"Qingyan, get up first." Meng Yunche watched Fu Jingran leave, sighed, and bent down to help Gu Qingyan up, only to find that he was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing Gu Qingyan sobbing uncontrollably, his heart ached. He knelt down and reached out to help Gu Qingyan up, but as soon as he touched him, he found that Gu Qingyan's body was stiff, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
Gu Qingyan struggled free, then pounded the ground with her fists, shouting resentfully, "Why wasn't I the one who died?! Fu Jingran was right, I should have died with Wanqing! I shouldn't have come back alone, leaving her there all alone, she was so pitiful!"
Meng Yunche was shocked by Gu Qingyan's words; he had never seen Gu Qingyan like this before. He was momentarily bewildered. When Gu Qingyan insisted on marrying Shen Zhi Qiu, he had been extremely resolute. However, after Wan Qing returned to the country, as her brother, he knew that Gu Qingyan doted on Xiao Wan Qing, but he never expected it to come to this.
"Qingyan, what nonsense are you spouting?" Meng Yunche's voice was somewhat annoyed. He couldn't imagine that Gu Qingyan would say such a thing. "Calm down! You're trying to kill yourself right now, have you thought about your parents? How can you be so selfish?!"
Meng Yunche's voice carried an undisguised anger and disappointment. Looking at Gu Qingyan's distraught state, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him. They had once been such close brothers, but now, Gu Qingyan had become like this, and it pained him deeply.
But Gu Qingyan seemed oblivious to Meng Yunche's rebuke, still lost in his own world. His eyes were empty and deep, as if he had lost his soul. His body swayed under the influence of alcohol, threatening to collapse at any moment, but he continued to mutter to himself, "I'm going to find Wanqing, I'm going to find her! I'm going now!"
Seeing Gu Qingyan's state, Meng Yunche felt even angrier. He knew Gu Qingyan was suffering terribly because of Xiao Wanqing's death, but he couldn't let Gu Qingyan continue to sink into despair. He had to find a way to bring Gu Qingyan back to reality and help him face life again.
"No way, Gu Qingyan, are you sick? Even though you're divorced from Shen Zhi Qiu, you still have a child! Are you just going to abandon him? Are you even human?!" Meng Yunche couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "If I were your parents, I would kick you out of the house!"
Gu Qingyan's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at Meng Yunche. His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and helplessness, "How do you know? My mother has indeed kicked me out, wants to sever ties with me, and has frozen all my cards. I have nothing now, haha, I really have nothing!"
As he spoke, Gu Qingyan gave a bitter smile. "Are you satisfied now? None of you understand me except Wanqing. I want to be with her. I didn't cherish her when she was alive, and even if she dies now, I still want to be with her."
"How can we be together? You're going to die too?" Meng Yunche shoved Gu Qingyan away. "Fine, I'll grant your wish. Go ahead and die if you want. You're not young anymore, and you're still trying to pull that non-mainstream act, committing suicide for love?! Good, really good, Gu Qingyan. It's a good thing you didn't commit suicide in Nancheng, otherwise I would have found a bunch of streamers to gather on the beach where you committed suicide and broadcast it live. You would have completely disgraced the Gu family!"
"I'm not afraid of dying for Wanqing!" Gu Qingyan muttered discontentedly.
"Good, good, good! President Gu is so affectionate!"
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from outside the door, like a sharp knife piercing Gu Qingyan's heart.
An An kicked the door open, leaned against the doorway, crossed her arms, and glanced coldly at Gu Qingyan, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust.
Gu Qingyan's face instantly turned ashen. He glared angrily at An'an. "What did you say?" Gu Qingyan roared. "Say it again!"
An'an was not afraid of Gu Qingyan's anger at all. She sneered and said, "It's disgusting. When your wife ran away with your child, you even chased after her all the way to Rongcheng. Although I looked down on you at the time, you still had a little bit of responsibility."
Now look what's happened! People are making a scene over such a worthless piece of trash. It's disgusting!
Enraged by An'an's words, Gu Qingyan broke free from Meng Yunche's grasp, clenched his fists, and staggered towards An'an. Seeing this, Meng Yunche quickly stepped forward and pulled Gu Qingyan back. He knew Gu Qingyan had lost his temper and that letting him rush forward would only cause more chaos.
"Qingyan, calm down!" Meng Yunche shouted.
Gu Qingyan struggled to break free from Meng Yunche's grasp, "Let me go! I want her to shut up! How could she say such things about Wanqing? Wanqing is my only one, she is my life!" But Meng Yunche held him tightly.
An'an looked at Gu Qingyan's crazy behavior and curled her lips in disgust.
"An'an," Meng Yunche shook his head at her and whispered, "Don't say anything. Didn't I tell you not to come over?"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have witnessed such a spectacular scene? Ha!" An'an continued sarcastically, "Shen Zhi Qiu marrying a man like Gu Qingyan is a disgrace she can never erase!" As she spoke, An'an looked at Gu Qingyan, "Tsk tsk tsk, I just heard you say that you were kicked out of your family, have nothing, and your cards were frozen, is that right?"
"Shut up!" Gu Qingyan swayed as he raised his head, trying to sober up, but his head was too dizzy. He shook his head violently and yelled at An'an.
"Heh, I'm on my husband's turf, I can say whatever I want. But you penniless wretch, I'm afraid you can't afford the bill tonight, can you?" An An sneered. "Let me tell you, if you don't have money to pay the bill tonight, you'll stay here and wash dishes to pay off your debt."
As she spoke, she walked inside, looked at the wine bottles on the table and the broken glass on the floor, and said, "Oh, it looks like you're not leaving today. You'll have to pay compensation. Our rule here is that if there is any damage, you have to pay one hundred times the original price."
"Are you trying to extort me?" Gu Qingyan roared angrily at An'an.
"So what if I extort you? This is my territory. I can set whatever rules I want. Do you have a problem with that?" An An leaned down and said with a sneer, "Let me tell you, you're not leaving here today."
"An'an, don't..." Meng Yunche was a little anxious. He knew that An'an had always disliked Gu Qingyan, but he didn't want to make things more complicated.
"You shut up too, or you won't be getting into the house tonight." An'an glared at him, and Meng Yunche pursed his lips and really didn't say anything more.
After An'an finished speaking, she walked into the corridor and called out to the patrolling security guard.
