Chapter 127
I remained indifferent, while Gu Jinhuai, standing beside me, simply lowered his eyes, but did not loosen his grip on my wrist, continuing to play with it, showing no intention of speaking.
I wasn't sure what Gu Jinhuai was thinking, but I didn't care anymore. Even if I were to break up with Gu Jinhuai, it would be a completely innocent thing.
I won't take the blame for this.
"The photos are evidence, and you still won't admit it. What were you doing with him in the woods late at night if there was nothing going on?"
Song Yuyan's words were sharp and hateful, deliberately leaving room for speculation; she did have some tricks up her sleeve.
“Jinhuai, I told you before, but you didn’t listen. Now look what’s happened. Listen to me, get a divorce from her right away.”
“Although Song Yuan did that kind of thing, the marriage between the Gu and Song families was arranged by the older generation. Since Song Yuan is not suitable, then Yu Yan will do. Yu Yan is a good girl. You just like young girls, and Yu Yan is a year younger than Zhou Nanzhi.”
As I listened to Madam Gu's words, a cold smile curled at the corner of my lips. So this was what she was waiting for.
I really can't understand why Madam Gu, who values power so much, would use her own son as a bargaining chip.
But when I think of my family, I feel relieved.
I looked at Song Yuyan, raising an eyebrow slightly: "You wouldn't agree to give birth to Madam Gu's first child and hand it over to Madam Gu to take care of, would you?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Madam Gu's expression changed. Seeing that Madam Gu was angry, Song Yuyan immediately stepped forward to refute my words.
"So what? As the child's grandmother, what's wrong with Mrs. Gu taking care of the child? On the contrary, you're having an ambiguous relationship with another man. Who knows if your future child will belong to the Gu family?"
"I'm warning you, Liu Ke belongs to my sister, don't even think about taking her away."
Listening to Song Yuyan's thoughtless words, I scoffed: "You're not even together yet, and you're already thinking about having a child. Who's shameless here? I'm not dead yet. If you really have Gu Jinhuai's child, you'll be a complete mistress. So this is what Mrs. Gu likes. Hmm... I've seen something new."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhuai suddenly looked up, met my gaze, and said earnestly and seriously, "I will not have a child with her."
Gu Jinhuai's gaze seemed to fall on my stomach out of the corner of his eye.
His words shattered the little schemes of the two people opposite him.
Especially Madam Gu, whose face was extremely ugly: "Gu Jinhuai, you just spoil her. She's been messing around with other men. How can you do this to the Gu family?"
"You saw me hanging out. Out of so many people at school, they only managed to get a picture of me and Liu Ke. This person is pretty cunning, following me and taking pictures of me without my consent. Could he be a pervert?"
I scoffed lightly, which quickly angered Song Yuyan.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Her reaction was intense, and a dark glint flashed in my eyes: "Did you take this photo?"
My voice was cold, and my gaze toward Song Yuyan was dark and unfathomable, like a sharp sword piercing straight into her heart.
"You are talking nonsense."
Song Yuyan's eyes were filled with panic. She didn't dare to look at me, but instead looked pleadingly at Madam Gu.
I couldn't be bothered with her and said in a deep voice, "If it's not you, then it must be your sister?"
"You two sisters are really something, trying to steal a man in different ways. Since you saw me with Liu Ke, you didn't stop us, but instead took pictures. How bizarre."
I chuckled softly, my eyes brimming with disdain.
Song Yuyan, who was standing to the side, became angry because of something I said. Seeing this, Madam Gu gently comforted Song Yuyan, who then sat obediently next to Madam Gu and stopped talking, waiting for Madam Gu to support her.
Immediately afterward, Madam Gu glared at me with icy eyes, her voice ruthless: "Our Gu family doesn't need this kind of fickle woman. Gu Jinhuai, even if you don't listen to me, your father won't agree if he finds out. And even if you don't care about me and your father, you should think about the Gu family. Do you want the future wife of the Gu family to be an unclean woman?"
"If that's the case, I'm even less certain whether the child she's carrying will still be yours."
Madam Gu has been talking for so long, her only goal is to make me divorce Gu Jinhuai. If I divorce him because of this demand, I will gain my freedom, but given Madam Gu's methods, I will carry this stigma for the rest of my life.
"That's enough, I believe her."
The man's tone was serious and cold.
Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai's hand landed on mine, wrapping it tightly around me, and my cold body gradually warmed up.
"Gu Jinhuai, you..."
Madam Gu's face was filled with anger. Beside her, Song Yuyan bit her lip, her eyes red, and looked at me with a wronged voice, just like Song Yuan: "Zhou Nanzhi, you're going to harm Jin Huai like this. Once this gets out, you should know..."
"Shut up. Only the four of us know about this today. If anyone dares to leak it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Gu Jinhuai's cold gaze swept over the two people opposite him, and immediately, an invisible sense of oppression came over them. The two people's expressions changed, and neither of them dared to speak again.
"I advise you to sign the contract as soon as possible. If I haven't received the contract in three hours, the lawyer will talk to you. Also, don't go looking for trouble for yourself in the future."
When Gu Jinhuai spoke his last words, his gaze fell on Song Yuyan, and his eyes carried a warning.
After Gu Jinhuai finished speaking, he got up and left, his gaze falling on me. Before he could speak, I immediately stood up and scurried over to him.
Gu Jinhuai pulled me to the door, and we heard Madam Gu's angry shouts.
"Gu Jinhuai".
Gu Jinhuai slammed the door shut, and there was a loud bang, as if something had hit the door with great force, making a crackling sound.
At the same time, Gu Jinhuai seemed to sense it and held me tightly in his arms.
The man moved very quickly, and I asked him with some surprise, "How did you know she was going to smash something?"
Gu Jinhuai glanced down at me, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said briefly, "I'm used to it."
These three words felt like stones, rippling across my heart, circle after circle.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
Gu Jinhuai looked into my eyes, gently stroked the tip of my nose, and spoke with a hint of doting in his voice.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I saw loneliness and desolation in his eyes.
By the time I wanted to take a closer look, the man had already recovered and pulled me into the car.
Inside the car, all was quiet. I thought about what happened yesterday and felt it necessary to explain, to prevent any trouble from the Song family.
"I did run into Liu Ke last night, but nothing happened between us, and he seemed like a lunatic..."
As I was saying this, I suddenly remembered that I clearly hit Liu Ke on the head with a rock last night, but there wasn't a single scratch on his face today.
A chill ran down my spine, my hands and feet turned ice-cold, and my face paled. I looked at Gu Jinhuai, my voice trembling involuntarily as I said, "Gu Jinhuai..."
Gu Jinhuai noticed something was wrong with me. His expression turned serious. He reached out and took my hand, feeling the coldness between my fingers and the slight trembling of my fingertips. He couldn't help but soften his tone and ask, "What's wrong?"
"I think I encountered a ghost last night."
My voice still trembled uncontrollably, and my scalp tingled.
"Nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."
Gu Jinhuai tapped me lightly on the head.
"it is true."
My voice was trembling with tears.
If today's person is Liu Ke, then who was the one last night?
“I clearly hit his forehead last night, but the one I saw today didn’t have a single scratch on his face.”
Gu Jinhuai looked at my frightened expression, his face serious. He looked up and patted my head gently, saying in a tender tone, "Don't be afraid, leave this to me."
Gu Jinhuai took me directly to the small apartment. My mind was full of Liu Ke's affairs, so I didn't notice that Gu Jinhuai led me to the small apartment so easily.
I opened the door and went in. It was already dark. I was a little scared. Gu Jinhuai seemed to see what I was thinking. He stopped joking and went in first. He turned on the light and pulled me inside.
"Sit down for a while, I'll get you a glass of water."
"Thank you."
I interlaced my fingers, clenching them tightly. My fingertips were still icy cold, and even my palms were slightly damp.
I glanced up casually and saw Gu Jinhuai effortlessly find the kitchen, take a cup from the cabinet, and pour me a glass of water.
As the man approached, I asked him with a hint of suspicion and a hint of probing, "How did you know where the kitchen was?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhuai showed no sign of panic, and looked at me with utter speechlessness: "Idiot."
"Although the layout of each house is different, the living room faces the kitchen directly, so anyone with eyes can see it."
I felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so I lowered my head, took his water glass, and took a small sip.
"Don't worry, I've already looked into Liu Ke's situation."
Seeing that I was in a daze, Gu Jinhuai was worried about leaving and decided to stay that night.
