"Madman!" Shen Zhi Qiu cursed angrily, her heart filled with rage and despair.
"Yes, I admit I'm crazy, are you satisfied now?" Xiao Wanqing walked over, bent down, pinched Shen Zhi Qiu's chin, and said triumphantly, "I don't care how you scold me, as long as I'm happy. Don't worry, I'll let you meet Lu Jia soon. It's just a pity that such a handsome man is going to die for you, hehe."
Xiao Wanqing raised her eyebrows with a grin, her eyes full of provocation and mockery. "Oh, by the way, your worthless ex-husband will be coming along too."
"What is Gu Qingyan doing here?" Shen Zhi Qiu frowned as she pondered. The thought of Lu Jia's arrival made her heart sink. She knew that Xiao Wan Qing was a person of her word, and she was really afraid that Lu Jia would be implicated.
"Is there even a question? It's definitely for me!" Xiao Wanqing said confidently. "It seems you still don't understand Gu Qingyan. He's so stubborn. Fine, since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you die knowing why. To put it bluntly, Gu Qingyan has always loved me, but we've never been able to bring it up."
Actually, the matter is very simple. My brother really did die to save Gu Qingyan's life back then, and Gu Qingyan truly felt guilty. That's why he knelt before my brother's grave and swore to our whole family that he would protect me for the rest of his life.
Xiao Wanqing released Shen Zhiqiu, pushed her to the ground, stood up and looked down at her, "But people are really too fickle, and over time, do you think Gu Qingyan's feelings for me are really just to repay a debt of gratitude or the brother-sister relationship he keeps talking about?"
It's often said that those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. But as someone directly involved, I can clearly see that Gu Qingyan's feelings for me have changed.
I believe that he truly liked you back then, you could even say he loved you. I've seen him staring blankly at your photo in his study time and time again. When he wasn't there, I secretly went in to look at it. The photo was already a bit yellowed, which showed how many times he had looked at it over and over again.
However, the human heart is the most unfathomable thing. When I contacted Gu Qingyan to ask him to stay with me, he initially treated me like an older brother, wanting to be there for me and worried that I wasn't doing well in a foreign country. I knew he only felt guilty towards me. But gradually, my requests became more and more unreasonable. I even asked him to fly over to be with me on Valentine's Day. He hesitated, and just when I thought he would refuse, he still came, bringing with him my favorite limited-edition bag and necklace.
I know he's fallen in love with me, but he hasn't realized it yet, or perhaps he's resisting it, afraid to admit it. Every time he comes to see me, I can feel a deep longing and reluctance in his eyes. He always tries to keep his distance, yet he can't help caring for me and looking after me. This feeling is so strange.
Xiao Wanqing glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu as she spoke, and sneered, "Shen Zhi Qiu, if I'm not mistaken, Gu Qing Yan has never cooked for you, has he? You probably don't believe it, but he's an excellent cook. When he comes to visit me, he cooks for me and even tidies up my room."
I was very surprised at the time, wondering how someone who had been pampered since childhood could do such a thing. I even asked him about it, and he said that he had specifically consulted the family's maid, worried that I wouldn't be comfortable with strangers coming to the house to clean and cook, so he came himself.
Back then, I even pleaded with him to promise that I would never cook for another woman in my life, and he immediately agreed, saying that he would never do it, and that I was the most special one in his heart.
Over the years, he has always bought me things I like. When we go shopping, if my eyes fall on something, he will buy it for me without even asking my opinion. He will also stay by my side when I am sick, feed me medicine, and stay by my bedside to wipe my sweat when I have a fever and feel unwell.
At that time, I deliberately avoided thinking about why he did what he did, or rather, I didn't want to know. I thought that as long as I continued like this, I would eventually win him over. But I never imagined that he would ultimately give me up for you. When I saw his marriage certificate with you, my heart broke. I don't understand why he chose you instead of me. I don't understand why, despite having such deep feelings for me, he ultimately chose you.
I did think about breaking free from that relationship and letting go, but even after I got together with someone else, Gu Qingyan still treated me the same way, and out of guilt, he treated me even better.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, tell me, is this still the affection between brother and sister?" Xiao Wan Qing looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with a mocking smile on her face, as if she had expected Shen Zhi Qiu's reaction.
"You guys are disgusting. I can't even comment on something so disgusting," Shen Zhi Qiu said, turning her head away with utter disgust.
“Yes, I didn’t say I wasn’t disgusted.” Xiao Wanqing smiled faintly and continued drinking her coffee, then rested her chin on her hand and looked at Shen Zhi Qiu. “But Gu Qingyan has never faced our feelings squarely. He’s been stubborn and has never admitted that he no longer sees me as a brother or sister.”
"Now you can be together legitimately. I'm divorced from him, it's all over." Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at Xiao Wan Qing and said sarcastically.
"Ugh, I don't want him anymore." Xiao Wanqing curled her lips in disdain, as if she had heard something unbelievable. "Shen Zhi Qiu, you may have misunderstood me. I have no intention of competing with you for Gu Qing Yan. I'm telling you this simply to annoy you."
Xiao Wanqing's tone was full of provocation and sarcasm, as if she wanted to see Shen Zhi Qiu's pained and distressed expression.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu frown as she expected, Xiao Wan Qing laughed and said smugly, "Shen Zhi Qiu, you may not know me well. I never want trash. To me now, Gu Qing Yan is a useless piece of trash, so naturally I won't want him."
"Then what do you want to do by calling Gu Qingyan here?" Shen Zhi Qiu was a little alarmed, intuitively feeling that Xiao Wan Qing was definitely up to no good again.
“I called him here for a reason.” Xiao Wanqing smiled mysteriously, glancing at her watch with a calculating look in her eyes. “Alright, I’ve said everything I need to say. You don’t need to know anything else. I need to call your brother and the others.”
