Gu Xiuyuan went out early and came back late for several days to avoid meeting Ji Shuyu. On the one hand, he didn't want to hear her talk about divorce again, and on the other hand, he was worried about her emotions.
But her mood didn't seem to be affected at all...
My aunt said that she eats well and rests regularly, and even if she is busy, she will still take a stroll in the garden after dinner.
It seemed like she had become more passionate about life since she filed for divorce; it seemed like he was the only one who couldn't sleep day and night because of the divorce...
Eternal Night
"You've been coming to my place quite frequently lately!" Qin Chuan teased his friend. "You look so grim, what's wrong?"
In fact, he knew it without being told that it was Ji Shuyu.
Lately, that little girl Muran has been so angry that her face is about to turn to the sky.
It is said that He Yanzhi sent Ji Shuyu to the hospital, and the two of them had a fight in the hospital.
There are many rumors in the circle, and there is also considerable friction between the Gu and He families in the business world.
The rumors circulating outside were all rumors of jealousy, mostly saying that Master Gu couldn't stand seeing his "sister" have a boyfriend...
Now, when people who know Ji Shuyu mention her, they no longer say "Mrs. Gu's daughter" or "Mr. Gu's sister", but He Yanzhi's girlfriend...
Wife becomes "sister"?
This is indeed depressing enough.
He was not one to meddle in the love between other couples, but seeing his friend like this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but say something.
"What are you thinking? Su Yan, are you going to keep controlling me like this forever?"
Gu Xiuyuan looked up.
"If the root cause of the problem isn't addressed, what's the point of worrying about other things?"
The root of the problem was Su Yan, and Gu Xiuyuan simply couldn't see his own heart clearly. But he seemed completely unaware of it, and even looked hurt and wronged.
"If you love Su Yan, divorce her and marry her. If you don't love her, don't care about her life or death..."
Isn't this a simple love?
"You know very well that I can't just ignore her."
Gu Xiuyuan looked at his friend. Forget about others, but didn’t he know everything?
"She saved you when you were a child, and you feel guilty because your mother hurt her. But can you take care of her for the rest of her life?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Or do you think that Xiaoyuer has the responsibility to share your 'responsibility' for her?"
"I didn't mean that." Gu Xiuyuan was annoyed. "Do you also think that I was lying when I gave Su Yanqian a gift?"
He had already taken care of it, so why was everyone questioning him?
Xiaoyu didn't even give him a chance to explain. She was only thinking about divorce and even started preparing a divorce agreement. It seemed like she really had no intention of turning back.
"Of course I believe you, but what I think is not important." Qin Chuan was rarely serious. "What is important is what Xiao Yu'er thinks, and more importantly... why did she suddenly find Su Yan?"
Gu Xiuyuan looked up as he listened, while Qin Chuan just raised his eyebrows.
Seeing him like this, Qin Chuan knew that he had never doubted that Su Yan had been discovered.
Why was it such a coincidence that when she called him for help, Ji Shuyu saw her, and why when he passed by, Su Yan fell down the stairs.
"Su Yan fell down the stairs. Have you ever thought about this?"
Gu Xiuyuan was puzzled, and Qin Chuan continued, "Do you think Xiao Yu'er would do such a thing?"
"I don't doubt her..."
"Don't you think she did it on purpose?" Qin Chuan asked, "I haven't even asked her about it." He looked like he knew it.
"But have you ever thought about how this happened?"
Gu Xiuyuan was stunned by the question, he really had no idea.
On the day of the release, He Yanzhi's story broke, and then Xiaoyu was hospitalized...
"Let's take a step back and say that even if it was Xiaoyu'er who did it, what did Su Yan say that made her do that? If she didn't do it, how did Su Yan fall off the bed?"
“…”
These things that he had never thought about were revealed in this way, and Gu Xiuyuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Xiuyuan, you never thought about this problem from the beginning."
"You were so sympathetic in the past because you were patient and yielding for Xiaoyuer. You didn't want to disrupt the superficial peace, so you just let it go. But now, do you think you can continue to ignore this problem?"
She wasn't giving in! She even told him directly that she did it on purpose. Even now, when he thought about her asking if hitting the back of the head would kill him, his heart still beat faster with anger.
"Xiao Yu'er has grown up under our care. Don't let him get to the point where he cannot be salvaged." Qin Chuan patted his shoulder.
"Or, you can take this opportunity to put yourself in her shoes. He Yanzhi also saved her, and Xiao Yuer was just expressing his gratitude out of courtesy."
After just a few moments of seriousness, his true colors showed up again, and Gu Xiuyuan was so angry that he kicked him.
"roll."
"Xiuyuan, Xiaoyuer at least maintains an appropriate distance and courtesy towards He Yanzhi. Have you ever thought about how Su Yan feels about your concern for her?"
After saying that, Qin Chuan left.
Gu Xiuyuan held the wine glass tightly, these words weighing on his heart like a stone. After a pause, he took out his cell phone and called Su Yan.
…
When Ji Shuyu arrived at the restaurant, Gu Xiuwen was already sitting there. He waved to her when she came in, then stood up and pulled out a chair for her.
"Brother Xiu Wen." Ji Shuyu smiled.
Gu Xiuwen looked at her and then said, "Seeing that you look good, I feel relieved."
"I called you a few days ago, wanting to ask about your situation, but your aunt told me you were in the hospital." He paused, "I originally wanted to visit you, but I was afraid Xiuyuan would be unhappy if he saw you, so..."
"It's okay, I've been here more often."
"Then we will." He nodded, then looked at her worriedly, "Xiao Yu, have you guys... been okay recently?" Gu Xiuwen looked worried.
"It's quite strange. What's wrong?"
"...I just heard some rumors." He shook his head. "No, you guys don't have any."
He smiled and changed the subject, "You still haven't told Xiuyuan about that incident?"
Ji Shuyu looked at Gu Xiuwen and smiled.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll treat you today! It's a thank you for helping me last time."
"Xiaoyu, do you have to be so polite to me?" Gu Xiuwen smiled stiffly. "I thought we were at least friends."
"Sorry, I'm used to it." Ji Shuyu smiled.
In the past, she was used to keeping a distance from the opposite sex other than Gu Xiuyuan, but now... she remembered what he had told her about the mobile phone wallpaper.
She called him "brother", but they were not real brother and sister after all.
"Order now! Don't be shy with me." She handed the menu to him.
After saying sorry, he had already distanced them a lot, and Gu Xiuwen lowered his head.
In fact, there was a distance between them from the very beginning. She called him "Brother Xiu Wen" just out of politeness, which was not even comparable to Qin Chuan's "Third Brother".
Looking at his expression, Ji Shuyu realized that her attitude might have hurt him, and she hesitated for a moment but still did not explain.
If this is the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem, there is nothing wrong with it.
The two of them were eating their meal, each with their own thoughts. Halfway through, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them...
