Capítulo 24: Gu Jue Misunderstood
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"My best friend?"
Su Jing's eyes flashed with bewilderment.
Fang Ke looked helpless, "That's right, have you forgotten? I'm the only one who truly treats you as a friend. Someone must be jealous of us, so they spread rumors to destroy our relationship."
Hearing this, Su Jing let out a sigh.
Fang Ke looked at Su Jing and thought she had changed her mind. Fang Ke laughed and thought to herself, 'What an idiot, how could she be so gullible!'
"I initially wanted to save your face, but you didn't want it. I didn't hear those things from other people, but I have evidence." There was a hint of animosity in Su Jing's eyes, but they quickly returned to normal.
Fang Ke's smiling face froze. This was different from what she expected.
"Don't pester me anymore, or I will take the evidence to the court and sue you for fraud. The money you cheated me out of is enough for you to spend eight to ten years in prison."
Fang Ke's hands were shaking. She wanted to pull Su Jing's shoulders, "Jingjing, this is all a misunderstanding. I can explain..."
Fang Ke looked distressed. Su Jing avoided her hand and saw Gu Jue driving her Porsche over.
Su Jing was annoyed by Fang Ke's pestering, but she still waved at Gu Jue happily, "Little Jue!"
Then, she ignored Fang Ke and ran toward Gu Jue.
Gu Jue parked the car in front of her and got out of the car to stand in front of Su Jing, "You're off work so early? I thought I would arrive earlier than you."
Su Jing looked behind her and covered her mouth as she said softly, "Something happened today. I'll tell you about it when I get back. I ran into a person that I hate so much, and I can't get rid of her."
"Get in the car. Let's go back." Gu Jue went to the passenger's side and opened the door for Su Jing.
Su Jing saw that Fang Ke was about to follow her, and she pointed at her, "Don't bother me again. Otherwise, I'll see you in court!"
Fang Ke stopped in her tracks and did not dare to go forward. Gu Jue also got into the car. The two of them left Fang Ke behind.
On the way, Su Jing and Gu Jue started chatting.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Su Jing tilted her head to look at him.
According to the timeline in the original book, Gu Jue had been framed by his stepmother Qi Yi and had been driven out of the house. He did not have any savings and could not even afford to pay for his school fees.
Later on, he would meet Lin Yi. Lin Yi would discover his design talent and sponsor him to complete his studies.
Because of this, he fell madly in love with Lin Yi, resulting in a series of tragedies.
Su Jing wanted to sponsor Gu Jue so that he would stay away from the male and female leads and so that he wouldn't end up in a miserable state.
"Me?" Gu Jue was slightly taken aback.
Su Jing nodded her head, "That's right, like finishing school or something."
She was already hinting at it so hard, trying to steer the topic towards school.
Hearing this, Gu Jue's expression darkened. His face was filled with disappointment and indifference.
Was Su Jing trying to chase him away?
Gu Jue felt a slow pain in his heart. He tried his best to please her, but in the end, it was useless. As expected, no one would like him. He didn't deserve love in this world.
"I understand what you mean," Gu Jue tried his best to pick up a pale smile. His hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white, "I'll send you home and leave. I won't disturb you again."
What did this have to do with anything? Su Jing was shocked. This kid was too sensitive. Did he misunderstand that she wanted to chase him away?
"I have no intention of asking you to leave," Su Jing quickly explained, "I only saw that you were still so young and thought that you were still studying, so I asked you about your plans for the future. I was worried that you have problems that you can't solve."
"Future? I can't even live well in the present. How could I dare to dream for something so far away?"
Gu Jue's eyes trembled. When he lifted his head, his eyes were filled with confusion. He looked like an abandoned little animal, weak and innocent.
Su Jing's heart ached. She reached out her hand and touched his hair, "Yes, you can!"
Gu Jue turned to look at her. His eyes seemed to glow.
