Chapter 600 - Teased Her

Song Yunxuan spent the night in the Rose Garden, but she couldn’t fall asleep through the night.

After closing her eyes, she was lost in thought.

She thought of Gu Changge’s and Song Yunxuan’s childhoods.

Song Yunxuan turned over in bed. Seeing that it was getting light outside, Song Yunxuan closed her eyes wearily.

Everyone was afraid of death, and Song Yunxuan was no exception.

It was not because Song Yunxuan felt reluctant to leave the world, but because she knew that her death was inevitable and approaching, which made her frustrated and upset.

When she was Gu Changge, her life after the amputation was her darkest period.

At that time, when she was lying in bed and listening to the medical apparatus working, she would rather crush her teeth than die.

Because she conceived a profound hatred that was as deep as the sea.

The hatred in her mind was like a fire that could not be extinguished. It burnt her heart, making her unwilling to draw her last breath.

Until Shao Tianze killed her with his hands.

And then she died.

Now she took revenge on Shao Tianze and let him pay the price step by step.

She was determined to let Shao Tianze suffer all that she had gone through.

But her life had entered the countdown.

She pressed her lips, closing her eyes.

Scenes of the past recurred to her.

It was getting light outside, so Song Yunxuan could feel that day was breaking even though she closed her eyes.

However, she didn’t want to open her eyes now.

...

After returning to her ward, Gu Changle tossed and turned restlessly, unable to sleep.

Even though Shao Tianze sent her back in person, he didn’t accompany her or stay with her for the night as he always did.

Instead, he left the ward after watching her fall asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, there was no Shao Tianze in the ward. She could only see the nurses who took care of her and the doctors that came on their daily rounds.

There was no one around her that she could trust.

But Gu Yi and Miaomiao were still the thorns in her flesh.

She had told Shao Tianze before that she would treat Yi and Miaomiao well as long as the two kids returned to the Shao Family.

At that time, Shao Tianze believed her.

But as she had deceived him again and again, Shao Tianze would not believe her if she made such a promise one more time, no matter how much he loved her.

In the ward, Gu Changle frowned, grasped the sheet, and then loosened her grip.

After such a while, she swung around, picked up the phone behind her, and called Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze didn’t answer the phone the first time.

Nor did he answer it the second time.

Then Gu Changle went on calling him, but Shao Tianze still did not answer the phone for the third, fourth or fifth time.

She felt a bit unsettled. Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Changle exclaimed to the nurse who took care of her ecstatically, “Open the door!”

Hearing that, the nurse immediately went to open the door.

However, Gu Changle felt down as soon as the door opened.

The one standing at the door was not Shao Tianze but Shao Xue.

She frowned and looked at Shao Xue with displeasure, asking, “What are you doing here?”

Shao Xue smiled gently, replying, “Recently, my elder brother is too bound up in his work to have time for you. Thus he called and asked me to accompany you.”

Shao Xue’s words displeased Gu Changle.

Gu Changle didn’t want to see Shao Xue at all, so how could she want Shao Xue to accompany her?

Besides, Gu Changle felt that Shao Xue didn’t come here to lift her spirits on seeing the smile on her face.

On the contrary, it seemed that Shao Xue came here to laugh at her.

Gu Changle lowered her eyes and said coldly, “If Tianze really cares about me, he should come and accompany me himself. What’s the point of sending you here?”

“No matter what, my elder brother has to run the Shao enterprise. Thus he doesn’t have much spare time.”

Hearing Shao Xue’s lukewarm concern, Gu Changle suddenly curled up her lips coldly, saying, “Shao Xue, there’s no one else here. How about talking openly?”

Hearing that, Shao Xue slightly frowned, but her knitted brows became smooth soon. She asked Gu Changle, “I’m here to see you. What do you want to say to me, Sister Changle?”

Gu Changle’s eyes flicked round Shao Xue’s face coldly. Then she said, “I know you don’t want to accompany me at all. But you have to put on a show for Shao Tianze to see, so you came to accompany me, right?”

Though it was right, Shao Xue didn’t want to admit it so easily. So she just smiled and replied in bewilderment, “What are you talking about, Sister Changle? I live in the Shao Family just like you do, and you are my sister-in-law. How could I just put on a show?”

Seeing that Shao Xue was unwilling to admit it, Gu Changle narrowed her eyes, saying, “Since you consider me as your family, do you also consider my sister’s two kids as your family?”

Shao Xue smiled, replying, “That’s for sure. Yi and Miaomiao are not only your sister, Changge’s children, but also my elder brother’s children. I’m their aunt, so I surely consider them as my family.”

“Yi and Miaomiao are also my families, right?”

Hearing Gu Changle’s strange question, Shao Xue smiled, “Of course.”

“So...” Gu Changle paused and then spoke her mind to Shao Xue, looking into her eyes, “As a family, it’s reasonable for me to miss them, right?”

Shao Xue nodded, replying, “It’s more than reasonable. It’s human nature for you to miss them.”

Gu Changle was satisfied with Shao Xue’s reply.

But Gu Changle immediately asked Shao Xue again after hearing Shao Xue’s reply, “Since you say it’s human nature for families to miss each other, so should I, Yi and Miaomiao’s aunt, see them often to allay my worries?”

Hearing that, Shao Xue could understand what Gu Changle was planning to do.

“So, do you want to see Yi and Miaomiao now?”

Gu Changle nodded, replying, “Yes. Bring them to me.”

Gu Changle minced her words in order to see Yi and Miaomiao.

Actually, it was not hard.

However, Shao Xue would never let Gu Changle do it.

Though Shao Xue followed Gu Changle’s words, it was impossible for her to indulge her wish.

Hearing Gu Changle’s request, Shao Xue remained silent for a moment. She did not immediately agree to do it.

Seeing that Shao Xue was hesitating, Gu Changle said with displeasure, “Problem? Didn’t you just promise me that you would bring Yi and Miaomiao here to meet me?”

Shao Xue looked at Gu Changle and wasn’t going to eat her words.

She said, appearing a bit embarrassed, “Though I’ve agreed, my elder brother hasn’t yet.”

Since Gu Changle mentioned it to Shao Xue today, she hoped that she could see Yi and Miaomiao without reference to Shao Tianze.

But out of her expectation, Shao Xue was not taken in at all.

Seeing that Gu Changle’s face clouded, Shao Xue felt delighted.

Shao Xue could agree with Gu Changle on anything. But as long as Shao Tianze disagreed, the promises would be meaningless.

Gu Changle knitted her brows, saying, “You only need to bring Yi and Miaomiao to me behind Shao Tianze’s back. I just miss them very much.”

Shao Xue did not believe Gu Changle’s nonsense.

And she still appeared to be embarrassed, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that my elder brother had told me that he was worried that Yi and Miaomiao might disturb you as you were recuperating. So even if you want to meet them, I have to tell him in advance.”

Hearing Shao Xue’s lukewarm words, Gu Changle felt she was about to explode.

Gu Changle thought she had brainwashed Shao Xue, but it turned out that she tried in vain to persuade Shao Xue to bring the two kids to her.

How hateful!

Shao Xue felt that she had spent enough time in Gu Changle’s ward, which was enough to make Shao Tianze believe that she had come to visit Gu Changle.

So she got up and excused herself, saying, “I’m very sorry that I can’t help you, but I can talk it over with my elder brother. Perhaps he will visit you with Yi and Miaomiao. I’m going to see my elder brother now.”

Gu Changle felt her blood boiled, and she was furious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing that Shao Xue was leaving, Gu Changle buttonholed her, “Wait.”

Hearing that, Shao Xue turned her head, looking at Gu Changle and asking, “Is there anything else you need me to do, Sister Changle?”

“No.”

How could Gu Changle have anything else to ask Shao Xue to do?

And even if there had been, she would not have asked her.

“OK. Then I’m off.”

“Don’t tell Shao Tianze about it.”

Shao Xue felt strange and asked Gu Changle, “Don’t you miss Yi and Miaomiao? Let me tell my elder brother. If he is available, he will surely take the two kids to see you.”

With this, Shao Xue added smilingly, “After all, he cares a lot about you.”

On the surface, the words meant that Shao Tianze was concerned about Gu Changle.

However, it was easy to tell that Shao Xue’s words were dripping with sarcasm. She was saying that Gu Changle was much less important than Yi and Miaomiao in Shao Tianze’s heart.

Gu Changle was not stupid. She immediately learned the meaning of what Shao Xue said.

Gu Changle instantly wanted to rage against Shao Xue. But Shao Xue directly pulled the door open without saying anything else as she sensed that Gu Changle was about to blow up, “Take care of yourself. See you.”

Shao Xue left too quickly. Even though Gu Changle still wanted to vent her anger on Shao Xue, she could do nothing since Shao Xue had left.

She could only cover her chest with her hands and calmed herself down.

Now there had been a rift between Shao Tianze and Gu Changle, and they didn’t love each other so much like before.

Even Shao Xue scorned to put on a show with her. Everything seemed to go downhill now.
