Chapter 124 She didn't want to drag him down
What Yan Wei said had a huge impact on Gu Chenyan. He inserted his fingers into his hair and buried his head in his knees dejectedly.
Although this memory happened a long time ago and many details have gradually become blurred with the passage of time, but in the extremely confused emotions at this moment, Gu Chenyan's thinking unexpectedly became clear.
He began to recall the details of the past.
Everyone only knows that he is the glorious Mr. Gu, but no one knows how he climbed to his current position.
When he was very young, his father cheated on him and kicked him and his already frail mother out of the house.
The mother had been a full-time housewife for a long time and had lost her ability to work. Suddenly, she fell to the bottom of society and could only rely on odd jobs to support her and her child.
His cruel father never gave any financial help from beginning to end, and even allowed the mistress to mentally mock and insult his mother.
Under this double blow, when he was 16 years old, his mother's health completely collapsed. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, he found that she had already suffered from cancer and the cancer cells in her body were in a stage of rapid spread.
The treatment will cost a lot of money and may not save my mother's life.
Although there was little hope, Gu Chenyan refused to give up. As long as the doctor did not make a final judgment, everything would still be in time.
In order to earn money for his mother's medical treatment, Gu Chenyan resolutely dropped out of school, worked several odd jobs a day, lived frugally, and only dared to eat steamed buns every day to fill his stomach.
But compared with the high cost of treatment, the money earned from odd jobs is destined to be just a drop in the bucket.
The hospital’s payment collection notice was like a fatal bomb hanging over my head at all times.
He kept begging the doctor to give him more time, but the hospital was not a charity.
After so many times, the attending physician became numb and informed him expressionlessly the last time that if he could not pay the outstanding debt within two days, the hospital would stop all treatment.
His mother heard his conversation with the doctor and didn't want to drag him down, so she picked up a fruit knife from the cabinet and was about to commit suicide by cutting her wrists. Fortunately, he found her in time and saved her.
Ever since the day he was kicked out of the house by his father, he cried bitterly and never shed a tear no matter what happened afterwards.
But when he knew that his mother had thoughts of suicide, he burst into tears and knelt on the ground begging his mother to please hold on for his sake, and he would definitely think of a way to save her.
The mother compromised temporarily, but Gu Chenyan knew that she had not given up the idea of dying.
Gu Chenyan knew that if the hospital really forcibly discharged his mother in two days, she would definitely have the urge to commit suicide.
Because he was the person she loved most in her life, she didn't want to become a burden to her son when she was seriously ill and dying, so the most direct way was to die.
Gu Chenyan was left with nowhere else to go and had to put aside his pride and go back home to ask for help from his cruel father.
As he thought, although his father did not lack the medical expenses, it was not easy to get the money from him.
As soon as he arrived at Gu's house, he was troubled by the mistress and her son.
He still remembers the shameless woman bossing him around.
She said, "Ayan, I'm not the kind of person who would just watch someone die without helping. But you also know that if you want to ask for help, you have to be sincere. If you want to save your mother's life, you have to see how sincere you are."
Surrounded by overwhelming humiliation, Gu Chenyan's eyes turned red with anger and his clenched fists kept shaking.
But he also knew the current situation did not allow him to act on impulse. Compared with his mother's life, everything was trivial.
He lowered his head, not daring to let the woman see his true emotions, fearing that she would be unhappy and whisper in her father's ear to refuse to pay for the medical treatment.
Gu Chenyan bit his lower lip and knelt in front of the woman.
The humiliation made him forget the pain until a strong smell of blood spread between his lips and tongue. Then he realized that he had bitten his lip too hard.
The woman and her son were standing by and mocking him. Gu Chenyan felt a buzzing sound exploding in his ears, drowning out the unbearable humiliation.
He endured it in numbness, just hoping to get through this torturous moment as soon as possible and get the life-saving money.
I don’t know how long I knelt, maybe an hour, or even longer.
The woman finally raised her hand and agreed to his request in an arrogant tone.
Gu Chenyan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had lost his dignity, he had finally gotten the life-saving money for his mother's medical treatment.
Amidst the deep humiliation, he actually felt a hint of joy.
Just as he was waiting happily to get the money, his father suddenly appeared.
The woman smiled and whispered something in his father's ear, but his father looked at him coldly without a trace of pity on his face.
The look was as if he was looking at thrown away garbage, so ruthless.
Even colder than this look was what his father said next: "Your mother is dying anyway, there is no need for me to waste money on a loser. Go away. I will never give you this money no matter what."
The hope in Gu Chenyan's eyes was extinguished in an instant, replaced by overwhelming hatred, anger, and heartbreak.
He couldn't believe that a man could be so cruel to his wife.
Besides, when they divorced, it was obviously this hypocritical man who was wrong.
The mother's pride made her never ask this hypocritical man for a penny even when she had to work at the lowest level of society.
For so many years, this ruthless man not only ignored the difficulties in life of the mother and son, but even when his wife was dying, he was so hard-hearted that he refused to give her even a little money to save her life.
Gu Chenyan couldn't help it, thinking that he couldn't get any money from here anyway, and he couldn't let this man have an easy time.
He gathered up all his strength, and pounced on this so-called father like a madman, venting all his anger over the years on this man.
He beat the man until his eyes went red, thinking that if his mother died, this man would not live either, and he spared no effort in every punch he threw.
After all, the teenager was weak and alone, and the Gu family already had bodyguards, so he failed to achieve his goal of killing the man.
In the end, he was severely beaten and thrown out of the Gu family.
When he was lying at the door of the Gu family like a dog, the father who used to be his role model just sneered: "Since you are my son, I will spare your life and not send you to the police station. Now get out of here as far as you can and go and take care of your dying mother!"
When the door of Gu's family was shut tightly, he swore that one day he would make them suffer a fate worse than death.
In the end, he didn't know how he walked out of the villa area.
He wandered aimlessly on the street, afraid to go back to the hospital.
Before he left the ward in the morning, he solemnly promised his mother that he would solve the financial problem today so that she could receive treatment with peace of mind.
