Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Someone called her: "Feng Wenyu."...
==Chapter 54==
Regardless of past and present lives, this person is crazy and acts without any scruples.
This guy is cautious and rarely leaves any evidence outside. Sometimes even Gu Yushi can't see through his intentions. To be honest, Gu Yushi is very reluctant to confront such a person. He would rather confront someone as meticulous as Feng Ge Lao, because being meticulous means there are traces to follow.
But madmen are unreasonable and illogical, and cannot be reasoned with using common sense.
Such a person is connected to Shen Jingchen. What role does Shen Jingchen play in this matter? Does he have any ulterior motives in approaching Feng Wenyu?
Before Gu Yushi could figure it out, his thoughts were interrupted by someone rushing over:
"Sir, Miss Feng is waiting for you at the mansion! Second Young Master, please return early!"
Gu Yushi was stunned for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "Who are you talking about?"
The visitor thought he hadn't explained clearly, so he hurriedly said, "The second young lady from the Minister's residence!"
Gu Yushi didn't say another word and got on the carriage. His voice was normal but with a hint of urgency: "Go back home!"
Gu family.
Feng Wenyu had already finished a cup of tea, while Gu Yuci was racking his brains to find a topic to talk about. Gu's mother also came. After all, Feng Wenyu was a female guest, and Gu Yuci had not returned, so Gu's mother could not let Gu Yuci entertain Feng Wenyu alone.
Worried that Feng Wenyu would feel neglected by her family, Gu's mother arrived in a hurry and sat in a somewhat reserved manner. After talking for a while, she asked in a somewhat obscure manner:
"Miss Feng, what's the matter with you coming to see Ah Shi?"
The person in front of her was very familiar, yet a little strange. In the dream, Mother Gu had fallen seriously ill after Gu Yuci's death, and her health had deteriorated. She passed away two years later. Even in her dream, she hadn't seen Mother Gu for several years.
Not to mention that she had heard with her own ears what Gu's mother had said before her death, forcing Gu Yu to take a concubine to continue the bloodline.
She had complicated feelings towards Gu's mother. To be fair, Gu's mother was not a very shrewd and mean mother-in-law. They had been married for twelve years. During the years when Gu's mother was alive, even though she was anxious about having an heir, she never embarrassed her. From the mother-in-law's point of view, it seemed that what Gu's mother could do was enough.
But for Feng Wenyu, she had a miscarriage and lost her child, and her health was damaged. After that, her mother-in-law urged her husband to take a concubine and have children, both openly and secretly. The pain in her heart was difficult to express to others.
If Gu Yushi had not been uncompromising in this regard, perhaps she and Gu Yushi would not have made it to their twelfth year of marriage.
If she married into a noble family like her elder sister, perhaps she would not care if the other party took a concubine. But Gu Yushi was different. When the two got married, he promised her that he would never take a concubine. So Gu Yushi could not cross the line!
Feng Wenyu had long realized her selfishness towards Gu Yushi. She knew very well that even if Gu Yushi had no children in his life, she would not allow Gu Yushi to take a concubine!
Once he had the idea of taking a concubine, their marriage would fall apart instantly.
Gu Yushi knew this better than she did, so even when his mother made this request before her death, Gu Yushi showed no sign of compromise.
When Gu's mother cried and said that the Gu family had wronged her and forced Gu Yushi to take a concubine, how did Gu Yushi respond?
He was silent for a long time before he said calmly, almost indifferently, "Since mother knows that this matter is unfair to her, she shouldn't mention it."
The crying in the room suddenly stopped, and fell into a suffocating silence.
Gu Yuci died young, and Gu Yushi had no descendants. The offspring that Gu's mother longed for never appeared before she died.
Feng Wenyu thought more than once, if Gu's mother knew what happened later, she would definitely regret asking her to marry Gu Yushi, right?
When Feng Wenyu was confused, she heard Mother Gu's question. She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions:
"I want to ask him something."
She didn't explain it clearly, but Mother Gu decided to stop and didn't ask any more questions.
Mother Gu looked at Feng Wenyu uncomfortably, secretly cursing her rebellious son for insisting on breaking off the engagement, which made her feel embarrassed when facing Feng's family.
She drank two cups of tea in a row, but a thought also arose in her heart. Feng Wenyu was still willing to set foot in the Gu family. Does it mean that there is still room for maneuver between the two of them?
With this thought in mind, when Gu Yushi returned home, his mother quickly got up and took Gu Yuci away with her to make room for the two of them.
It was obvious that Gu Yushi was in a hurry. When he stood there was a little sweat on his forehead. He lowered his eyes to look at her with his usual calm expression and asked in a low voice:
"You come to me."
He wanted to ask her if she had something to talk to him about, but when he spoke, it turned into these four words.
What Feng Wenyu hated most was his calm appearance, as if nothing could move him. The memories of her previous life kept echoing in her mind, and Feng Wenyu's mood inevitably became a little worse.
She pursed her lips, and under Gu Yushi's somewhat suspicious gaze, she finally spoke, too lazy to beat around the bush with him, and went straight to the point:
“Where is Shen Jingchen?”
Her tone was a little stiff.
The two of them hadn't had normal communication for a long time, and she almost forgot the scene of their warm conversation.
Gu Yushi did not answer immediately, but stood there for a long time before asking her, "You came to me to ask about Shen Jingchen?"
The tone was inexplicable. Feng Wenyu didn't understand, but the gaze falling on her became more and more substantial. She frowned slightly:
"Don't pretend you don't understand. Who else would take him away besides you?"
Feng Wenyu felt that Gu Yushi was pretending. She was already certain that Gu Yushi had taken Shen Jingchen away. She was a little flustered. He was still denying it at this time. Did he really attack Shen Jingchen?
Feng Wenyu had no doubt that Gu Yushi disliked Shen Jingchen.
Suddenly, someone called her, "Feng Wenyu."
Feng Wenyu looked up subconsciously, but the moment she met his gaze, she realized something and her breathing stopped for a moment.
She got the answer almost instantly.
——He recognized her.
Feng Wenyu's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. When she woke up and remembered that Gu Yushi had come to break off the engagement, she clearly realized that Gu Yushi also had those memories.
The two have already called off their engagement, and Feng Wenyu doesn't want to get entangled with Gu Yushi anymore.
So, after she recovered her memory, she didn't plan to let Gu Yushi know that she had those memories.
After knowing each other for fifteen years, no one could understand Gu Yushi better than her.
No matter how Gu Yushi feels about her now, as long as she has no memory of her past life, Gu Yushi will never be with her.
He would not allow himself to find a substitute in their relationship, even if that substitute was herself.
But Feng Wenyu never expected that Gu Yushi recognized her at just one encounter.
Feng Wenyu subconsciously took a step back, but someone grabbed her wrist, restraining her movements. He looked at her anxiously, his eyes as dark as if he had fallen into a cold pond, or as if a drowning man had grabbed the last piece of driftwood, causing Feng Wenyu's heart to tighten for a moment.
She couldn't help but say, "Let go!"
Gu Yushi didn't let go and continued to ask her:
"When did you come back?"
This scene was too much like the time when the two of them argued. Feng Wenyu reacted with pressure and raised his voice: "What does it have to do with you?"
Confirming that she did have memories of her past life, this realization broke down Gu Yushi's inner defenses. It was like a fire burning away his rationality. Emotions surged in his heart, but he suppressed them tightly. Gu Yushi's chest kept rising and falling:
“If it weren’t for Shen Jingchen, were you planning to keep it a secret from me?”
It's a cold autumn day, but today the sun is very warm, shining through the doors and windows into the living room and onto the two of them, so brightly that it's a bit painful.
Feng Wenyu was forced to take two steps back. Her wrist was tightly grasped by him, which was a little painful. However, the pain also made Feng Wenyu suddenly calm down. She raised her head and looked at Gu Yushi: "So what?"
"Master Gu, have you forgotten that you and I have already broken off our engagement?"
She raised her face, looked at him, and then said clearly, word by word: "You and I have nothing to do with each other now. Master Gu has crossed the line."
She said he had crossed a line.
Gu Yushi's whole body was stiff, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head. Instead of remaining calm, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.
Long before this, his heart felt as if a stone had fallen, tightening around him. He ignored the feeling, consciously on the right track, and chose to cancel the engagement. Until this moment, Feng Wenyu's words hit him hard on the head, and the pain became clearer and more tangible, almost seeping into his bones and blood, making his body feel heavy.
He simply couldn't accept that the two of them had no relationship anymore.
Otherwise, in his previous life, he would not have preferred the two of them to torture each other rather than write the divorce letter as she wished.
During the first month after returning, he kept avoiding Feng Wenyu because he was thinking about their future together and he didn't dare to see her until he saw her at Qiao's house. At that moment, he clearly heard the sound of cold wind pouring into his world.
——She is indeed not herself.
He had to accept that that person would no longer exist in his future life.
Breaking off the engagement became a difficult yet not-so-difficult decision.
But now, she is back.
The woman stood there with a cold face, forcefully breaking free from his hand. She pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "If I remember correctly, it was Master Gu himself who came to cancel the engagement. Why are you acting like this now?"
Besides, not to mention this life, he also wrote a divorce letter in his previous life.
Therefore, no matter in past or present life, the two are already strangers.
Feng Wenyu held her wrist, not forgetting the purpose of her visit to Gu Yu. She lowered her eyes and repeated her question:
“Where is Shen Jingchen?”
She stood before him with aloofness, questioning him for another man.
The blood in his body froze at this moment. Gu Yushi's disgust towards Shen Jingchen almost reached its peak at this moment. His voice was hoarse:
"He saved you."
He answered the question irrelevantly.
Feng Wenyu was really annoyed by his behavior. She frowned and said irritably, "So what?"
Gu Yushi's heart was filled with an uncontrollable surge of sourness and pain, and the taste of blood was spreading in his throat. He asked her:
"Why didn't you tell me?"
A hint of sarcasm and self-mockery flashed across Feng Wenyu's lips, but quickly disappeared.
Did she never think of mentioning Shen Jingchen? It was Gu Yushi who didn't give her the chance.
Later on, her relationship with Gu Yushi was no different from that of strangers living under the same roof. Was there any need to mention it?
She suddenly felt very bored and said:
"It's all over."
Therefore, whether she had ever thought of mentioning Shen Jingchen, just like why Gu Yushi treated her like that later, it was not important.
She no longer obsessed with the answer.
It's over between them.
