Chapter 162 Farewell, she was my goddess, goddess, do you understand?
Gu Mingxia grabbed Xiao Yan's ears, glaring at him with displeasure. Xiao Yan was stunned, and a pained expression immediately appeared on his face. He struggled to free his ears from Gu Mingxia's grasp, looking at her helplessly.
"Xiaxia, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? All these years, you've always been the only one in my heart!"
Xiao Yan's nervous words made Gu Mingxia lower her head and giggle. Her laughter made Xiao Yan frown. After a while, Gu Mingxia patted her chest and looked at the nervous Xiao Yan with a smile.
"I was just kidding! With your cold, aloof face, who else but me would love you?"
"Xiaxia, you really are..."
"Alright, let's drive home quickly!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's helpless expression, Gu Mingxia reached out and pinched his cheek. Then she sat up straight and waited for a while before Xiao Yan drove off. She turned her head and nudged him, who was still in a daze.
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and drive home! You just woke up, so get some rest. Misha said she wanted to give you a medical check-up this afternoon!"
"Um!"
Interrupted by Gu Mingxia, Xiao Yan had no choice but to suppress his thoughts. The car began to move forward quickly and smoothly, but there was a faint unease on Xiao Yan's face. When they returned to the villa, as soon as the car came to a stop, he turned to look at Gu Mingxia, who was unbuckling her seatbelt.
"During the time I was in a coma, did no one call me?"
Gu Mingxia tilted her head, thought for a while, and then shook her head. After meeting his uneasy expression, she had a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, so you really do have someone else on the side!"
"Don't overthink it, it's just some business. Okay, we're home, get out of the car!"
Xiao Yan smiled indulgently at Gu Mingxia and patted her head before getting out of the car first. Gu Mingxia felt that Xiao Yan was acting a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Looking down at the large diamond ring on her hand, she suddenly kissed it.
"Who cares what's strange about it, he can't possibly have a mistress on the side!"
Gu Mingxia comforted herself with this thought, then happily picked up her bag and got out of the car. As soon as she entered the living room, Liu Yan came to greet her. Before Gu Mingxia could even speak, Liu Yan took her left hand and looked at the ring on her ring finger with an expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"The blue Tear of the Ocean, weighing fifteen carats, Xiaxia, this ring of yours is worth tens of millions. Xiao Yan is really generous!"
Liu Yan reached out and gently stroked her ring, her eyes shining brightly. Gu Mingxia felt like she wanted to take the ring off and swallow it whole!
"The most important thing about engagement rings is the sentiment behind them, and the size of the diamond doesn't really matter much."
As Gu Mingxia spoke, she glanced at Zheng Liu, who was standing in the corner of the living room. She knew Zheng Liu's feelings for Liu Yan, and she also knew that Liu Yan still couldn't let go of Zhang Yunqi deep down. But when she thought about Zhang Yunqi marrying and having a daughter in South Africa, she felt sorry for Liu Yan.
"Tch, of course you're so happy with such an expensive diamond ring. Let me ask you this: if Xiao Yan had proposed to you yesterday with a silver ring that cost only a few dollars, would you have said yes?"
Gu Mingxia opened her eyes wide and thought for a while, then nodded seriously.
"As long as he's sincere, I'll agree!"
"Sigh, if I had known you would agree so easily, I wouldn't have wasted half my fortune buying you this diamond ring!"
Xiao Yan changed into a white casual outfit, holding a water cup as he walked and drank. When he reached Gu Mingxia's side, he put down the water cup, took her left hand, and looked at her seriously.
"You've already said I'm being very sincere, so how about this: give me this ring, I'll sell it, and then I'll get you a silver ring instead, how about that?"
As he spoke, he reached out to take the ring off Gu Mingxia's hand, but Gu Mingxia held it tightly, looking at Xiao Yan with great vigilance.
"Once it's on my hand, it's mine, and you can't take it away! I don't want to wear a silver ring; it doesn't suit my image at all!"
"See? That's women for you, always saying one thing and meaning another! Sigh, you only agreed to my proposal because of the ring! So materialistic, so gold-digging, it's heartbreaking!"
Xiao Yan walked towards the kitchen, shaking his head as he carried a water glass. Gu Mingxia and Liu Yan exchanged a smile. With a beautiful diamond ring, who would want to wear a small silver ring? This really has nothing to do with materialism!
"By the way, Liu Yan, you should go to the Zhang family as soon as possible! When it comes to matters of the heart, you should end them decisively. The longer you drag it out, the more it will hurt you!"
Liu Yan lowered her head, biting her lip. Yes, Zhang Yunqi's daughter was already quite grown up, and she couldn't continue to dwell on past feelings. Xia Xia was right; the longer she dragged it out, the more it would hurt her. It was time to let go!
She doesn't want to start a new relationship after the breakup; she just wants to live a good life and enjoy her own little life.
"Okay, I'll go this afternoon."
She has done right by Zhang Yunqi, but who can she turn to for justice for the time and feelings she has been betrayed over the years?
A bitter smile appeared on Liu Yan's lips. Zheng Liu stood in the corner watching her in pain, wanting to go forward to comfort her but not knowing how. In the end, he didn't go up, but just stood there looking at her with heartache.
"I'll go with you this afternoon!"
Gu Mingxia held Liu Yan's hand, offering her support in her own way. Liu Yan looked up and smiled gratefully.
Where are you going this afternoon?
"I'll accompany Liu Yan to Zhang Yunqi's house this afternoon. You rest at home, and we'll have Misha come over to give you a physical examination when we get back, okay?"
Upon hearing the name Zhang Yunqi, Xiao Yan immediately pictured his gentle and elegant smile. If Fu Heng was the perfect representative of the wealthy, then Zhang Yunqi was the epitome of perfection. Such an elegant and refined man, yet his body was covered in festering sores. It was hard to tell whether fate was simply too jealous of him, or if he was just genuinely unlucky.
Seeing the two of them misunderstanding Zhang Yunqi, Xiao Yan wanted to say something but then remembered Zhang Yunqi's instructions, so he could only remain silent.
Perhaps Zhang Yunqi's approach was right; only by making Liu Yan completely give up could she begin a new life.
"Alright, then be careful. Have Zheng Liu take a few men with him."
"good."
After lunch, Liu Yan carried a large tote bag and went to the Zhang family with Gu Mingxia. Zheng Liu, along with Song Jia and Miao Dan, drove along as well.
"Boss, you like Liu Yan, don't you!"
While holding her laptop and staring at the direction Gu Mingxia's car was driving, Song Jia casually asked a question without looking up.
"Don't talk nonsense! Keep a close eye on them!"
Thinking that Cai Feng was still in Xiangcheng, Zheng Liu dared not relax his vigilance at all. Song Jia chuckled and started typing on the keyboard.
"If you like someone, you like them. What's wrong with admitting it? It's not like it's anything shameful!"
"Don't ruin that girl's reputation, focus on what's ahead."
The car stopped in front of the Zhang family villa. Liu Yan clutched the bag in her handbag tightly, her face pale. Since Zhang Yunqi disappeared, she had not been to the Zhang family once. Now, thinking about going in, she couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.
"It's okay, I'll always be by your side!"
Gu Mingxia held Liu Yan's hand and gently comforted her. Liu Yan nodded, and the two of them got out of the car one after the other. Zheng Liu told Song Jia and Miao Dan to wait in the car, and then he got out as well.
"You're always following me around so closely, and you still say you don't like me!"
While fiddling with the computer, Song Jia said with a smile, and Miao Dan touched the thing in her hand, took it out and blew on the dark gun barrel.
"Brother Song, don't you also like Miss Gu? You talk about her all the time, don't you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, kid? Miss Gu is my goddess. Do you even know what a goddess is? You're such a clueless idiot, you wouldn't understand. Keep a close eye on her, don't let her fall for your tricks!"
In the Zhang family's luxurious and spacious hall, Liu Yan sat on the sofa. Zhang's parents looked at Liu Yan with no pleasant expressions on their faces.
"Let's have some coffee!"
With great reluctance, Zhang's mother said these words. Gu Mingxia picked up her coffee and took a small sip, while Liu Yan lowered her head. She knew that Zhang's mother didn't like her. She hadn't liked her much since she was with Zhang Yunqi. Later, when Zhang Yunqi disappeared, Zhang's mother blamed her for getting rid of him.
“Auntie, I’ve come today to return Zhang Yunqi’s old belongings to you.”
"No need. You haven't treated those things like treasures all these years! We've managed to get by even if no one else wants them, so we'll just ignore them!"
Zhang's mother gave Liu Yan a disgusted look. When Yun Qi disappeared, they wanted their son's things, but Liu Yan protected them and refused to give them away. Now that they had gotten used to not having their son and not being able to see his things, she came to return them. It was really ridiculous!
Liu Yan knew about Zhang's mother's resentment. She just bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then put the handbag on the coffee table.
“Auntie, I went to South Africa a while ago and met Zhang Yunqi there, so... I think it's best to return these things to you.”
As Liu Yan spoke, she seemed to see Zhang Yunqi embracing Liu Di again, and that adorable child. All that happiness should have belonged to her, but... after waiting for so many years, all she got in the end was her beloved with another woman. Heaven had truly given her a cruel irony!
"What...what did you say? Where is Yun Qi now? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Zhang's mother's words were filled with emotion. Liu Yan bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. Gu Mingxia reached out and held her small hand, and Liu Yan calmed down, looking up at Zhang's mother calmly.
"Zhang Yunqi is married in South Africa and has a daughter. If you want to find him, here is the address!"
Liu Yan put down a note; she didn't want to stay any longer. Upon hearing the news that Zhang Yunqi had married and had a daughter in South Africa, Zhang's mother immediately took the note as if it were a precious treasure, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Auntie, we're leaving! Thank you for taking care of me before. Take care in the future!"
