After entering the sweet story, I became the vicious ex-girlfriend of the boss

Chapter 71 Double Standards
Human beings are creatures of double standards.

For example, in the first few years when Gu Chuan was with Chu Yan, he was willing to indulge all of Chu Yan's little willfulness. No matter how big or small the matter was, he wanted to arrange everything clearly for Chu Yan.

No matter how many people said that they were not suitable, he never wavered. In order to prevent those around him from hurting her, he even did not allow those people in his circle to contact her. She was like a princess protected in an ivory tower by him. She did not have to think about those annoying things. It was enough for her to have him around her.

But when she no longer loved him, Chu Yan's phone calls asking him where he was and why he hadn't come home became unreasonable.

He just thought that she had changed, so their relationship had come to an end, which was inevitable.

However, wasn't her "change" also his work?
Later, every time Gu Chuan left the house, he would remember to tell Song Xueying what he was going to do. Every time he came back late from a social event, he would remember to tell Song Xueying where he was. In order to stop those "inappropriate" voices, he took Song Xueying back to the Gu family and used a tough attitude to make Song Xueying accepted by everyone.

Gu Chuan seemed to have changed as well.

And now, Chu Yan can accept Shen Xing who deceived her, but will not give Gu Chuan a second chance. Isn't her "double standard" reasonable?

Gu Chuan has been comforting himself by saying that Chu Yan has lost her memory, she doesn't remember him, and she has been deceived by Shen Xing. Now it seems so ridiculous.

Shen Xing held Chu Yan's hand tightly. He was still in a dreamlike and unreal state. In ecstasy, even though Chu Yan chose him at this moment, he still felt deeply uneasy.

He wanted to go back to their home with Chu Yan. Only that home filled with the atmosphere of their life could provide him with more sense of security.

But soon, he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Chu Yan's hand. There was a very conspicuous red mark on her wrist, which was left by the man using a lot of force.

Shen Xing's face darkened, and he couldn't help shouting: "Gu Chuan!"

He rushed over again and grabbed Gu Chuan's collar. Now Gu Chuan was just a weak loser. No matter how Shen Xing attacked him, he had no intention of resisting.

In the numb pain, he actually had a terrible thought. If he was killed by Shen Xing like this, would Chu Yan remember him forever?
When Shen Xing raised his bloody fist high and was about to drop it again, it was caught by Chu Yan.

Chu Yan shook her head, "Shen Xing, that's enough."

If this was the only relationship she had, she could stand aside without hesitation and watch how Gu Chuan lost himself and fell into depravity, but Shen Xing was different.

Shen Xing and Gu Chuan are related by blood and they have common elders.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen are very kind to Chu Yan, and the old lady in the old house is also very kind to Chu Yan.

People are like this. With intricate relationships intertwined, there are more constraints and concerns. Who doesn't want to be able to ignore everything and do whatever they want?

It's just that they can't really be alone.

Chu Yan said: "I don't want to see anything happen to you."

Shen Xing looked at the dejected, disheveled and scarred man. Compared with the scene many years ago, their identities and status suddenly seemed to have been reversed.

Then, he suddenly realized what Gu Chuan's failure to struggle or fight back symbolized.

Shen Xing lowered his voice, "Gu Chuan, what do you mean by you still love her? You claim to be a gentleman, but you use such means. The person you love is no more than yourself." Gu Chuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were bruises and purple marks on his dazed face, like a doll that would break at any time.

Shen Xing loosened his hand and watched Gu Chuan slowly sit down on the ground along the wall. Maybe he should be happy as a winner, but for some reason, Shen Xing couldn't feel happy.

Perhaps the biggest difference between Shen Xing and Gu Chuan is that Shen Xing has a clear enough understanding of himself. He knows from the beginning that he is not a good person, so he can face his own meanness calmly.

But Gu Chuan is different.

He lived a high and mighty life, and was glamorous in the eyes of others, with a bright moon and a clear breeze. However, after he gradually realized his hypocrisy, his self-awareness also collapsed step by step.

Perhaps, now he can't even clearly explain what kind of person he is.

Shen Xing held Chu Yan's hand and led her out of the cold white villa.

He used his car as a battering ram to break through the iron gate. Now the body of his car was damaged, so he naturally didn't dare to take Chu Yan with him in another car.

Shen Xing held Chu Yan's hand tightly all the time. He didn't dare to look back at her and could only look straight ahead. Chu Yan's hand was as stiff as his body, and he walked forward along the road with her step by step.

After a long time, his beating heart gradually calmed down with his breathing, and he regained his senses. Then he realized that he had actually been holding her hand for a long time.

Shen Xing reacted and turned around hurriedly. Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Chu Yan's forehead, he was at a loss, "I'm sorry, Yanyan, I... let's... let's rest first."

He looked around for a long time and found a bus station. He quickly took Chu Yan there and sat down.

This is a mountain road in the suburbs. There are not many cars passing by here normally, and it takes a long time for a bus to come.

When the cold wind blew, Shen Xing felt an unprecedented coldness in his bones. He wanted to wipe the sweat off Chu Yan's forehead, but found blood on his hand. His hand stopped in mid-air and he withdrew it helplessly.

Chu Yan held his hand. Both of their body temperatures were a little low in the wind, but when their hands were held together, the temperature gradually rose and everything seemed to warm up.

Shen Xing seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. His face was pale, and his low voice revealed caution, "Yan Yan... I'm sorry, if I were by your side, you wouldn't have to go through these things..."

But she now lives in a world of lies, and isn't this situation caused by him?

Shen Xing knew that his hypocrisy was ridiculous. In the past, he could still be thick-skinned and pretend to be sunny and cheerful, becoming her ideal partner. But now, after his true face was exposed, he said these words, just making himself become a clown who is not presentable.

He was afraid to see the sarcasm and disgust in her eyes, so he lowered his eyes and tried to avoid it all with an awkward attitude.

Chu Yan said: "You came to me, you saved me, I am very happy."

Shen Xing paused, then looked up at her in disbelief.

Chu Yan smiled, "It was like this when I lost my memory, and it's still like this now. I feel like every time I meet you, it's just right."
