Ex-Husband, Please Let Go

For two years of their hidden marriage, Ji Shuyu poured all her love into Gu Xiuyuan. She thought she could finally enter his heart, but it couldn't stand against the return of his old flame.

Chapter 18 I Must Teach You a Lesson

Ji Shuyu hurried out of the house while calling Mu Ran. She had just said that she wanted to find her too.

Ji Shuyu's eyes twitched violently. She hoped that this girl wouldn't get into any trouble, otherwise the Mu family's rules were no joke.

"Xiao Yu'er~" Mu Ran rushed over as soon as they met. She was still wearing her favorite red, lively and enthusiastic. "You called me so early in the morning, did you really miss me?"

Ji Shuyu looked at her, "Ranran, are you hiding something from me?"

She seemed in a good mood, unusually good.

"No!" She shook her head in denial.

As she was speaking, her cell phone rang.

Looking at the unsigned number, only two words popped up in Ji Shuyu's mind: It's over.

Hospital.

When Ji Shuyu and the other person rushed to Su Yan's ward, the medical staff were busy coming in and out, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

Looking at this scene, Ji Shuyu became more and more worried.

"Tsk, so pretentious!" Mu Ran rolled her eyes.

In the ward, Gu Xiuyuan's face was gloomy and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made it difficult to breathe.

Su Yan was lying on the hospital bed. Her hair and clothes had only been simply done, but she still looked disheveled.

As soon as he saw them come in, tears welled up in his eyes and he shrank back.

Seeing Su Yan lying on the hospital bed, Ji Shuyu's eyes widened in shock, and Mu Ran was even more confused.

She wanted to say that each person should take the blame, and that she was the one who poured the soup on Su Yan's head, but...how, how could this happen?

When Gu Xiuyuan saw Ji Shuyu and Mu Ran appear, his face suddenly became even gloomier, and the temperature around them dropped a few centimeters.

"What... happened?" She looked at Gu Xiuyuan, whose face was as hard as iron, and asked tentatively.

Ji Shuyu couldn't be sure what Su Yan said, but what was certain was that "the situation must be very serious", at least that was what Su Yan let Gu Xiuyuan see.

Gu Xiuyuan remained silent. Ji Shuyu felt bitter as she looked at his familiar, cold eyes.

Why could she always read his suspicions in a second?

Gu Xiuyuan glanced at Ji Shuyu, and finally his gaze fell on Mu Ran.

Mu Ran shuddered and wanted to hide as much as possible.

Although she always spoke of being strong, she was actually afraid of Gu Xiuyuan since she was a child.

But now she is Xiaoyuer's support, and she can't let her be bullied. In the end, she suppressed her fear, straightened her chest, and met his gaze.

It was clearly their fault, so what right did he have to be so angry?

Su Yan curled up in bed, looking at the two girls in front of her with tears in her eyes. Just like when she was young, her eyes showed envy and the sadness of wanting to fit in, but always being excluded.

"What the hell do you two want?" Su Yan, lying on the hospital bed, clutched her stomach and sobbed. "I've tried so hard to avoid you. Please let me go, okay..."

She felt wronged and pitiful, as if she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she portrayed the grievance of enduring and being bullied vividly.

Ji Shuyu looked at her speechlessly.

How much does she look down on her and how much does she disdain her for him to throw dirty water on her to her face again and again?

Relying on Gu Xiuyuan's trust and favor?

She asked, but she already had the answer in her heart: Isn't this enough? She relied on those.

Mu Ran looked at Su Yan acting on the hospital bed and was so angry that she was smoking.

"Hey, woman, will you die if you don't act delicate?"

She rolled up her sleeves and made a move forward.

Su Yan screamed in fear and threw herself into Gu Xiuyuan's arms: "Xiuyuan..."

Looking at this scene, Ji Shuyu felt a sharp pain in his heart and his body shook.

"Su Yan!!"

Mu Ran couldn't stand this white lotus since she was a child.

Originally, I just wanted to scare her, but the scene before me really stimulated her.

She rushed forward angrily, as if she was going to tear her apart.

'Ranran'

Ji Shuyu called her, but no sound came out when she moved her lips. She stretched out her hands to pull Mu Ran, but she was too weak to hold on and fell to the ground.

Her knees hit the ground with a dull thud, and she shuddered in pain, her cheeks becoming even more pale.

Seeing this, Gu Xiuyuan wanted to step forward, but his movement almost brought Su Yan off the bed.

"Ah~" she cried softly.

Gu Xiuyuan stretched out his arms to protect her and helped Su Yan, who was about to fall to the ground, onto the bed.

Su Yan grabbed him in fear and whispered: Don't leave me...

"Xiao Yu'er!!" Seeing Ji Shuyu being pulled down by her, Mu Ran immediately rushed over. "How are you? Does it hurt?!"

She regretted and blamed herself, blaming herself for being impulsive and causing Xiaoyuer to fall.

Ji Shuyu shook her head weakly, indicating no.

Mu Ran helped her up, and Ji Shuyu supported herself on the ground, but she was too weak and fell down twice when she tried to get up.

Mu Ran was so heartbroken that tears came out.

Although she had never loved so deeply, she was really sad to see her friend in such heartbreaking pain.

Ji Shuyu slowly raised her head and looked at the man holding Su Yan a few steps away. Her throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand and she couldn't breathe.

Oh……

She smiled, her eyes blurred with tears, she couldn't see anything clearly, the tears in her eyes burst out, fell to the ground and shattered. Then, she stood up little by little, and stood firmly.

"Why did you call us here?" Ji Shuyu looked at him.

Gu Xiuyuan glanced at Ji Shuyu, whose face was pale, pursed his lips slightly, and then coldly ordered Mu Ran: "Mu Ran, apologize."

Apologize, and it's over.

Mu Ran, who was already fuming, was suddenly named, and instantly became even angrier.

"Why didn't you say anything when she was slandering Xiao Yu'er and me?!" Mu Ran was so angry that she jumped up and down, forgetting her fear of him. "I won't! As long as I'm here, you two can't bully Xiao Yu'er."

Gu Xiuyuan looked at this spoiled little girl, his temples throbbing. He never considered himself a "brother", but today she really had a hard time.

"Either apologize, or I'll call Grandpa Mu..."

Threatening grandpa?

"Ha!" Mu Ran laughed sarcastically, "You want me to apologize to that mistress? Dream on!"

Su Yan, who had been crying weakly and waiting for the opportunity, finally got it. Looking at the spoiled little princess, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Ranran, how can you say that~" Su Yan put on a sad and humiliated look. "You know very well that Xiuyuan and I are the ones in love..."

Ji Shuyu was already numb from the pain. She looked at Gu Xiuyuan and saw his expression change when he heard the word "love", and smiled bitterly.

In fact, this is a well-known answer. Everyone around him knows that he loves Su Yan.

"Su Yan, you, you...bitch!" Mu Ran was furious. For a moment, she didn't know what to curse and rushed over. "Today, I must teach you a lesson."

"Ah~" Su Yan screamed and dodged.

Gu Xiuyuan grabbed Mu Ran's wrist and shouted coldly: "Have you had enough of this trouble?!"

Mu Ran struggled. "Gu Xiuyuan, you bastard...ah——"

The sudden shouting made Ji Shuyu's heart skip a beat. It was bad enough that she herself was useless, but how could she let Ranran be bullied?

She took a few steps forward, grabbed Gu Xiuyuan's wrist, and gritted her teeth: "Let go."

Her eyes were red, like a wounded little leopard. Gu Xiuyuan had never seen her look like this before.

At this moment, he felt a splitting headache, anger and helplessness. Seeing her weak appearance, he let go.

Ji Shuyu's body swayed slightly, and Gu Xiuyuan held her up.

Su Yan glanced at Mu Ran, then stood up. "Xiao Yu, you didn't..."

That provocative look immediately stimulated Mu Ran.

"Don't touch her." She shouted and waved her hands, but before she could touch her, Su Yan screamed and fell off the bed. The next moment, blood flowed from her body...
