Reborn Troops
Chapter 13: Heartbroken
Gu Kang, Gu Ming's father, was still dissatisfied and thought Zhou Wanwan was the culprit who wrongly accused his son. In order to calm himself down, he decided to settle the score with Zhou Wanwan.
On a cold winter day, Gu Kang found Zhou Wanwan. She had changed a lot. Gu Ming, who had just been released from prison, had brought her a lot of suffering, which made her look much duller and her eyes lost their former brilliance.
"Zhou Wanwan, do you know that you harmed my son?" Gu Kang asked angrily.
Zhou Wanwan lowered her head and remained silent. She knew that she had an unshirkable responsibility for Gu Ming's experience.
"You must give me an explanation!" Gu Kang's voice was full of anger and grievance.
Zhou Wanwan finally raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She trembled and said, "Gu Kang, I know I made a mistake, but I didn't realize the consequences would be so serious at the time. Please forgive me, and I hope to make up for my mistake."
Gu Kang hesitated for a moment, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated as he looked at his former friend. He knew how painful it was for a mother to lose her child.
"Okay, I forgive you. But you have to help me find the ** and clear my son's name." Gu Kang said in a firm tone.
Zhou Wanwan nodded, she understood that she had to be responsible for her actions. So she began to investigate the details of the case, looking for evidence that could clear Gu Ming's name. With her efforts, some doubts gradually surfaced, giving her hope.
However, just when Zhou Wanwan thought victory was just around the corner, an unexpected plot occurred. She received an anonymous letter that read: "Be careful, someone is plotting to harm you."
Zhou Wanwan's heart trembled, and she began to feel that the people around her had become untrustworthy. She tried to find out who was behind the letter, but found nothing.
Zhou Wanwan's investigation became increasingly difficult. However, she did not give up. She knew that only by finding the real murderer could she clear Gu Ming's name.
It was a cold winter day with heavy snow. Gu Kang stood in front of the window, looking at the outside world, with a burning anger in his heart. He hated his son Gu Ming, hated him for not being able to control his emotions and behavior, and hated him for being dissatisfied with his most precious daughter Zhou Wanwan.
Gu Ming is a lonely and rebellious teenager who doesn't like to socialize with others and always stays alone in his room. Zhou Wanwan, on the other hand, is a cheerful and lively girl who can always bring Gu Ming out of his lonely world and let him feel the warmth of the sun.
Gu Kang had tried many ways to change Gu Ming's character, but all failed. He began to feel that this problem was beyond his ability, so he had a terrible idea: to punish him by setting fire to Zhou Wanwan's house and letting Gu Ming experience the pain of losing his loved ones.
So, Gu Kang began to plan the fire. He secretly bought a large number of flammable items and found a professional to help. The preparations were done in an orderly manner, and Gu Kang was waiting for the moment to come with evil intentions.
However, when he was about to implement his plan, a voice suddenly rang out: "Gu Kang, are you crazy? How can you do this to your own child?" Gu Kang looked closely and found that it was his good friend Qin Chi.
Qin Chi is an upright and kind person. He has always been dissatisfied with Gu Kang's behavior, but he can't persuade him to give up this crazy plan. However, at this moment, he decided to stand up and save Zhou Wanwan and her brother Zhou Guo.
"Qin Chi, don't bother me!" Gu Kang said angrily, "This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you."
"Gu Kang, you've gone crazy!" Qin Chi said firmly, "You can't let innocent people pay the price, not to mention that they are your relatives!"
Gu Kang fell into deep thought. He knew Qin Chi was right, but he couldn't get rid of the anger and hatred in his heart. He rubbed his temples painfully and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I will listen to you, but you have to help me find other solutions."
Qin Chi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was just the beginning, and that the darkness in Gu Kang's heart would not disintegrate easily. He agreed to Gu Kang's request and began to work with him to develop a new plan.
Since then, Gu Kang and Qin Chi have started a difficult and long struggle, trying to cure Gu Ming's problems by changing his environment and mentality. They arranged various activities to let Gu Ming come into contact with different people and things, hoping to awaken the kindness and enthusiasm in his heart.
Although progress was slow, they never gave up. Gu Ming gradually began to participate. Although he was still taciturn, he was at least no longer as withdrawn and rebellious as before.
However, just when everything seemed to be getting better, Gu Kang's dark side resurfaced.
Qin Chi revealed his identity and warned Gu Ming that if he encountered Zhou Wanwan, he would not let her go.
"Gu Ming, I warn you, if you do anything improper to Zhou Wanwan, I will never let you go!" Qin Chi's voice was cold and resolute, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Gu Ming was so frightened by his expression and tone that he dared not say anything. He could only nod to show that he understood.
Qin Chi turned and left, his heart full of contradictions and helplessness. Originally, he was just an ordinary business elite, with huge wealth, but he felt lonely and empty in this magnificent world. He longed to find his true happiness, so he chose to hide his identity and come to Zhou Wanwan.
Zhou Wanwan has a smart mind and noble qualities, which makes Qin Chi fall in love with her. However, he knows that once his identity is revealed, Zhou Wanwan may feel pressured or even afraid because of his wealth and status.
Therefore, Qin Chi decided to protect his secret and not let Zhou Wanwan know his true identity. He used his wisdom and ability to silently pay by Zhou Wanwan's side, hoping to conquer her heart with sincerity and emotion.
However, as time went on, Qin Chi found himself increasingly unable to control his feelings for Zhou Wanwan. He fell in love with her, but was afraid of losing her because of his identity.
In the process of getting along with Zhou Wanwan, Qin Chi gradually discovered that she also had a little affection for him. They began to have more contacts and conversations, and Zhou Wanwan gradually opened her heart to him.
However, at this time, an unexpected event broke their peaceful life. One day, Zhou Wanwan suddenly received an anonymous letter, which contained all kinds of details about Qin Chi's true identity.
Zhou Wanwan was surprised and shocked. She couldn't accept this fact and felt that she had been deceived.
Qin Chi felt the crisis of his identity, and he knew that he had to explain himself clearly, otherwise Zhou Wanwan's trust in him would completely collapse. So he decided to face Zhou Wanwan and tell her everything.
On a quiet night, Qin Chi and Zhou Wanwan sat on the balcony, with tension and silence between them.
"Zhou Wanwan, I know you received that anonymous letter." Qin Chi's voice was full of apology and sincerity. "I have no choice but to tell you."
Zhou Wanwan raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and expectation.
"I am a wealthy CEO. I came to you under a pseudonym because I fell in love with you. I was afraid that my identity would scare you, so I chose to hide myself."
When Zhou Wanwan heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to hide it? Don't you think this is deceiving me?"
Qin Chi held her hand tightly, his eyes full of sincerity: "I didn't mean to deceive you. On the contrary, I have always chosen to conceal it in order to protect you. I know that my identity may bring you pressure and trouble, but I really treat you well, and I am willing to protect you with all I have."
Zhou Wanwan felt Qin Chi's sincerity and determination, and she began to think about her own feelings.
The dialogues and exchanges between the characters show their inner conflicts and struggles. Qin Chi moved Zhou Wanwan with his actions and emotions, and Zhou Wanwan also re-examined her feelings for Qin Chi after the meeting.
Qin Chi and Zhou Wanwan's conversation continued on the balcony, and their moods became more nervous and expectant.
"Qin Chi, why did you hide such an important fact from me?" There was a hint of resentment and sadness in Zhou Wanwan's voice.
Qin Chi took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner excitement. "Zhou Wanwan, I know I was wrong. But I just wanted to protect you and prevent you from being troubled by my identity."
Zhou Wanwan's tears began to flow, and her voice trembled a little, "But don't you think it's selfish to do this? You didn't give me the right to choose."
Qin Chi held her hand tightly, his tone full of apology, "I know I was wrong, I didn't give you enough trust and respect. But please believe me, my feelings are real, and I will use all I have to make up for my mistakes."
Zhou Wanwan looked at the man in front of her, she could feel his sincerity and inner struggle. She knew that she couldn't deny her feelings for him, but she still needed time to accept this fact.
"Qin Chi, I need some time to think and calm down." Zhou Wanwan said softly, "I don't want to make the wrong decision because of my impulse."
Qin Chi nodded. He understood Zhou Wanwan's feelings and he knew that he had to give her enough space and time to accept this fact.
After Zhou Wanwan got rid of Gu Ming, she continued to sell things on the street in a depressed mood. This decision made her feel extremely disappointed and she felt that she was destined to live a mediocre life for the rest of her life. However, fate gave her an unexpected opportunity on a sunny morning.
That day, when Zhou Wanwan was busy setting up her snack stand, an uncle who fried stinky tofu came over. He was wearing a greasy work suit, a blue apron tied around his waist, and holding a long bamboo stick with pieces of tempting golden stinky tofu. His stall was full of diners waiting to taste it, and his business was very prosperous.
Zhou Wanwan was attracted by this scene and walked over curiously. "Uncle, your business is booming!" She greeted the uncle.
The uncle raised his head with a smile, and when he saw Zhou Wanwan, he said kindly, "Little girl, do you want to try my stinky tofu? I guarantee you will love it!"
Zhou Wanwan was a little hesitant, but looking at the diners waiting in line, she felt an impulse in her heart. Perhaps, this was her chance to change her fate.
She nodded, and the uncle handed her a piece of fried stinky tofu. Zhou Wanwan picked up the bamboo stick and took a bite carefully. Suddenly, a rich aroma filled her mouth, making her feel intoxicated. The stinky tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an excellent taste, it was simply the ultimate in deliciousness.
"It's so delicious!" Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but exclaimed.
The uncle smiled with satisfaction and said, "In fact, the secret of stinky tofu lies in the selection of ingredients and the temperature of frying. If you are interested, I can teach you."
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, this was exactly the opportunity she had been longing for. She decided to learn how to fry stinky tofu from the uncle, and hoped that with his help, she could open her own snack stand and escape her mediocre fate.
From that day on, Zhou Wanwan and the uncle became close friends. The uncle taught her the technique of frying stinky tofu, how to select fresh tofu and ingredients, and the key to the temperature when frying. Zhou Wanwan learned humbly, kept trying, and soon mastered the essence of frying stinky tofu.
As time went by, Zhou Wanwan's stall became more and more popular. Her stinky tofu has a unique taste and attracts more and more diners. People often line up in front of her stall, waiting to taste her food.
However, fate is not all smooth sailing. Just when Zhou Wanwan's business reached its peak, an unexpected incident happened.
One day, a seemingly ordinary diner came to Zhou Wanwan's stall. He was wearing a black suit and black sunglasses, mysterious and indifferent. He ordered a plate of stinky tofu and walked straight into the crowd.
After a while, Zhou Wanwan suddenly heard a loud noise from the crowd. She ran over quickly, only to see that the diner wearing sunglasses had disappeared, and the crowd was in chaos.
"What exactly happened?" Zhou Wanwan was full of worry.
She asked around and found out that the mysterious diner had suddenly detonated the stinky tofu he had ordered. Although no one was injured, the scene was a mess and Zhou Wanwan's stall was destroyed beyond recognition.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the broken stall angrily, feeling helpless. The business she had worked so hard to run was destroyed, and everything was back to square one.
However, this unexpected incident did not discourage Zhou Wanwan. On the contrary, it inspired her to be more determined. She decided not to give up easily and start over again...
Zhou Wanwan stood in front of the stall, staring at the dilapidated stall with a firm gaze. A strong determination surged in her heart. She wanted to start over and rebuild her dream.
She pushed aside a pile of broken wood boards beside the stall and began to sort out the remaining ingredients and utensils. Although everything looked messy, she believed that as long as she worked hard again, she would be able to rebuild her own snack stand.
Just as Zhou Wanwan was about to start over, a strange voice broke the silence. "Little girl, do you need help?" A middle-aged man came over, wearing simple clothes and with a kind smile on his face.
Zhou Wanwan looked up at the stranger, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart. "Did you deliberately explode my stinky tofu?" she asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “No, I just happened to pass by and saw what happened. I’m a repairman, and I can help you repair your stall if you need it.”
