Chapter 226 Confession
Jiang Mo followed his gaze and looked at her wrist.
On her slender white wrist, a silver bracelet shined simply, it was the one Xu Jingtong brought back to her.
Jiang Mo gently stroked the bracelet and opened her mouth, but made no sound.
Gu Jichen didn't push her and waited quietly. No matter she wanted to say it or not, he would accept it.
To his delight, she did.
"This bracelet belongs to my mother. I gave it to her on her birthday." Jiang Mo's voice was very soft. "I grew up in a single-parent family, but my mother has always been very good to me. She He loves me very much and has never treated me materially. I have had enough pocket money since I was a child. I saved up money and bought this silver bracelet as a birthday gift for her. I still remember when my mother received this gift. She was very happy, hugging me and saying that her baby girl has grown up and knows how to care for her mother."
Jiang Mo still remembers her mother's happy smile when she received the gift.She was so gentle and bright, as if she had gotten the best thing in the world.
After that, my mother took off the gold and jade bracelets on her wrists and only wore this silver bracelet.And with regular maintenance and wiping, this silver bracelet always looks bright and shiny.She said it was a gift from her daughter and she had to keep it beautiful.
"Later, I filmed "Crying River"." At this point, Jiang Mo's voice deepened.She lowered her long eyelashes and sighed softly, "Then there were scandals about Liang Mingyu and I. They all said that I was a mistress and ruined other people's families."
"Of course I couldn't hide this from my mother, and she knew about it. In fact, I didn't pay much attention to it at first. I thought it was a scandal anyway, and I just wanted to explain it to my mother clearly. But my mother's reaction was beyond my imagination. She She was very angry, very angry, very sad, she scolded me so hard, and she was hysterical."
"That's when I learned about my father." After saying this, Jiang Mo raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jichen, who was sitting quietly opposite her, "I think Mr. Gu must have investigated some of the things in my family. ”
Indeed, after knowing that she was Lu Chengyi, Gu Jichen quickly investigated the messy affairs of the Lu family.
He knew that Lu Dongcheng and Jiang Mo's mother were married. Later, Lu Zihui's mother, Zhang Yulan, appeared. Everyone thought that Zhang Yulan was a mistress, but unexpectedly, Lu Dongcheng had been with Zhang Yulan for a long time, and gave birth to a child before Jiang Mo. Got Lu Qingwei.
Many people said that it turned out that Jiang Mo's mother was the mistress.
She couldn't accept this fact and was disheartened. She left the Lu family with Jiang Mo and moved to Zhoujiang to settle down.
Gu Jichen also sent someone to investigate Jiang Mo's mother, only to find out that she was from a southern province, her parents were both dead, she had some assets, and she was deceived by Lu Dongcheng.I heard that the start-up capital for Lu Dongcheng's business was the money from Jiang Mo's mother.For this money, he temporarily hid Zhang Yulan and stayed with Jiang Mo's mother.
"Then, has Mr. Gu investigated the cause of my mother's death?"
Zhoujiang is a small place, and many things cannot be hidden at all.At that time, Jiang Mo could do nothing but cry when faced with her dead mother.It was Grandma Zhou who found someone to lower her mother down from the top, send her to be cremated, and hold the funeral.
So Gu Jichen didn't need to look it up. He knew everything as soon as he asked his grandma.
"Sorry." Gu Jichen said.
"I just told you that after the scandal about me being a mistress came out, my mother and I had a big fight because she hated the mistress the most in her life. She believed that her marriage was ruined by the mistress, and she unintentionally , she actually became someone else's mistress. My mother is a proud and self-respecting person at heart, and she can't accept that her favorite daughter has become such an unbearable person."
Jiang Mo closed her eyes: "Later, Liang Mingyu's wife came to my home and showed my mother a lot of content from when Liang Mingyu and I were filming on the set, which further confirmed the rumors about the mistress. After I went back that day, my mother beat me , smashed many things in the house and threw away the bracelet."
It was raining that day, pouring down, and the howling rain could not cover up the mother's howl of anger. She yelled at the top of her lungs: "How could I have such a shameless daughter like you!"
After yelling, she started to cry. The person who was used to being clean and neatly dressed every day sat there with her hair disheveled and imageless, like a crazy woman.
She kept scolding herself and talking about her failed life.I'm sorry for her family. She didn't listen to advice and blindly chose a scumbag, which cost her her whole life. Even her last refuge, her precious daughter, turned out to be such a shameless thing. Her whole life was terrible. What a failure.
"When my mother threw this bracelet, she shouted to me - What am I doing with this thing? She was probably talking about me, what is she doing with a daughter like me? She wanted to throw me away, she didn't want me anymore, just It’s like I don’t want this bracelet anymore.”
After her mother passed away, Jiang Mo thought she had been completely abandoned.
But yesterday, Xu Jingtong brought the bracelet back and told her that he found the table in a home of a timber businessman.My aunt used to be a piano teacher in that family's house, and she accidentally left this table there during class.
My aunt was a nice person, and the student liked her very much. When he found out that his aunt passed away, he cried a lot and put the bracelet away as a thought.
"The girl said that her aunt borrowed a towel from her that day and wiped the bracelet back and forth many times in the bathroom until there was no dirt on it. She also asked why the bracelet was dirty, and the aunt said it was She did something wrong and she shouldn't have thrown away her gift."
"So, Jiang Mo, my aunt has not abandoned you, nor has she abandoned you. She has always loved you." Xu Jingtong hugged Jiang Mo and comforted her.
At this point, Jiang Mo's eyes felt a little sour again. She blinked and pushed back the tears: "Mr. Gu, in the final analysis, I was the cause of my mother's death. I would rather she forgive me." She always hates me. I feel sorry for her, I don’t deserve to be loved by her, and she deserves to hate me.”
"No, Jiang Mo, you are worth it." Gu Jichen shook his head and corrected her, "Don't take all the blame on yourself. That situation was caused by many factors, not you alone. Don't give There is too much pressure on yourself, let alone completely denying yourself for it.”
"I've heard too many words like this in the past. People who know the truth basically advise me like this." Jiang Mo blinked slowly and looked at him in confusion, "But I can't do it. Sometimes when I close my eyes, I think of my mother's tragic situation. I also want to get out of the past and look forward, but I can't. How can I let go of the weight of a life so easily?"
She leaned on the chair and smiled slowly: "Mr. Gu, it seems that I don't have any secrets to keep from you. It seems that I have been stripped clean by you, so I might as well strip myself clean again." Be cleaner.”
There were some words that she had never said to anyone before, but now, she suddenly wanted to say them to Gu Jichen.
She simply wanted to find an outlet to talk, and Gu Jichen was undoubtedly the best candidate, because in front of him, she no longer had to pretend.
He knew her past and that she was sick, so she didn't need to pretend that she was living a good life, nor did she need to pretend that she was optimistic and cheerful and loved life.
"I actually want to die."
