Su Yan stood at the window, originally admiring the scenery outside, thinking that the view must be better when lying down.
At this time, Gu Xiuyuan was seen hurriedly leaving the house.
Where is he going at this time?
Looking for Ji Shuyu? !
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly.
Didn't he not care? Then why was he in such a hurry?
Because...his grandmother?
Realizing this, she hated it even more.
Why?!
Ji Shuyu was just a wild child from an orphanage, yet she was the only one favored by the old lady?! She had lived in the Gu family for four years, even before Ji Shuyu, but the old woman didn't even look at her.
And Xia Mei, what right did she have to torture her? !
She pounded her fist on the glass.
I won't let this go!
I will take back everything that belongs to me!
Ji Shuyu, I will never let you go!
…
Ji Shuyu met Xia Mei on the street and was taken directly to Gu's house.
When she got out of the car, her palms were sweaty.
"Xiao Yu~"
Hearing this loving voice, Ji Shuyu turned around and looked at the old man who was staggering towards her, and her eyes instantly became red.
"Grandma~" She ran over and threw herself into the old woman's arms.
"Ouch~ What happened?" The old man was hugged tightly by her and immediately felt distressed. "Did that brat Xiuyuan bully you?"
Ji Shuyu fought back tears and shook her head. "I just miss you, grandma. I miss you so much."
She clenched her arms, and her nose became more sore the more she spoke.
Ji Shuyu was adopted at the age of eight and was raised by Old Mrs. Gu. How could the old lady not see whether she was wronged or not?
"Don't be sad, I'll help you deal with him later." The old lady said, holding her face. "Look at you, you've lost weight."
She could have controlled her emotions, but she almost collapsed because of the word "thinner". She bit her lips hard, and only then did she hold back her tears.
In this world, no one cares about her except her grandmother.
…
The old lady happily pulled Ji Shuyu into the house, saying that it was boring to eat alone and asked her to eat with her.
It was dinner time, and the smell hit her nose. Before Bai Shulan could call her aunt to add more dishes and chopsticks, Ji Shuyu rushed into the bathroom, covering her mouth.
Ugh~
She retched for a long time but nothing came out, and the old lady was so anxious that she kept knocking on the door.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't worry, old lady~"
Hearing Auntie's voice comforting grandma, Ji Chuyu was also anxious, but the smell was too shocking and she really couldn't suppress the feeling of nausea.
"Grandma, I'm fine~" she managed to respond.
After retching, her little face became even more pale.
Coming out of the bathroom, the old lady grabbed her hand.
When the burnt area was touched, Ji Shuyu shuddered in pain, but she didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she endured it.
"Xiao Yu, are you sick?" Bai Shulan's face was full of anxiety, and she wanted her aunt to call the family doctor.
"Old lady~" Auntie suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Is the young lady..."
Bai Shulan reacted for a moment, then immediately pulled her closer in surprise. "My dear granddaughter, how long have you had this symptom?"
Xia Mei was walking up the stairs and looked at her because of what the old lady said.
That look made Ji Shuyu's breath catch.
"Grandma, I just feel uncomfortable in my stomach." Ji Shuyu hurriedly "explained".
She felt guilty for lying to her grandmother who cared about her so much, but not only was the matter uncertain at the moment, even if it was true, given her and Gu Xiuyuan's current situation... she didn't know whether she should tell him or not.
"Ah?" The old man was obviously disappointed. "Is that so~"
The old man had no doubts, but Xia Mei didn't believe it.
Her inquiring gaze made Ji Shuyu feel a chill on his back. He always felt that his thoughts could be seen through at a glance.
Ji Shuyu quietly grabbed the hem of her clothes, and just when she was having difficulty breathing, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master." Ji Shuyu's heart suddenly trembled when she heard the voice coming from the door, and then she saw Gu Xiuyuan with a frosty face walking in.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on her.
Ji Shuyu lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at his questioning gaze again.
"You little brat, it's so late, how could you let Xiaoyu come back alone." The old lady quickly stepped forward and patted her grandson's arm, blaming him for not taking care of her baby.
Gu Xiuyuan comforted his grandmother and let her be slapped, but his eyes were looking at Ji Shuyu, whose eyes were slightly red.
He laughed at himself for being stupid.
How could she have nowhere to go?
After leaving home, the next step is of course to come here to complain.
Ji Shuyu understood what he meant at a glance.
He lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart.
…
Xia Mei folded her arms and looked at Ji Shuyu, and finally her eyes fell on her son.
Gu Xiuyuan did not avoid his relatives' gaze. Ever since he met Su Yan, he knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, and he had been thinking about talking to her for a long time.
"Didn't you two both say you had something to discuss with me?" She came down the stairs. "Now, while everyone's here, go ahead and tell me!"
As soon as Xia Mei finished speaking, Gu Xiuyuan suddenly turned around, and his sharp eyes were directly cast on Ji Shuyu.
Before Ji Shuyu could say anything, he had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her upstairs.
Bang——
The door closed and she was pushed against the wall.
"What do you want to say to my mother?"
Gu Xiuyuan glared at her angrily and started questioning her.
His eyes seemed to have penetrating power, piercing Ji Shuyu's heart directly.
What did he think she wanted to say?
I thought she wanted to tell on me...
Ji Shuyu smiled, then looked up into his eyes and said, "Tell her that Su Yan is in Yu Garden."
"Ji Shuyu!!" Gu Xiuyuan was angry and punched the wall behind her.
Listening to that voice, she closed her eyes reluctantly, her heart trembling violently, because he would be in pain, and her heart ached...
Anger surged in Gu Xiuyuan's chest.
Why did she always challenge his bottom line? Why did she always take practical action to tell him that he was wrong when he felt he couldn't bear it?
Ji Shuyu leaned tiredly against the wall, looking at the anger bursting out of his eyes, her heart twisted into a knot.
Everything really returned to the worst point.
She had liked someone older than her since she was a child, and he was always full of malice towards her. He would doubt everything she said, disdain everything she did, and think everything she did was wrong. As long as it was "bad", as long as it involved Su Yan, he would always be the first to convict her.
Looking at the hand he was holding tightly to hers, Ji Shuyu's heart ached and even her eyes began to ache.
His hands still looked as lovely as they did when he was a child, but... they no longer had the soft warmth that he had when he first reached out to her.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at the person in front of him.
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the emotion in her eyes, but a sadness seemed to emanate from her body, and she looked so sad and lonely...
Such intense sadness didn't seem to affect even his mood, and he couldn't help but slowly relax his grip on her hand.
Ji Shuyu took a deep breath, then looked up at him with that kind of nostalgia as if she was looking at him for the last time.
"Gu Xiuyuan, let's go and handle the formalities tomorrow!"
