The 311th operation concludes, ending the seven-day countdown.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people who had gone with him to Gushan in the northern suburbs immediately brought Cai Feng, whose hands were tied.
This was the first time Gu Mingxia had seen Cai Feng up close. The man exuded a gloomy aura that made people feel very uncomfortable. At this moment, his eyes were staring at her like a venomous snake.
Gu Mingxia felt inexplicably uncomfortable being stared at like that. She shifted her position on the sofa, raised her eyebrows, and spoke coldly.
"I don't know what deep-seated grudge I have against Mr. Cai Feng that would make you go to such great lengths to kill me!"
"I don't know Miss Gu. It's only been the second time we've met. What deep-seated hatred could there be between us?"
Cai Feng's gaze continued to linger on Gu Mingxia, but his eyes held an indescribable hatred. Gu Mingxia frowned slightly after hearing his words.
Since there was no deep-seated hatred between them, why would he go to such lengths to deal with her? This puzzled Gu Mingxia greatly.
She and Alan were so alike, not only in appearance but also in temperament. In particular, the way they furrowed their brows when they had questions was exactly the same. Gu Mingxia's little gestures made Cai Feng's feelings for Nan Lan resurface little by little. For some reason, he even had a faint smile on his face when he thought about these things.
In his youthful years, he gave all his emotions and youth to Nanlan. In those unrestrained times, his love burned so brightly. Cai Feng didn't know if he regretted it, but he knew that Nanlan was the only woman he had ever loved in his life. Even when he had great power in South Africa, all the women around him were shadows of Nanlan. Some had her eyes and eyebrows, some had her temperament, but none of them could move his heart again.
The woman in front of him, no longer young, is the only child of the person he once loved most. Can he really sever that affection and take her away from this world as well?
Cai Feng didn't know, but he did know one thing: he thought he hated Nan Lan, but the moment he saw Gu Mingxia, Cai Feng knew for sure that his hatred for Nan Lan was not as deep as he had imagined. He was only angry because of her avoidance, and he was only unwilling to accept that they had not been in contact for so many years. Deep in his heart, he still had a deep love for the woman he had fallen in love with for the first time. That love would not diminish with the passage of time, nor would it become indifferent because of her lack of love.
"Since you have no grudge against me, why did you plot to harm my father, and even go so far as to recruit Ah Xin to deal with the Gu family?"
Gu Mingxia asked casually. Although she could come up with a vague answer, she still wanted Cai Feng to tell her in person. This was her biggest question.
"Why? If it weren't for Gu Huaikun's appearance, Alan and I would have been a loving couple. It was because of Gu Huaikun that I lost Alan and my elderly mother. Don't you think I should come and seek revenge on him?"
After hearing this, Gu Mingxia merely raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and coldly looked at Cai Feng.
"I think you may not know, but even without my father, my mother would never have been with you. Girls born into wealthy families have no right to choose their own marriages because they are destined from birth to live for the honor and reputation of their family, and sometimes even have to sacrifice their own happiness. And there's something you don't know either: my mother and father were engaged when they were sixteen. They had feelings for each other, and they had very deep feelings for each other."
These are not lies, it's just that Cai Feng doesn't know them. Gu Mingxia has never believed that Nan Lan would fall in love with someone like Cai Feng. They are from completely different worlds, so how could they live together?
"No, Alan isn't that kind of vain woman! She would never marry someone for money!"
He looked at Gu Mingxia with disbelief, but Gu Mingxia just laughed coldly.
"You're wrong. It's not her place to choose. Even if my mother isn't vain, it doesn't mean the Nan family isn't. There are many things that she can't decide. People who eat garlic can never live with people who drink coffee. It has nothing to do with vanity, it's just reality, a reality you can never overcome!"
Gu Mingxia's words were cold and ruthless. Cai Feng's face turned red and white in turns. Over the years, he had placed all his hatred on Gu Huaikun, but he never thought that it was not that Nan Lan looked down on him, but that he was simply not qualified to be with Nan Lan.
How could a young lady from such a wealthy family be with a penniless boy? Even if the two were just friends, it would already be considered an honor by the Nan family elders.
"you……"
“My mother has always considered you a friend, but it is a friend like you who has rallied the Gu family’s daughter to turn against the Gu family. Fu Xuefeng, ask yourself, have you done right by my mother?”
At this point, Gu Mingxia paused, and Xiao Yan quickly handed her a glass of milk. Gu Mingxia smiled, took it, drank a few sips, and then coldly snorted at Cai Feng, whose face was pale.
"You've already plotted to kill my father through Ah Xin, are you going to destroy the Gu Group before you stop? You've really betrayed my mother's friendship."
"Aunt Nanlan treated you with the sincerity of a friend, but who knew that after so many years, you would kill her husband and now try to ruin her daughter and her family business. Aunt Nanlan must have been blind to consider someone like you a friend!"
Xiao Yan's cold voice struck Cai Feng's heart. Nan Lan must be blind to consider such an ungrateful person as a friend! What has he done all these years?
Cai Feng's face grew paler and paler, and his head drooped lower and lower. The living room was silent. After about twenty minutes, when Cai Feng looked up, he seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant. His face was ashen, and his eyes stared blankly at Gu Mingxia.
"Has Alan... ever mentioned me?"
“You are my mother’s friend, so she will naturally mention you. She always says that she feels most at ease when she is with you, and that you are the friend who makes her feel most relaxed and happy.”
Alan, I never expected that you still remember me, but I have let you down!
Cai Feng was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but Gu Mingxia remained calm as she watched him. Suddenly, Cai Feng sat down on the ground, large tears streaming from his eyes.
"Alan, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. You...you treated me as a friend, but I plotted to harm your husband and your daughter. It's my fault, I don't deserve to be your friend! Alan, I'm sorry, please forgive me, please forgive me?"
