Chapter 1954 Gan Rui's Collapse
Shu Yu looked up. "What do you mean by that?"
Gan Rui sighed, "Speaking of which, the county princess may not know, but ever since that incident with the Chen family, Chen Qiu has been constantly appearing in front of me."
Shu Yu recalled what he had said earlier: Chen Qiu initially had his eye on Gan Rui, but later shifted his focus to Xun Sheng.
"What, is she still hung up on you?"
“It’s not that I’m not giving up on him, it’s that I’m not giving up on Brother Xun.” Gan Rui clicked his tongue and shook his head. “The Chen family doesn’t even have a home anymore. Chen Qiu is living with the Pan family, which is like being a dependent. The Pan family has also been implicated because of the Chen family’s affairs, and they hate Chen He and his sister very much. You can imagine how their lives are in the Pan family.”
Chen He was fine, he had already given up on himself and didn't care what the Pan family said to him. He was so shameless that he just stayed with the Pan family.
The Pan family will eventually be unable to tolerate his current state.
Chen Qiu was different; she was still a virgin. In those days, people were always more harsh on women than on men.
Given Chen Qiu's situation, no family in the Changjin Manor with even a modicum of respect would dare to marry her.
No one in the Pan family cared about her future anymore; if things continued like this, she would have no future. Chen Qiu had no choice but to grasp at her only lifeline – Xun Sheng.
“But Brother Xun left Changjin Mansion and went home on the third day after the case ended, so of course she couldn’t find him. I didn’t expect that when she couldn’t find Asheng, she came to the Gan family to find me, pretending to be deeply in love with Asheng and pestering me to tell her Asheng’s address. How could I possibly tell her?”
Not only did he not tell anyone, he also told everyone else who knew Xun Sheng's address, and told no one to tell Chen Qiu.
Fortunately, Chen Qiu didn't know anyone else, except for Gan Rui, who was closest to Xun Sheng.
Gan Rui was annoyed; he ran into her every few days when he was out and about.
He was out with his friends, and Chen Qiu stood not far away, watching him with a mournful expression. He was eating at a restaurant, and she huddled by the door, pitifully staring at him.
He went to study at the prefectural school, and she waited for him on the road he always passed.
Gan Rui was utterly disgusted by her. He sent his servants to chase her away, but she ran off and then reappeared.
"It's like a persistent ghost."
Shu Yu found it amusing, "Didn't you go to see the Pan family?"
“We did look for her,” Gan Rui said angrily. “But Pan’s eldest son wouldn’t come out to see me. He sent his daughter-in-law out and told me that they couldn’t do anything. Chen Qiu is a teenager, and she has legs. The Pan family isn’t some thugs. They can’t just tie her up and not let her go out, can they? Ugh, I was so angry I almost vomited blood. No wonder the Pan family could raise such a daughter. The whole family is the same.”
Gan Rui was really furious. His family was in business, selling alcohol, and they were quite wealthy.
Fine, the Pan family won't restrain Chen Qiu, right? Then don't blame him for being impolite.
He used his family's influence to interfere with the Pan family's business, but the Pan family only had two shops, and their business had been bad lately due to the lawsuit, so Gan Rui's move was not very effective.
However, the next day, Chen Qiu knelt before Gan Rui, crying and begging him to spare the Pan family.
Gan Rui almost fainted; he was truly at a loss when faced with the shameless Chen Qiu.
"Usually, I would suggest taking action against this kind of person." Shu Yu is the type who would rather take action than talk.
Gan Rui was almost in tears. "I want to, but if I lay a hand on her, I'm afraid she'll try to blackmail me." He couldn't very well kill her.
