Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 22 The Betrothed Childhood Sweetheart
These days, Gu Beichen has been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from Yan Shanshan.
Yan Shanshan felt as if her heart was being gnawed by a million ants; she was unwilling to be ignored by Gu Beicheng like this.
She confronted Gu Beicheng several times, trying to salvage their relationship, but Gu Beicheng ignored her every time.
His eyes were filled with indifference and detachment, as if Yan Shanshan were a stranger. Yan Shanshan watched Gu Beicheng's departing figure with resentment, not understanding why everything had turned out this way.
She once thought their love was unbreakable, but now it's like fragile glass, shattering at the slightest touch.
After being thwarted by Gu Beichen, Yan Shanshan felt a heavy cloud of frustration weighing on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She was used to confiding in Lu Ziyin when she encountered difficulties, but this time she was met with a cold reception.
Looking at Lu Ziyin's aloof demeanor, Yan Shanshan felt wronged and confused. She bit her lip and mustered her courage to walk up to Lu Ziyin.
"Ziyin, why are you suddenly so cold to me? Haven't we always been on good terms?" Yan Shanshan's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with expectation, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from Lu Ziyin.
Lu Ziyin frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
He was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Shanshan, we've all grown up. We can't be like we used to be. Some things have changed, and we should face reality."
Indeed, he once had some feelings for Yan Shanshan, but he realized that it was just taking care of the girl next door. Since meeting Shen Chumo, Lu Ziyin has understood what it is like to like someone: it is possessiveness, heartache, jealousy, and happiness.
However, when Yan Shanshan was with Gu Beichen, he did not feel any of these things, so he was certain that his feelings for Yan Shanshan were not love.
Yan Shanshan's eyes widened, tears welling up in them. "What do you mean we can't be like before? We grew up together, and after so many years of friendship, are you just going to give up on us so easily?" Her voice was filled with pain and accusation.
Lu Ziyin sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Shanshan, you should understand that people change. I can't always revolve around you; we both have our own lives. Besides, the situation is different now; you and Gu Beichen..." Lu Ziyin paused here, not continuing.
Yan Shanshan's expression turned even more unpleasant, and she interrupted Lu Ziyin.
"What happened between Gu Beichen and me? Is it because of Shen Chumo? Is it because of her that you're distancing yourself from me! Ziyin, you weren't like this before."
Gu Beichen is ignoring me now, and you're ignoring me too. What did I do wrong? Tell me!
Yan Shanshan looked heartbroken. "You're all like this. Gu Beichen and I were clearly in love first. You and I have known each other for so long..."
"The moment Shen Chumo arrived, you all changed! Your eyes are only on her! What about me? What am I supposed to do?"
Yan Shanshan finally couldn't hold back her tears and said in a choked voice, "Ziyin, how could you be so heartless? I always thought our relationship was the most precious thing, but I never expected you to change it so easily."
Seeing Yan Shanshan crying, Lu Ziyin felt a pang of pity; after all, she was her beloved younger sister of many years.
But Lu Ziyin was always a very clear-headed person. He knew that if he softened his heart towards Yan Shanshan, he would have no chance with Shen Chumo at all.
Lu Ziyin hardened her heart and said, "Shanshan, don't cry. This is the reality we have to face. Take good care of yourself from now on." After saying that, Lu Ziyin turned to leave.
Yan Shanshan watched Lu Ziyin's departing figure, her heart filled with despair. She shouted, "Lu Ziyin, you will regret this!" However, Lu Ziyin did not turn around, and his figure gradually disappeared from Yan Shanshan's sight.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with resentment. She secretly vowed in her heart: No, she would never give in so easily, and she would never give up so easily!
And Shen Chumo! You bitch, I will definitely get my revenge!! Since you are so heartless and won't let me have an easy time, then I will not let any of you go.
Yan Shanshan took a deep breath to calm herself down. She thought of Yan Siming. When she was with Gu Beichen, she had tried to please him a lot. She thought they were already friends. She never expected that Yan Siming would fall in love with Shen Chumo!
She had never seen Yan Siming so anxious when Shen Chumo was injured that day.
Yan Shanshan had an idea. Soon, Gu Beicheng learned of Yan Siming's feelings for Shen Chumo. Gu Beicheng was furious and went directly to confront Yan Siming.
"Yan Siming, what exactly do you want? Why are you always hanging around Shen Chumo?"
Yan Siming slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile: "Gu Beicheng, that's a strange question. Chu Mo and I are friends. Isn't it normal for friends to care about each other?"
Gu Beichen frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Friends? Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Your feelings for Shen Chumo are more than just friendship."
Yan Siming's eyes darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "So what if I have other feelings for Chu Mo? You don't cherish her yourself, so why can't others treat her well?"
Gu Beichen was enraged by Yan Siming's words. He took a step forward, his aura imposing: "Yan Siming, don't go too far. You are my brother, and Shen Chumo is my fiancée. Although we have broken off our engagement, I will not allow you to have any improper thoughts about her."
Yan Siming met Gu Beicheng's gaze without fear, her tone firm: "Gu Beicheng, you have already lost Chu Mo, so stop clinging to her. You don't know how to cherish her at all, but I will protect her in my own way."
Gu Beichen's face grew even darker. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Siming, don't be so smug. My business with Shen Chumo isn't over yet. I will definitely bring her back to my side."
Yan Siming sneered, his eyes filled with mockery: "Gu Beicheng, you're too arrogant. Chu Mo isn't your possession; she has her own choices. Do you think you can make her come back just because you want her to?"
Gu Beichen clenched his fists, trying hard to control his emotions: "Fine, I misjudged you, Yan Siming. I treated you like a brother, but from today onwards, we're breaking off our friendship! Just you wait, I won't let you get away with this."
The two former friends had a complete falling out. Yan Shanshan, hiding in the shadows, curled her lips in disdain. What good brothers? They fell out over a woman.
Su Jingyu was caught in the middle, unable to please either side. He tried to mediate the conflict between Gu Beicheng and Yan Siming, but each attempt failed.
However, every time Yan Siming came to the hospital to see Shen Chumo, Su Jingyu would always follow him silently like a shadow.
Su Jingyu was filled with contradictions and entanglements. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. He just couldn't control his steps, as if he were being pulled by an invisible force.
In a quiet bar, the lights were dim and the music was soft.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Yan Shanshan searched everywhere for that familiar figure. Finally, in a corner booth, she found Gu Beicheng drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Gu Beichen sat there alone, the table in front of him littered with empty wine bottles. His eyes were unfocused, his hair was disheveled, and he exuded an air of decadence.
