Chapter 656: 656. Conscience eaten by a dog

Not wanting to appear too weak in front of Gu Junhang, she mustered up her spirits, and raised her tone a bit, saying:

"Mr. Gu, do you need something?"

The distant, almost cold tone made Gu Junhang on the other end of the phone silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke:

"I heard you were hospitalized."

Xia Yumo’s face turned serious, then she said nonchalantly, "Hmm, acute gastroenteritis. Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up."

As she was about to press the red button, she heard Gu Junhang’s cold voice come through the phone, "Xia Yumo, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Xia Yumo’s hand gripping the phone tightened, and after a long moment, she said, "Yes, eaten by a dog."

After saying this, she hung up the phone and added the number to the blacklist.

When Qiao Xu entered the room, she saw Xia Yumo hanging up the phone with a cold expression on her face. She didn’t need to guess who it was that had called her.

Thinking about their unresolved relationship, Qiao Xu sighed and said,

"Maybe there really was a misunderstanding back then, don’t you want to ask Gu Junhang to clarify?"

"There’s nothing to ask. Even if there was a misunderstanding, it’s broken now. The Gu family is not just Xue Lan who’s unwilling to accept a daughter-in-law like me; Gu Junhang’s father and grandfather won’t accept me either. Why should I bring humiliation upon myself?"

Xia Yumo shrugged, apparently unconcerned, and said,

"Besides, Xue Lan was right. It’s better for him to marry a well-matched woman than someone like me who can’t help him at all. Why should I hold him back?"

"How do you know you’re holding him back?"

Qiao Xu was a bit frustrated, feeling that Xia Yumo was being too obsessed with family background and had become overly humble.

"Gu Junhang’s status and position aren’t supported by the Gu family. He doesn’t need a woman to enhance himself. You’re overthinking it."

Xia Yumo gave a faint smile, seemingly not taking Qiao Xu’s words to heart, and continued:

"Xue Lan told me that if Gu Junhang’s wife doesn’t have a strong family background, Gu Huanan might give the Gu family to that illegitimate child."

She lowered her gaze, not looking at Qiao Xu, and continued,

"So, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is pointless. Even if it’s not, I can’t be with him."

What Qiao Xu wanted to say was that Gu Junhang might not care about the Gu family and would just give it to the illegitimate child.

But she wasn’t Gu Junhang, and she couldn’t make that decision for him.

Not caring is one thing, giving it to someone else is another matter.

Even if Gu Junhang didn’t care about the Gu family, he might not be willing to let the illegitimate child benefit from it.

In the end, she didn’t know how to comfort her, so she decided not to discuss the matter between them any further.

Gu Residence——

After work, Gu Junhang went home, changed his clothes, and hurried out of the house. He happened to bump into his mother, Xue Lan, who had just returned from playing mahjong.

"Where are you rushing off to?"

Gu Junhang’s relationship with his mother Xue Lan wasn’t very good. Because of the issue with Xia Yumo, their already distant relationship had grown even more estranged. Seeing Xue Lan reminded him of what Qiao Xu had said, and his gaze towards Xue Lan became even colder.

Xue Lan, annoyed by Gu Junhang’s gaze, frowned and said,

"What are you looking at me like that for?"
