Jiang Yingyue herself paused, "You?"

Seeing that she had stopped, Gu Yu let go of her hand and continued to persuade her, "This matter is not without room for change. You should think about it carefully. After all, you have been in this family for so many years, and the two children are so grown up. Don't run away from things when something happens. Only by facing the problem can we solve it, right?"

"If you really die, what will happen to Tianyou and Tiancheng?"

Jiang Yingyue sobbed, staring intently at Gu Yu, and suddenly realized how handsome the man in front of her was.

But why would he stand up and say such things to me? There's no reason for it!

Gu Yu's actions undoubtedly added a dramatic touch to today's farce.

"Isn't this Young Master Zhao on good terms with Shang Qing? And Shang Qing and Jiang Yingyue are sworn enemies, so why is he trying to persuade Jiang Yingyue? I really don't understand this relationship."

"I was just about to go home when this happened. I'm curious to see what happens next!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe this young master Zhao just doesn't want to see Jiang Yingyue die."

"You should have brought some sunflower seeds!"

Shang Qing also looked at Gu Yu with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yu returned a helpless look.

Lao Zong wished he could go up and beat him up right now! But what could he do if he couldn't beat Gu Yu?

Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Jiang Yingyue actually obediently turned back, and Gu Yu, without saying a word, stood beside Shang Qing again.

But Shang Qing moved to the side with a hint of disdain.

It looks like Jiang Yingyue isn't going to die today.

Everyone found it boring and dispersed.

Gu Heng sat on the bench, still caught up in his earlier emotions.

Shang Qing didn't even glance at Gu Yu before heading home with Nie Niang and the others.

Nie Niang glanced back and saw that he was still following at a distance, so she nudged Shang Qing with her elbow and gossiped, "What exactly happened today? Why is Young Master Zhao advising Jiang Yingyue? Does he like Jiang Yingyue?"

Shang Qing frowned, her expression strange: "That shouldn't be the case... The two of them don't usually interact much. And as you saw before, he doesn't like Jiang Yingyue either."

Nie Niang asked, puzzled, "Then what was the purpose of his performance today?"

Yes, but why is that?

Shang Qing said he couldn't figure it out either.

Although she felt that Gu Yu didn't seem like the type to like Jiang Yingyue, for some reason, she couldn't be entirely sure of her thoughts and felt a little uneasy.

So weird!

But Lao Zong speculated, "Actually, it's not impossible. He hasn't had a woman for so long, so it's possible he suddenly changed his taste. But that Jiang Yingyue... I don't know what he saw in her."

Hearing him say that, Shang Qing became somewhat worried about Gu Yu's condition.

That's right, he might just be sick.

Nie Niang was amused by Lao Zong's words: "You really dare to think that way."

Gu Yu knew everyone would find his behavior today strange, but only Gu Yu himself knew the truth. The Jiang Yingyue of the past was indeed not like this, and she had treated him quite well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled this stunt today. It's a pity that no one seems to understand him.

Along the way, the people in front of him would turn around and look at him from time to time, and each of them had a different look in their eyes.

However, they all have one thing in common.

Hating evil as if it were an enemy!

Gu Yu could only silently endure it; he truly had no way to express his suffering!

After dinner, seeing that no one paid much attention to him, especially Shang Qing, Gu Yu finally couldn't help but follow Shang Qing into the kitchen.

"You must have something you want to ask me, right?"

Gu Yu brought up the topic.

Shang Qing shook his head as if to feign indifference: "It's your choice, and I respect that."

But not accepted.

Gu Yu moved closer to her: "Are you sure you don't have anything you want to ask? If not, I'll be leaving."

Shang Qing tightened her grip on the plate and blurted out, "Fine, then tell me why you did this today. Don't you think your behavior was strange? What will people think of you from now on?"

Gu Yu countered, "I don't care what others think of me, but I'd like to ask you what you think of me?"

Shang Qing looked at him, and for a fleeting moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away, looking somewhat flustered: "How can I see you... how else can I see you? I feel a little speechless."

Before Gu Yu could reply, Shang Qing suddenly asked in a probing tone, "But there's something I really want to ask you: what are your feelings towards Jiang Yingyue?"

Feel?

What is she thinking?

But Shang Qing got a little angry when he didn’t reply for a long time. Was this kind of question really worth him thinking about?

Shouldn't we have decisively rejected it?

Shang Qing could no longer hold back, and her tone became much harsher: "I'm asking you, do you like Jiang Yingyue?"

So that's the question she wanted to ask?

But what made her think that way?

Gu Yu was a little angry, angry that Shang Qing thought of him like that and didn't trust him at all.

"How did you come up with this idea? Or is this what all of you think of me?"

Shang Qing remained silent.

Gu Yu softened his tone and patiently explained, "I'm not trying to help Jiang Yingyue, I just feel sorry for the two children. Besides, death doesn't solve anything, does it? I've experienced death, so I can probably understand that feeling better. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

That's it!

Shang Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and chuckled at Gu Yu, "Sorry, I misunderstood. I knew it, how could you possibly be interested in someone like Jiang Yingyue?"

Gu Yu stared intently at Shang Qing, some words stuck in his throat, he wanted to say them but couldn't bring himself to say them.

After thinking about it, he swallowed his words and changed his tune, saying, "So even though I know those villagers are all there, I will still do it. It doesn't matter what people think of me, as long as you think I'm a good person."

Shang Qing sighed, avoiding Gu Yu's words, and continued washing the dishes.

Gu Yu thought she was just shy, and was wondering whether to tease her again when Shang Qing suddenly asked, "Now that this question is over, I want to ask you, why did you appear at the Gu family home early? And why did you come out from inside the house? What did you and Gu Heng talk about?"

He really hadn't thought of this issue.

"I just wanted to go over and say a few words to him, and then I took a shortcut."

Gu Yu explained somewhat guiltily.

Shang Qing immediately noticed the flaw: "Impossible. There's only one main road from my house to the Gu family's house. You're lying."
