chong felt suffocated by her inexplicable words . “Explain it to me . ”

“Mr . Shao,” Gu Jin said with a cold smile, without giving him an explanation to her earlier words . “My boyfriend won’t be happy if he finds out that you’ve come to meet my parents in private . ”

Her current boyfriend hasn’t had the chance to pay a visit yet . Why does she need an ex-boyfriend to come over? There’s no point in going back to eat chewed gra.s.s .

In other words, scram!

“Little Jin, I don’t know how you met Mu Mingcheng, but he’s not for you . ” Shao Chong recalled the couple leaving hand in hand at the banquet . His heart was in such despair that he forgot to continue questioning her about the meaning behind her earlier words .

“He’s better than you in every way . ” Gu Jin strode back to the entrance and opened the door . She smiled faintly and said, “It’s a bit late for you to be here Mr . Shao . I don’t want the news to spread to all over the capitol tomorrow morning, saying that the Shao family’s heir forcibly tried to enter into our home . ”

“Little Jin, I hope you reconsider the things I’ve said,” Shao Chong sighed . He said with a whisper, “I’ll be waiting for you, all the time . ”

“I ended so miserably in a messed up life; I don’t want to have anything to do with you at all,” Gu Jin snapped back with a sneer . “So can you stop being so disgusting by pretending to be a saint?”

Seeing Shao Chong’s persistent gaze, Gu Jin rolled her eyes in annoyance . Can’t he understand human words?

After chasing the man away with his gifts, Gu Jin looked back at her family with a complicated expression .

“Little Jin,” Li Mingxia said . As she looked up at her daughter, she felt that she had failed as a mother; she never realized that her little girl had already grown up into a mature woman . Li Mingxia counseled with great emphasis, “Since you’ve grown up, we trust that you can handle your emotional life well . Just remember to protect yourself . ”

Gu Jin nodded .

As the Gu parents watched their daughter’s receding back upstairs, they couldn’t express the melancholic feelings they had just now . It’s as if the treasure they once held in their palms was now going to be in someone else’s hands . All they can do is hope that their daughter won’t suffer in the future .
