Chapter 75: Chapter 75: My Father Has Been Dead for a Long Time!
However, his pleading was seen by Gu Qiangwei as nothing but the consequences of his own actions!
Just as she was about to approach the cage, suddenly, a huge figure leaped out, blocking her way in front of Gu Qiangwei!
“Roar——”
Gu Qiangwei hadn’t had time to see what this enormous creature was, but when she did, she was completely shocked!
A lion, a lion!?
How could there be a lion here!?
Lions are carnivorous animals, and Gu Qiangwei’s instinct was to run away. But the next second, she saw the lion suddenly become submissive and start walking towards her.
“Ah!” Seeing the lion approaching suddenly, Gu Qiangwei was terrified out of her wits!
“Good.”
The next moment, however, she saw the lion walk towards Qin Sijue, instantly losing its wild nature and becoming very tame!
Gu Qiangwei was completely dumbfounded.
The lion, it actually didn’t attack Qin Sijue?
“It, it doesn’t bite?” she timidly asked, looking at the man.
Qin Sijue looked up, “It’s a lion, what do you think?”
“Then, why doesn’t it bite you?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“I raised it. If it dares to bite me, I’ll roast it for dinner!”
“…” You eat lions too!
Gu Qiangwei looked at the lion, then back at the man, unable to understand how a lion could also be kept as a pet!
“Qiangwei, Qiangwei! Save your dad, dad is about to die of thirst…”
Inside the cage, Gu Zhendong was still pleading desperately.
Since it was summer, and at that moment, the intense sun was bearing down directly, making Gu Zhendong inside the cage seem like a piece of human flesh being roasted, drenched in sweat!
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei turned her head and looked at the cage hanging in mid-air.
“Save you?”
“Yes, please give dad a drink of water, I… I’m really about to die of thirst.”
Seeing his miserable and pathetic state, Gu Qiangwei sneered coldly, yet her heart was piercing with pain like a needle, utterly heartbreaking!
“Why should I save you?” she asked coldly as if the person locked in the cage wasn’t her father but a demon who had thrown her into the jaws of a beast!
Gu Zhendong was taken aback, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
“I, I’m your dad… ”
“Dad? I’m sorry, you must have confused me with someone else. My father died long ago!”
“Qiangwei, I know you blame me, but… but your dad had no choice either. Gu Corporation is the work of my life; I couldn’t just watch it fall…”
“So you could just sell me off!?” Gu Qiangwei screamed in agony! Why, even now, were his eyes and heart only filled with his company, while she, when needed, was a daughter, and when not, disposable like worn-out shoes!
“I…” Facing her resolute words, Gu Zhendong felt guilty and speechless.
“You repeatedly claim to be my father, yet you could easily sell me to others for profit. How do you qualify to be my father?” Tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.
Gu Zhendong was speechless, but more than feeling guilty, he didn’t want to die!
“Qiangwei, even if you say that, but you truly are my daughter…”
“No! I don’t have a father who abandons his wife and daughter. From the moment you abandoned my mother, from the moment you personally sold me off, you and I no longer have any connections!”
Gazing at the man in the cage, she was filled with resentment, uttering each word as if squeezing them through her teeth.
At last, she decisively turned around and walked toward the garden’s entrance.
Seeing her leave, Gu Zhendong became even more panicked.
