There is no doubt that this message was sent by Su Yan.
Ji Shuyu didn't take the news to heart, nor did she want to pay attention to it. She thought she would keep pestering him, but after hearing the news, she became quiet.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xiuyuan asked.
"Oh, nothing." She shook her head. "Why are you here?"
"Come over here to do something." He said, holding her hand, then frowned and said, "It's so cold, you are not allowed to eat ice in the future."
Her heart warmed slightly, and she nodded gently.
Gu Xiuyuan shook her hand and took out a bag from the back seat.
"This is the ointment a friend brought me. Try it."
Ji Shuyu's hands were beautiful, but not as delicate and smooth as those of other girls her age. Because she had learned embroidery from a traditional Chinese embroidery master when she was young, her fingers had a thin layer of calluses and a few small scars from cuts.
And the wound on my palm...
"Xiuyuan, what's wrong with you?"
He didn't respond, but just placed his lips on the scabbed wound on her palm, then stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Xiaoyu, we'll all be together from now on, okay?"
The soft voice beside his ear knocked on his heart. Ji Shuyu rubbed his shoulder lightly and nodded.
"Um."
What if this is really her happiness!
…
The banquet was approaching and there was no time to customize a dress, so Ji Shuyu was taken to the mall by Xia Mei to buy one.
Gu Xiuyuan had told his family about the public matter, so Xia Mei paid close attention to the choice of dress and jewelry, and it seemed that she cared more about them than she did about herself.
In fact, it’s not about the dress, but if this news is made public, then... Gu Xiuyuan and Su Yan will "never be able to be together again."
The obsession that had weighed on her heart for so long finally came true.
As soon as Xia Mei entered, the manager ordered people to close the store, and the clerk pushed over the dress that had been prepared long ago.
The shop assistants were all trembling with fear at the sight of the Empress Dowager's tour, and they seemed to dare not even breathe.
Xia Mei comes from a privileged family, and is both beautiful and talented.
She could have lived a wonderful life, but Ji Shuyu was a little confused. Why did such an excellent person like her devote herself to Gu Bin?
Ji Shuyu was tormented through more than twenty outfits, being tossed around like a doll, but Xia Mei was never satisfied. Just as she was about to die from the torment, Gu Xiuyuan called.
Ji Shuyu seized the opportunity and quickly asked for help.
When she woke up after hanging up the phone, she saw Gu Bin who had just tried on a set of clothes and left, and... Su Yan.
Su Yan's clothes seemed too loose and ill-fitting, and standing in front of the tall Gu Bin, her figure looked even thinner.
I don't know what she said, but Gu Bin patted her arm.
What does it mean to be pitiful? Ji Shuyu has truly experienced it. No wonder Xia Mei lost control in the hospital. If Xia Mei saw this scene, she would kill someone!
Gu Bin's phone rang, and he said something. Su Yan nodded weakly, looked over the next second, and then slowly walked closer.
Perhaps because of her foot injury, she walked with a limp.
After what happened in the hospital, Su Yan "came to her door" again, and she didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Dada
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Ji Shuyu's breathing suddenly tightened.
Xia Mei came out and met Su Yan head-on. In response to her smart eyes, Su Yan's slight trembling also responded.
"Aunt." Su Yan burst into tears in a second.
Xia Mei crossed her arms, her eyes filled with contempt. "Su Yan, you really are not afraid of death."
"Auntie, please let me go, please." She cried weakly. "I don't want to leave here, I can't leave here."
What?
Ji Shuyu's heart was shaken.
Xiuyuan, do you really want to send her away?
Perhaps she was shocked that Gu Xiuyuan would tell her so quickly. She thought... he was just trying to comfort her.
"Auntie, please help Xiuyuan and me get together, okay?" She suddenly knelt down and inched closer to Xia Mei's feet. "I can change anything you don't like..."
"I don't like you appearing in front of me." Xia Mei glared at her coldly. "Miss Su, don't you know that our Xiuyuan is already married?"
"He will make the news public at the banquet a week from now."
Su Yan's eyes suddenly widened, looking frightened and unbelievable!
"Be smart and don't come around in front of me. I don't want to bother with you. If you continue to be so presumptuous..."
"mom--"
Gu Xiuyuan's voice suddenly rang out, and then he rushed in front of them.
Su Yan could barely hold up her trembling body, looking frightened and as if she had suffered a huge blow.
She looked at Gu Xiuyuan with tears in her eyes, looking devastated.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at his mother and Ji Shuyu, then helped Su Yan up.
"Gu Xiuyuan, do you think I'm nothing?" Xia Mei threatened calmly. "Your wife is standing right in front of you, and you're flirting with another woman."
After listening to his mother's words, Gu Xiuyuan let go.
Su Yan's body swayed, and the blow was even greater. She fell down, covering her ears and groaning in pain.
"Yanyan!!" Gu Xiuyuan panicked and called her name anxiously.
Su Yan's face was grim. She pushed him away and groaned while holding her head.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xiuyuan was a little scared.
"Headache, Xiuyuan, I have a headache..."
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital." He said, glanced at Ji Shuyu, and then picked up Su Yan.
Ji Shuyu didn't know how to interpret that look.
Is he informing her, or something else?
He said he would send her away, but he wouldn't sit idly by before doing so, right?
"Gu Xiuyuan!" Xia Mei saw Gu Xiuyuan pick someone up, and her calm expression slowly cracked. Then she threatened coldly: "If you dare to leave, you will bear the consequences."
Gu Xiuyuan glanced at his mother, then turned around and left with Su Yan in his arms.
"Gu Xiuyuan!"
Xia Mei shouted angrily, but Gu Xiuyuan did not stop.
Su Yan leaned in Gu Xiuyuan's arms, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she didn't look like she was shocked by the "disclosure".
Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, her eyes were full of smiles...
…
Coming out of the mall, Ji Shuyu followed Xia Mei. She looked repressed and suffocated as she suppressed her anger.
"Mom, let's go!" Ji Shuyu persuaded softly.
Xia Mei looked at her coldly. "Watching your husband walk away with another woman in his arms while you're here doing 'logistics'?" She laughed sarcastically, "Ji Shuyu, you're really generous."
“…”
"I have a dinner appointment with a friend, you can come with me." Xia Mei said as she got into the car.
Can she refuse?
Being with her, she really felt like she couldn't breathe. But at this moment, she knew she couldn't refuse.
Xia Mei brought Ji Shuyu to the hotel. When they entered the private room, the people inside had already arrived.
Ji Shuyu was not clear about the personal relationships of the Gu family, but seeing how familiar they were with Xia Mei, they must be very familiar with each other.
"This must be the old lady's baby!" the man with glasses asked with a smile.
"This is the apple of our old lady's eye. His status is even higher than our Xiuyuan's." Xia Mei smiled. "Xiao Yu, this is our family's partner, Mr. Zhao."
"Mr. Zhao, hello."
She nodded slightly, but the other party extended his hand.
Looking at his frizzy hair and the wrinkles on his face that didn't look kind, Ji Shuyu endured the discomfort and reached out her hand.
The man held it and smiled.
During the meal, the three of them talked about work.
Ji Shuyu didn't say anything, trying to reduce her presence.
She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that someone was staring at her...
