Chapter 235 Begging Him While Crying
Seeing this, the little one's eyes immediately filled with confusion. "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Gu Zhiyao remained silent, repeatedly stroking his face and hands, tears continuing to stream down her face.
Chenchen fell silent, while He Yi stood quietly to the side, his heart surging with emotions that only he himself could understand.
After a while, Gu Zhiyao finally stopped crying, pulled the little guy to sit on the sofa, and stared at him intently. Suddenly, she looked up at He Yi and said, "Could you leave for a bit? Come back in about an hour. Don't worry, even if I really wanted to take him away, I wouldn't do it now!"
Hearing her say that, He Yi frowned, a nameless displeasure rising in his heart.
Gu Zhiyao remained expressionless and continued to urge them to leave.
He Yi kept a straight face, and after a while, he turned and left!
Gu Zhiyao began to chat with the little guy to her heart's content.
"Le...Chenchen, you just said that I took care of you when you were little?" Gu Zhiyao was stunned when the little guy mentioned this.
"Yes, Dad told me that. He also said that you love me very much and that I should treat you like my mother. Every time Dad takes me to pay respects to you, he makes me offer you wine and talk to you," the little guy said innocently.
Gu Zhiyao's heart surged with emotion once again.
I had heard from the dean's mother that He Yi often took Lele to pay respects to her, and she thought he was trying to ease his conscience, but I never expected that he would introduce himself to his son like this.
Why did he do that?
Gu Zhiyao's thoughts became somewhat chaotic. It wasn't until Chenchen called her that she calmed down a little and asked the little guy, "Chenchen, is your mother... good to you?"
“It’s great. She loves me very much and often takes me out to play. It’s just that recently…” The little one thought for a moment and then said resolutely, “Mom is sick and her temperament has become strange. Sometimes she can’t control herself and is very mean to me. She even hits me. Last time, it was because she smashed my head with a vase that my great-grandmother had to take me away. But I know that’s why she’s like this because she’s sick. I don’t blame her. Every day I just hope that she gets better soon so that we can live happily like before.”
Hearing these words, Gu Zhiyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Over the years, she had always worried that Chenchen would be led astray or abused, but from his words and actions, she could tell that he was a very well-mannered, gentle, and considerate child. It could be said that he was raised very well!
This is something to be happy about, but at the same time Gu Zhiyao felt uneasy and hesitant. Chenchen's feelings for Zheng Yuanxi are so deep, which means that it will be very difficult for her to win back custody of Chenchen through a lawsuit. One of the bases for the court's judgment is the child's wishes.
She was afraid that Chenchen would choose Zheng Yuanxi!
The thought of this tore at her heart, and she deeply regretted not taking Chenchen back sooner, before Chenchen was still a baby and had developed feelings for anyone!
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Chenchen noticed Gu Zhiyao's unusual behavior and called out.
Gu Zhiyao stared at him, tears welling up instantly.
Chenchen was even more surprised. While continuing to ask her what happened, he raised his hand to help wipe away her tears.
Gu Zhiyao couldn't hold back any longer and hugged the little one tightly, crying even harder!
Chenchen was at a loss, so she quietly let her hug her.
After a while, He Yi came in. Gu Zhiyao called He Yi to the balcony and said bluntly, "What do you want from me to give Chenchen back? I beg you to give him back to me. He is my son whom I gave birth to with great difficulty. Throughout my pregnancy, I felt his presence at all times. I can't live without him. So please give him back to me, He Yi, I beg you!"
He Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at her speechlessly.
Gu Zhiyao continued, choking back tears, "When I learned that you were going to give the child to Zheng Yuanxi to raise, do you know how much my heart ached? What made me despair and break down was not your heartlessness towards me, but the fact that my own flesh and blood was leaving me. I kept thinking about how I could take him with me, but I simply couldn't do it at the time. So, I didn't plan this fake death as you said. I was really framed. Brother Xiao Lin faked my death to protect my life. I woke up several days after giving birth and only then did I learn the whole truth."
Later, I tried every means to become stronger, even embarking on that arduous path. You ask if I obtained all this by selling my body? Yes, for a woman with no background, in a place full of prejudice and discrimination, taking such a path was simply impossible. But thankfully, Brother Xiao Lin helped me. He gave me endless support, allowing me to finally reach my goal. For the past five years, my motivation for living has been to bring my son back to my side. He Yi, please, for my pitiful state, give my son back to me! I'll kneel before you! He Yi, I beg you!
With a thud, Gu Zhiyao actually knelt down in front of He Yi and even kowtowed.
He Yi was utterly stunned!
Then, he shouted sharply, "Gu Zhiyao, what are you doing? Get up! Who told you to do this? What are you doing...?"
His tone was clearly filled with intense anger, so he simply pulled her up and continued to scold, "Are you stupid? Who asked you to kneel down and kowtow to me? Why don't you just cut yourself!"
Seeing the red mark immediately imprinted on her fair forehead, He Yi became even more annoyed. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but just before touching it, he suddenly pulled it back and glared at her coldly.
Gu Zhiyao stared at him intently, then said seriously, "If I stab myself in the back, will you really give the child back to me? Sure, He Yi, I'll grant your wish..."
"You..." He Yi felt that if he stood there with her for a few more seconds, his blood vessels might burst.
"He Yi, give my son back to me! He's my child! Do you know how I've survived these past five years? What has kept me going? I couldn't have lived without Lele! If you want a child, find another woman to have one for you! Let those women who are willing to have children for you! It would be so easy for you! Why do you insist on having my son? He's my son! Are you determined to kill me? I've already died once. I'm filled with hatred for Zheng Yuanxi, but right now, all I want is for you to give my son back to me. I can forget all that past and all that hatred. So, give my son back to me! Give my son back to me, He Yi!" Gu Zhiyao burst into tears at the end.
