Chapter 50: His Car Almost Hit Gu Zhiyan’s

The moment Wu Yue saw the Weibo post, a flash of black bark roses from the engagement ceremony suddenly appeared in his mind.

Actually, those were Jian Yao’s favorite flowers.

Low-key yet passionate.

Just like her.

However, Lu Chengze preferred light colors, so those intense hues never appeared in Jian Yao’s life again.

As a result, he didn’t recognize them immediately when he saw them that day.

Even the flowers originally ordered for the engagement ceremony were white roses, Lu Chengze’s favorite.

But he had also seen the same roses in Gu Zhiyan’s Weibo post.

He had a rose garden, filled with black bark roses.

Wu Yue held his phone, his fingertips trembling.

So, the black bark roses used at the engagement ceremony were likely planted by Gu Zhiyan himself?

All those years, he had been constantly surpassing Brother Lu, was it all because of Jian Yao?

He had actually been thinking about Jian Yao for a long time?

He had been lurking in the shadows for all these years, just waiting for this day?

The thought made Wu Yue’s heart sink.

Having a competitor like Gu Zhiyan was terrifying!

Nine pictures, starting from Jian Yao’s makeup and ending with the engagement ceremony, captured every moment.

The date of the Weibo post also matched perfectly.

Lu Chengze’s gaze fixed on the middle picture.

Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan looked at each other, and even through the screen, one could sense Gu Zhiyan’s desire for Jian Yao.

Lu Chengze sneered.

No wonder she didn’t wait for him to return, no wonder she didn’t answer his calls or reply to his messages, no wonder she resigned so resolutely.

It turned out she had already found a way out.

Lu Chengze felt a chill in his heart, his limbs stiffening.

“I need to see her.”

He had to ask Jian Yao in person.

He wouldn’t believe anyone else!

Lu Chengze suddenly stood up, so abruptly that he felt dizzy and had to grab the table to steady himself.

Wu Yue exclaimed, supporting him from the side, “Brother Lu, are you alright?”

Lu Chengze pushed his hand away and strode towards the door.

Worried, Wu Yue quickly followed.

In the corner, Liu Yiyi held her lunchbox, looking at the empty office, and let out a bitter laugh.

Jian Yao had actually married Gu Zhiyan!

The man she dared not even dream of.

How could Jian Yao do that?

She was so stupid, always being tricked by her, how could she possibly do that?

Was it because she came from a good family?

Was it because she was born lucky?

She had finally managed to stay by Lu Chengze’s side and drive her out of Lu’s company.

She thought she had finally won against Jian Yao once.

It turned out she had been a joke all along.

Liu Yiyi raised her head, trying to keep the tears from falling.

She took out her phone, found Jian Yao’s number, and sent a message using her second SIM card.

On the other side, Jian Yao sat in the car, watching the speeding cars outside, her mind filled with Gu Zhiyan’s words from earlier.

“If I told you that night wasn’t a coincidence, would you believe me?”

Jian Yao didn’t understand what he meant.

If Xu Si hadn’t been in Paris that night, she wouldn’t have gone to the bar alone to drink.

She had even chosen the location randomly, not the one frequented by the second generation of Beijing, how could it not be a coincidence?

Jian Yao held her phone, lost in thought.

The phone in her palm suddenly vibrated, a message from an unfamiliar yet not entirely unknown number.

“Lu Chengze knows you’re married and went to find you.”

The message above this one was the same one that Liu Yiyi used to provoke her last time.

The number was identical.

Looking at the Lu Corporation building outside the window, Jian Yao’s brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Yiyi was certainly not being kind by helping her.

She just didn’t want her to meet Lu Chengze.

Unfortunately, she was a step too late.

She and Gu Zhiyan were already at the Lu Corporation building, and the apartment she bought for convenience was in the neighborhood nearby.

Meeting was inevitable.

Jian Yao didn’t even think about hiding.

She lived here, and encountering Lu Chengze coming and going was unavoidable.

Besides, she was openly married; why should she act like she was having an affair and avoid her ex-brother-in-law?

Oh, no, it was her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her in a very unpleasant way.

If she could take this opportunity to clear things up with Lu Chengze completely, it would be a final farewell to her teenage years.

Only…

Looking at Gu Zhiyan beside her, Jian Yao felt she should warn him.

But she struggled with how to say it.

After all, the relationship between Gu Zhiyan and Lu Chengze was also a bit tangled and complicated.

Jian Yao nervously tapped her fingers, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, calming her anxiety before speaking.

“There’s something I think I need to tell you…”

As she finished speaking, the car she was in was abruptly stopped by another black car.

Due to the emergency braking, Jian Yao’s body lurched forward. If not for the safety belt, she might have hit the car.

Gu Zhiyan stopped the car and immediately looked at Jian Yao beside him, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you alright?”

Jian Yao was indeed startled, but she was fine.

She patted her chest and shook her head, indicating that she was okay.

Gu Zhiyan narrowed his captivating eyes and looked at the black Maybach in front of him, his voice unusually filled with a clear anger.

This anger wasn’t directed at Jian Yao, but at the car in front of them.

“If you’re talking about Lu Chengze, I think you don’t need to say anything.”

Because he was already here.

Wu Yue knew Lu Chengze was a bit crazy right now, but he didn’t expect him to be this crazy!

He also didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence!

He actually encountered Gu Zhiyan’s car on the road.

Gu Corporation was in the opposite direction from Lu Corporation, and Gu Zhiyan’s car being here early in the morning meant he was here for Jian Yao.

The moment Lu Chengze saw Gu Zhiyan’s car, he actually grabbed the steering wheel and drove towards Gu Zhiyan’s car.

God knows, he was almost scared out of his wits at that moment!

If Gu Zhiyan hadn’t been driving steadily and hadn’t been going fast, and if he hadn’t stepped on the brakes in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After all, crashing from this direction would have caused the most serious injuries to the driver’s seat.

That was Gu Zhiyan!

Playing with Lu Corporation was as easy as stepping on an ant.

Wu Yue was still in shock in the car when Lu Chengze had already opened the door and got out with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing Jian Yao sitting in the passenger seat through the car window, Wu Yue wanted to bang his head against the steering wheel.

However, his body instinctively pulled the car away, chasing after Lu Chengze at the fastest speed he had ever driven in his life, holding Lu Chengze tightly.

“Brother Lu, calm down, talk things out.”

“Jian Yao is not a reckless person, maybe there’s a misunderstanding, let’s be calm.”

In the car, Jian Yao looked up and saw Lu Chengze getting out of the car opposite her, her scalp tingling, and a surge of anger rushed to her head.

Almost!

His car almost hit Gu Zhiyan!
