A cold wind blew through the night.

My body trembled a few times.

My drunken state of mind cleared up a bit.

I have already identified who the person is.

Gu Yao.

I asked weakly, "Gu Yao, shouldn't you be watching over Zhao Ming? Why are you here looking for me?"

Gu Yao put on beautiful makeup tonight, and her style of dress is very similar to Lin Xia's.

At first glance, I thought Lin Xia was sitting in front of me.

Gu Yao said, "Zhao Ming is very well-behaved now. I have found a reformatory for him and sent him there for rehabilitation."

“The correctional facility is a closed place, so even if Zhao Ming wanted to escape, he couldn’t.”

Upon hearing the words "educational detention center," my eyes widened in alarm.

Then, I suddenly laughed.

Zhao Ming instigated Gu Yao to send me to the reformatory for rehabilitation.

I suffered inhuman torture in the correctional facility.

Now, Zhao Ming has been personally sent to the reformatory by Gu Yao.

I'm very curious about how Zhao Ming is feeling.

When I looked at Gu Yao again.

I suddenly felt very fortunate that I no longer loved this woman.

But I didn't realize it yet.

Gu Yao is towards me now.

It seems different from before.

"Good for him! Let him experience it properly and accept the transformation!"

Suddenly, I saw Gu Yao take a sip from my wine glass.

I was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "This is my cup. Aren't you always the most fastidious about cleanliness? You always think my things are dirty!"

Gu Yao smiled and said, "I used to dislike it, but now I'm fine with it."

I looked at Gu Yao with a strange expression.

Gu Yao is really different from before.

I remember back in school, even if I took Gu Yao's textbooks, she would hate it.

If they eat snacks, that would be even worse.

She immediately threw away any snacks I touched.

As for the snacks she ate, she repeatedly forbade me from touching them.

Results now.

Gu Yao surprisingly drank from the wine glass I had just used without any hesitation.

And it happened to be right where my mouth had touched it.

Gu Yao's face turned slightly red after drinking the wine.

I can tell that Gu Yao has a very low alcohol tolerance.

I felt a bit tipsy after just one sip.

Suddenly, Gu Yao stared at me and asked abruptly, "Lu Yi, do you know why Lin Xia left?"

I looked at her with a surprised expression.

Does Gu Yao know the inside story about Lin Xia's impending departure?

"why?"

"Because Lin Xia's family arranged a marriage for her, a man who is her social equal is going to marry her."

As Gu Yao spoke, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"They're a very wealthy family, so naturally they'd consider matching social status when it comes to marriage!"

I immediately understood the unspoken meaning behind Gu Yao's words.

Lin Xia and I are simply not a good match.

Even if she likes me, or even if I like her.

We will never end up together.

Suddenly, I felt a tightness in my chest and clenched my fists.

Then he pretended to be very relieved.

“I know she’s the little princess of the Summer Group, and I’m just an ordinary orphan.”

"So I'm not good enough for her!"

Gu Yao covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at me.

"Yes, Lu Yi!"

"In modern society, everyone is very realistic."

"Being well-matched in terms of social status is a basic requirement, but I think we are well-matched in terms of social status as well."

As Gu Yao spoke, she moved a small stool and sat down next to me.

She rested her head on my arm, emboldened by the alcohol.

But I suddenly stood up.

Gu Yao suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Ouch!"

Gu Yao looked at me with a face full of surprise.

I said expressionlessly, "I'm full. I'm going to pay the bill."

Gu Yao stared at me in astonishment.

She sobered up completely.

Or rather, she wasn't actually drunk at all!

I heard Gu Yao calling me from behind.

"Lu Yi, what do you mean by this? Do you think I, Gu Yao, am not good enough for you?"

"Didn't you used to have a crush on me? I'm giving you this chance now, let's be together!"

When I heard Gu Yao so boldly confess her feelings to me.

I was a little stunned when I heard that, and it felt somewhat unrealistic.

After all, I know very well what kind of woman Gu Yao was before.

I never thought Gu Yao would be interested in me.

I certainly don't believe that Gu Yao will ever confess her feelings to me.

But tonight.

The first night after Lin Xia left.

Gu Yao took advantage of the moment and confessed her feelings to me.

My body stopped in place.

Gu Yao saw my back as I stopped walking.

They thought I was having a change of heart.

But the next second.

I continued walking until I found the owner to pay the bill.

I then returned to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao looked at me with a smile.

"Lu Yi, I know you're very happy and a little dazed for a moment, but I can give you some time to process this..."

I interrupted Gu Yao before she could finish speaking.

"Gu Yao, I don't think we're a good match."

The words fell.

Gu Yao's smile vanished abruptly.

Her eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Gu Yao probably never expected this.

She confessed her feelings to me personally.

I actually rejected her!

As the ancients said, "It's easy for a woman to pursue a man!"

Now she's come to pursue me herself.

Moreover, she is good-looking, a great beauty, owns her own company, and is wealthy.

She is the epitome of a beautiful, rich, and successful woman.

Gu Yao confidently confessed her feelings.

In the end, I refused.

"why?"

Gu Yao looked at me with a face full of shock and confusion.

"Do you still have feelings for Lin Xia?"

Gu Yao was getting a little anxious.

"Didn't I already tell you? Lin Xia went back and married another man. She's not coming back!"

"Given her family's circumstances, her father would never allow her to marry you."

"Because you and Lin Xia are not a good match!"

I stared at Gu Yao in silence.

He still shook his head firmly.

Gu Yao was even angrier now.

She continued, "Lu Yi, you still don't understand the current situation, do you!"

"I'll just tell you the truth!"

Do you want to know who put Liu Chaoyang in the hospital?

"Do you want to know who sent Five-Dragon to smear you?"

"Including just now, Five-Dragon has been sentenced to death!"

"Did you know about this?"

Gu Yao bombarded him with her words.

It completely stunned me.

I didn't know any of that!

I hurriedly and anxiously asked, "Gu Yao, tell me the truth! What is the truth?"

Gu Yao gave a cold laugh.

She crossed her arms and said something completely indifferent.

"The mastermind behind all of this was Lin Xia's own father!"

"Her biological father has connections everywhere; he turned Liu Chaoyang into a vegetable!"

"Because Lin Xia's father wanted Lin Xia to wholeheartedly return home, he plotted to drag you down with Five-Dragon, so that he could cut off Lin Xia's thoughts."

"But because it was nighttime, Five-Striped Dragon frightened Lin Xia, so he was sentenced to death!"

After hearing everything Gu Yao said, I felt like I'd been struck by lightning.

Because I never expected this.

The person behind the scenes who manipulated me like an ant, leaving me powerless to fight back.

It turns out he's Lin Xia's biological father!
