Chapter 831: The Ending (1)
Mrs. Xu went upstairs to ask Gu Yu to come down for breakfast, but was taken aback when she saw Gu Yu kneeling on the ground with his arms tightly wrapped around his head. He was trembling and seemed to be in terrible pain.
Although her knees had gone to jelly from fright, she braced herself and rushed into the room for fear that Gu Yu was in trouble. She asked with a worried face, “Yu, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?”
She reached out, wanting to help Gu Yu. But he swung her hand away. “Get out.”
His voice was deep and hoarse with a mixture of pain, but mostly extreme chill and resentment.
Although Mrs. Xu was worried about Gu Yu, she was more afraid of him. He had always shown her respect for being an elder to him. But now, her guts feeling told her to stay away from Gu Yu.
“I… I’ll be right outside. Just call for me if you need me…” she stammered.
She turned around quickly and left the room.
Gu Yu closed his eyes as pain engulfed his entire head. He remembered everything, everything single memory from the missing years in his head. Every little detail and images returned to him, regardless of whether it happened before or after the three painful years.
He was still on his knee. He bent down and picked up the notebook. But his fingers trembled so badly that he couldn’t even flip the pages of the notebook for another look.
He was already at peace with the incident that happened three years ago when Xu Weilai took the knife for him. He wanted to have a fresh start with her and better managed their marriage together.
He now knew how much of an a**hole he had been to Xu Weilai and how much he let her down. She had loved him with her life.
Xu Weilai’s love for him was not a joke. He was the joke.
Gu Yu sat weakly on the ground with his back leaning against the desk. Every word he read flashed before his eyes. Every word he read seemed to have turned into tiny needles with their sharp, pointy ends piercing into his heart. The pain was excruciating, that he felt like he was exploding.
But the pain he endured was nothing compared to the suffering he made Xu Weilai go through.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu did not come down after a while, Mr Xu too went upstairs after he was done taking a call. He frowned when he caught her pacing outside Xu Weilai’s room, looking anxious. “What’s wrong? Why are you standing outside of the room? Aren’t you going in?”
Mrs. Xu explained the situation to her husband and asked for Xu Weilai as if they would all be saved if she was here to take Gu Yu’s wrath for them. “When is Weilai expected to reach? She can deal with Gu Yu when she’s back. We can’t handle him if he loses his temper and gives us trouble.”
Mr. Xu’s expression turned worried at the mention of Xu Weilai. “She turned off her phone. I called her many times, but I still can’t find her. I don’t know where she went. She’s terrible.”
“What?” Mrs. Xu Weilai stamped her feet anxiously. “Then what should we do? Yu looked at me like he was going to swallow me whole just now when I did nothing to provoke him.”
Mr. Xu too was scared out of his wits. They used to have Xu Weilai as their shield to take on Gu Yu’s wrath. Now that she was nowhere to be found, they couldn’t help but complained about her for not being around. “It must be because of her. Why does she have to turn her phone off? Yu was never pleased with her in the past. Now that she angered him, she wanted to drag us down with her too?”
An ear-splitting sound came from the room as soon as he was done talking, which almost gave him a heart attack.
