Chapter 68 Jiang Shiyi threatens to commit suicide!
A hint of sadness flashed across Jiang Shiyi's eyes. Her fingertips gripped the seatbelt tightly, and the curve of her mouth froze on her face. After a long while, she asked with red eyes and a trembling voice, "Brother Yunting, you... do you have someone you like?"
Gu Yunting looked at her and replied decisively: "Yes, I have someone I like."
Jiang Shiyi felt a pang of sadness in her nose when she saw Gu Yunting's resolute reply. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying.
After enduring it again and again, she suppressed her emotions and looked up to ask, "Brother Yunting, what about the engagement we made when we were young? Does it mean it doesn't count? Then what am I...?"
Seeing her distressed look, Gu Yunting felt very uncomfortable. After all, her disappearance was related to him. Before she was found, he had thought countless times that after she was found, he must treat her twice as well. He also thought that if she was still willing, he would fulfill his promise to marry her.
But all these plans changed after he met Su Mengxue. Su Mengxue entered his heart, and he could no longer see anyone other than her.
He softened his tone and said, "Shi Yi, our engagement was made by our elders when we were children. So many years have passed, we shouldn't be trapped by it. We should marry the person we love and spend the rest of our lives with him or her."
Jiang Shiyi's tears welled up in her eyes. She cried and said with grievance, "Brother Yunting, do you think I was abducted to the countryside all these years? Do you think I'm uneducated? Do I don't do things decently? Is that why you look down on me?"
As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed the corner of Gu Yunting's clothes, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably: "Brother Yunting, my brother said he would help me find a tutor to teach me how to read. Don't worry, I will learn quickly. I will definitely become like Miss Jiao here. You...you believe me, okay? Brother Yunting, you believe me!"
Gu Yunting felt a tightness in his stomach when she said that. His Adam's apple rolled twice with difficulty, his eyes filled with helplessness and guilt. "Shi Yi, this has nothing to do with whether you're from the countryside or educated. Love can't be forced. I already have someone in my heart, and that can't be changed. Instead of wasting time on a fruitless engagement, why not meet someone you truly care about?"
Jiang Shiyi's heart plummeted to the bottom. She let go of Gu Yunting's sleeve, an indescribable look on her face, and then asked coldly, "Is the woman you like the one we just ran into?"
Gu Yunting never thought about hiding his feelings. He confessed, "Yes."
An expected sneer appeared on Jiang Shiyi's lips. "No wonder you lost your mind after seeing her. You even ignored my family who were waiting for us to go back and insisted on chasing after her."
Gu Yunting knew that Jiang Shiyi would not listen to anything he said, so he chose to remain silent.
Seeing that Gu Yunting was silent, Jiang Shiyi took it as his tacit agreement. She looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "What about her? Why do I feel like she doesn't like you?"
Gu Yunting's eyes dimmed slightly, but it was fleeting. He replied, "No matter what she thinks, my heart remains unchanged."
Jiang Shiyi dug her fingers into her palms. They both came from the countryside, so why was Su Mengxue so cherished by a man as outstanding as Gu Yunting, while she was only fit to be treated like a gangster...
She suppressed her resentment and put on a pitiful look, saying, "Brother Yunting, although I was only five years old when I was abducted, I still remember you and everything about our childhood. I remember how much hardship, hunger, and suffering I endured over the years. If I hadn't hoped that you would find me, I would have died long ago."
She paused, choking with sobs as she asked, "But how could you forget me so quickly? If you had found me a few years earlier and we had spent more time together, would you not have abandoned me now?"
"Shi Yi, I was sorry for what happened back then. I'm willing to make it up to you twice as much in the future. As long as you need me to do anything, I will definitely agree, except..."
Before Gu Yunting finished speaking, Jiang Shiyi interrupted: "Brother Yunting, then I want you to marry me immediately."
There was a resolute break in her voice.
"Shi Yi, except for this matter." Gu Yunting replied without hesitation.
Jiang Shiyi's lips curled up into a cold arc. "I knew you were lying to me, but if it weren't for you, how could I have lived a life worse than pigs and dogs for so many years? You are the cause of my current situation, and now you are so eager to distance yourself from me, Gu Yunting, I hate you!"
Jiang Shiyi said this while crying, then unbuckled her seat belt and quickly got out of the car.
As soon as Gu Yunting got out of the car and started chasing after me, Jiang Shiyi shouted coldly, "You should know what you'll face if you send me back. Since you don't want to, don't follow me! Otherwise, I'll be humiliated in public again. Even though I grew up in the countryside, I still have to maintain my dignity."
Gu Yunting hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He just stood there, stunned, watching Jiang Shiyi raise his hand to stop a car and leave.
He quickly came to his senses, fearing that the incident from his childhood would happen again. He quickly returned to the car and caught up with the car Jiang Shiyi was in. He followed her all the way home and only went to the hospital with a complicated expression after seeing her enter the Jiang family's door.
When he got to the old man's place, his emotions were clearly seen.
Gu Changhe looked at his youngest son, who looked dejected, and said earnestly, "Yun Ting, I understand your feelings. I was the one who arranged your marriage back then. If that day ever comes, I'm willing to sacrifice my old bones to go to the Jiang family and apologize. We can make amends in any way we can, but I don't want you to regret it for the rest of your life."
Gu Yunting raised his head and said, "Dad, I will take care of this matter. Just focus on recovering well."
…
After seeing the old man, Gu Yunting returned to the Gu family. In the middle of the night, he was still asleep when he heard a series of rapid knocks on the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, quickly put on his clothes and went to open the door.
After the door opened, he was knocked to the ground by a punch before he could react. He felt a sharp sting in his nose and a stream of warm blood gushed out. He looked up and saw Jiang Weilong, his eyes red and roaring, "Gu Yunting! What on earth did you say to my sister? You actually forced her to jump off the building!"
"Jump off the building? You said Shi Yi wanted to jump off the building?" Gu Yunting looked confused.
Seeing that he was still playing dumb, Jiang Weilong's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Gu Yunting, why are you pretending? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I think you've been bewitched by that vixen. She's just a calculating country bumpkin. I'll wake you up."
Before Jiang Weilong's fist could land, Gu Yunting raised his hand and grabbed his wrist.
Gu Yunting's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "Jiang Weilong, I accept whatever you do to me, but if you dare to insult Su Mengxue again, don't blame me for not being polite to you."
"You're still defending her at this point, what about my sister?" Jiang Weilong's face suddenly changed: "Gu Yunting, if you push me to the limit, believe it or not, I will make her disappear completely from Jiangbei!"
Gu Yunting was filled with anger. He suddenly stood up and approached, saying word by word, "Jiang Weilong, dare you touch her!"
