Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

The early morning sun penetrated the clouds and shone on the busy streets.

As usual, Gu Fanxing was walking to work in high spirits, with the coffee in her hand still emitting wisps of steam.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling her hair, and her thoughts drifted towards today's work plan in this pleasant atmosphere.

Suddenly, the cell phone in her bag rang rapidly, interrupting her thoughts.

Gu Fanxing took out his cell phone, saw that the caller ID was Ling Jiuer, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Jiuer, what's wrong?" Gu Fanxing pressed the answer button and asked with concern.

Ling Jiuer's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone full of questions: "Xingxing, what's going on? What's the news on the headlines? Why did you issue a statement forgiving Gu Qingyue and withdrawing the lawsuit against her?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fanxing stopped in her tracks, her face filled with shock: "What statement? I never issued one!" Her heart was instantly in suspense, and a bad premonition came to her mind.

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Gu Fanxing hurriedly opened his mobile phone, swiping his fingers quickly to find the headline news.

It clearly read "Gu Fanxing issued a statement to forgive Gu Qingyue, withdraw the lawsuit, and the family dispute was successfully resolved", and attached was a statement issued in her name.

The more Gu Fanxing watched, the angrier she became. She instantly understood that this must be the work of her grandmother, who disliked her.

The anger in Gu Fanxing's heart was burning fiercely.

Her first reaction was to immediately issue a statement to clarify and tell everyone that it was not posted by her.

But just as she was about to edit the message, her father Gu Changan called again.

"Hello, Dad." Gu Fanxing answered the phone, anger still lingering in his voice.

Gu Changan's voice sounded tired and helpless: "Fanxing, have you seen the news?"

"I saw it, Dad. This is not a statement I issued at all. It must be grandma's doing. I will issue a statement to clarify it now." Gu Fanxing said anxiously.

"Fanxing, don't post it yet." Gu Changan hurriedly stopped her. "Your grandmother...she threatened me with death, saying that if I didn't withdraw the lawsuit, she would not live. If she continues to make trouble like this, the entire Gu family will be in turmoil and become a laughing stock."

When Gu Fanxing heard this, she felt a chill running from her feet to her head. She never thought that her grandmother would resort to such means to protect Gu Qingyue.

Gu Changan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Fanxing, Dad knows I've wronged you. But given the current situation, let's take a step back. Your grandmother is old, and if something really happens, I won't be able to explain to the ancestors of the Gu family."

Gu Fanxing bit her lip tightly, thinking of all the evil things Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Qingyue had done to her, and those painful memories came flooding back. Now, they were using the same old tricks again, using her grandmother to force her to compromise.

"Dad, I won't accept this." Gu Fanxing's voice trembled slightly. "Gu Qingyue maliciously hurt me like this, can she get away with it just because grandma protects her?"

"Fanxing, Daddy understands how you feel." Gu Changan's voice was filled with heartache, "But we can't be impulsive now. Your grandma's uproar has put the entire Gu family in the spotlight. Let's stabilize the situation first and obey her."

Gu Fanxing tried hard to calm herself down. What her father said made sense. Acting rashly now would only make the situation more chaotic.

"Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you." Gu Fanxing said slowly, with determination in his eyes.

When Gu Fanxing arrived at the company and just sat down, a colleague couldn't help but ask, "Gu Fanxing, is the news on the headlines true? Have you really forgiven Gu Qingyue?"

Gu Fanxing raised her head with a faint smile on her face: "Don't believe what the news says. Some things are not what they seem."

After saying that, she lowered her head and started to deal with her work.

Although she appears calm on the surface, her heart is like a turbulent sea.

She knew that the days ahead would not be peaceful.

But she was ready, and she would not back down no matter what.

If Gu Huaiyuan and his daughter continue to be restless, she wouldn't mind catching them all in one fell swoop.

In the next few days, Gu Fanxing continued to work and live as usual, but she secretly paid attention to Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Qingyue's every move.

She found that since the news was released, Gu Qingyue seemed like a different person. She started to show up in various occasions again and even showed off on social media that she was "forgiven".

"Gu Qingyue, she really doesn't change despite repeated warnings." Gu Fanxing looked at Gu Qingyue's social media updates and said coldly, "That's good. Only if she commits suicide will I have a chance."

In the following days, Gu Fanxing ignored Gu Qingyue, but worked harder.

She knew that only if she was strong enough could she be invincible in the future struggles. She took the initiative to take on more work tasks and won the unanimous recognition of her superiors and colleagues with her outstanding ability and hard work.

On the other hand, Gu's mother was feeling smug, thinking that her threat had worked.

She often showed off her "merits" in front of Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Qingyue, but she didn't know that Gu Fanxing had secretly laid a bigger net, waiting for them to fall into it.

One day, Gu Fanxing met Gu Qingyue by chance on the way home from get off work.

Gu Qingyue was walking and chatting with a few friends. When she saw Gu Fanxing, a smug smile immediately appeared on her face, and she deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around her could hear it.

"Hey, look who this is? Isn't this my cousin who wants to put me in jail?"

Gu Qingyue folded her hands in front of her chest, walked slowly to Gu Fanxing with a proud step, her eyes full of ridicule.

"What's the matter? You went through so much trouble collecting evidence, hiring lawyers, and trying to punish me, and what's the result? You still had to listen to grandma, issue a statement forgiving me, and withdraw the lawsuit. Now I'm still safe and sound, continuing to live my good life. What can you do to me?"

Several of her friends also laughed, and one of them said in a shrill voice, "That's right, some people overestimate their own abilities and still want to compete with Qingyue, without even considering their own strengths."

Gu Qingyue laughed even more wantonly, the smugness on her face almost overflowing: "Cousin, you are too naive. Do you think you can shake our family? Grandma loves me the most. As long as grandma is here, don't even think about touching me. I wonder if you dare to go against me in the future."

Gu Fanxing looked at Gu Qingyue quietly, without any fear in his eyes, but instead revealed a sense of calmness and determination.

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she spoke slowly, "Gu Qingyue, the more smugly you smile now, the more miserable you will cry in the future. Don't think that you can get away with it just because grandma is protecting you. You will have to pay the price for what you have done sooner or later, and that day will not be too far away."

Gu Qingyue snorted disdainfully after hearing this: "Stop being so stubborn. I think you just can't stand losing. Go ahead and sue me now if you have the guts. See if anyone will help you."

Gu Fanxing ignored Gu Qingyue and turned away without looking back.

She knew that there was no point in arguing with Gu Qingyue now, as the real battle was yet to come.

As the days passed, on the surface, the turmoil in the Gu family had subsided, but in reality, new undercurrents were still surging. Gu Fanxing was waiting for the opportunity to strike back completely.

She believed that this time would come soon, and by then, she would make Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Qingyue pay a heavy price for their actions, and would also let her grandmother understand that her favoritism and protection of her shortcomings could not really protect anyone.
