Chapter 48 The Evil Spirit
Despite my denial, Jiang Yichen's sarcastic voice still rang out.
"You have self-awareness if you don't participate. If you jump like this, it will just be a waste of time."
When I heard him deny me like that, I couldn't help but retort.
"Why do you say that? I have a good figure and good looks, so how am I any worse than others?"
Although I, Gu Mo, was defeated, the advantages I have are unmatched by others.
Otherwise, why would he let me be his lover?
Thinking of the humiliation I suffered in the company, I couldn't hold back my temper any more. Without giving Jiang Yichen a chance to speak, I continued, "It was a blessing for you to marry me before."
Hearing what I said, Jiang Yichen's eyes gradually darkened, and he walked in from the door and moved closer to me.
Seeing him act like this, I actually felt a little nervous.
But the words have been spoken, and there is naturally no room for redemption.
Jiang Yichen snorted coldly from his chest, and his warm breath sprayed evenly on my cheeks.
Too close!
I pressed my head against his chest and looked up at him.
There seemed to be a hint of emotion in his eyes that was hard to detect.
What is that?
Is it love?
I quickly shook my head and wanted to slap myself.
He hasn't even had time to take revenge on me, how could he still like me?
Just then, my brother's voice suddenly rang out.
"Jiang Yichen, what are you doing?"
He rushed in impatiently, and I thought Jiang Yichen was going to bully me again, so I pushed him away without thinking.
But before he could touch anyone, he was thrown aside.
"Gu Bai, you still think you are the young master of the Gu family. Don't you know where you are? This is not a place you can take action in."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yichen turned around with disdain and left.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
My brother looked at me nervously, and asked with some awkward concern, "Are you okay?"
My thoughts were pulled back, and I shook my head and looked at him, "Why are you here?"
My brother then realized, "Mom and Dad saw that you hadn't come back for so long, and they were worried that something had happened to you."
He paused, and then said, "Song Le is also at home."
…
When I got home, I saw Song Le sitting on the sofa.
When he saw me, he quickly stood up, his tone full of concern.
"Gu Mo, why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"
I shook my head in denial, "What do you want from me?"
After hearing my question, Song Le took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to me, saying directly, "I have seen everything that happened in the Gu family. You can use this money first. If it is not enough, contact me again. Don't shoulder the responsibility by yourself if something happens."
Hearing that, I refused without even thinking.
"Thank you, Song Le. I don't need this money. I can make money by myself. You have helped me enough. I can't accept this money."
Seeing that I refused so decisively, Song Le showed a little loneliness in his eyes, but still insisted, "I know the current situation of the Gu family. Don't force yourself. Gu Mo, I told you before that you don't have to worry."
My parents couldn't help but persuade me, "Momo, given the situation at home, why don't you use the money for emergencies first and return it to Song Le later."
"Yes, Momo, it's all your parents' fault. They've caused you so much trouble. Keep the money first and we'll pay it back together slowly."
But I don't want to cause trouble for Song Le.
I know Jiang Yichen's character very well. He is no longer the man who used to be timid in front of me.
Now in Tongcheng, he can make a family disappear at any time as long as he wants.
"I've signed up for a competition and I'm going to win the prize money."
Seeing how determined I was, Song Le could only take the card back and added in a gentle voice, "Gu Mo, no matter when, as long as you need me, I'm always here."
I nodded in agreement and asked my brother to send the person away.
After they left, my mother tried to test me, "Momo, tell me the truth, does Song Le still have you in his heart?"
I didn't know how to answer this question, so I could only stammer, "We are just friends. Apart from that, there won't be any more emotions."
I was the one who let him down back then.
I admit that I regret it, but is there any medicine for regret in this world?
My mother got the answer, and she sighed helplessly, expressing her true thoughts, "I really hope that you two can get back together."
Hearing this, I just smiled in agreement and didn't say much.
I knew very well that from the moment I took the initiative to cancel the engagement, there would no longer be any possibility for Song Le and I.
The next day.
As soon as I arrived at the company, Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan followed closely behind me.
For some reason, Lin Nan actually prepared a gift for all employees today, including me.
When I saw the exquisitely wrapped gift box, I couldn’t help but feel a little inferior.
Look, this is the mature woman that Jiang Yichen needs.
Instead of a troublemaker like me who gets into trouble all the time.
After receiving the gifts, some employees praised them openly.
"Secretary Lin is so nice. This must have taken a lot of thought. It really was a waste of money."
"Thank you Secretary Lin for still thinking about us, the young employees. The gift is really beautiful."
Lin Nan smiled gently and responded, "It's not expensive. Everyone has worked hard these days. These small gifts are a reward for everyone."
Although I don't want to admit it, I still feel that only a career-oriented woman like Lin Nan can stand by Jiang Yichen's side.
Lin Nan not only does things efficiently and effectively, but also knows how to win people's hearts.
Looking at the exquisite gift box in my hand, I was a little absent-minded.
"Gu Mo, I didn't expect you to be so capable that you could actually keep Song Le in your hands."
Lin Nan deliberately walked to my side and mocked me in a low voice.
I raised my head suddenly, with a hint of disgust in my eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
In Lin Nan's eyes, my reaction seemed to be deliberate.
She was more sarcastic and spoke more directly.
"Gu Mo, what are you acting now? Song Le has tried to help you over and over again, don't you know his intentions?"
So what? What was she trying to say?
I didn't want to have a useless argument with her, so I just replied calmly, "What does it have to do with you? It's none of your business."
Lin Nan gritted her teeth in anger, but soon, with a hint of pride in her eyes, she said without disguising, "You are a complete troublemaker. Song Le is also funny. He actually tried to help you. It's a pity that the project he cares about most has just been taken away by Jiang's."
My heart skipped a beat, and I almost subconsciously looked at Jiang Yichen, trying to get a hint of an answer from his eyes.
Jiang Yichen's face was very cold, and he obviously had no intention of mentioning this matter.
I see.
Everything Lin Nan said was true.
I actually hurt Song Le again, and I couldn't stop feeling guilty.
Lin Nan accurately captured my emotions, and my feeling of loss made her very satisfied.
