The "clattering" sound came from the stairs behind her again, slowly pulling Su Ning back to her memories of four years ago. She froze for a moment, and then heard Su Xincheng's furious voice in her ears.

"Su Ning!"

Su Xincheng quickly stepped forward and forcefully pushed away Chen Ma, who was blocking Su Ning's way. She raised her hand to slap Su Ning's swollen cheek again, but a cold ray of light shot from a distance, like a knife piercing her body and making her tremble. For some reason, she didn't bring herself to slap Su Ning's cheek.

Qiao Yimo, who was crying beside her, watched smugly as Su Xincheng helped her teach Su Ning a lesson. She wanted to see what this cripple would dare to say next. Just as Su Xincheng's hand froze in mid-air, she took a breath, preparing to burst into pitiful sobs, when a man walked right into everyone's view.

A white shirt and black trousers—this simplest of outfits is captivating; nothing could be more beautiful than this.

The moment he stood there, the atmosphere around him instantly froze, so cold that Su Xincheng's hand trembled. Fearfully, she lowered her hand and inexplicably dared not look up at Gu Jingchen.

Su Ning didn't turn around. He left the Gu family early this morning to come here and coax his beloved woman.

He must have heard what I just said. Although she has become his wife, he definitely doesn't trust her.

Su Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly, not intending to say anything more.

"Brother Chen!"

When Gu Jingchen came downstairs, Qiao Yimo was the most excited. With tears in her eyes, she ran over happily, "Are you awake? Did we disturb you?"

“I heard you crying, so I came down to check on you.”

"Brother Chen, I'm fine." Qiao Yimo shook her head, then looked at Su Ning behind her, tears welling up in her eyes again. "My sister clearly doesn't love you anymore, so why did she marry you!"

Gu Jingchen did not respond. He looked up and his gaze fell on Su Ning.

She sat upright in her wheelchair, her slender, white fingers slowly tracing her legs. Her beautiful profile was reflected in his deep eyes, where a clear handprint ignited a fire in them. His emotions reached their peak, and he lost control, asking in an icy voice, "Who hit me!"

His words startled everyone present. Su Ning stiffened, and her hands, which were resting on her lap, involuntarily clenched into fists.

"It's like this..."

In front of a younger person, Su Xincheng, as the general manager of the Su Group, felt so guilty that she didn't know how to answer.

Four years ago, Su Xincheng knew very well how good Gu Jingchen and Su Ning's relationship was. In the past four years, she hadn't really enjoyed seeing Gu Jingchen, but Momo liked him. Now, her biggest worry was that Su Ning would use tricks to snatch Gu Jingchen away from the kind-hearted Momo.

"Brother Chen!"

Qiao Yimo was even more nervous than Su Xincheng. She grabbed Gu Jingchen's hand, and tears streamed down her face. Her pitiful appearance was irresistible to most men.

"My mother did all this for me."

"My sister took you from me, and that's why Mom scolded her."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Qiao Yimo said again, tears welling up in her eyes.

"How can you blame yourself!" Su Xincheng felt extremely sorry for Qiao Yimo when she saw her blaming herself. "It's your mother's fault for not disciplining your sister properly!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Ning, who was sneering at her with disgust.

“Mr. Gu, Momo’s feelings for you are genuine…” Su Xincheng reminded her indirectly. After she finished speaking, she found that Gu Jingchen’s face was tense and his dark eyes were staring at her, making her heart tremble and her throat dry so that she could not utter a single word.

"They definitely deserved to be hit!"

Gu Jingchen spoke slowly and coldly, then shifted his gaze to Qiao Yimo.
