Chapter 37 Your Brother
Chu Xiang didn't want to talk to Gu Jue, but considering that there were still many classmates sitting there watching the commotion, she could only walk out and stand in the less crowded corridor. She casually asked, "Are you looking for me again because of Su Ruanruan?"
Gu Jue originally intended to confront her, but seeing that she had spoken up so frankly before him, his momentum weakened, but he quickly recovered.
Gu Jue asked, "Did you ask my older brother to ruin Su Ruanruan's job?"
Chu Xiang looked completely innocent. "What do you mean, ruin your job? I don't know anything about that."
Gu Jue sneered, "Stop pretending. I know you and my older brother went to the restaurant where Su Ruanruan works yesterday, and you even made things difficult for her. As soon as you left, she was fired from the restaurant. If you say you didn't pull something behind the scenes, who would believe you?"
Su Ruanruan thought she was lucky to get a job at the restaurant, but in reality, Gu Jue had secretly asked a friend to put in a good word with the person in charge at the restaurant so that Su Ruanruan could get the job.
But last night, Gu Jue suddenly received a call from a friend. He heard that Su Ruanruan had been harassed by his older brother and Chu Xiang, and that the restaurant manager refused to hire Su Ruanruan anymore.
Gu Jue knew his older brother well. His older brother was never the kind of person who would hold grudges. Even if he didn't like Su Ruanruan, he wouldn't deliberately target a girl. But Chu Xiang was different.
Gu Jue really couldn't understand what kind of spell Chu Xiang had cast on the Gu family, why everyone in the Gu family was on her side and helping her, including his mother and his eldest brother.
It's as if he's not the Gu family's biological son!
Chu Xiang found it ridiculous, "Why would I need to make things difficult for Su Ruanruan?"
Gu Jue: "What is it all for? Do I have to spell it out for you? Chu Xiang, aren't you just jealous of her?"
And all of this, isn't it all for him, her fiancé?
Chu Xiang smiled. "First, I'm prettier than Su Ruanruan. Second, my family background is better than hers. Third, the man I found is better than the man she found. I really can't understand what's so great about her that I'm jealous of her and would waste my time targeting her."
Gu Jue gave a sarcastic smile. He was about to say something, but after realizing her third point, he was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean by saying that the man you found is better than the man she found?"
"It means exactly what it says," Chu Xiang said with a smile. "I'm young and beautiful, so men will pursue me. And I happen to like him too, so we started dating. Isn't that normal?"
What's normal?
Gu Jue frowned. "Have you forgotten that you're still my fiancée?"
Chu Xiang didn't take it to heart. "Didn't you already say that we're just in a business relationship now, just a nominal one? Besides, you can find women outside, and I can find men outside. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
Gu Jue may not say he understands Chu Xiang, but he did grow up with her and has some understanding of her interpersonal relationships.
Chu Xiang likes playing video games, and during holidays she likes to stay at home playing on her phone, or she'll compare herself with her group of superficial girlfriends. There are no young men in her social circle who are close to her.
Even if there is such a thing, the other party knows that Chu Xiang is his fiancée, so he certainly wouldn't deliberately go up to her and cause trouble.
But then she thought, the university is full of young men and women driven by hormones, who knows if some clueless male classmate will come after her?
Men have a fundamental flaw: they don't like things that have their name on them, even if they don't like them. They won't want others to touch them.
Gu Jue lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness in his expression. "Who is that man?"
Chu Xiang: "Your brother."
Gu Jue sneered and looked at Chu Xiang with a "Are you sick?" look. "Even if you're going to lie to annoy me, at least make your lie believable. My brother liking men is more plausible than liking you."
In fact, over the years, some young people who have heard of Gu Heng's name have privately discussed whether Gu Heng likes men, otherwise why has Gu Heng never been involved in any scandals?
Sometimes, when Gu Jue heard his friends joking about Gu Heng, he would chime in with a few words, such as his mother wanting to wait until his older brother got married and had children, which he could probably only do in his dreams.
This assessment wasn't Gu Jue's prejudice, but rather because Gu Heng had never been a sociable person since childhood. When Gu Jue was a child, he would lead a group of mischievous younger brothers to play pranks during holidays, but no one had ever invited Gu Heng to go out and play on weekends.
No one wanted to play with Gu Heng. Gu Heng was also different from other children. He never ate junk food, and unlike other boys in elementary school, he never liked to deliberately provoke the girls he cared about. He would obediently follow and carry out what the teachers said at school. Apart from studying, he could spend the whole day sitting in the library.
Gu Jue felt that even the lives of Taoist priests might not be as boring as Gu Heng's.
So how could a man who takes care of every detail of his appearance before going out every day possibly lay a hand on his younger brother's fiancée?
Gu Jue had genuinely believed that Chu Xiang was dating another man, but now he was increasingly certain that Chu Xiang's words were false and that her purpose was simply to anger him.
Gu Jue was indeed handsome. He stood in front of Chu Xiang and smiled, "If you want to use this method to get my attention and prove that I care about you, let me tell you, this trick won't work on me."
He was, after all, the illustrious Second Young Master Gu, and many girls had tried to throw themselves at him. He had seen far too many women like this who used such cunning tricks. Chu Xiang's methods were simply no match for his; in fact, they seemed childish.
Chu Xiang looked at Gu Jue and sighed softly.
Gu Jue disliked Chu Xiang's gaze, as if he were a fool in front of her. He turned cold and said, "Chu Xiang, even without Su Ruanruan, I wouldn't like you. You can save your tricks. Once I prove to my parents that I can build my own career without relying on my family, they will definitely agree to let me break off our engagement. Then we'll have nothing to do with each other."
Chu Xiang gave a faint "Oh".
Gu Heng took out his phone and transferred three thousand yuan to Chu Xiang's account in front of her. "I borrowed three hundred yuan from you last time, and now I'm paying you back ten times that amount. Remember, I don't owe you anything anymore."
He finished speaking in a haughty and aloof manner, and without waiting for Chu Xiang's reply, he turned and left in a haughty and aloof manner.
