After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Gu Mengmeng's face instantly darkened, her eyes flickered uncertainly, and she slowly lowered her eyelids.

Looking at her like this, my heart clenched, but I forced myself to believe it and asked in a trembling voice, "Gu Mengmeng, tell me the truth, is this really unrelated to you?"

Gu Mengmeng deliberately avoided my gaze.

I was so shocked I couldn't speak. When I recalled Jiang Yuwei telling me this, I naively thought she was deliberately trying to slander Gu Mengmeng, and I never took her words seriously.

Because I don't believe that Gu Mengmeng, who is honest, kind, and very good to me, would do such a thing.

However, when I heard her admit it, I felt like I couldn't breathe, as if all my strength had been drained from me.

I suddenly remembered that before I lost my memory, Gu Mengmeng had asked me many times, tentatively, if I was willing to forget everything and start over.

At the time, I rejected her without hesitation because I felt that all experiences, good or bad, are part of life and worth cherishing.

So, from that time on, Gu Mengmeng was already plotting to make me lose my memory.

Gu Mengmeng frowned slightly and gently grasped my hand. "Ye Qiu, I'm doing this for your own good. Those painful memories won't do you any good. Forget everything and start over, so you won't be in pain!"

I looked at her blankly and helplessly pulled my hand away.

We grew up together, and I thought I knew Gu Mengmeng very well. But now, I really don't recognize her anymore.

“Gu Mengmeng, how could you do this under the guise of being good to me? Do you know how scared I was during the time I had amnesia? I knew everyone, but I didn’t remember anyone, and I didn’t even know what I did for a living.”

“I live like a fool every day, constantly fearing that something bad will happen to me tomorrow.”

I became more and more emotional as I spoke, and my voice involuntarily rose until I was almost crying.

Gu Mengmeng quickly interrupted me, "No, Ye Qiu, I've already made arrangements. Someone will meet you when you arrive abroad, and I'll be there to be with you soon."

"You won't be hurt at all. It was Jiang Yuwei's appearance that disrupted my plans. Otherwise, you should be studying abroad carefree right now!"

Hearing this, I felt less angry and more heartbroken; it turned out that this was all Gu Mengmeng's scheme.

Even now, she doesn't think she did anything wrong; instead, she shifts the blame onto Jiang Yuwei.

The Gu Mengmeng in front of me felt both unfamiliar and frightening.

I was trembling with anger, and said in a trembling voice, "Gu Mengmeng, I am a person with thoughts and feelings, not a doll for you to manipulate! How could you disrespect my wishes and do this to me without my consent?"

I always thought Gu Mengmeng and Jiang Yuwei were completely different people.

Gu Mengmeng is gentle, generous, and understanding, while Jiang Yuwei is ruthless in achieving her goals.

However, I've now discovered that Gu Mengmeng has become just like Jiang Yuwei, full of scheming and completely disregarding my feelings!

I felt like my heart was being choked, so painful I couldn't breathe. "Gu Mengmeng, how did you become like this?"

Gu Mengmeng's eyes darkened. "Why? Of course, it's because I want to protect you! Ye Qiu, you know perfectly well what kind of person Jiang Yuwei is, so why do you still like her and get entangled with her?"

I was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously denied it, "I didn't! I have no feelings for Jiang Yuwei whatsoever!"

Gu Mengmeng scoffed, "No feelings? If you have no feelings, why are you living in her house?"

Hearing Gu Mengmeng's accusations, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. She had once again shifted the blame onto me.

"Enough! Gu Mengmeng! You still don't think you've done anything wrong?" I shouted angrily.

Gu Mengmeng stared at me with red eyes, not blinking.

“I was wrong. I was wrong to use the wrong method. I was wrong to wait until you went abroad before drugging you. That way you wouldn’t have seen Jiang Yuwei, and the person you liked would have become me.”

Hearing this, my disappointment in Gu Mengmeng turned into despair. I don't know how someone who used to be so good could become like this.

Gu Mengmeng looked at me, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

"Ye Qiu, you know perfectly well that your entanglement won't end well. In the story, we're the couple, and you should be with me."

Plot?

Hearing those two words, I felt an instinctive aversion. It was one thing for Chen Yiran to keep bringing this up, but I never expected Gu Mengmeng to believe it too.

So in her eyes, I was a villainous supporting character.

I suddenly realized that something between me and Gu Mengmeng had quietly changed. She had always been like family to me, but now, it felt like I had been abandoned.

Perhaps I never truly understood her from the very beginning.

“Gu Mengmeng, we are independent individuals, not machines. I don’t care what you think, but no one can control me. If you don’t understand, I’ll say it again: whether Jiang Yuwei is there or not, I will never like you!”

I want to be in control of my own life and be the protagonist of my own story!

I paused for a moment, feeling that it was better to make some things clear.

"Also, regarding the matter of you drugging me, I've considered many possibilities and suspected many people, but I've never suspected you!"

I fought back my tears and choked out, "You've disappointed me so much..."

Gu Mengmeng's gaze softened considerably. "I know you'll hate me for doing this, but Ye Qiu, I'm doing this for your own good. I've liked you since we were little, and I don't want anyone to hurt you!"

"Chen Yiran said that if you don't stay with me and continue to entangle with Jiang Yuwei, your final fate will be the same as in your previous lives... No matter if you hate me or resent me, I can't just stand by and watch you..."

At this point, Gu Mengmeng's gaze suddenly tightened, "If you really don't want to, that's fine too. Just make Jiang Yuwei disappear, and you won't be affected."

I was shocked by Gu Mengmeng's words. Make Jiang Yuwei disappear? She meant…

I never expected Gu Mengmeng to say something like that so easily.

My tone was tinged with anger. "Gu Mengmeng, can you please be more realistic? I don't need you to do anything for me. Besides, I think our values ​​are incompatible. Let's just go our separate ways from now on!"

Gu Mengmeng asked in disbelief, "You want to break off our friendship?"

I didn't say anything. Gu Mengmeng's face turned pale instantly, then she let out a cold laugh.

Do you know why I was in a car accident?
