Chapter 52: She Seems to Be With Sheng Yu

Gu Linchuan turned his head, and when he saw who it was, his face instantly changed color, like an overturned paint palette.

“Sheng, Sheng…”

“Cousin?” Ji Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng Yu suddenly pulled away from Gu Linchuan’s hand with force. The latter lost his balance and fell back into the chair behind him.

He looked down at him, his cold eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny and disdain.

Gu Linchuan unconsciously swallowed, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. “Mr. Sheng, it was her… she started it…”

He pointed a finger towards Qiao Shuyi.

“So?”

The man’s lips curled up in a faint smile.

Gu Linchuan gritted his teeth, lowered his eyes, and dared not meet his gaze.

This man was too imposing…

“She hit you, so she hit you. If you have a problem, come find me anytime.”

After saying that, Sheng Yu took Qiao Shuyi’s hand, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Just a few steps out, Qiao Shuyi suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned to look at Ji Yuan beside her.

“Miss Ji.”

Ji Yuan looked up in surprise.

“Sometimes, it’s important to be discerning when making friends. Some trash can disguise themselves as humans.”

After saying that, she ignored the two people behind her whose expressions were changing rapidly, took Sheng Yu’s hand, and left without looking back.

Gu Linchuan gritted his teeth, his anger and resentment surging like a tide.

But suddenly, his gaze fell on the hands they were holding together, and a strong shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

They…

Just then, Ji Yuan across from him suddenly stood up with her bag. “Mr. Gu, I suddenly remembered I have something to do tonight, so I’ll leave it here for now. Thank you for dinner.”

Hearing this, Gu Linchuan “swish” stood up and blocked her way. “Why? We were having a good time, weren’t we? Don’t listen to Qiao Shuyi’s nonsense. She harbors resentment towards me, so she said that!”

“Does that matter?”

Ji Yuan looked at him with a playful smile, her eyes filled with amusement. “I admit, you are indeed good-looking, and you know how to talk. At first, I was interested in you.”

“Then…”

“But my cousin doesn’t like you.” Ji Yuan gave a straightforward answer.

“The Sheng family is rich and powerful. Not to mention me, even my father has to watch his face.”

As Ji Yuan said this, she smiled slightly at Gu Linchuan, then bypassed her and left without looking back.

Gu Linchuan stood there for a moment, then slammed his fist on the table.

Qiao Shuyi!

Sheng Yu!

You wait for me!

…

Gu’s Family.

After selling the Wenxi Garden house, the Gu family of three moved into this large flat near the third ring road.

The house was over 200 square meters, and with a family of three plus a nanny, it was still very spacious and comfortable.

But Qin Shuang felt that everything was wrong, nothing was as good as their three-story villa before.

The longer she lived here, the greater the gap in her heart, and the more she missed her old life.

At this moment, after having dinner prepared by the nanny, she was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV absentmindedly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening at the entrance, followed by the nanny’s voice, “The young master is back.”

Linchuan is back?

Qin Shuang quickly got up to greet him, “Linchuan, why are you back so early? Why don’t you stay with Miss Ji a little longer…”

Qin Shuang’s words stopped abruptly when she saw Gu Linchuan’s gloomy expression.

“…What happened?”

“It’s over.” Gu Linchuan said expressionlessly.

“What’s over?”

“Me and Ji Yuan.”

“How is that possible? Weren’t you having a good time at lunch?”

“I ran into Qiao Shuyi while having dinner, and she ruined it.” Gu Linchuan said lightly.

Qin Shuang opened her mouth, and said angrily, “How could she do that?”

The next second, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and a glimmer of joy appeared in her eyes.

“Did she see you with Miss Ji and get jealous? I told you, she must still like you. After all, how can a relationship of ten years just disappear?”

Gu Linchuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn’t say a word.

“Without the Ji family, the Qiao family is also good. I’ll go to the Qiao family myself to see her tomorrow, and say some good things for you, and see if I can make a date with her… If things go well, you can get engaged again before the new year…”

Qin Shuang kept talking to herself, getting happier and happier, without noticing Gu Linchuan’s increasingly gloomy expression.

“Mom.”

Gu Linchuan couldn’t help but interrupt her. “It’s impossible for me and her. She… she seems to be with Sheng Yu.”

Qin Shuang was stunned, “Sheng Yu? The Sheng Yu from Shengshi Group?”

“Who else could it be?”

“How is that possible…”

“I saw them holding hands with my own eyes.”

Qin Shuang’s expression was blank. “She’s really with Sheng Yu. Before, I thought Sheng Tang was just making it up… Then, then what should we do now?”

“I don’t know either.”

Gu Linchuan shook his head, a deep sense of powerlessness surged through him.

How did things turn out like this?

…

After dinner, Qiao Shuyi and Sheng Yu went to the nearby cinema to watch a movie.

It was almost ten o’clock when they finished. Sheng Yu drove her back to the Qiao family.

The two of them inevitably got closer in the car again.

It wasn’t until another car passed by that Sheng Yu finally let go of her and opened the car door.

Qiao Shuyi, with her lips that were still glistening, quickly got out of the car, waved her hand, and ran back to the Qiao family without looking back.

She arrived home relatively early today. The lights on the first floor were still on, and the nanny, Chen Ma, was cleaning.

Qiao Shuyi simply greeted her and prepared to go upstairs.

But Chen Ma suddenly said, “Miss, a very beautiful young girl came to visit you this afternoon.”

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know her. She didn’t say who she was, and she left after knowing you weren’t home. She said she would come to see you again.”

“I see.” Qiao Shuyi nodded, turned around, and continued upstairs.

A very beautiful woman?

Looking for her?

Who could it be…

Qiao Shuyi thought back to all the young and beautiful girls she knew, but she couldn’t match any of them.

In the end, Qiao Shuyi didn’t bother to think about it anymore.
