"Do you have anything to say about that?"
Facing the media's bombardment, Gu Xiuwen's face gradually turned pale. He looked at Gu Xiuyuan outside the crowd, so... was it his arrangement?
Gu Xiuyuan raised his glass to him from a distance, then looked at the time.
Gu Xiuwen finally understood this time, so this is what he meant by "time is running out".
But why did he do this?!
Before he could figure out what was going on, a few more people rushed in from the hall door.
"Gu Xiuwen, you are such a heartless person."
"Give me back my daughter's life."
Amidst the cries and curses of several people, snap, snap, snap—
Eggs, vegetable leaves, and colored paints fell down one after another, landing on Gu Xiuwen's head and face, and his white suit suddenly became colorful.
The crowd burst into laughter, and the media took pictures of the scene.
The egg hit his face, and he remembered the days when he was bullied because of his illegitimate child. An unprecedented sense of humiliation surged in his heart. Gu Xiuwen wanted to get angry but was held down by the police. The ground was slippery, and he fell awkwardly into the colorful mud.
There were constant sounds of humiliation and mockery from the crowd. Those who usually had close contact with him laughed even more happily and took out their mobile phones to record it.
He was a handsome gentleman just a moment ago, but now he became a clown ridiculed by everyone. This gap was unbearable for Gu Xiuwen.
"Let me go!" he roared without caring about his appearance.
"Mr. Gu, are you refusing to cooperate with the police investigation?" The leading policeman pulled the man up without any hesitation.
Gu Xiuwen was picked up in a mess, and he glared at Gu Xiuyuan with hatred.
How could an unrelated person come into the Gu family's party?!
So, this is also his arrangement!!
Gu Xiuwen was taken away by the police, and the media followed him.
After all, he was a successful entrepreneur who was admired by everyone just a second ago, but was arrested by the police the next second. The change before and after was really shocking.
Gu Xiuwen was taken away, and the guests were talking about it, wondering what was going on.
"You can go now."
Gu Xiuyuan took off his coat and put it on Ji Shuyu.
Ji Shuyu then realized that this was a plot against Gu Xiuwen.
Ever since he said he wanted to return to Yuncheng, it was for this day.
His connivance towards those who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and the media's irrelevant exaggerations, were all preparations for today...
…
After leaving the banquet hall, Gu Xiuyuan did not return to the hotel, but the driver drove the car to Xizi Bay.
Hearing these three words, Ji Shuyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In the past few years, every time she came back, she avoided this place intentionally or unintentionally.
"Come up and take a look, okay?" Gu Xiuyuan looked at her and asked softly.
Ji Shuyu vaguely felt that he had something to say, or maybe this was the reason why he had been in a bad mood recently and it was related to Gu Xiuwen?
Gu Xiuyuan grabbed Ji Shuyu's hand. She struggled a little, but his grip became tighter.
He led her forward, his breathing becoming heavier with every step, and they stood at the door of the viewing room.
Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, then took Ji Shuyu's hand and unlocked the door.
Hearing the sound of the door lock opening, Ji Shuyu's nose suddenly felt sore without warning.
The door opened, but standing at the door, both of them were a little afraid to step in.
Because there are too many beautiful and sad memories here...
Gu Xiuyuan held her hand a little tighter, then walked into the room and turned on the light.
The house had been cleaned, but the long period of vacancy had left it lifeless, and even the orange-yellow light couldn't bring warmth.
"Why are you here?" Ji Shuyu was a little reluctant.
Standing at the door at this moment, she thought of that separation.
Gu Xiuyuan's heart trembled even more violently. He hated all these missed opportunities and even more so wanted to tear Gu Xiuwen into pieces.
"I just want to come back and take a look." Gu Xiuyuan's eyes were wet, but he smiled.
The misunderstanding started here, and he wanted to give her an explanation here.
Ji Shuyu looked at him and vaguely understood his intention.
"In the beginning, it was Gu Xiuwen who tampered with my medical examination results." Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath.
When Qin Chuan said that he could pay more attention to him, he didn't take it to heart. He never thought that he would fall into Gu Xiuwen's hands.
"What?!"
Ji Shuyu was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Not to mention the past, even in the past few years since Gu Xiuwen took over the Gu family, he seemed to be at peace with the world.
"You're surprised too, aren't you?"
When he first discovered that he was not sick, he suspected Gu Xiuwen. But at the same time, he felt that Gu Xiuwen should not have such ability, so he began to investigate.
"Remember what happened when Huo Yuxuan disappeared back then?"
Ji Shuyu recalled that his illness was caused by Huo Yuxuan.
"You mean, Huo Yuxuan's whereabouts are also related to him."
"I didn't find any direct evidence, but I investigated after I became suspicious of him. Huo Yuxuan told the police she had never seen that man, but only thought his voice sounded familiar. We played Gu Xiuwen's voice to her, and she reacted strongly."
Ji Shuyu was shocked when she heard this, but she quickly caught another piece of information and investigated Huo Yuxuan after she became suspicious.
"But……"
Isn’t Huo Yuxuan dead?
It is said that he died of illness.
Gu Xiuyuan understood what she meant, but did not give a direct answer.
He didn't deny his dark side, but he didn't want her to know it.
That Huo Yuxuan stole Xiaoyu's life and caused her so much harm. That disease... She really wanted to drag him and Xiaoyu down with her. She's done so many evil things, death is too easy for her! !
Ji Shuyu did not doubt Gu Xiuyuan's words, but she found the conclusion a little hard to believe.
Gu Xiuwen, I really can’t tell.
For the past three years, he had controlled the Gu Corporation, running back and forth to the Huo family for Gu Corporation's sake. Every time they met and talked about Gu Xiuyuan, he was filled with regret and advised her to be more open-minded...
After all these years, I really can't tell that he actually planned this from behind.
"For the Gu family?"
Gu Xiuyuan nodded.
He knew that Gu Xiuwen was not only concerned about the Gu family, but also Xiaoyu. So he couldn't stay with her because his identity was not worthy of the Huo family.
Ji Shuyu clenched her hands a little tighter, and she suddenly felt a little cold.
With someone like this around, she probably wouldn't even know who stabbed her in the back.
Since she was a child, she always felt that his life was hard and difficult. It seemed that... he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Gu Xiuyuan could see the shock and disbelief in Ji Shuyu's eyes.
Growing up, although she was not close to Gu Xiuwen and always kept a suitable distance from him, her concern for him was genuine.
She had been calling him "brother" sincerely for many years.
But what about Gu Xiuwen? He has been plotting against them all along!
But since he dared to do it, he should bear the consequences...
