"Gu..." The man wanted to speak, but was silenced by someone's gesture.

Gu Xiuyuan covered Ji Shuyu's eyes, and the slight tremors of her body pierced his heart.

Xia Zhenzhen was pinned to the ground, glaring at them angrily. Gu Xiuyuan glanced at her coldly, then gestured indifferently to the man. She was then dragged into the private room...

Gu Xiuyuan could feel the wetness in his palms, and then he covered her ears.

Before the door to the private room closed, everyone heard several terrifying, excited laughs and Xia Zhenzhen's faint screams...

This sudden scene stunned everyone. Although it was a game in certain circles and no secret, seeing it with one's own eyes... it was still "shocking"...

"Hey, what's going on?" someone asked curiously.

"Shh..." another voice stopped him, "What else could it be? I've offended someone!"

"How could we offend such a small-time character like the Xia family..."

"Don't worry, don't ask. Just know not to offend anyone." The man laughed. "But the Xia family is also interesting. Xia Zhenzhen's father slept with someone else's wife, and then someone retaliated by having sex with his daughter. Tsk..." The man said, as if it was just a boring gossip. "Come on! Let's continue."

After watching the excitement, everyone returned to the private room and the music started playing again, as if nothing had happened...

…

Ji Shuyu was led out of the club. Only when she walked out of the door and the noise in her ears disappeared did she breathe a sigh of relief, and then she couldn't control her tears.

She never knew she could hate someone so much, hate her so much that she would watch her die without helping, hate her so much that... she wanted her dead.

It turns out that she can be so cruel...

Gu Xiuyuan could see her entanglement and pain, and could deeply understand the hatred in her heart.

He took two steps forward and stretched out his arms to hug her, but Ji Shuyu stepped back and wiped away her tears.

Gu Xiuyuan's heart twitched, and he slowly lowered his hanging arm.

He received a call saying that someone saw Miss Ji here, so he hurried over.

He knew that Qian Yongfeng's newlywed wife was "entertaining" friends here on his behalf tonight, and he rushed over because he was worried that she would see the dirty thing, but he was still a step too late...

He had thought he could always protect her, but now he had let her fall into this ugly situation.

She has lost weight. When I hugged her just now, I found that she has lost a lot of weight.

She did not stay in Yuyuan to recuperate as she had said before, but just told her aunt not to tell her grandmother about it.

She called her grandmother as usual to say hello, but after so many days, her grandmother didn't notice anything.

She didn't take back any of the houses he gave her, nor did she touch any of the money. She... deleted his contact information, and he couldn't see her updates...

He had a lot to say and wanted to take a good look at her, but before he could open his mouth, her cell phone rang.

"Xiaoyu, are you out?"

There was a lively female voice on the other end of the phone, and he recognized it was her colleague.

"Yes, it's out!" Ji Shuyu held the phone with a smile on her lips.

Although it was not very shallow, she really smiled...

She felt a little happier after leaving him.

This realization made Gu Xiuyuan's heart ache.

The wind was a little chilly tonight, and he wanted to give her his coat, but just as he moved, she stepped back a little.

He wanted to say that he didn't mean anything else, but in the end he didn't explain.

Her colleague will be here soon, and I don’t have much time left to watch her quietly like this.

I didn't want to even be able to watch like this, so I stood not too far away, and soon I saw two figures coming.

There was a boy with Xiao V, probably because he was worried that she might be in danger and wanted to provide help.

Ji Shuyu stepped forward and couldn't help but smile.

"How is it going? Is it going well?"

"Yeah, that's good." She smiled.

"I knew you could do it." Little V hugged her happily, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Hello, sister~" the boy called sweetly, and Ji Shuyu chuckled at him.

Little V saw Gu Xiuyuan behind him and nodded slightly.

I can always see him outside the studio these days, and he also asked about Xiaoyu's mood indirectly.

After their business trip, Xiaoyu took sick leave and has been acting strangely ever since. She wanted to ask, but Sister Manning wouldn't let her.

"Come on!" Ji Shuyu held her back.

"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan walked forward, took off his coat and put it on her, then buttoned it up domineeringly.

The boy's sweet "sister" was so irritating, and her smile was even more annoying.

Ji Shuyu frowned and was about to speak when she was interrupted.

"It's cold, let's go back home early!"

Ji Shuyu looked at him and realized that he was not wearing a striped shirt, but a hospital gown.

"I'm fine, you just..."

"Put it on!" Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her hand as she was unbuttoning her shirt, "Come back soon."

His hands were burning hot and his complexion seemed a little abnormal.

Ji Shuyu moved her lips but didn't ask in the end.

Little V looked at the two of them and wanted to pull the boy next to him away, but was pulled back.

"Thank you for waiting for me tonight, I'll treat you to something to eat!"

Little V wanted to refuse, but he held his own hand really tightly.

"Okay." Little V smiled.

"Sister, who is that person?" the boy asked.

"Friend brother 㱕 friend."

Gu Xiuyuan stood there, listening to the question-and-answer conversation, his heart aching.

Now... in her heart, he is just Brother Mu Ran's friend.

Look at the hand I just held with her.

The warmth there has already been blown away by the wind, but I still hold it against my chest.

This is the only way to feel her now.

Gu Xiuyuan returned to the car.

Zhou Rui saw this and hurried over to help him. His wound had been infected and he had been running a fever for several days, and he was taking medicine to cope with it. Every day, he watched the young lady go home from work, and then went to the company to work overtime.

When he entered the office today, the boss was already sick with a fever.

I was taken to the hospital for an IV drip, and just as my fever had subsided, I received a call. I rushed out without even having time to change my clothes.

"Boss, let's go back to the hospital!"

"Go off work!" Gu Xiuyuan took out a cigarette.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't smoke anymore."

"It's okay, let's go back!"

Zhou Rui wanted to say something, but finally nodded, "Then you should go back early."

Gu Xiuyuan walked around to the cab and lit a cigarette.

He was always worried about whether she would be unsafe being alone so late at night, whether she would meet strange people on the bus, or whether she would miss her stop because she was confused.

These days she proved to him with her actions that she could do it on her own.

She can take care of herself, he should be more at ease!

But why does it hurt so much?

…

Ji Shuyu had a final communication and confirmation with the customer in the car, and the bus arrived at the station just as the communication was finished.

After packing her things, she got out of the car.

It takes about 40 minutes to get from the studio to my residence, and it's dark by the time I get home every day.

The neighborhood is a bit old, and the street lights sometimes work and sometimes don't. Unfortunately, they were broken today.

Ji Shuyu swallowed her saliva, took out her phone from her bag to take a picture, and then quickened her pace. However, she hadn't gone far when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind...
