Space: Super Agricultural Tycoon

Chapter 8: Rebirth

Mr. and Mrs. Gu stood anxiously outside the closed door. Mrs. Gu was still unsure and asked, "Dear, did I really not hit our daughter on the head earlier?"

Mr. Gu shook his head, even more uncertain now. "If you really didn't hit her on the head, then why did she suddenly change her mind?"

They were glad their daughter seemed to have had a change of heart. However, her sudden and desperate crying made their hearts ache, and the strange things she said, like talking about death, made them even more worried.

They could hear faint crying from inside the room. Mrs. Gu tried to hold back her tears but eventually knocked on the door, asking with concern, "Daughter, are you okay? Don't scare Mom."

Mr. Gu also showed worry. "Come on, say something."

The abnormal behavior of their daughter was deeply troubling. They exchanged a look of mutual understanding and Mr. Gu took a deep breath. "Daughter, open the door. We need to talk more. If you truly love that man and want to be with him, your mother and I will agree. But, dear, that man is not worth committing your life to. He..."

Before he could finish, the door creaked open. Gu Qingming, with swollen eyes and a calm expression, spoke quietly, "Mom, Dad, you're right. Lin Haotian is not worth my commitment. I was blinded before, but now I see clearly."

Hearing this sudden change in their daughter's attitude, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were even more anxious. Mrs. Gu nervously asked, "Are you really okay? Please don't do anything drastic! We only have you as our daughter. If something happens to you, what will we do?"

Mrs. Gu's concern grew as she held her daughter's hand tightly. "If you really want to be with that man, as long as you're alive and well, your father and I will agree."

"Mom!" Gu Qingming, with tearful eyes, reassured her, "Please don't be upset. I'm fine, and I won't do anything drastic. I just had a moment of clarity."

Mrs. Gu, still doubtful and anxious, asked, "Are you really okay, dear?"

Her heart was uneasy. One moment, her daughter was adamant about being with that man, even severing ties with her parents. The next moment, she was denouncing him as a scoundrel. Mrs. Gu was worried this was a tactic to backtrack.

Seeing her mother's expression, Gu Qingming guessed her worries and took a deep breath. "Mom, I really have come to my senses. You don't need to worry. I won't be deceived by that man again. I just need some rest now."

Mr. Gu, seeing his wife's distress and knowing she needed rest, said, "Alright, daughter. Your mother and I will leave you to rest. We'll talk more later."

He then turned to Mrs. Gu, "Dear, you're wet from the rain and you've used the mop. You haven't had the ginger soup yet. Let's go get you warm."

With that, Mr. Gu led Mrs. Gu away. Gu Qingming watched them go, feeling a mix of emotions.

Despite knowing her parents' deep love for each other, she couldn't help feeling neglected. After all, she had just gone through a painful breakup. Wasn't she still their beloved daughter?

After her parents left, Gu Qingming closed the door and leaned against it, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. She was confused about how she had returned to this moment, the time she was driven out of her home.

She cried uncontrollably. She was no longer fooled by the deceitful man and woman. Two years of romance and three years of marriage had been part of a well-crafted plot. Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei, driven by her status as the only child of Gu Ji Group, had schemed to use her as a stepping stone to their success. They had deceived her with a carefully constructed facade, leading her into a trap.
