CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 355. No one trusts anyone

Chapter 355: 355. No one trusts anyone

The anger on his face subsided slightly, but the oppressive atmosphere around him still did not dissipate.

Xia Yumo glanced coldly at Gu Junhang, a mocking expression on her face. "I was saying, what’s wrong with your horrible mother?"

She thought he was upset because she had called his mother horrible. She sneered coldly in her heart and held back for a while. But in the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore and said:

"Is your mom sick or something? Have I eaten her rice or taken her land? Why does she always cause trouble for me?"

Gu Junhang’s face darkened. He looked at Xia Yumo for a long time before finally asking, "My mom caused trouble for you?"

"What do you think?"

Xia Yumo raised her eyebrows and laughed coldly. With her arms crossed and her chin lifted arrogantly, she said:

"Gu Junhang, I think the most unfortunate thing for me must have been having a relationship with her son. But so many years have passed; why can’t she let me go? Just do me a favor and tell her that since I broke up with you three years ago, there’s no way I’d come back to bother you. Just tell her to leave me alone."

After speaking, she stepped into the elevator, leaving Gu Junhang standing outside, looking at the slowly closing elevator door with a complex expression.

When Xia Yumo arrived downstairs, she saw Qiao Xu from afar, sitting quietly on a bench near the hospital lawn, her face expressionless.

But the truth Gu Junhang told her about eight years ago must have dealt a massive blow to her, right?

Who could accept that they had been cold-shouldered for three years because of such an inexplicable misunderstanding?

Xia Yumo hesitated for a moment, but still approached with concern.

"Xuxu."

She sat down next to Qiao Xu with a worried look. "Are you okay?"

Qiao Xu shook her head, and after a moment, laughed self-mockingly. "I just find it ridiculous."

Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse, and in the quiet night, it carried a hint of loneliness. "If he had asked me about it eight years ago, or if I had asked him when he wanted a divorce, would all this trouble have been avoided?"

Xia Yumo remained silent, unsure how to answer the question.

Qiao Xu didn’t need her answer, either. She just continued, "In the end, it’s because we didn’t trust each other enough."

"He didn’t trust me, and I didn’t trust him, which is why we wasted so many years."

She placed her hands on her lap, her smile bitter. "Although we were betrothed, we had no interaction. Back then, I was studying in the United States and rarely came back. My only understanding of him came from financial magazines."

As she said this, she laughed self-mockingly again. "When I first met Lu Moqing, I was only eight years old. I was longing for Qiao Sheng to show me some affection, to spoil me and accompany me like the fathers of other little friends."

"But Qiao Sheng despised me. Every time I went to find him, he would drive me away. I always wondered if I wasn’t as good as other kids, and that’s why Dad didn’t like me."

When she spoke these words, Qiao Xu was very calm. Even when mentioning Qiao Sheng, her emotions remained stable. Xia Yumo knew that to Qiao Xu, Qiao Sheng was now just a name.

"I sat crying by our home’s swimming pool, and then Lu Moqing sat down next to me, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away my tears."
