Chapter 453 - Past Life
Chapter 453 Past Life
The debt of your past life would be paid back in this life!
Xiao Lingyu didn’t believe that in the past, but after all she had been through, how could she not?
In her past life, due to her stubbornness, confusion, and ignorance, she had harmed too many people. She owed too many people.
Her awakening came at a very heavy price. But the heavy sorrow was self-inflicted. Xiao Tong died of illness, and there was nothing she could do. Xiao Lingyu died with heavy guilt.
However, she didn’t expect the wheel of fate to turn. She was returned to the point of origin where her life started to stray. She returned to the right path.
Everything she did wrong in her past life was wiped away. However, she would never forgive those who had bullied, humiliated, and scolded her and her family. She could start again because of her rebirth.
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao sat on a white rock by the river, leaning against each other.
Xiao Lingyu leaned on his broad, strong, and safe shoulders, looking straight ahead.
She said, “I got together with my boyfriend when I was only 15, despite my family’s objections. Then, we went to high school and university together. After we graduated from university, we entered the same company. Just like that, ten years passed in the blink of an eye. We were in love for ten years too.
“Ten years is very long for any couple, but we didn’t feel it. Every day was very sweet. Eventually, we decided to form a family. We planned to get married.
“But we wanted to stay in the big city. We need a home because then we would be more like a family. Therefore, we agreed that we’d get married after we got a house.”
Gong Tianhao listened to his lover tell the story of her love for another man. The story sounded so romantic. Even though he knew the story didn’t end well, he was still very jealous.
“However, God has another plan for us. The cruelty of man is worse than the cruelty of God. I never thought the lover who was so affectionate and sweet to me would one day betray our relationship for the sake of money.
“If he just broke up with me, I wouldn’t have held such a grudge. To save his reputation, he and his new girlfriend came up with the idea to drug me.”
Xiao Lingyu was very calm when she said this. It was like she was telling another person’s story.
“Even when I was drugged, I was still alert. I tried to escape. But I accidentally charged into a random room. I spent a night there with a man… The next day, when I woke up and saw the unfamiliar room, I was so scared. I put on my clothes and ran.”
When Xiao Lingyu talked about being with another man, she raised her eyes and met Gong Tianhao’s eyes.
Gong Tianhao knew that the man she was talking about was him.
He recalled the first time he met Xiao Lingyu. The next day, Li Yuanhang received a call from the front desk, saying that the woman in his room had used his identity to obtain the surveillance video of the hotel. That was completely different from the story Yu ‘Er was telling him now.
Gong Tianhao immediately realized she was telling him about her previous life. However, how could the same person’s life stories be so different?
Gong Tianhao had deep doubts, but he knew that it was not the time to ask.
“Then I received a call urging me to go to work. At this moment, I was confused and scared. I was afraid of being found out that I had slept with a strange man. But I also wanted to find my boyfriend to comfort me. He was the only one I could rely on at the time.
“Suddenly, I received a call from him. He roared at me, calling me horrible names. He questioned me about my betrayal.”
Gong Tianhao’s face darkened as he cursed, “He’s trying to backstab you.”
“That’s right.” Xiao Lingyu nodded. “But I didn’t get it at the time. He said the whole company was spreading rumors about this strange man and me.
“I couldn’t tell what was happening. However, my heart exploded when I heard this had spread at the company. I immediately rushed to the company.
“What awaited me was the endless insults from everyone. The whole company had a picture of me being together with an old man at a hotel. The old man was a known womanizer.
“So, I was berated and broken up on the spot. Then my boss fired me too. I fell directly into hell in a short period of time. No one was there to comfort me or clear my name. Even my most trusted boyfriend didn’t want to believe me.
“I stood there alone, being criticized, despised, and scolded. People even threw things at me. I felt so helpless. Simultaneously, I felt guilty too. I was at a loss. I didn’t know what to do.
“I lost my boyfriend, my job, and all my friends. Overnight, my reputation was ruined. Everything was gone. The landlord threw my luggage out and chased me away. The entire industry was laughing at me. I have nowhere to go in City Z.
“I could only go home dejectedly. I was lonely and lost, in pain and despair. It was a feeling worse than death.
“But it was not peace that waited for me at home. The moment I entered the house, the Chen family came. As soon as they came to my house, they scolded me for being a philanderer, a cheater, and so on.
“My family suffered because of me. Then, the Chen Family demanded compensation for the loss of reputation, spiritual damage, and various other expenses. They wanted endless money.
“I was in a daze. Despair haunted me. I was trapped in my own world. I thought about suicide every day. I didn’t notice that my family, all my relatives, had been forced by the Chen family to the point that they were on the verge of a breakdown too.
“Eventually, I managed to commit suicide. My family managed to save me in time. I was sent to the hospital, and it was then that I discovered I was pregnant.
“I was already in despair from having betrayed my boyfriend. This bastard child only added to my despair. I was completely devastated.”
At this point, Xiao Lingyu subconsciously touched her stomach. Gong Tianhao’s gaze landed on her stomach.
Only then did Gong Tianhao understand why Xiao Lingyu was so nervous about their child. Why she always looked at her stomach with guilt.
Tears began to form at the corners of Xiao Lingyu’s eyes.
Gong Tianhao wiped away her tears and caressed her stomach with his big hand.
Even though he was guessing ahead, he could tell that Xiao Lingyu didn’t like this child in her past life.
Xiao Lingyu continued, “After I found out about this child’s existence, my first reaction was to abort it. I didn’t want to keep him. His existence will be a constant reminder of my betrayal of my boyfriend.
“However, because of my poor physical condition, the doctor said that this child couldn’t be aborted. It would put my life in danger. Both of us might die. “Therefore, even if I wanted an abortion, I couldn’t. My parents kept a strict watch over me, and the child was very strong. When no one was looking, I tried many methods like jumping ropes, lifting heavy objects, running, and so on, but the child held on tightly.
“The news of my pregnancy was quickly spread. The Chen family came over and made a big fuss again, shouting that they wanted compensation of 100,000. They smashed everything in the house. My father and my brother tried to stop them. My father was kicked in the lungs. My brother’s leg was broken.
“They didn’t get medical attention in time. Plus, we were poor because of what I did. From then on, my father would cough up blood daily and my brother became a cripple. Even though he didn’t need a crutch, he would limp.”
