Chapter 843 Sang Ruo learns that Gong Lian outwardly complies but inwardly defies orders

From this perspective, it's not really a huge loss.

“But if you do this, you’ll only hurt yourself in the end.” Sang Ruo stared at the bitter smile on her lips, somewhat worried: “Before marriage and after marriage are different. What if Xu Chen does something to you while you’re married? Who can you complain to then?”

She had been in an unhappy marriage and knew what married life was like—a life of mutual respect and mutual loathing. That's why she repeatedly confirmed things before marrying Ayan.

It's because she stumbled and fell so many times in her previous unhappy marriage that she's afraid to try again.

Now that Nan Chu is getting married, it should be a good thing, but she no longer has any feelings for Xu Chen, yet she still wants to marry him for the sake of her family business.

She simply couldn't bear to see Nan Chu follow in her footsteps.

"Alright, sister-in-law, stop trying to persuade me. The wedding invitations have already been sent out, and my wedding with Xu Chen is just around the corner. It's no use trying to persuade me now." Lu Nanchu smiled faintly, "These are the invitations my father asked me to give you. Please be sure to come."

Sang Ruo still looked worried, but Bo Jinyan added on her behalf, "Okay, we'll definitely be there."

"By the way, cousin-in-law, there's something I think you need to know." Lu Nanchu thought of Wen Qingyi working as a maid in the Gong family, and she didn't know if Sang Ruozhi knew about it: "It's about Wen Qingyi and Gong Lianfu getting back together."

What happened between Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian?

If she hadn't mentioned it, Sang Ruo would have almost forgotten about Gong Lian, but she still asked, "Hasn't it already spread that the two of them are back together? Is there something going on?"

Moreover, the reason why Gong Lian reconciled with Wen Qingyi was because she forced Gong Lian.

"The news of their reconciliation has already spread in the industry, but the truth is different from the rumors." Seeing that she didn't know, Lu Nanchu blurted out, "Gong Lian's reconciliation with Wen Qingyi is just a pretense. Wen Qingyi is not reconciling with him now. On the contrary, she stays by Gong Lian's side and works as his personal maid!"

"Moreover, Gong Lian also returned the five million that Xu Chen spent on Wen Qingyi, and told me about Xu Chen's plan to sell my New York wedding house..." She paused, then asked with some concern, "Sister-in-law, did you know about these things?"

Judging from Sang Ruo's expression, she seemed to know nothing at all.

What tricks is Gong Lian playing behind the scenes?

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo was shocked and remained stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She asked incredulously, "Is what you said true? Gong Lian kept Wen Qingyi by his side as his personal maid? Wasn't it supposed to be a complete relationship? How did the girlfriend become a maid?"

Even if the engagement is broken off, she's still his girlfriend, right? So, he's just keeping her by his side as his personal maid?

What kind of crazy move is this?

Why does she not quite understand?

"I don't know either." Lu Nanchu only gleaned the truth from snippets of conversation between Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi: "I received a call from Gong Lian and went to his house as a guest. Then he returned the five million to me and even had Wen Qingyi serve me tea and water..."

“Sister-in-law, you didn’t see how aggrieved and resentful Wen Qingyi looked. But I am a guest and she is a servant. This difference in status makes her look very uncomfortable.”

Only Wen Qingyi herself knows the true feelings behind it all.

Sang Ruo listened incredulously: "This is unbelievable! I asked him to get back together with Wen Qingyi, but he just pretended to agree. On the surface, he agreed, but in reality, he kept her by his side as a maid? What exactly is Gong Lian trying to do?"

"Alright, cousin-in-law, I've told you what happened. Just keep it to yourself and don't say I told you." Lu Nanchu didn't want to be targeted by Gong Lian. "I've left the invitation here. I'm leaving now."

Sang Ruo nodded gently: "Okay, take care."

As she spoke, she gave Uncle Jiang a wink, signaling him to help see the guests out.

After Uncle Jiang understood, he saw Lu Nanchu out, leaving only her and Bo Jinyan in the living room.

"Xiao Ruo?" Bo Jinyan asked tentatively, "Are you still worried about Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi? Those two are birds of a feather, it's none of our business what they do, right?"

She should only see him; how could she see other men?

He didn't really like the way she seemed troubled by Gong Lian.

Sang Ruo smiled faintly and said, "Ayan, I'm not worried about their affairs. I'm wondering what Gong Lian's true purpose is in this double-dealing. Is he simply targeting and tormenting Wen Qingyi on my behalf, or does he have some other motive?"

If this issue isn't resolved, she and Ayan might have another enemy.

This is also why she had an ambiguous relationship with him before.

It's because having one more ally means having one less enemy.

“Xiao Ruo, don’t take his words too seriously.” Bo Jinyan knew Gong Lian’s purpose: “Just like when he said he liked you, do you believe he really likes you? Or is he just trying to use you to get back at me? I’ve been his mortal enemy for so many years, I know his character very well.”

His so-called liking is more like a form of exploitation.

He had argued with Xiao Ruo before because of Gong Lian's feelings for her, and they had caused quite a few troubles. But looking back carefully, he realized that Gong Lian's so-called love was really too fragile.

Compared to Gong Lian's feelings for Wen Qingyi over the years, his feelings for Xiao Ruo came out of nowhere. He could believe it was just a crush, but what about love?

hehe.

Sang Ruo also felt that his affection was too sudden and seemed a bit inexplicable: "I have never believed that he likes me. His feelings for me come from the unrequited love he had for Wen Qingyi. It is a kind of loss, a transfer of emotions. Only he knows best how much of it is true and how much is false."

She always believed that as long as Wen Qingyi truly fell in love with Gong Lian, Gong Lian would definitely return to Wen Qingyi's side without holding a grudge.

Wen Qingyi was his true love.

Compared to a cinnabar mole, the white moonlight is definitely more lethal.

It's just that this "white moonlight" was too demanding, which consumed most of his emotions, but it doesn't mean that the "white moonlight" had no influence on his heart at all.

"Isn't that enough?" Bo Jinyan's slender fingers kept stroking the back of her hand. "As long as he doesn't interfere with us, I can ignore this mortal enemy."

It's unclear what Gong Lian is planning this time.

If it's simply about avenging Xiao Ruo, he'd be happy to see it, as it would save him a lot of trouble.

However, if he uses this incident to divert Xiao Ru's attention and has other motives, then he must be on guard.
