Jiang Xiangxue slowly shook her head and sighed, but the corners of her lips kept smiling.
"What good does this do to you?" Gu Nian stared at her. Was Jiang Xiangxue crazy?
"You also know that the Chu family has been hiding this matter. You just used this matter to threaten them. Even if you eventually marry into the Chu family, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you?" Gu Nian asked back.
In her opinion, Xiang Yulan and Chu Jiahong were not very magnanimous people who could swallow their anger even when threatened.
"As far as I know, you are the only daughter in the Jiang family. This is why Chu Zhaoyang's parents like you. In the future, everything in the Jiang family will be inherited by you, and you will be the one to bring it into the Chu family. Even if you try your best not to give the Jiang family's property to the Chu family, but when the time comes, you will be alone, are you sure you will be the Chu family's opponent?"
Seeing Jiang Xiangxue's expression stiffened, Gu Nian said: "Chu Zhaoyang doesn't like you and won't treat you well. If you threaten his parents, their parents won't help you if anything happens. If you marry in, you won't be able to do anything. You won't get any benefits. Jiang Xiangxue, what are you trying to do?"
"I hurt others without benefiting myself, and I'm happy." Jiang Xiangxue's smile looked like there was a hint of madness in it, "I just don't want to see that he is so nervous about you, and doesn't take anyone else seriously except you. I don't want to see guys happy!"
"What do you, a little policeman, have compare to me? Why do you compete with me? You actually surpassed me." Jiang Xiangxue said, her face getting crazier, "Tell me, how can you compare to me? I am better than you in everything, no one can compare with me! Whether Chu Zhaoyang likes you or not, he is blind! In this case, I will correct it. As long as I am here, you can't even think about being together. I'm going to make him pay for his blindness!"
Gu Nian looked at Jiang Xiangxue in shock and shook her head in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Just because of this, you have to do this? You would rather lose yourself than make others miserable. Jiang Xiangxue, you have a mental problem."
Jiang Xiangxue smiled carelessly: "Whatever you say, I just want you to know that compared with me, you will always be a loser."
Jiang Xiangxue stood up and looked at Gu Nian condescendingly: "Gu Nian, let me tell you, I am engaged to Chu Zhaoyang, and he will be my man from now on. You stay away from my man and don't get entangled with him again, otherwise this will happen. The video will be there for everyone to see."
Gu Nian's lips trembled with anger. She stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Jiang Xiangxue's words just now, "He will be my man from now on, please stay away from my man" made Gu Nian's heart feel as painful as being stabbed by a cone.
After walking out of the coffee shop, Gu Nian walked quickly a little further, then staggered and slowed down, raising her hands to cover her chest.
She knew in her heart that Chu Zhaoyang would not be sorry to her. With a character like his, how could he be a person who changes his mind at random?
If he wanted to be with Jiang Xiangxue, he would have been together from the beginning, why wait until now?
But she couldn't stop the pain in her heart. As soon as she thought about the slightest possibility that Chu Zhaoyang would become someone else's, her heart ached.
Finally, Gu Nian was so heartbroken that she didn't even have the strength to walk, so she simply stopped, holding on to the wall, her back slightly stooped.
Jiang Xiangxue held Chu Zhaoyang's past in her hands, and even if she wanted to do something, she couldn't do anything about it.
Jiang Xiangxue didn't care, but she did.
She didn't want Chu Zhaoyang to get hurt again. Such a proud man should continue to be proud.
He was handsome and charming, his scenery was brilliant, and he was restrained and dignified.
She didn't want him to close himself off, not to be laughed at by others, not to be the subject of other people's gossip, not to be criticized, not to have his privacy exposed in the sun, and not to have his scars exposed.
Gu Nian blinked, burning tears rolled down from her eyes.
She took a deep, choked breath, straightened her back and walked forward.
Far behind her, at the door of the SeeU coffee shop, Jiang Xiangxue was looking at her back with a crazy and cold smile on her lips.
She made a phone call: "Follow Gu Nian and see where she is going."
***
Gu Nian walked unconsciously for a while before realizing that she should take a taxi back to Lanyuan.
So, she waited on the side of the road for a while and hailed a taxi.
She went back to Lanyuan and entered the door.
Gu Nian was stunned at the entrance.
She didn't change her shoes and looked around the entrance carefully.
She thought that if...she might not have the chance to come in the future.
"Gu Nian, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Yu came over when she heard the door open, and saw Gu Nian standing in the entrance hall in a daze.
It looked like...as if she will never come again.
Nanny Yu felt something in her heart.
Gu Nian came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing."
She raised her legs to go in, but when she saw Nanny Yu was hesitant to speak, she lowered her head and saw that she hadn't changed her shoes yet, so she changed her shoes again and went in with her slippers.
Looking around the living room carefully, she didn't miss even the corners on the ceiling, the reliefs on the ceiling, and every edge of the crystal lamp.
She carried all of these in her heart.
She won't come back in the future, but there were still things to remember.
Nanny Yu felt more and more something was wrong and asked worriedly: "Gu Nian, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Gu Nian was startled for a moment and turned her head, a little dazed.
"No." Gu Nian shook her head, "I'll go back to the room to rest for a while."
Then, she went to Chu Zhaoyang's room without thinking.
In the past, she felt that Chu Zhaoyang's room was unpopular, without even a little extra decoration, just like a model house provided by developers for consumers to visit.
But now, she couldn't even see enough of this cold room.
Touching every texture on the wardrobe carefully, she opened the door. Inside, Chu Zhaoyang's shirts and suits were hung neatly according to color, as well as windbreakers and jackets worn during this season.
She held the hem of one of the light blue shirts, lowered her head, put the shirt against the tip of her nose, and smelled it carefully.
In addition to the refreshing scent after washing, there was also a light mint scent, which was his smell.
After a while, Gu Nian let go, closed the wardrobe, and carefully lay down on Chu Zhaoyang's bed. She pulled the quilt up to her chin and buried the lower half of her face in it, with the tip of her nose touching the edge of the quilt. Smelling Chu Zhaoyang's breath.
As she smelled it, her breath gradually became unsteady and her breathing became trembling more and more violently.
Throat, eyes, and tip of nose all felt sour and warm pain.
The tears flowed out unknowingly, and all soaked into the quilt.
She was alone, hiding under the quilt. She couldn't help crying silently, and her trembling became more and more severe.
Until six o'clock, Nanny Yu knocked on the door a few times and said, "Gu Nian, have you slept? It's time to get up for dinner."
Gu Nian responded with a dull sound, stood up and saw the dark sky outside the window.
She got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face, her eyes still slightly red.
She thought for a while, took out her phone and called home: "Mom, I...worked overtime today and won't be going back tonight."
After talking to Mu Lanshu for a few words, she hung up the phone and opened the door.
Nanny Yu was standing at the door, looking at her hesitantly, as if she was hiding something.
"Nanny Yu, what's wrong?" Gu Nian asked suspiciously.
"No." Nanny Yu quickly shook her head, "It's okay, come out to eat quickly."
Gu Nian lowered her head and saw that Nanny Yu still had a phone in her hand.
A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Nian's mind: "Nanny Yu, is there some news on the Internet?"
Nanny Yu panicked and immediately shook her head: "No! There's nothing. Come and eat quickly. Come on."
"Nanny Yu, have you forgotten what I do?" Gu Nian weakly pulled her lower lip, showing an unsmiling smile, lowered her head, picked up her phone and surfed the Internet.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Nanny Yu said, "Gu Nian, there must be some misunderstanding. You must believe Sir. I have been working in this family for a long time. Ever since I came here, Sir has been alone, except for Young Miss Chu comes here often, and Mrs. Chu comes here occasionally, but no other woman has ever come here. Sir by no means the kind of casual person. Over the years, I have only seen him being attracted to you."
"I know, I believe in him." Gu Nian became even more sure when Nanny Yu said this.
Hence, the keyword "Chu Zhaoyang's engagement" was directly searched.
Soon, she saw the news. The media stated that Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue would hold an engagement ceremony at the Shengyue Hotel next Saturday, and invitations would be sent to the media.
Media with invitations could enter.
Gu Nian took a deep breath and turned off the news: "Nanny Yu, let's eat."
Nanny Yu didn't dare to ask a word, for fear that Gu Nian was pretending to be calm and if she asked, Gu Nian would be unable to hold back her emotions.
Nanny Yu went to the kitchen to serve food. Gu Nian wanted to help, but Nanny Yu refused to let her go and just let her sit there.
