☆, Chapter 87 The Ultimate Villain
[No way? Could it be Bai Yifan?]
Gu Ran instantly imagined a ten thousand-word melodramatic plot in his mind.
[Could it be that Mr. Bai got engaged to someone random because he was mad at me?]
[Business marriages don't really need any emotional basis, and sudden decisions like this are common.]
[But this is too sudden!]
At this moment, Gu Ran felt as if his heart was collapsing.
Seeing her expression fall, Gu Ximing knew she had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.
"It's not Bai Yifan, it's a relative of his, Bai Yutang, who is also my good brother."
Gu Ran relaxed as if he had lost all his strength.
I just hope it’s not Bai Yifan.
"Yutang and Yifan are closely related by blood. Yutang is the child of Yifan's cousin. According to seniority, he should call Yifan "uncle", but he is about the same age as Yifan, so he is of the same generation as us." Gu Ximing explained further.
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, then breathed a sigh of relief again.
She widened her eyes slightly, "Bai Yutang?"
"Yeah." Gu Ximing noticed her change, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ran was a little dazed, "It turned out to be him..."
Bai Yutang, what a familiar name.
This is Bai Yutang, the official partner of Nan Xianxian, one of the three female protagonists in the original novel.
They are also the couple that Gu Ran hates the most.
Because it is an urban novel with a group portrait, the three heroines in the original novel have equal roles, and their love and career lines are different.
Although the other two heroines also have many shortcomings that deserve criticism, at least they are working hard for their careers.
Only Nan Xianxian has a tragic and melodramatic love story.
Nan Xianxian and Bai Yutang are like the male and female protagonists in an old-fashioned tragic love story.
The two met at Bai Yutang's company. Due to the huge difference in their status, their relationship was naturally full of obstacles, and breakups and reunions were commonplace.
The two most serious breakups were caused by Bai Yutang's decision to get engaged to the daughter of the Liu family, who was a suitable match for her, and she chose to obey her parents.
Nan Xianxian was heartbroken, but she could only watch Bai Yutang hold an engagement party with someone else, and she had to attend as a guest.
Nan Xianxian naturally could not accept this kind of thing, so she made a decision in anger.
She put drugs in Gu Ximing's wine, got the room card of Gu Ximing's room, and then entered Gu Ximing's room when no one was paying attention.
The two of them didn't really do anything. After all, Gu Ximing was unconscious at the time, and Nan Xianxian was determined to remain a virgin for Bai Yutang.
Nan Xianxian did all this just to use Gu Ximing to anger Bai Yutang, make Bai Yutang jealous of her, and go crazy for her.
At night, the crowd caught the two of them.
Gu Ximing didn't know that he was being used. He thought that something really happened between him and Nan Xianxian. Out of responsibility, he agreed to marry Nan Xianxian.
Bai Yutang was so enraged that the two brothers became enemies because of a woman.
Afterwards, Gu Ximing and Nan Xianxian got engaged and prepared to get married.
At this time, Nan Xianxian discovered that she was pregnant.
The child was naturally Bai Yutang's, but she framed the child on Gu Ximing.
[Third brother is really miserable. He originally advocated for not getting married, but was framed by Nan Xianxian. He thought he had slept with Nan Xianxian, so he took responsibility out of moral obligation. In the end, Nan Xianxian framed him for a child that was not his.]
Bai Yutang is even more shameless. He's already engaged to the Liu family's daughter, yet he can't let go of Nan Xianxian and keeps trying to linger on.
If Third Brother hadn't been so busy, he would have discovered this couple's affair long ago. But because he was always busy with work, he allowed this couple to have an affair and get married.
[When they were getting married, Nan Xianxian and Bai Yutang were having an affair in the dressing room. These two are so shameless.]
[No, I don't care about anything else, I have to go to this engagement party. I absolutely cannot let Nan Xianxian succeed!]
Gu Ran rekindled his fighting spirit and looked at Gu Ximing with burning eyes.
"I'll go with you, Third Brother!"
“…” This time it was Gu Ximing’s turn to be stunned.
Originally, he wanted to create an opportunity for Gu Ran, so he strongly requested Gu Ran to go with him.
But Gu Ran's series of thoughts just now surprised him and also hit him so hard that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Gu Ximing and Bai Yutang have a very good relationship, even closer than his relationship with Bai Yifan. Bai Yutang has invited him to be the best man at her wedding, and Gu Ximing has agreed.
He never expected that so many things would happen at his good brother's engagement party, which would become a huge turning point in his life.
Gu Ximing knows himself well. Although he is a non-marriageist, he is also a very responsible person.
It is precisely because he is too responsible that he does not want to get married or have children. He is often afraid that he cannot give a little life a carefree life.
So what Gu Ran said is very likely to happen.
If he was really tricked into having sex and someone mistakenly thought he was drunk, then he would definitely take responsibility.
Even if the other person is the ex-girlfriend of your best friend.
But good bro is engaged, isn't he?
For an idealist like him, such things as lingering ties do not exist. How could he have imagined that Bai Yutang, who was already engaged, would be entangled with Nan Xianxian?
Then a series of events that followed, including Nan Xianxian framing the child on him, were all very logical.
He was busy with work and didn't marry someone he liked, so naturally he had less companionship and understanding.
Even if the two of them were flirting under his nose, he wouldn't realize it.
After all, Gu Ximing himself knew that he was a straight man who didn't understand feelings.
Gu Ximing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Because Gu Ran's thoughts were cut off when he had an affair.
But what then?
The child is not hers, and the one Nan Xianxian loves is not her. The truth will come out sooner or later.
What will happen to me when I suffer a double blow and deception?
Gu Ran always talks about the Gu family falling apart, going bankrupt and becoming a villain.
However, although the things that Gu Yan, Gu Lan, and Gu Xiyan did would cause the Gu family to go downhill and cause a certain impact, none of them had the tendency to become a villain, nor were they the direct cause of the Gu family's bankruptcy.
Could it be that the villain that Gu Ran always talks about is actually me?
Most of the Gu family's assets are controlled by Gu Ximing. If the family goes bankrupt one day, Gu Ximing thinks he will be the most direct cause.
He couldn't imagine how he could do such a stupid thing before, but now he seemed to have seen the tip of the iceberg.
Before Gu Ximing could figure this out, Gu Ran's voice rang out again.
[I must keep an eye on my third brother during this engagement party. I absolutely cannot let Nan Xianxian take advantage of me!]
[Although the affairs of the eldest sister, second sister, and fourth brother dealt a heavy blow to the Gu family, they were not the cause of the Gu family's bankruptcy. The biggest problem still lies with the third brother.]
