Chapter 455 Past Life
Gong Tianhao asked, “Yu ‘Er, how did you get along with the child?”
At the mention of the child, Xiao Lingyu’s tears immediately fell, and her face was filled with
guilt.
She said, “I didn’t.”
When Gong Tianhao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. “How can this be?” He was puzzled.
Xiao Lingyu said, “From the beginning, I hated this child.He reminded me of the betrayal. Even after grandpa enlightened me, I still disliked him. Plus, at the time, I just wanted to return City Z to investigate the situation and prepare for revenge.
“So, after he was born, I didn’t even look at him. I had a natural birth, so I recovered quickly. The moment I could leave my bed, I departed for City Z. I didn’t even stop to hug him.”
Gong Tianhao suddenly felt sorry for his son. However, he would not blame Xiao Lingyu because this was not her fault.
Back then, she accidentally entered his room and did not know his identity. In other words, she was pregnant with a bastard child. Plus, the child represented her pain of betrayal. Xiao Lingyu continued crying, “After I left home overnight and returned to City Z, I started my investigation. I confirmed that the scumbag and Zhao Wenman had hooked up a long time ago. They framed me to save their reputation. My life was hell, but they married happily. “However, I also knew I was too powerless to do anything to them. They were too strong. So, I continued to endure. I have to become stronger and then take revenge.
“I started to look for a job. I applied for jobs at middle-sized companies, but when the companies got my resume, some of them had already heard of my name. They didn’t dare to hire me. In fact, some of them reported to Zhao Wenman about my return. They made my life worse.
“I tried the bigger companies, but my resume was not good enough. “When I left home, I didn’t bring much money with me. I didn’t have any money left, so I needed to find a job to sustain my livelihood. Out of desperation, I went to work as a janitor at a big company.”
Gong Tianhao was angry when he heard how Yu ‘Er was forced to work as a cleaner by those bastards. He thought to himself, ‘They might be in prison, but that’s still too good for them. They have to pay for what they did.’
Therefore, Zhao Wenman and her father swapped to another prison. They lived a life worse than death. Of course, Xiao Lingyu didn’t know that. When she found out, it was already much later.
“Hard work pays off,” Xiao Lingyu continued, “When the general manager of that Big Company was discussing a big business deal with a foreigner, the translator couldn’t come because he had something to do, so I volunteered to be their translator. My translation skills and negotiation skills were appreciated by the general manager.
“After the business deal was settled, he immediately transferred me from the cleaning staff to the Foreign Business Department.”
Thinking of the hardships during that period, Xiao Lingyu felt sad and grateful. During that period, she had seen all kinds of people. She was young and pretty. Even if she always hid behind a pair of large glasses, the men still took advantage of her. Fortunately, every time, she tactfully avoided them.
When she spoke fluent English, it shocked everyone. How could the HR department arrange for a university student to clean toilets?
When she moved to the Foreign Business Department, many people were surprised. Some of them mocked her.
However, she didn’t care. In this department, she flourished, and her talents were put to good use. She stood out among the employees. Due to her talent and skill, she managed to complete all the difficult tasks assigned to her.
In just a few months, her performance improved steadily. The general manager of the company valued her even more.
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “Within three years, I had made many wonderful results. Many companies offered me high prices to poach me away.
“However, the general manager saved my life, so I couldn’t betray him. Plus, I knew the company had a great future. Why would I leave?”
Gong Tianhao nodded.
He had always known that Xiao Lingyu was different from the others. The reason was that she had trained for years in the business world.
“I worked hard in the workplace for four years. I moved from a cleaner to an employee, then a team leader, a supervisor, the department leader, and finally the company’s Deputy General Manager.”
Gong Tianhao was very surprised at Xiao Lingyu’s ability.
In four years, she had risen from an unremarkable cleaner to the position of deputy general manager. This required a very outstanding ability. For a normal person, they would only become a team leader after working for ten years. He believed that if Xiao Lingyu wanted to return to the business world now, the companies would fight over her. “Just as I was filled with ambition and was about to start my revenge, I received a call from my family. They said that Xiao Tong was sick with a very serious illness. The doctor said that there was no way to treat him.
“Xiao Tong’s last wish was to see his mother one last time. He wanted me to give him a hug…” Every time she thought of this, Xiao Lingyu would break down and cry. She failed Xiao Tong and caused him to die with regret. But this was her regret too.
In the end, it was her heavy guilt that crushed her.
When Gong Tianhao heard this, his pupils constricted, and his eyes turned red.
So that was how everything was!
Hence, after Yu ‘Er’s rebirth, she had been worried about the child. She had been looking forward to the birth of this child with a heart filled with guilt and regret.
Therefore, even before he appeared, when the child was still a bastard child and when everyone persuaded her to abort the child, she was determined to keep him. She was carrying a lot of guilt from her previous life.
Gong Tianhao did not say anything. He only held her hand tightly and comforted her.
Xiao Lingyu continued, “When I received the call, it was as if the sky had collapsed. My entire body was spinning, and I was in a daze. I immediately rushed to the hospital. However, when I reached the hospital, Xiao Tong was already covered under a white cloth.
“I knelt before his bed and cried.
“My mother came and slapped me on the face. She said I didn’t deserve to be a mother.
“I didn’t even want to look at Xiao Tong after he was born.
“Where was I when Xiao Tong was teething, learning to walk and speak?
“Xiao Tong had been born weak. He needed to go to the hospital often. When he cried out in pain, where was I?
“I couldn’t even give Xiao Tong a hug, something that he wanted desperately.
“Therefore, I am not worthy of being a mother.
“I am not a good mother!”
Gong Tianhao sighed and wiped her tears with his hands. Then, he hugged Xiao Lingyu. He rested his chin on her head and said softly, “Yu ‘Er, this is not your fault. You were caught up in your own despair.” Xiao Lingyu was still crying. She shook her head and said, “No, I shouldn’t have blamed Xiao Tong at all. He didn’t choose to come to me. However, I hated him from the start. I blamed him for everything. In the end, I failed him too. I am to be blamed. I don’t deserve to be this mother.”
Gong Tianhao hugged her and comforted her. “No, it’s not your fault. You are also a victim. Really, I don’t think Xiao Tong will blame
you.”
