Chapter 36 Suicide?
"Miss, thank you for standing up for me..."
Tang Wan'er didn't show much emotion. She only stood up because she couldn't stand those bizarre remarks anymore. Normally, she probably wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter.
"You're welcome. I'm not trying to stand up for you. I just think that man's words were too much, and I couldn't stand it anymore."
Just then, Gu Panzi's phone rang.
She picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and her face suddenly turned deathly pale.
She went outside to the terrace before answering the phone.
His tone was clearly panicked when he spoke.
"Hello? Mom..."
Sure enough, her mother's roar immediately came through the phone.
"Gu Panzi, what's wrong with you? I finally found you a man who's highly educated, tall, and good-looking—a perfect match for you—and you actually had someone drive him away? Do you even know you're a jinx? It's rare that someone doesn't mind; they're an intellectual who doesn't believe in those feudal superstitions, which is why they don't care about your past. Otherwise, do you think you'd be so..."
Will she ever be able to get married?
Gu Panzi felt quite wronged. Why didn't anyone ask what the truth was before they had to scold her?
Just then, Gu Panzi's father suddenly snatched the phone and started yelling at her.
"You brat, let me tell you, if you can't get married this year, don't even think about coming into our family! Don't you know what you've done to our family? My stocks have lost so much money! If you don't leave our family, we'll be ruined!"
Gu Panzi's eyes were already brimming with tears. Why did everyone say she was a jinx? What had she done wrong?
Just then, a sharp sound from the phone startled her, causing her hand to tremble and the phone to fall directly from the 26th floor.
She was about to reach out to pick it up when half of her body was already outside the glass railing.
Her high heels slipped, and she almost fell. She thought she was going to die this time.
In that instant, she actually gave up struggling.
She thought that if she died like this, it might not be so bad.
If she dies, she will no longer be called a jinx, no longer be disliked, and will no longer have to live such a hard life.
But just as she gave up struggling, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist.
He was pulled back by a great force.
She opened her eyes in disbelief. She hadn't died; had someone saved her?
Then a pleasant yet slightly sinister voice rang in my ears.
"You're planning to jump off a building and commit suicide just because you failed a blind date? Your mental fortitude is really too weak, isn't it?"
Gu Panzi looked up and saw a handsome face in front of her that looked like a demon.
She was in Qi Xuan's arms at that moment, and the man looked at her with interest, as if he wanted to see through her inner world.
Gu Panzi was stunned for a few seconds. She had never had such close contact with a man before. She never expected that the first time she was hugged by a man would be by such a handsome man.
Her heart was pounding wildly, and her breathing was rapid with tension.
The man's captivating eyes seemed to be under a spell, making her afraid to look him in the eye.
