Her ex-husband was too cold; after being reborn, she hid her pregnant belly and left her father behi

Gu Xunjing was furious. Because of his relationship with Su Mengyu, Jiang Qianhui had already distanced herself from him and even proposed to break off the engagement.

Now that his family situation has changed, she has returned to his side to take care of him and his mother.

He thought that Sui Sui would gradually forgive him, and that the two of them could forget about that incident and start over. He never expected that Su Mengyu would commit suicide at this time.

Was it because he saw that their relationship was slowly warming up that he deliberately committed suicide?

This made him even more convinced that what happened before was all Su Mengyu's doing. Su Mengyu is really ruthless!

Su Mengyu hurriedly explained, "No, that's not how it is."

Su Shitian roared.

“Su Xunjing, I’m telling you, you must marry my daughter. She risked her life for you, you must marry her.”

Ma Zhongling, supporting the agitated Su Mengyu, said, "Daughter, how could you be so foolish as to attempt suicide for him? Don't worry, your father and mother will stand up for you. If he doesn't marry you, even if it means giving away all the wealth and connections of the Su family, I will make sure his family is ruined!"

Now that they see their daughter willing to risk her life to marry Gu Xunjing, they, as parents, are determined to make Gu Xunjing marry her.

Gu Xunjing scoffed coldly. Just as he thought, she was trying to coerce him into marrying her. That was impossible!

"If your Su family wants my Gu family to be destroyed, then I don't mind if we both perish. But it's absolutely impossible for me to marry Su Mengyu."

The Gu Group has only just begun to recover; if it were to make an enemy of the Su family, it would surely come to a bad end.

But for Gu Xunjing, there was no weighing of pros and cons; he only wanted Jiang Qianhui, even if it meant giving up everything.

Jiang Qianhui quickly dissuaded him, "Gu Xunjing, don't."

Su Shitian was shocked. He said angrily, "The Gu Group has only just started to improve. It seems you're willing to give up everything for that woman."

Gu Xunjing said firmly, "That's right. I only want Sui Sui. No one can force me to be like Su Mengyu!"

Su Shitian, enraged, said, "Fine, since you're willing to give up everything for that woman, then I'll grant your wish. I, Su Shitian, swear here and now that I will not rest until I have destroyed your Gu family!"

Seeing her father about to harm Gu Xunjing, Su Mengyu quickly explained, "Mom and Dad, my suicide has nothing to do with Gu Xunjing. I'm just unhappy and life is meaningless. It was an impulsive act, and it has nothing to do with Gu Xunjing. Please don't harm him."

Hearing Su Mengyu's words, Ma Zhongling said with both anger and heartache, "What time is it, and you're still speaking up for him? Didn't you see that he'd rather go against our Su family, rather the Gu Group go bankrupt, than marry you? Why are you still speaking up for him?"

"Mom, I'm not speaking up for Gu Xunjing, I'm just stating the facts! I know I did something foolish, I made you sad and angry, but what I did really had nothing to do with Gu Xunjing. I just... I just..."

Su Mengyu didn't know how to explain her suicide attempt. She couldn't bring herself to say it tomorrow, she didn't want to, and she didn't want anyone to know.

“You child, even in this state, you’re still speaking up for him. Look at how heartless he is, is it worth you speaking up for him? If it’s not for him, then tell me, what are you doing it for? Why did you want to commit suicide? Do you know that if you had come any later, you would have lost your life?”

"Mom, I'm sorry, you and Dad were worried. I acted impulsively, and it has nothing to do with Gu Xunjing or Jiang Qianhui. Tell them to leave, and I don't want to marry Gu Xunjing!"

Su Mengyu also stopped calling Xun Jing "brother".

Because the bond they shared growing up together is gone.

Ma Zhongling said angrily, "You're still making excuses for him at this point. Do you want him to have a good time with that woman? No way! You're my daughter, and I absolutely won't allow anyone to bully you. He must agree to marry you today, or he won't be able to withstand the full force of the Su family's revenge."

Su Shitian was determined to destroy the Gu family, and Gu Xunjing retorted without backing down, "Then let's give it a try!"

Jiang Qianhui stopped Gu Xunjing and said, "Gu Xunjing, the Gu Group has only just stabilized. We shouldn't make enemies at this time, especially not an opponent like the Su family."

“Sui Sui, of course I know that going head-to-head with the Su family at this time will not end well, but it is better to die a glorious death than to live a life of dishonor. You have never been a choice I made after weighing the pros and cons, but someone I would risk my life to protect.”

Jiang Qianhui was deeply moved by Gu Xunjing's words, and at that moment, someone else stopped at the door.

That person was Zhan Yanxun, and the words Gu Xunjing had just said echoed in his mind.

You were never a choice I made after weighing the pros and cons; you were the person I would risk everything to protect!

Zhan Yanxun remained silent; he was unaware of the sins he had committed in his previous life.

What about this life?

His casual relationship with Qiao Weiwei did indeed hurt Jiang Qianhui.

So, is that a choice made after weighing the pros and cons?

He knew that by using Qiao Weiwei, he could take down the entire Black Riders. He assumed Jiang Qianhui would still be waiting for him, which is why he did it.

He used to think that Gu Xunjing was inferior to him, but Gu Xunjing didn't weigh the pros and cons when it came to Jiang Qianhui.

Even knowing that the Gu Group has only just recovered, he will never compromise or appease the Su family for Jiang Qianhui's sake, and will directly confront the Su family head-on!

Would he do that if it were him?

In the ward, Su Shitian was trembling with anger. He said to Gu Xunjing, "You really have guts. I'll show you that no matter how hard your bones are, I can still break them!"

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Su Mengyu cried out, "Mom and Dad, I beg you! Please don't go after Gu Xunjing. My current state has absolutely nothing to do with him. Gu Xunjing loves Jiang Qianhui. If it weren't for me, they would have been married long ago. I'm the one who wronged them. Please, please don't go after them."

Su Shitian angrily said to Gu Xunjing, "Did you see that? Even though my daughter was ridiculed by others because of you, and even attempted suicide for you, she is still speaking up for you now. She chose to commit suicide because she was suffering too much pain and couldn't cope with it, but you say she was just putting on an act. You are really too cruel."

Ma Zhongling also said to Su Mengyu, "Daughter, why are you still speaking up for him? You had a relationship with him, and now everyone knows about it. Everyone is making fun of you. He's the one who made you lose face and can't get married in the future. Shouldn't he take responsibility for you? Don't worry, Mom and Dad will never let you be bullied."
