Mistakenly Took a Crazy-Beautiful, Baiting Omega for My Wife 72

Chapter 72

“My past?”

Gu Yixi clearly hadn’t expected Su Guan to ask about this topic. She was a little stunned when she said it.

“That’s right. We’ve been together for so long now, but you, Boss, haven’t said a word about your past. It’s so secretive,” Su Guan deliberately provoked her. “Didn’t I tell you about my childhood last time?”

The memories of the original host’s childhood still lingered. Although she was born in the Su family, with a golden spoon in her mouth, her mother’s neglect and her indecisive mom had still made the original host suffer a lot.

She had no social life, no corresponding resources, and was even “implicated” and exiled to the seaside. There, she couldn’t even use the surname “Su” and could only take her mom’s surname, for fear of shaming Su Yaying.

This was just the original host’s childhood. The suffering she had endured after she grew up was even more needless to say. In her youth, she had been suppressed by Gu Qing, looked down upon, and despised.

Su Guan hadn’t known about this after she had transmigrated. When she saw Gu Qing again, she had just thought she was a relative with some strange behavior.

But the truth was far from it. Until now, the system hadn’t given her a definite answer, and what would happen between her and Gu Qing in the future was also unclear.

After hearing Su Guan finish, Gu Yixi hummed twice and shook her head. “To be fair, you say a little, I say a little.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll talk,” Su Guan shook her head and did as she was told.

After all, this was a despotic little tyrant. To be able to negotiate with her was already a joyous occasion. Su Guan didn’t ask for more.

She had her own memories and the original host’s memories, so she just picked some interesting ones to talk about.

Anyway, as long as she could get Gu Yixi to talk.

The chat she had had with Wen Shijin this afternoon was still imprinted in Su Guan’s mind. She was eager to know what Gu Yixi’s past and childhood were like.

With such parents, how had she grown up?
…And according to what she had learned, Gu Yixi had not been born in the Gu family from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yixi didn’t hide anything. After Su Guan had finished talking about her own experiences, she naturally picked up where she had left off.

…

“I wasn’t born in Jiangbei. From as long as I can remember, I lived by the sea… a place almost like a port, with people coming and going, but not many.”

Gu Yixi’s voice was low as she narrated, recalling the past.

These past experiences, for a successful person who had created a business empire, were almost like a fantasy, to the point where the public would not believe it if she said it.

But these memories were deeply imprinted in her memory.

“At that time, I also had a pair of moms,” Gu Yixi’s tone was gentle, and she continued to smile. “The two of them, one worked hard to live, and the other didn’t work so hard, but our days were good.”

Without closing her eyes, Gu Yixi could almost smell the salty, damp sea breeze, blowing in through the window, and then extinguishing the light above her head.

One of her moms had to go out to sea. Every time she came back, she would tell her about different things she had seen.

Gu Yixi still had her eyes open.

The sound of the creaking wooden floorboards of the attic echoed in her ears; a few moths circled in the buzzing night, tirelessly bumping against the dim light bulb…

These memories were very distant from her, but recalling them required no effort at all, easy and effortless.

“You lived by the sea when you were a child?” Su Guan was very surprised. “Then did you go out to sea with your mom?”

Not her biological mother, definitely her adoptive mother, Su Guan had a feeling.

“No, I never went out,” Gu Yixi denied quickly and continued.

Her days by the sea were poor but profound. She even had a younger sister later, and the family of four lived a harmonious and happy life.

But one day, a strong wind came, and her mom’s returning boat was also blocked.

Su Guan’s heart suddenly jumped to her throat. She swallowed and immediately said, “Then is your auntie okay?”

From Gu Yixi’s expression, it seemed that something had gone wrong.

“The wind was very strong that day. Our family waited for a day and didn’t see Mom come back… and then I never saw her come back again,” Gu Yixi’s tone was even calmer when she said this.

Su Guan’s eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to say.

The mom who had never come back was the mother Gu Yixi had just said didn’t work so hard—but she had always tried her best to make Gu Yixi happy.

Such a warm mother and daughter, had their right to meet been cruelly taken away by the wind and waves of the sea?

“Then… my condolences?” Su Guan asked tentatively, trying to comfort her.

However, Gu Yixi shook her head again. “No, it’s not.”

She continued.

The three of them had not waited for their mom to come back, but a pair of black-clad people had come to Weizhen in a hurry, speaking in a strange but standard accent.

Those people were well-dressed, and their every move was full of nobility. The only adult left at home felt the pressure from the visitors.

They were not from a small background. A simple “your eldest daughter is not your biological daughter” had easily shattered everything Gu Yixi had built up in her childhood, and then they had ruthlessly taken her away.

Su Guan was stunned.

She had vaguely known that Gu Yixi seemed to have been found and brought back, but she had not expected the process to be like this.

“You didn’t have this name at that time, right?”
Gu Yixi nodded lightly and said, “That’s right, I didn’t have this name at that time. At that time, I only had a nickname. They called me… Runrun. It’s something related to water.”

Although her tone was still light and breezy, Su Guan could clearly sense the fluctuation in Gu Yixi’s emotions.

Although her current life was worlds apart from her past, she must still think of the salty, damp sea breeze.

In that small town, she had precious memories that she cherished.

There, Runrun had two moms. Although their personalities were different, they both worked hard for a living… and later, she had a little sister.

“Unfortunately, I’ve never seen my sister grow up,” Gu Yixi sighed and continued, “When the Gu family found me and took me back, I cried and made a fuss all the way, refusing to leave home.”

“…But in the end, I still compromised,” Gu Yixi smiled and shrugged helplessly. “If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have been the only one to suffer.”

Her current physical condition had fallen to this state. It was hard to say that it wasn’t because of those people’s help.

In her previous life, she hadn’t understood. She had just thought it was a problem from birth—her biological mother, Gu Yanyu, was a Beta, and she had taken some specific drugs, which might have affected her.

Gu Yixi had been so naive in the past, until she had been schemed against by her “family” with the same bloodline. Only then did she know that some things were not just rumors.

“Am I very trustworthy? And the kind that repays a drop of kindness with a gushing spring,” Gu Yixi’s tone suddenly changed, becoming light and cheerful, and she spoke to Su Guan.

In the dark night, only a few specks of light fell on her face. Su Guan couldn’t see clearly, but she could still imagine the smug smile on Gu Yixi’s lips.

“Yes, yes, very stylish, very generous,” there was no doubt about this. Su Guan immediately admitted.

So Gu Yixi had grown up by the sea… then this time they couldn’t go on a trip. Actually, Gu Yixi was the one who was more sad, right?

For no reason, Su Guan said, “By the way, when you were in the small town, did you have any good friends?”

It was as if an ant were gnawing at her heart.

Although she hadn’t participated in Gu Yixi’s past, she still wanted to intervene, to understand, to see through.

If little Runrun had no good friends, her childhood must have been boring at some point, right? Who would want to stay with adults all the time?

So she asked this question.

In the few seconds she waited for an answer, Su Guan suddenly had an urge to fall asleep—this answer, whether it was “yes” or “no,” she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to tell Gu Yixi not to answer, the latter had already spoken.

“Well, it’s been too long. I’ve forgotten.”

Gu Yixi’s tone was flat. She said she had forgotten.

A figure flashed through her mind, a person who had accidentally come to the seaside—it was just a vacation’s fate. How could it be considered a good friend or not?

Getting this answer, Su Guan’s anxious heart actually fell. “Oh, so you didn’t have any. Little Runrun had no one to accompany her when she was a child. It feels so pitiful.”

Gu Yixi’s retort was merciless. “Well, you say I’m pitiful, but aren’t you happy in your heart?”
“Ha, how can I be happy?” At night, Su Guan seemed to be able to suppress her smile more easily. “I’m still heartbroken for little Run. It was bad before, but it’s better now, right?”
“Well, it’s better now.”

The hands that were covered were held even tighter.

It’s better now, Gu Yixi told herself.

…

“This is really turning the world upside down. Su Guan actually didn’t answer my call?!”

This was the twelfth time Gu Qing had failed to get through to Su Guan. At this moment, her resentment towards Su Guan had reached its peak.

“Does she think she’s a kept man now? So she can ignore me?” Gu Qing’s words were frequently laced with curses, all of which were directed at Su Guan.

Her little sister quickly comforted her. “Boss, how can that be? From her previous behavior, she definitely wouldn’t dare to ignore you. Aiyo, it’s so fun tonight. You shouldn’t be thinking about such an unlucky person!”

The neon lights in the bar were flashing, and the dance floor was dazzling, making it hard to open one’s eyes.

Gu Qing was still Gu Qing. She had even ordered several muscular men to surround her.

“Yes, you’re right. It’s indeed a joyous occasion tonight,” Gu Qing pretended to be fine and reached out to poke the muscles of the person in front of her. “They feel much better than Su Guan.”

…What was so great about that unlucky woman! Gu Qing felt she should also change her taste.

The muscular man, having been praised by his benefactor, worked even harder, and the sound of his little sister’s praise grew even louder.

But Gu Qing’s mood was getting worse and worse.

Su Guan, Su Guan had not answered her call for the twelfth time!

In all her life, where had she ever suffered such a setback in love?!

She decided to give Su Guan one last chance, and she would do as she said.

“Alright, alright, you guys get down. I’m disgusted just looking at you!” Gu Qing suddenly shouted at the person in front of her. “Go!”

Her little sister was dumbfounded.

How could she change her face so quickly? The two of them looked at each other guiltily. It seemed that Su Guan still had a deep influence on the boss.

Gu Qing was going to call Su Guan again.

“This is the last chance I’m giving you, Su Guan,” she muttered.
