Chapter 319 A life-and-death struggle
"Do not care."
Gu Xiqing pursed her lips, shook her head, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
It snowed in S City this year, but in the same year, it did not snow in S City. The temperature just kept dropping and frost formed on the ground.
Lin Qingxuan looked at the receding scenery with her, feeling mixed emotions.
After the Xiaoxue solar term, the country immediately entered a severe winter.
Under Ajie's day and night supervision and conversation, the long-term contract between Tiansheng and City A Hongmao Group was finally stamped, and they officially became long-term allies.
Shen Xiang came out of the laboratory and saw Gu Xiqing's call. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiqing, are you okay? Did Lin Qingxuan do anything to you?"
It was all her fault. She shouldn't have doubted Gu Xiqing, but... but at that time she really couldn't imagine that Gu Xiqing would do such an excessive thing. This was a little beyond her cognition.
Coupled with Dai Qian's verbal provocation and Liola's experiment, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought about it, fearing that the person in front of him was not a close relative he knew.
"I'm fine. He and I went to complete some things that I wanted to accomplish for many years."
In a private villa in S City, in a greenhouse where it is spring all year round, Gu Xiqing sat on a chair and trimmed the branches of flowers on the table.
"Xiangxiang..." Putting a bright red rose into the vase, Gu Xiqing lowered her eyes and thought for a long time.
Shen Xiang couldn't hear any sound from the other end for a long time, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant, and I plan to give birth to this child."
Pregnant?
"This... this is a good thing. No matter what, you and Lin Qingxuan are fine, right? He didn't do anything excessive to you? You..." Shen Xiang raised her head anxiously, licked her dry lips, and paced back and forth in the corridor. "After all, you have loved him for so long. Rather than ending it in vain, I still hope you can be happy."
"He didn't do anything to me." Gu Xiqing put down the scissors she was using to trim the flowers, half-lying on the chair, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above her head. "I just want to tell you a secret."
In fact, she also missed Shen Xiang, the Mr. Shen who always protected her from the wind and rain in her world.
"You guessed right, I'm not Gu Xiqing from this world."
Shen Xiang, who was walking back and forth, stopped in place. There was a buzzing sound in his ears and he could not hear anything clearly.
"I come from another world. I will die next winter from advanced stomach cancer."
"I came into this world on our wedding day. I'm sorry I lied to you."
Gu Xiqing finished speaking in one breath, not daring to listen to Shen Xiang's voice, and hung up the phone with trembling hands.
After much thought, she said it herself, and there is a difference between that and being exposed.
The phone that had just hung up suddenly rang again.
Shen Xiang walked quickly out of the research institute while calling Gu Xiqing.
"Answer the phone!"
Have you lied to her for so long?
What about the Gu Xiqing she knew? Where did she go?
Did the Gu Xiqing she knew disappear quietly?
He drove directly to the villa without even taking off his white coat.
In just half an hour, he stood in front of Gu Xiqing.
"Why didn't you keep it a secret from me forever?"
Filled with anger and hatred, and wanting to seek justice for his loved ones, when he saw someone sitting in the greenhouse, with her hair loose, lowering her head and gently stroking her belly, the anger in his body dissipated uncontrollably.
"Because..." Gu Xiqing looked at the angry Shen Xiang, her eyes slightly red, and said nervously, "Because I need your help."
In the past few days since she came back, she has read the report on Liola's potion research. The new potion D01 with the addition of ghost orchid can make people dazed and fall into illusions, thus creating a prison for themselves and ending their lives.
She needed this latest medicine to use on Dai Qian.
This medicine was developed by Shen Xiang. You can contact her without going through the formalities and leaving any traces.
"You... heh... you're not someone I know, you're not someone I want to protect. Why do you think I'll help you?"
Shen Xiang stared at Gu Xiqing and laughed speechlessly.
I wanted to scold her, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
After all, this face is her cherished love.
"I was the one who locked Dai Qian up in the mental hospital and did all the things that happened there." Gu Xiqing gestured for her to sit down. "She, like me, isn't from this world. No matter which world we're in, it's a life-and-death struggle. I got tired of continuing this harmless fight with her, so I killed her in a car accident."
"My Xiqing wouldn't be like this." Shen Xiang snorted coldly, sat down opposite her, and looked at her with cold eyes. The sarcasm in her eyes was not concealed at all, like thorns that pierced deeply into Gu Xiqing's heart.
"If she doesn't die, then I will." But Gu Xiqing no longer cared. The increasingly strong feeling told her that death was very close to her.
"Shen Xiang, my soul is not the person you know, but my body is. There is a chance that the me in this world will come back, but if something happens to me, my soul will not be able to come back without a body to reside in."
"Dai Qian and Li Xianzhuo have been looking for my weaknesses for a while now. I need to strike first and kill them. I need the D01 potion."
Shen Xiang let out a sarcastic smile. "If you want me to give it to you, I have to give it to you? Why should I believe anything you say? I was wondering why your attitude changed so quickly after you married Lin Qingxuan... It turns out you've become a different person. Every time you see me fighting for you, running around for you, and planning a way out for you, don't you feel heartbroken?"
"Xiangxiang..."
"Don't call me that, it makes me sick!"
Shen Xiang's eyes fell on her belly, and the pent-up anger still surged in her heart. Every word she spoke was stinging. "You have usurped my rightful place and destroyed the happiness Xiqing had always wanted. You used her body to entangle with her lover, and you even got pregnant... Do you have any heart? Gu Xiqing, how can you feel at ease nurturing your pregnancy here?"
Gu Xiqing opened her mouth, unable to refute.
"My Xiqing was looking forward to that wedding so much, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep on the eve of the wedding, and now you're here at the wedding!?"
There was mist in Shen Xiang's eyes, and she became more and more excited as she spoke. She raised her big hand and knocked over all the bouquets on the table. She walked quickly to Gu Xiqing, her eyes red, and suddenly grabbed her neck.
"Give my Xiqing back to me! My Xiqing was so happy going to her wedding, and she worked so hard to get out of this quagmire. Why...why do you want to take away her life?"
"Gu Xiqing, how can you take away someone else's life without feeling guilty?! Give me back my Xiqing!"
"Give it back!"
Shen Xiang was very angry, but the strength in her hands was not very strong.
Gu Xiqing raised her hand and placed it on hers. Looking at her red eyes, she forced a smile and said, "Give me the D01 potion. When Dai Qian's matter is over, I will return her to you."
