Chapter 557  : She placed all her hopes of turning things around on her daughter

Gu Chu divided the peeled oranges into four portions. She handed the largest one to Gu manxi, the second one to Ming Dongmei, and the smallest one to Thomas.

uncle Thomas, I have something to ask you. Gu Chu ate a piece of orange and asked tentatively, ” there’s a drug called v18 that’s not on sale in China. Is this your daughter’s doing as well? ”

Thomas’s face darkened.

Thomas’s tone was stiff. it’s my idea. Due to business reasons, I won’t sell the important drugs to China.

“Business factors?” Gu Chu blinked.

Thomas obviously didn’t want to talk more. The Chinese market had huge potential. He originally had important trade relations with the country, but Cheng Qi had angered him, and Thomas had left the Chinese market in a fit of anger. The important special medicine v18 was not to be sold to China!

Recently, Thomas even found out that Cheng Qi had been hospitalized for a heart and lungs injury. Thomas even secretly cursed, ” he deserves it.

Without the V18 drug, Cheng Qi would definitely have to suffer for a longer period of time.

“This is a business matter, don’t ask about it.” Thomas’s attitude was cold.

Gu manxi glanced at Thomas. I’m a little tired. You can leave first. I want to sleep for a while.

Thomas turned around, still worried about Gu manxi’s injury. manxi, I’m also responsible for your injury this time. Let me make it up to you. I’ll take good care of you …

“Ahem, uncle Thomas.” Gu Chu reminded her, ” my father will probably arrive in new York tonight. He might not be happy if he sees you staying in my mother’s ward.

Thomas frowned and hesitated.

He really couldn’t let go of Gu manxi, and he couldn’t let go of her all these years. Especially with Cheng Qingyun, this ugly woman, as a contrast, Gu manxi was even more beautiful like an angel.

However, Gu manxi was already married and had a child. She had a man who loved her by her side …

Thomas’s heart was filled with infinite melancholy, and he could only blame the fault on Cheng Qingyun. If this woman had not been so cunning and deceived his feelings, perhaps his relationship with Gu manxi would not have been so stiff, and he might have had a chance to win her over.

Thomas got up and left the ward reluctantly.

Ming Dongmei awkwardly consoled Gu manxi and pulled Gu Chu’s hand, asking Gu Chu to visit Ming Dongmei’s mansion when she was free. Gu Chu agreed readily. The old man in his sixties then left the ward with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

new York, the Thomas family’s residential area.

With red eyes, Amy told Cheng Qingyun the whole story.

“Mother!” Amy pouted and said angrily, ” you don’t even know how annoying that Gu Chu is! She beat up my bodyguard and me, then pretended to be beaten up and caused my father to lock me up!”

After listening to her daughter’s story, Cheng Qingyun sighed, ” I’ve told you long ago that Gu manxi is not a simple woman. Her child is even more so.

Cheng Qingyun was now so thin that only a handful of bones were left. Her skin was sallow, her hair had fallen off, and she was wearing tattered clothes. There was no shadow of her peerless beauty from back then at all. For more than ten years, she had lived a life worse than a pig or a dog in the Thomas family. She had endless work to do every day and was beaten up by Thomas every three to five days.

After giving birth, Thomas didn’t allow the mother and daughter to meet.

Cheng Qingyun wasn’t willing to give up, and she had placed all her hopes of turning things around on this daughter.

She racked her brains to get close to Amy and tell her child about the sins she had suffered. Mother and daughter were connected, and Amy had become more and more extreme under her mother’s influence.
