Chapter 450: Darkness Is Pain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Lets go there,” Gu Zheng said.
Qiao Xi nodded her head and followed Gu Zheng inside.
The more she walked, the heavier her heart became.
Old Madam Gus courtyard was already remote enough, but Gu Zhengs courtyard was still a long walk away.
Moreover, the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, not like a place
where people lived.
Although Gu Zheng was an illegitimate child, he was Gu Weimings only son when he returned to the Gu family.
Even if he didnt like this son of his, he shouldnt have built Gu Zhengs courtyard in such a remote place.
This should be the northernmost courtyard of the Gu familys old residence.
It seemed like no one had ever come to clean it.
There were two large bare trees at the entrance, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
There was no maple tree as expected.
Qiao Xi looked up and saw a small two-story building in front of her.
Even though she wasnt a professional architect, she could still see the oddness of this small building.
The color of the building was gray.
It looked just like an unfinished house.
This… was where Gu Zheng lived since he was young
Every courtyard in the Gu familys old residence was decorated luxuriously.
In order to show off the Gu familys prestige, even the servants quarters were exquisitely decorated.
However, the place where Gu Zheng lived was so dilapidated.
Qiao Xis heart was filled with doubt as she followed Gu Zhengs footsteps.
She was just about to enter when she heard waves of knocking sounds coming from inside.
They seemed to be doing renovation work
This was Gu Zhengs courtyard.
Without his permission, who would come here to mess about
Qiao Xi pushed open the door and walked in.
She instantly frowned.
“Who are you What are you doing!”
A few people were hammering on the windows.
Some of the windows were already covered by thick wooden planks, leaving only two or three windows on the second floor.
Gu Zhengs eyes were cold, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Qiao Xi was extremely furious.
“How audacious of you! Who allowed you to seal these windows!”
One of the middle-aged men turned around and looked at Qiao Xi with a lofty gaze.
“Whats with the noise! Im doing this for my good nephew, Gu Zheng! Isnt he sick The doctor said that he cant see the light due to his illness.
Once I heard about this, I quickly brought people over to seal all the windows here so that he wouldnt be uncomfortable staying here!
“President Gu, am I right”
Gu Zhengs lifeless eyes gradually focused and burst forth with raging fury.
However, the middle-aged man was still arrogant.
“Tell me, youve been living here since you were young.
Why did you go out What if you hurt others when your illness relapses Youd better stay here obediently.
Dont worry, I guarantee that not even a ray of light can penetrate this place!”
This was Gu Zhengs uncle
No, no, it was Huang Lilans brother
Qiao Xis eyes darkened.
Was this woman crazy It seemed like Gu Weiming had not divorced her yet, so this woman was too free!
She suppressed the anger in her heart and rushed forward to snatch the hammer from one of them.
“Let me tell you.
If any of you dare to do anything today, this hammer in my hand will be used on you! Do you believe me! Ill be sure to teach you a lesson today!”
Huang Lilans younger brother, Huang Wei, got a fright.
“It was Madam Gu who asked me to do this.
You…”
“What If you dont believe me, then come and give it a try! You said that Gu Zheng is a lunatic, so you should know that if I could marry Gu Zheng, that means Im not a good person either!”
Qiao Xi picked up the hammer and smashed it heavily on the ground, instantly creating a deep pit.
She opened her mouth and threatened, “I dont know if all of you will be able to endure a strike of this hammer!”
Everyone shuddered as they looked at the pit on the ground.
They seemed to have imagined their own heads being smashed in and hurriedly fled.
Qiao Xi turned around and shouted loudly, “Tell Huang Lilan that todays matter isnt over!”
Huang Wei was frightened by Qiao Xs fierce gaze.
He staggered and fell to the ground, but he didnt hesitate.
He got up and continued running.
Gu Zheng didnt move an inch.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the pain was destroying his rationality.
From the moment he entered the door, he could no longer control himself.
This was not the first time he had seen such a scene.
He had faced these kinds of things since his childhood.
He had lived here since he was young, after all.
To him, darkness was pain.
However, those people knew that he would lose his sight in the dark.
They even cut off the power source and nailed the windows.
They were happy to see him struggle in the dark..
