Chapter 408: Chapter 408 It’s Time to Face

Han Yingnai had no choice but to compromise.

"And you, Xiao Jing! Being friends to this extent is already more than enough! If you still refuse to go back to the country because of me, then I will just marry whomever!" Gong Xiaoqiao spoke sternly.

Gu Hangshen immediately lifted his head to look at her, frowning deeply.

Without waiting for Leng Jing to speak, Xiaoqiao continued, "I may be blind, but I am not useless! Don’t make me feel like I can only be a burden to others, that I can only rely on others to live! I know you care about me, that you treat me like your own sister, but sometimes love can also be a burden! Three years is already enough, I can live on my own, take care of myself! You should know what I most hope to see!"

Seeing Leng Jing’s reddening eyes, Han Yingnai blinked, not knowing how to comfort her, feeling somehow like the third wheel, replacing Xiao Jing’s place, uh...

Leng Jing hung her head low, "I understand."

"But there are some things I must say! Xiaoqiao, I’ve never felt you were a burden, on the contrary, you’ve redeemed me! Take good care of yourself when I’m not around!"

Leng Jing took a deep breath and smiled as she hugged her, then turned around and left.

Perhaps, all this time, taking care of Xiaoqiao was just an excuse, an excuse for her not wanting to open her heart to others, preferring to hide in her own world...

In fact, she wasn’t always friendless. Up until junior high school, she was quite popular and even had very good friends.

Until one day, she overheard a conversation between several girls in the restroom.

"Wow, Xiao Ling, your bag is so pretty! And the bracelet looks great too! Leng Jing is so good to you!"

"I told her I didn’t want it, but she insisted on giving it to me!"

"I never would have guessed you’d get along so well with that young lady!"

"Psh, I hate girls who think they’re all that just because they’re rich! You can’t buy true friendship with money! My best friends are obviously you guys! You can have all this! Take whatever you like!"

"Really? Xiao Ling, you’re the best!"

"No wonder the class president likes you but not Leng Jing. What good is money? It’s girls like you who are approachable and cute!"

"Exactly! Those kinds of people don’t know a thing about friendship or love!"

...

She had always been sincere with her, treating her as her best friend, foolishly trying to please everyone, yet in the end, she found herself in a situation where everyone despised her...

What friends, what popularity, it all turned out to be false, bought with money...

She had been avoiding opening her heart to others, but it was time to face it.

After Leng Jing and Han Yingnai left, Xiaoqiao followed Gu Hangshen to Xiao Nian’s hospital room with a heavy heart.

As soon as the little guy saw his mommy, he immediately climbed down from the bed and ran over, whining, "Mommy, mommy, the injection hurt! Kiss from mommy!"

Gu Hangshen held his forehead; the child certainly didn’t miss any opportunity to act spoiled. When he used to bring him, the kid never even cried out in pain.

"Mommy, mommy! Xiao Nian has already had the shot, can we go home now?" Xiao Nian asked with a face full of hope.

Xiaoqiao felt troubled, "Baby, we can’t yet! Because grandpa is sick, mommy has to stay in the hospital."

"Then Xiao Nian will stay with mommy!"

After saying this, the little guy turned his head to look at Gu Hangshen, "What about daddy?"
