77. You really... don’t want me anymore?
Fu Rongshen's hand holding the phone stopped in mid-air, and he looked at her back with a dark and unspeakable look: "You mean, I'm acting to deceive you? Am I acting now?"
"Isn't it?"
Chu Yan turned around and prolonged his questioning voice.
Then he shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "But it doesn't matter."
He said word by word, "Just because Gu He pulled up his clothes and jumped into the river, pretending to be a hero ready to die, you believed his words. What about me?"
"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
"All these years, everything I have done cannot compare to what he said?"
He took a deep breath, almost crushing the phone, and suppressed his grievance and anger: "You can't be so unfair to me!"
Chu Yan looked back at him, almost furious but trying hard to hold it back. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was furious because his true face was exposed, or because she really had misunderstood him.
After a long while, he said, "Uncle, my flight is tomorrow morning, I need to rest."
He felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton and almost laughed out of anger.
"Heh...Heh! Chu Yan is back!"
He hung up the phone, walked up to her in two or three steps, grabbed her wrist, and his eyes were slightly red:
"You don't want to listen to my explanation, and you don't care about the truth of the matter... Have you already decided to get rid of me as soon as you return to Haicheng?"
"Let me go!" She tried to pry his hand open, but it felt like an iron wall and she couldn't pry it open at all. Her wrist hurt badly.
He refused to let go: "I have done everything I promised you, why don't you believe me!"
"You've done everything?" She suddenly stopped struggling, her pale lips moving as she spat out cold words, "A year ago, you promised to let me go back to Haicheng and never bother me again. Okay, keep your promise!"
Fu Rongshen was stabbed by this knife-like indifference and bled profusely, almost suffocating.
He murmured, "No! I don't agree. You can't do this to me..."
"Look, you can't keep your promise."
"Everything you told me was a lie, yet you still asked me to believe you... Uncle, I'm tired and need to rest."
She pulled her hand away with all her strength, pressing on her wrist, which had been pierced by crimson fingerprints. Her almond-shaped eyes were emotionless, and her brows were cold.
"Since I am such a person in your heart," Fu Rongshen raised his head, staring at her with red eyes, his voice hoarse with pain, gnashing his teeth, "How can I be worthy of you if I don't follow through?"
Her heart skipped a beat.
The next moment he pressed her against the gauze curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window and kissed her hard.
“No! Ugh…”
She struggled, pushing his chest with her hands. The gauze curtain was slippery, her back had no support, and her legs, softened by the kiss, slowly slid to the carpet.
He knelt on the ground, leaning over and biting her collarbone and wrist devoutly and frantically, leaving one scar after another like a dog.
She frowned and hissed when she was bitten: "It hurts, little uncle, don't do this, it hurts..."
"Pain? It hurts me more!"
There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't tell whether it was his or hers. His lips trembled slightly: "I don't understand why you are always attracted to him, feel sorry for him, and suspect and accuse me because of him?"
"I love you, more than he does!"
"When he has everything, he only cares about himself. When he has nothing, he uses all his tricks to destroy other people's happiness!"
"I tried my best to protect our relationship, but because of a few words he said today and pretended to commit suicide, you broke up with me..." He buried his face in her neck, his breath filled with pain and unwillingness, "Gu He is the most powerful manipulator of people's hearts in the world."
Chu Yanhui couldn't stand his confusion of right and wrong, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and said tiredly:
"My leaving you had nothing to do with him, but was due to your cruelty and deception."
"Uncle, I acknowledge your love and admit that I have invested a lot in this relationship. But this is two different things."
"I know Gu He is a bad person, but he is right. You are cruel and ruthless. Now you can kill him without telling me because you are jealous of him. If you can't stand me one day, you can also find ways to force me to death..."
"As a couple, we are not suitable."
"It's better for everyone if we separate now."
Every word she spoke was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
Again and again.
It hurt so much that I broke out in cold sweat.
He knelt between her legs, two strands of hair grazing his forehead. Like a forsaken believer looking at a deity, his bloodless face was shattered, and tears glistened in his reddened eyes.
A hand with distinct bones brushed away the messy hair on her cheek and asked in a hoarse and trembling voice:
"You really... don't want me anymore?"
"Yan Hui, you don't want me anymore?"
Chu Yanhui closed his eyes, endured the sourness in his nose and the pain spreading in his heart, and uttered three heartless and cruel words: "No more."
He looked at her, his heart aching and twitching. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said hoarsely:
"Okay, then keep your promise."
"...We separate and never meet again."
He staggered to his feet and turned to leave.
“Crack.”
The sound of the door closing meant that the man had left.
The girl lying on the carpet opened her eyes, her pupils clear as water. A tear silently flowed from the corner of her eye.
The next day.
Chu Yanhui pulled his suitcase and prepared to return to Haicheng.
The man did not appear throughout the whole process, as if he had disappeared.
The driver dropped her off and left, and she went to the airport alone.
Just as she was about to go through security, she saw a familiar-looking person running towards her and waving at her.
Cheng Quan stopped in front of her, panting: "Miss Chu, wait!"
"Secretary Cheng? Fu Rongshen wants to see me about something?"
She saw the other person looking hurried and anxious, holding a file bag in his hand, and didn't know what he was going to do.
"No, no, I have already found out what Director Fu arranged yesterday. Regarding Gu He, Director Fu really did not lie to you—"
She interrupted him: "If Secretary Cheng is here to lobby for your boss, with all due respect, I don't want to hear anything about it."
"Miss Chu, I'm not trying to stop you, nor am I trying to persuade you to go back on behalf of Mr. Fu."
"It's just... I overheard a few more words on the phone yesterday, and I think you really misunderstood Mr. Fu! The people who attempted to kill Gu He several times have been found, and the information is here. You can go find the relevant people to verify..."
Chu Yanhui took the file bag and lowered his eyes: "Okay."
"Mr. Fu has arranged other work, so I took the opportunity to deliver the documents. Miss Chu, I can't communicate with you for a long time. See you later."
Chengquan looked at his watch, apologized, and left in a hurry.
She came back to her senses in a daze.
Open the file bag and read the documents one by one.
The data retrieved information about Gu He's several injuries and admissions to different hospitals, along with receipts bearing the hospital's seal.
