Sir, don't be too bad

"Of course it has something to do with it." Gu Chen took a sip of water and looked up at Xia Yiwan: "Because it was me who killed him—Mom!"

"..."

Xia Yiwan looked at the gentle and elegant man in front of her in shock.

She thought that it might be because Si Mo hated Gu Chen because he stole her father's love, or it might be because Gu Chen's mother ruined the relationship between her parents.

But she never thought that a human life would be involved between Gu Chen and Simo.

She suddenly remembered what Gu Chen said when he went abroad three years ago: He and Simo have a deep blood feud.

After staring blankly at Gu Chen for a while, Xia Yiwan finally found her own voice: "What's going on?"

How did such a gentle person like Gu Chen kill Simo's mother?

Gu Chen glanced at Yan Xiao and didn't speak.

Yan Xiao immediately stood up consciously: "I'll wait for you outside."

Xia Yiwan nodded, and Yan Xiao left.

Gu Chen ordered a dozen wines, drank a bottle in one gulp, and then looked at Xia Yiwan.

"If I say, I didn't mean to kill Aunt Qing, would you believe me?"

It was the second time she had heard the name Aunt Qing.

The last time was at the gate of Li Bo's private kitchen, when Gu Chen was talking to his mother and mentioned Aunt Qing.

Only now did she know that Aunt Qing was referring to Simo's mother.

Thinking in her heart, Xia Yiwan nodded: "I believe in you." Xia Yiwan said softly.

Gu Chen had helped her a lot, she didn't believe that such a kind person would do such a vicious thing.

Amidst the loud music, the two lines of tears that slipped from the corners of Gu Chen's eyes were quickly wiped away.

"Thank you, girl." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and held her hand on the table, his eyes were warm: "Thank you for believing in me."

Back then, even his mother thought he did it on purpose, but Xia Yiwan said without the slightest hesitation that she believed him.

Countless times in his dreams, he struggled in pain, wanting to go back to the moment when things happened back then.

But in the end, he could only wake up from his dream crying.

Xia Yiwan wanted to withdraw her hand, but Gu Chen held it tightly, and she was worried that it would irritate Gu Chen, so she had to divert Gu Chen's attention: "You didn't mean it, how did Si Mo's mother die?"

Gu Chen paused when he heard the words, and then there was a trace of pain in his eyes: "I don't know, everything happened too fast, and when I realized it, Aunt Qing was already dying..."

Gu Chen let go of Xia Yiwan while talking, and picked up the wine glass again.

Xia Yiwan watched silently without stopping.

Being gentle and refined should only be part of Gu Chen's performance.

"Aunt Qing loves me very much. In my heart, she is actually my mother, but she died because of me..."

Gu Chen slowly opened his mouth, and downed the wine one cup after another.

"I'm a sinner. My mother ruined Simo's parents' relationship, and I killed his mother..."

Xia Yiwan looked at him quietly, with complicated emotions, not sure if it was pity or what.

She never knew that Gu Chen, who had a gentle appearance, actually had such a painful heart.

And his pain was covered up under the tender skin.

"You know, actually, I've always fantasized that one day Simo...kills me, and then I won't, won't be in such pain..."

Gu Chen babbled, then slumped on the table with his head tilted.

"Senior Brother Gu!" Xia Yiwan shook him.

He hasn't said anything about what happened back then.
