Chapter 6 Rabbit

Chu Xiang sat in her room, thinking it over and over. She felt that she should break off her engagement with Gu Jue as soon as possible. Today, thanks to Gu Heng's appearance, she remembered more things.

As the male lead, Gu Jue is unlikely to remain just an uneducated playboy forever. As the story unfolds, he will grow into the undisputed head of the Gu family, and in the process, Gu Heng will naturally be eliminated.

Gu Heng had always disagreed with Gu Jue being with Su Ruanruan, thus standing on the opposite side of the male and female protagonists. In an accident, Gu Heng was in a car accident and was in a coma in the hospital for a long time. Gu Jue stepped up and took on the main responsibility.

So when Gu Heng woke up, Gu Jue had become the most powerful person in the Gu family, and the two brothers began to completely break off relations and fight for power.

Gu Heng was indeed a ruthless person. He completely ignored his mother's attempts to reconcile them and used various methods to force Gu Jue and Su Ruanruan into dangerous situations several times. However, the male and female protagonists had their own halos, and Gu Heng, the main villain, eventually fell into the sea and died.

Once Gu Jue had completely taken control of the Gu family, he turned his attention to the Chu family, and Chu Xiang naturally met a bad end as well.

Chu Xiang nestled on the sofa, stroking her chin as she pondered her next move. Her father was currently abroad on business and would definitely not be back anytime soon. Her younger brother was still a senior in high school and couldn't help her with this kind of situation.

Chen Wanrou favored her youngest son and wholeheartedly approved of Gu Jue's engagement to Chu Xiang. After all, with the Chu family's connections, Gu Jue wouldn't have a bad life even if he was overshadowed by Gu Heng in the future. Therefore, Chen Wanrou would definitely not want Gu Jue and Chu Xiang to break off their engagement.

Chu Xiang is the eldest daughter of the Chu family, so her elders certainly wouldn't let her decide her marriage entirely.

However, Gu Jue and Su Ruanruan's love is stronger than gold. If Gu Jue insists on breaking off the engagement regardless of the consequences, and she cooperates well, she doesn't believe the engagement can't be broken off!

Two days later, Chu Xiang went to see Gu Jue, who was in detention.

In a short time, the once high-spirited second young master of the Gu family had become quite disheveled. As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. When he saw Chu Xiang, a smile appeared on his lips. "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Gu Jue had never been to a police station before; this was his first time. He originally thought it would just be a formality and he would be out soon, but he was wrong. This was arguably the most embarrassing time he had ever been.

Chu Xiang smiled happily, "Gu Jue, didn't you want to break off our engagement? I agree."

Gu Jue paused, "What did you say?"

Chu Xiang: "I said I agree to dissolve our engagement."

After the initial surprise, Gu Jue's eyes showed suspicion. He had grown up with Chu Xiang and knew her quite well. Chu Xiang was intolerant of any imperfections and had a strong possessive streak. For example, when they were young, they played house, pretending to be the bride and groom. From then on, Chu Xiang would never allow any other woman to play Gu Jue's bride.

Gu Jue did not want to obey his family's arrangement to marry Chu Xiang, so he was particularly rebellious and often had affairs. He and Chu Xiang were frequently at odds, but Chu Xiang had never said that she wanted to break off the engagement with him.

Gu Jue suspected that Chu Xiang was setting a trap for him to fall into.

He looked at Chu Xiang suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Chu Xiang calmly said, "We've been fighting for so many years, and I'm getting tired of it. Since you don't like me, why should I force it? Breaking off the engagement will benefit both of us. You can be with whoever you like in the future, and I can find someone who reciprocates my feelings."

Gu Jue: "Are you telling the truth?"

Chu Xiang: "Of course it's true, but you'll need to make an effort to get your family to agree to annul the engagement. As for my family, I'll naturally persuade my father."

Gu Jue still couldn't quite believe it, "You're not lying to me?"

Chu Xiang smiled slightly, "You'll be out of the police station tomorrow, so consider this a token of my sincerity."

It's unclear how much of a shadow Chu Xiang left on Gu Jue when they were young. Gu Jue was still skeptical of Chu Xiang's sincerity, but it was good that Chu Xiang said she was willing to break off the engagement. He smiled and said, "Sure, I'd be happy to break off the engagement."

Chu Xiang didn't linger. After all, her purpose in coming here was just to talk to Gu Jue. Stepping out of the police station, she felt completely relaxed. Once she was out of the drama of the male and female leads' torturous love story, she felt that her life would be much more comfortable from now on.

Standing at the entrance of the police station, a gust of wind made her eyes feel itchy again, as if dust had gotten into them. She raised her hand to rub her eyes, which then became moist. She had cried a lot the day before yesterday while acting with Chen Wanrou, and her eyelids had been a little red for the past two days. She wondered if she had developed blepharitis.

She plans to go to the hospital to get checked out later.

Inside a black car parked by the roadside, Assistant Yin, in the driver's seat, said sympathetically, "Miss Chu is crying again. I wonder what nasty things the Second Young Master said to her."

The man sitting in the back was flipping through the documents in his hands. Even though it was his day off, he didn't allow himself to rest peacefully. Hearing this, he looked up.

Not far away, a girl in a green floral dress stood out, her figure slender. She had her hair tied in a ponytail and looked youthful and lively, but her eyes were red and brimming with tears. Her pretty face was filled with sorrow, and she stood there all alone, looking quite pitiful.

Assistant Yin was still sighing, "Miss Chu is really deeply in love with the second young master."

To be honest, Gu Heng didn't think Gu Jue had anything that made him fall deeply in love. Ultimately, it was just that Chu Xiang was a girl who was obsessed with love. But being obsessed with love wasn't necessarily a bad thing. She was simple-minded and would only torment Gu Jue with each other, which would prevent them from causing trouble outside.

This is precisely why Gu Heng felt that Chu Xiang and Gu Jue were a good match.

Chu Xiang didn't realize that the car parked by the roadside belonged to the Gu family. As she walked over, the car window opened, and Assistant Yin greeted her, "Miss Chu."

Chu Xiang stopped in her tracks. "Assistant Yin?"

Assistant Yin said, "It's the weekend today. Mr. Gu and I came to deliver some clean clothes to the second young master. We didn't expect to run into Miss Chu here."

Chu Xiang looked behind her.

The glass window was lowered, revealing Gu Heng, a handsome man with a reserved demeanor. He said, "Miss Chu."

Chu Xiang could only offer a polite smile, "Mr. Gu."

This time, Chen Wanrou wasn't there, so she didn't have to act with her and could only respectfully call him Mr. Gu.

Gu Heng shifted his gaze slightly and could see her red eyes. He wondered how many times the child had cried for Gu Jue these past few days. Her eyes were always red, watery, and overflowing with grievance.

This reminded him of the red-eyed rabbit he had raised as a child, but sadly, that rabbit later died in the doghouse.
