When Gu Xinzhou arrived, she still harbored a sliver of fantasy.
Could it be that, because of this, Song Zhen would take responsibility for her?
Now it seemed, she was terribly mistaken.
She smiled stubbornly, tears glistening in her eyes, "I don't need it! The hurt you've caused me can't be compensated with money!"
She had never confessed her feelings to him.
He had always thought her feelings toward him were those of a sister to her brother.
This had also been Gu Xinzhou's intention over the years.
A bastard like her could never enter the Song Family and become the mistress.
Staring at the box of medicine, her brow furrowed.
Finally, she extended her small hand, picked it up, and took a look.
Morning-after pills.
Gu Xinzhou recoiled as if electrocuted, quickly throwing the pills away.
She stood up, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face, "Why can't you marry me?"
Song Zhen looked shocked.
He was stunned for a while before he got up to comfort her, "Zhouzhou, I love your sister.
There is no love between us!
Only people who are in love should get married because marriage is a sacred thing.
Zhouzhou, you are so wonderful, even more beautiful than your sister, and many boys will like you in the future!"
Gu Xinzhou fiercely wiped her tears, "I am prettier than my sister, why do you like her and not me?"
Song Zhen was silent.
In his youth, the girl's kindness and warmth had captured him.
Without her support and encouragement at that time, he could never have endured to the present.
However, he had promised her that he would forever bury that period and not mention it to anyone.
Song Zhen bowed deeply to Gu Xinzhou, "Zhouzhou, I'm sorry.
I will be your brother and always protect you.
But I can't marry you.
We are not in love, and marriage would inevitably be a mistake and unhappy.
I must be responsible for my own life and for yours too!
Apart from Xinfeng, I can never be romantically involved with any other woman, nor marry any other woman!"
Gu Xinzhou picked up a check, tore it up, and threw it in his face, then dug the pills out of their packaging and threw them at him as well!
"I never want to see you again!"
Gu Xinzhou ran away crying.
Song Zhen stared at the chaotic scene in front of him, sighing with self-reproach.
It was all his fault.
Drunk and disorderly.
He swore he would never drink again!
Previously, Gu Xinzhou had been recommended by the department head as an international exchange student at Media University to study in Italy for four years.
Because she couldn't bear to leave Song Zhen, she had not agreed.
Now, her dreams were shattered, her everything was broken.
Crying, she ran to the department head to ask if the slot she had refused last week was still available.
The department head immediately smiled and said, "Of course, there is, as long as you want it, it's yours!"
Gu Xinzhou's father, Gu Yibo, loved her very dearly, much more than he did Gu Xinfei.
So, when Gu Xinzhou herself got admitted to this university, to ensure that his daughter could graduate smoothly and achieve better results, Gu Yibo donated two laboratory buildings to the school.
Not to mention Gu Xinzhou now needing last week's slot, even if she wanted the only slot in the whole school, once she spoke up, it would undoubtedly be hers.
Gu Xinzhou called her father, firmly telling him about this matter.
She was even crying as she spoke.
The hurt Song Zhen had caused her was nearly destructive, so intense that she couldn't bear it anymore.
She wanted to escape from here.
Only in a place without Song Zhen could she breathe normally and continue to live.
