Gu Nian looked up at him.
Xu Changfeng is quite tall. Considering Gu Nian's still-developing height, she definitely needs to look up to see him.
Gu Nian said, "Okay, let's find a place to talk! I hope this is the last time, regardless of whether we've explained things clearly or not!"
Gu Hui tugged at her: "Gu Nian!"
Aunt Gu patted Gu Hui: "Huihui, this kind of thing really needs to be made clear, but we can't let the two of them go alone. Let's go with them. You talk, and we'll watch from a distance. We won't hear you, okay?"
Xu Changfeng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
So, the group followed Xu Changfeng to the riverbank.
Guo Wan was somewhat reluctant, but she couldn't see Lu Zheng anywhere, and the only way she had a better chance of seeing him was by going with the Gu family.
Upon reaching the riverbank, Gu Nian pointed to a less crowded area not far away and said, "Third Aunt, Sister Huihui, you can wait for me here! I'll be right there after I've explained things to him!"
Aunt Gu nodded: "Okay, go ahead!"
Once they reached a safe location, Gu Nian stopped and looked at Xu Changfeng: "Young Master Xu, if you have any questions, please ask!"
Xu Changfeng tried to reach out to Gu Nian, but Gu Nian dodged him.
Xu Changfeng looked at Gu Nian sadly: "Niannian, I didn't mean to do it at your door last time. I just couldn't stand your cold words to me. After I got back, I kept thinking about you and our past. I'm sorry, Niannian."
Gu Nian sighed: "Young Master Xu, as you said, that's all in the past. People grow up. I'm a year older this year and will be of marriageable age soon. I know exactly what I want. You are not my type."
Xu Changfeng grew anxious: "But you used to..."
Gu Nian interrupted him: "That was in the past, people change. The me of the past doesn't represent the me of now. Maybe I liked you before just because of your good family background. But now I know that there are many, many people in this world with better family backgrounds than you, so why should I hang myself on you? I will definitely meet someone better than you in the future."
Xu Changfeng took two steps back, looking at Gu Nian in disbelief: "Niannian, you've changed! You said before that you weren't after my family, but me."
Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, I've changed. I used to be after you, but now I only want money and status. I like whoever has more money and higher status. I'm just a vain and materialistic girl like that. Xu Changfeng, are you really that stupid? You were actually fooled by a girl like me who hadn't even reached adulthood!"
Xu Changfeng's expression suddenly changed, his eyes turned sinister, and he took out a dagger from his pocket, pointing it directly at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian was already on guard against this move, and seeing the dagger coming at her, she kicked Xu Changfeng's hand away without thinking.
Then he stepped forward, grabbed Xu Changfeng's body, bent down, hoisted him up, and threw him into the river!
"Ah! Someone has fallen into the water!" Her words startled the girls releasing lanterns by the river.
"Help! I can't swim! I can't swim!" Xu Changfeng struggled in the water.
Gu Nian scratched her head, hesitating whether to go down and rescue him herself or wait for someone else to do so. She had no idea that Xu Changfeng couldn't swim.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Suddenly, a chorus of barks arose, and the crowd stirred.
"Make way! Make way!" At this moment, a figure rushed over quickly, looking behind him as he ran, completely unaware of Gu Nian by the river.
The person was moving too fast. Gu Nian, who was still thinking about whether to save the person, was a beat too slow and was knocked directly into the river.
"Damn it!" Gu Nian was furious.
"Damn it! Hey, why is the dog in the water?" the man who bumped into her exclaimed, only to be surprised to find that the dog had followed him in.
"Are you an idiot?! Dogs can swim!" Gu Nian was so angry she didn't know what to say. Three dogs were coming, she had to swim away; escaping was the priority!
