Lu Shijie's expression turned sinister. He had been careless in being outsmarted by Gu Chuyun. He had always seen Gu Chuyun as a naive beauty, never expecting her to be a deceitful person.
"If you don't want to marry me, who do you want to marry? Lu Zhiyuan?" Lu Shijie sneered at her. "Did you know that Lu Zhiyuan once had a cat?"
Gu Ci naturally knew. It was a cat that Lin Zhi had given to Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Zhiyuan was particularly fond of that cat, but the cat, in turn, preferred Lu Shijie because he bought it many cans of food and kept peppermint plants in his room. Pets and people's emotions and preferences didn't always align. Over time, the cat became attached to Lu Shijie.
But one day, when Lu Zhiyuan came home from school, he watched helplessly as Lu Shijie killed his cat. Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Shijie got into a fight, and Lu Zhiyuan even knocked out one of Lu Shijie's front teeth.
