Chapter 31 Rumors
"We need to talk."

After Gu Chuan said this, Shen Xing nodded as usual and smiled, "Okay."

The old lady asked with concern: "Is there anything you want to talk about?"

Gu Chuan said: "It's a work matter, grandma, don't worry."

The old lady heard that Shen Xing was starting a business recently, and Gu Chuan must be more familiar with the work than Shen Xing. It would be a good thing for Shen Xing to learn from Gu Chuan.

The most uneasy person present was Song Xueying.

She didn't know why Gu Chuan suddenly looked for Shen Xing, but she guessed it must be because of Chu Yan. Since Gu Chuan found Shen Xing, it meant that Gu Chuan must care about the relationship between Shen Xing and Chu Yan.

But the question is, when Gu Chuan looked for Shen Xing, was he standing on the standpoint of a relative and not wanting Shen Xing to be used by others, or was he standing on the standpoint of Chu Yan and caring about the fact that Chu Yan had a relationship with another man?

Song Xueying didn’t know the answer, and of course, she didn’t dare to ask for the answer.

The moment the study door closed, the air instantly condensed.

Gu Chuan looked indifferent, "Leave Chu Yan."

Shen Xing found it funny, and he did laugh, "Why do you ask me to leave Yanyan?"

"You used improper means to be with Chu Yan." Gu Chuan said word by word, clearly: "I investigated what happened before. After Chu Yan woke up, you deliberately misled her and made her think that you were..."

Gu Chuan couldn't say the word "I". He was silent for a while and said, "From the beginning, the fact that you were with her was a lie. I can't watch Chu Yan being deceived by you."

"So, you want Yanyan to remember everything and go back to the painful days before?"

Gu Chuan said: "She will look forward."

"Like you?" Shen Xing smiled. In the eyes of many people, he was a carefree young man, but now he had a sharp edge. "Cousin, not everyone in this world can give up seven years of love like you and move forward. Of course, from my point of view, I hope you can move forward."

Shen Xing said: "Have you forgotten? When you and your secretary were having a hot relationship, what kind of life was Yanyan living?"

"You must not know how many people have laughed at her since the day you broke up with her."

Shen Xing's words made Gu Chuan pause slightly.

Seven years.

Chu Yan and Gu Chuan have been together for seven years.

Many of their mutual classmates and friends have married and had children in the past seven years. Every time Chu Yan attends a wedding, someone would ask her when she and Gu Chuan would get married.

Those people seemed enthusiastic, but when they turned their backs, they would laugh at Chu Yan for thinking she had found a rich man, but in fact she was just a mistress kept outside by the rich young master.

Otherwise, why have they been together for seven years, and the Gu family has never let go of any news to clear Chu Yan's name.

Later, many people knew that Gu Chuan had an affair with a young intern. It was said that Mr. Gu, who treated everyone equally, was particularly caring towards this intern.

When an intern sprained her ankle, it was Gu Chuan who took her to the hospital. When an intern was harassed at a social event, it was Gu Chuan who blocked the alcohol for her.

The intern was emotionally distressed and went to the bar to get drunk, where she was almost molested. It was Gu Chuan who showed up in time, carried her drunkenly on his back, and sent her to the hotel.

Many people said that something must have happened between them in the hotel. Even though the intern explained that nothing happened, the reputation of her as the future Mrs. Gu still spread.

No one cares whether the rumor is true or false. What they care about is that they have something to talk about after dinner.

As for Mr. Gu’s girlfriend who he’s been dating for many years?

So what does that matter?

But they had never seen Gu Chuan bring anyone to the company.

Later, news came out that Gu Chuan was dating Song Xueying. For Song Xueying, he was determined to break with his family. Doesn't this just prove that the so-called ex-girlfriend was just a plaything for a rich young man to kill time?
Of course, Gu Chuan would not know about these rumors because no one dared to speak of them in front of him, and even though Chu Yan was at the center of the rumors, she had never spoken of them to him.

Shen Xing smiled and said, "So many people said that you and your secretary went into the hotel, but I never saw you explain it, cousin."

"I just sent her to the hotel to rest. I didn't do anything inappropriate with her."

Gu Chuan is not the kind of person who would start a new relationship before ending the previous one. He is in the whirlpool of fame and fortune at a young age. If he doesn't even have this little self-control, it would only be denying the education he has received over the years and his personality.

Gu Chuan was slightly dazed, "She believed it at that time?"

Shen Xing said: "She believed it."

Gu Chuan's breathing was slightly stagnant, as if someone was strangling his throat and a feeling of suffocation was tormenting him.

He didn't even realize when Chu Yan lost her trust in him.

Was it when the engagement he promised didn't happen, or when his promise to give her the grandest wedding became empty talk?
Or maybe, because of work and tedious tasks, he became slower and slower in replying to her messages, and her missed calls increased.

Or maybe it was just that simple one time when she untied his tie, smelled his scent, and complained: "You smell so strongly of alcohol and cigarettes. Can you use less of these things? It's not good for your health."

His reply was full of fatigue and impatience, "Yan Yan, these are things you have to deal with in the business world."

As if she could see his emotions, she restrained her concerned look and did not mention the matter again.

During those years, Gu Chuan worked desperately, wanting to gain more recognition and increase the company's market value. This was because he naively thought that as long as he proved his worth, he would be qualified to ask his parents to make concessions and be willing to accept Chu Yan.

No one expected that the person Gu Chuan finally brought back home was another girl. He stopped drinking and smoking, and even called to report every time he came home late, all because of that girl.

He suddenly realized that everything he had done wrong with Chu Yan was corrected with Song Xueying, as if there was a mysterious force that ended his seven-year relationship with Chu Yan in order to make him a more qualified lover when he started his next relationship.

Gu Chuan inexplicably fell into a state of extreme confusion.

"If you really remember those seven years and still have a conscience, then live your own life with Song Xueying and don't bother us." Shen Xing said: "I can also tell you clearly that even if Yanyan recovers her memory, even if she hates me, I will not let go."

He walked away, leaving Gu Chuan standing there alone.
