The glass was smashed to pieces, and Zhou's mother suppressed the sound of disgust before it exploded.
"I told you not to call me mom. You are not my daughter. How many times do you have to tell me before you understand? You are just a substitute we found for her. You are not Zhou Xiaoxiao!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s fingers were trembling.
She felt like her world had collapsed.
Blind, she was helpless and frightened. She could not see anything and could only discern the speaker's emotions from his voice.
"Impossible, Gu Yan, where are you? Everything mom said is false, right?"
With a trembling voice, Zhou Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed a few times in vain.
Gu Yan looked at the panic and helplessness on her face from a distance and did not move.
"Everything she said was true."
"But you all say that I am Zhou Xiaoxiao, please don't do this, I'm afraid."
Zhou Xiaoxiao's face was as white as snow. She took a few steps forward and grabbed her husband's hand, trying her best to control her emotions that were about to collapse.
"If I'm not Zhou Xiaoxiao, then who am I?"
impossible.
How is this possible?
Three years ago, she was blind when she woke up. There was nothing but blank space in her mind, as if she was a superfluous person in the world.
It was Gu Yan who held her hand in the darkness and called her Xiaoxiao gently.
She had been married to him for three years and had been Zhou Xiaoxiao for three years, but now she said that she was just Zhou Xiaoxiao's stand-in?
"I don't know who you are, but your appearance solved the Zhou family's troubles. At that time, we needed a substitute for Xiaoxiao, and you."
Gu Yan paused.
He said cruelly in an emotionless voice: "She looks a bit like her."
Zhou Xiaoxiao's body froze, and her heart suddenly surged with unspeakable panic and heartache.
She was almost out of breath.
So their marriage is fake?
No wonder his attitude towards her has always been indifferent, no wonder her parents are so alienated from her.
She is the only one who wants to maintain these fake relationships.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door: "Sir, she has arrived, she is downstairs."
The sound of Gu Yan's hurried footsteps gradually faded away.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't see anything. She could only face the darkness in front of her and groped step by step to catch up.
Zhou's mother's cold voice sounded from behind: "You have occupied my daughter's position for three years. Now it is time to leave. We will give you a sum of money. Don't expect anything else."
His fingers tightened little by little, and Zhou Xiao stood helpless.
She listened to Zhou's mother's footsteps hurrying away, and wondered whether she should follow them.
Downstairs, Gu Yan looked at the woman in front of him with a sad expression.
There are some differences between her and her memory, and her skin color is much darker.
"Gu Yan!"
The woman threw herself into Gu Yan's arms and hugged him tightly: "I'm back, I'm finally back. Do you know how I've been living these past few years? Wuwuwu..."
Gu Yanzhang's mind suddenly recalled Zhou Xiaoxiao's delicate appearance when she was huddled in his arms.
Even though she can't see it.
But those clear eyes could always look into his heart easily.
The woman was sobbing, telling her about the inhuman life of the past few years. Gu Yan stretched out his hand and patted her back gently.
"It's okay. You're back. You're in my arms now. Don't be afraid."
On the stairs, Zhou Xiaoxiao listened to Gu Yan's gentle voice and her heart was pounding. Although she couldn't see it, she could imagine the two embracing each other.
She moved forward, calling softly like a person isolated from the outside world: "Gu Yan."
The woman looked up from Gu Yan's arms. Complexity and jealousy flashed across her brows, but she quickly covered it up.
"Is she the girl who replaced me for three years?"
The real Zhou Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and still held on to Gu Yan.
"Thank you for protecting everything for me and taking care of Gu Yan and my parents. You can tell me whatever you want and I will satisfy you."
Women are bossy and have a condescending attitude.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart was stabbed fiercely, and a feeling of embarrassment arose spontaneously. The two of them pinched each other at a loss.
Is this charity?
"Okay, don't tell her. Mom will arrange those things. You just need to be responsible for taking good care of yourself, you know?"
Zhou's mother walked in, her voice filled with irrepressible joy.
She was so happy that she pushed her daughter and Gu Yan to sit down on the sofa, and said softly: "Gu Yan, please arrange for her to leave as soon as possible, otherwise Xiaoxiao will be in trouble."
Zhou Xiaoxiao's body froze.
She was now like trash that needed to be thrown away, and Gu Yan's answer made her feel even colder.
Gu Yan didn't refute, just responded with a faint "Yeah".
He gently said to the woman: "I'll have someone clean up the room you used to live in."
The woman's voice was full of sorrow and horror: "Don't leave me, I'm afraid."
"Okay, I won't leave, I won't leave you."
Listening to the interaction between the two, Zhou Xiaoxiao's hands and feet were cold and she felt uneasy.
What should she do.
Will Gu Yan really send her away?
How will she live in the future, and she hasn't had time to tell Gu Yan that she already has two children...
"You go upstairs first, she will feel uncomfortable when she sees you."
Gu Yan's silent voice interrupted Zhou Xiaoxiao's uneasiness, and his unabashed alienation made Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart fall into an ice cave.
She stood still.
"What are you still doing? Come up!"
Mother Zhou shouted sharply.
Zhou Xiaoxiao turned to Gu Yan's direction with sadness in her heart: "Gu Yan, I have something to tell you privately. Can you come up with me?"
"Is there anything you can't say in front of us, or do you want to beg Gu Yan? I tell you, everything you have now belongs to my daughter, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!"
Mother Zhou said coldly.
"Mom, don't do this."
The woman gently comforted Zhou's mother.
Embarrassed, Zhou Xiaoxiao's cheeks were red. She was embarrassed and helpless and tried to catch Gu Yan, but it was in vain.
Seeing her helpless and weak look, Gu Yan frowned, got up impatiently, walked over, grabbed her and pulled her towards the second floor.
The door slammed shut, Gu Yan loosened his tie and urged: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I don't want Xiaoxiao to misunderstand."
Staggering to his feet, his anxious attitude made Zhou Xiaoxiao feel chills in her heart.
We have been a couple for three years, are they fake day and night?
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao finally woke up completely, and her whole heart was numb with despair.
"Gu Yan, I thought you had at least a little affection for me, so in the past three years, have you never invested a single bit in me?"
"You are still not her, why should I invest my feelings in you."
"Ha ha."
Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed and burst into tears: "So in these three years, I am the only one who has been seriously being your wife and maintaining our relationship. You look at me like a fool, right?"
"Isn't it ridiculous for you to listen to me thinking about the future with you? When I, a blind man, dreamed of being with you until we grow old, are you thinking in your heart that I am such an annoying and verbose fool?!"
She became excited and her voice became louder and louder.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yan's voice was cold: "Everything you own is not yours."
