Chapter 44: Mr. Gu cancels the engagement!
Su Mengxue smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Gu Yunting, as well as the cold aura emanating from him. She struggled to get away from him, but he held her tightly in his arms, unable to move at all.
She looked up and saw his dark pupils swirling with obscure emotions. She forced herself to maintain a calm appearance, looking away, and replied lightly, "What else? Is there some other relationship between us?"
Gu Yunting raised his hand and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him. He said coldly, "Su Mengxue, you are so cruel to me!"
Su Mengxue was stunned by Gu Yunting's inexplicable words. Thinking of what Lu Yuanzhou had just said, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she said unnaturally: "Gu Yunting, I don't understand what you are saying! You hurt me, hurry up..."
"If you don't understand, then I'll show you." After he said that, he held the back of Su Mengxue's head with his palm, bent down and kissed her lips.
Su Mengxue's pupils suddenly shrank, and the words she hadn't finished were swept up in the hot and humid breath. She reacted quickly and pushed him away with all her strength.
Gu Yunting was not prepared for Su Mengxue to push him away. He lost his balance and staggered backwards until he fell heavily against the wall.
Su Mengxue looked at the drunk Gu Yunting in front of her. She wiped her mouth vigorously and asked angrily, "Gu Yunting, don't get drunk and come to me to make trouble!"
At the same time, her cheeks flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching all the way to her ears.
Gu Yunting supported himself against the wall and managed to stand upright. He staggered closer to Su Mengxue and said, "Su Mengxue, don't you understand? I like you."
Su Mengxue was stunned for a moment and immediately frowned. She felt that he and Lu Yuanzhou were both possessed by evil spirits today. Why did they both come to confess their love to her for no reason?
She bit her lip and said impatiently, "Gu Yunting, if you are drunk, go to bed and don't talk nonsense here."
She turned and walked away, but before she had taken a few steps, she was pulled back by Gu Yunting. Gu Yunting pressed her against the wall, holding her with his hands against the wall, and said with a determined look, "Su Mengxue, I am sober now. I really like you."
At this moment, the two of them were only a few feet apart. Su Mengxue could clearly feel Gu Yunting's heavy breathing and the strong smell of alcohol on him. She hated drunkards the most. She wanted to break free from his restraints but couldn't.
She turned her head to avoid the alcohol that sprayed on her face, and said in a cold and hard voice: "Gu Yunting, the smell of alcohol on you makes me sick. Not only do I dislike you, but I also dislike your strong personality."
Gu Yunting noticed the disgust in her eyes. After hearing what she said, all the words in his heart were choked in his throat. Su Mengxue didn't like him, and even had a blatant dislike for him. A mist rose in his eyes, which were still drunk, and he suddenly felt that his current behavior was extremely ridiculous.
After a moment's silence, he looked at Su Mengxue and said in a hoarse voice: "Su Mengxue, consider me redundant." After that, he left dejectedly.
Su Mengxue is a staunch non-marriageist. She doesn't believe in marriage and even less in men. She thinks that if a woman wants to live a good life, the first thing she has to do is to cut off all emotions and love, so she will not choose either Gu Yunting or Lu Yuanzhou.
She looked at Gu Yunting's back as he left, and stood there. No matter whether what he said just now was drunken talk or the truth, all she thought about was that she had to move out of the Gu family as soon as possible.
After Su Mengxue returned to the courtyard and locked the door, Sun Suqin emerged from the wall. She scoffed. Fortunately, she had sent people to monitor Gu Yunting's whereabouts. Otherwise, how could she have witnessed Gu Yunting's decline to be despised by a country bumpkin?
She looked at the yard not far away, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Gu Yunting scolded her mercilessly last night. How could she swallow this? Since he liked Su Mengxue, she must break them up so that she could vent her hatred.
…
Su Mengxue woke up in the middle of the night because of hunger. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up. Thinking about what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: She is not a love-brained person who is satisfied with love. If God really pities her, could he not give her this useless love and drop some money from the sky for her?
After she got rid of this unrealistic idea, she returned to reality and began to think about how to make money. But the thought of making money made her even more worried.
After all this trouble, not only did she not make any money, she also almost lost all the money that Gu Yunting gave her. What's more worrying is that she still owes Lu Yuanzhou a fine of 300 yuan that he paid for her.
Thinking about the jade pendant again, even if Chen Yanzhi could give her some more time for Lu Yuanzhou's sake, she had no start-up capital and could not raise enough money to buy the jade pendant in a short time!
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Su Mengxue slapped her forehead vigorously. Her career has been going smoothly in recent years, but why did she fall behind in the backward 1980s?
She thought about it until dawn but still had no idea what to do. She decided to wash up and have breakfast first before anything else. Then she thought that Gu Yunting might be in the front hall as well, and she felt extremely embarrassed again.
But these were far less important than being hungry, so after washing up, she went straight to the front hall.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she found Gu Changhe sitting alone at the table. Gu Yunting was nowhere to be seen. She sighed secretly, walked quickly to Gu Changhe, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Gu, I came back too late yesterday and didn't bother you. I heard from Gu Yunting that you already knew about my situation. Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a false alarm."
Gu Changhe raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him for Su Mengxue to sit down. After looking her up and down for a few times, he said with a worried look on his face, "Mengxue, you must take care of your health in the future. Don't take your health lightly just because you're young. Since you have low blood sugar, remember to carry sugar with you in the future. I wanted to go to the hospital to see you, but Yun Ting said you needed to rest well, so I didn't go."
Hypoglycemia? Su Mengxue paused for a moment before realizing that Gu Yunting had told Gu Changhe that she was in the hospital due to hypoglycemia.
She pursed her lips. The fewer people who knew about the fight, the better. She responded repeatedly, "Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I'm fine now."
"Child, you are just too thin. You should eat more in the future." Gu Changhe said as he picked up some food for Su Mengxue.
Su Mengxue quickly picked up the plate in front of her and took it, saying with a smile, "I understand, Grandpa Gu."
After dinner, just as Su Mengxue was about to get up and leave, Gu Changhe pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her: "Child, I didn't think it through before. I only realized it after Yun Ting said it. Take these."
Su Mengxue reached out to take it. She opened the handkerchief curiously and saw a stack of Great Unity coupons and a pile of cloth coupons, grain coupons and sugar coupons inside.
Although she was short of money, how could she accept Gu Changhe's money, especially since he treated her as his future daughter-in-law.
"Grandpa Gu, I can't accept this." Su Mengxue quickly folded the handkerchief and handed it to Gu Changhe.
Gu Changhe refused to answer. He looked at Su Mengxue, sighed heavily, and said with regret: "Mengxue, Yun Ting told me about you two this morning. Child, since you have no interest in Yun Ting, I don't want to force you anymore. From now on, I will treat you as my own granddaughter. If you have any problems, just come to me."
