Upon recognizing the person, Gu Qingyan narrowed his eyes, his expression changing drastically, his gaze flashing with fury. He stared intently at Fu Jingran, as if trying to see right through him. "What are you doing here?"
His voice was low and hoarse, clearly indicating he was drunk.
Fu Jingran seemed unconcerned about Gu Qingyan's attitude. He curled the corners of his lips into a disdainful smile. Then, he casually slumped onto the sofa, his hands resting naturally on the edges, the collar of his white shirt open, revealing his well-defined, bronze muscles. He held a wine glass in his right hand, gently swirling the red wine inside, a smile spreading across his face.
"I can come and go as I please, what's it to you?" he said with a sneer, his tone full of provocation and arrogance. Then, he tilted his head back and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, clicking his tongue twice in praise: "Good wine! It seems I should book the entire Blue Domain tonight and treat everyone to drinks to celebrate Xiao Wanqing's death properly."
His words were like sharp knives piercing Gu Qingyan's heart, every word filled with insult and mockery. Gu Qingyan's face turned ashen, his hands clenched into fists, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
Meng Yunche frowned and advised, "Jingran, how could you say such heartless things? We've been friends with Wanqing for many years, even if..." As he spoke, Meng Yunche suddenly thought of the past grievances between Fu Jingran and Xiao Wanqing, pursed his lips, and swallowed his words, not saying anything more.
A brief silence fell over the private room, broken only by Fu Jingran's leisurely laughter. However, this tranquility was short-lived, quickly shattered by Gu Qingyan's angry roar…
"Fu Jingran, you're a real bastard! Wanqing is dead, what are you celebrating?" With that, Gu Qingyan pounced on him, but because he was drunk, his vision was blurry, and he lost his balance and fell to the side.
Meng Yunche panicked and quickly reached out to grab Gu Qingyan, but the next second, Fu Jingran raised his foot and kicked Gu Qingyan hard in the waist, then curled his lips into a provocative smile and leisurely drank from his wine glass, saying, "Good wine, the wine tonight is especially delicious."
"Qingyan!" Meng Yunche exclaimed, rushing over to help Gu Qingyan up. Looking at Gu Qingyan's pained expression and scraped forehead, he was filled with guilt and self-reproach. If he had been able to pull Gu Qingyan back in time, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
Meanwhile, Fu Jingran remained leisurely seated on the sofa, a cold smile playing on his lips as he watched Gu Qingyan's disheveled state. He gently swirled his wine glass, his eyes filled with mockery, as if he were enjoying a captivating performance.
"Gu Qingyan, you're utterly useless!" Fu Jingran took another sip of wine, looking at Gu Qingyan with mockery. "Look at you, you can't even walk steadily, yet you want to hit me? It's utterly laughable!"
Gu Qingyan struggled to his feet, glaring angrily at Fu Jingran, his eyes blazing with fury. But waves of dizziness made him collapse onto the opposite sofa, gasping for breath.
Looking at Gu Qingyan's disheveled state, Meng Yunche felt a surge of helplessness and anger. He knew he had to do something to stop this farce. He walked up to Fu Jingran and said coldly, "Fu Jingran, that's enough! Qingyan is already drunk, what more do you want? We've been friends for so many years, are you really going to turn against each other over a woman?"
Fu Jingran looked at Meng Yunche, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He put down his wine glass, stood up, and approached Meng Yunche step by step. His voice was cold and deep: "Who do you think you are? Meddling in my business, you're just bored?"
Meng Yunche met Fu Jingran's gaze without flinching and stood in front of Gu Qingyan, saying, "I just don't want to see you bullying your brother."
Fu Jingran sneered, "Brothers? What brothers? What a joke! Brothers would steal my woman? Knowing that Xiao Wanqing was going to marry me, I had already sent out the invitations, and he was still entangled with Xiao Wanqing. Is this how brothers act? Don't play dumb with me!"
"You..." Meng Yunche was speechless for a moment; he really had nothing to say about this.
However, Gu Qingyan, who was lying on the sofa resting after getting drunk, felt his anger intensify upon hearing Fu Jingran's words. He struggled to his feet and charged at Fu Jingran again, shouting, "You're talking nonsense! When did Wanqing become your woman?"
"Wanqing has always been by my side, what right do you have to try and take her from me?!" Gu Qingyan's tone was extremely dissatisfied. He snorted coldly, "If I don't beat you awake today, you're still dreaming!"
However, Gu Qingyan's movements became extremely sluggish under the influence of alcohol, and his consciousness began to fade. Fu Jingran sneered, easily dodging his attack, and then struck him hard in the stomach.
Gu Qingyan doubled over in pain, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and the anger in his eyes was instantly replaced by agony. He clutched his stomach, unable to straighten up at all.
Seeing Gu Qingyan injured, and considering the Gu family's power in Nancheng, Meng Yunche panicked and rushed forward to pull Fu Jingran away, shouting, "Fu Jingran, stop! Are you crazy? How am I supposed to explain to the Gu family if you hurt him?!"
However, Fu Jingran showed no sign of stopping. He shoved Meng Yunche aside, kicked Gu Qingyan to the ground, and then unceremoniously stepped on Gu Qingyan's back, looking down at him condescendingly, "Gu Qingyan, let me tell you, even if Xiao Wanqing is dead, she was once my woman!"
"I just don't understand anymore. The person is dead, what are you two still arguing about? Are you crazy?" Meng Yunche couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"Just trying to save face. But if you ask me, she deserved to die. Such a heartless woman deserved to die," Fu Jingran said coldly.
"Say that again, you son of a bitch?" Gu Qingyan struggled to get up, but Fu Jingran stomped on her even harder. He bent down and looked at Gu Qingyan, saying, "Gu Qingyan, you really disgust me. You call your infidelity 'true love'? Bah! You're just as hypocritical and disgusting as Xiao Wanqing. If you love her so much, why don't you die with her?"
After saying that, he let go of his foot, took a tissue to wipe his hands, threw it disdainfully at Gu Qingyan's face, and turned to walk towards the door. The moment he opened the door, he glanced back at Gu Qingyan and Meng Yunche, a wicked smile on his face, "Meng Yunche, I've booked your place tonight. I'm going to throw a big party to celebrate, haha."
