Capítulo 7: Finding a Way Out for Herself
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Su Jing was reading the novel, she felt for Gu Jue's character the most.
Gu Jue's father died early, and his mother was a mistress. After his father died, she abandoned him and ran away with another man.
He stayed in the Gu family as an illegitimate child. He was abused by his father's first wife and his half-brother from a young age. He also had congenital heart disease. His life was as miserable as it could be.
Later, Gu Jue finally met the female lead, Lin Yi. He thought she was his salvation, but he could not get together with her.
In the process of pursuing Lin Yi, he was hurt by Lin Yi time and time again. In the end, he becomes the biggest villain in the book. Gu Jue's character was the only motivation for Su Jing to continue reading this novel.
She was not moved by the love between the male and female leads in the book. She just wanted to see if Gu Jue could have a perfect ending.
This child was too pitiful. All he wanted was a little bit of love. In the end, no one was willing to give it to him. After everyone forced him into being a bad guy, they blamed him for being evil.
Su Jing wanted to crawl into the book and hug this young man more than once.
Speaking of the ending, Su Jing suddenly thought of something. The pitiful young man in front of her was a future villain!
This young man would be more powerful than the Qin family and the Su family combined. His methods were so ruthless that countless people were scared out of their wits when they heard his name.
Would she still have to worry about her tragic ending if she could cozy up to him now?
Qin Feng was also a ruthless person. If he were greedy and still wanted to take over the Su family, Su Jing's situation would become extremely dangerous.
What if she took advantage of the fact that Gu Jue had yet to grow into his villainous self at this point, helped him, and nurtured him? Based on Gu Jue's character, he would definitely repay Su Jing in the future.
Moreover, Su Jing could love Gu Jue and make him feel that there was still love in the world. This way, he wouldn't turn evil and avoid his tragic ending. It was like killing two birds with one stone!
Su Jing was pleased with her plan and started to giggle.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Gu Jue was confused.
'Why was Su Jing surprised and giggled when she heard his name? Did she know him?'
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."
Su Jing returned to her senses and looked at Gu Jue with concern.
Without waiting for Gu Jue to respond, she grabbed a cup of hot water and handed it to Gu Jue, "Be careful, it's hot. Drink it slowly. I'll take you out for a meal in a while, and then I'll send you home."
Gu Jue held the cup in his hand. The outside of the cup emitted a temperature that he had never felt before.
'Was this the feeling of being cared for by someone?'
Gu Jue looked at Su Jing carefully. This charming woman seemed to be concerned about him.
He blew on the steaming water in the cup and took a little sip. He made a big decision in his mind.
Su Jing did not notice the change in his expression as she continued to plan their schedule, "I'll take you to eat something nutritious in a while. You're too skinny, and you need to replenish. By the way, do you have a phone? I'll give you my phone number. If you want to contact me, just give me a call."
A drop of warm liquid dripped onto Su Jing's hand. She looked at Gu Jue in shock, only to discover that the child was sobbing.
Su Jing panicked and asked, "Wh-What's wrong…? Don't cry. Did I say something wrong? I am sorry."
Gu Jue was sensitive. Su Jing thought she had accidentally touched on something that triggered him and quickly apologized.
Gu Jue shook his head and forced a smile, "You didn't say anything wrong. It's just that I haven't felt the warmth of my family in a long time."
Su Jing felt bad. Just a glass of water and a few words could make Gu Jue cry. This child really had a tough life.
Su Jing patted his blanket and said gently, "Don't worry. From now on, you can consider me your biological sister. If you have any difficulties, just look for me. I will definitely help you."
Gu Jue's eyes were still filled with tears as he looked at Su Jing pitifully, "Are you really willing to help me with anything?"
Su Jing nodded her head solemnly. She did not realize that Gu Jue had already dragged her into a ditch.
"How about you take me in for a few days? I was chased out of my home by my stepmother. I have nowhere else to go. Don't worry. I will only stay for a few days. Once I find a new place to stay, I will leave immediately. I won't cause you any trouble."
After Gu Jue finished the first half of his sentence, he seemed to think that his request was a little too much. So, he quickly made another promise to Su Jing.
The pleading in his eyes hurt Su Jing. She held him in her arms and said, "Silly child, you can stay with me as long as you want. You have a family now. I'll be your family."
At this moment, Su Jing's motherly nature was about to explode. She had absolutely no idea that she had fallen into Gu Jue's trap.
Gu Jue's face darkened as emotions surged in his heart.
Family? This word seemed too foreign for Gu Jue.
