An'an looked at the screen with satisfaction, then zoomed in with her finger to admire it closely.
A slender, graceful figure stood amidst the distant green mountains, dressed in a white dress that made her appear like an ethereal fairy. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the white veil to flutter. She tilted her head slightly, reaching out to touch the grapes on the trellis, her jet-black hair cascading down, exuding a refined and otherworldly charm.
An'an grabbed her camera and ran quickly toward Shen Zhi Qiu, wanting to take more photos.
Shen Zhi Qiu heard someone panting heavily and assumed it was Lu Xiao Yu who had woken up and come looking for her.
She turned around with a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, you've come at the right time. Could you help me carry this bamboo basket? I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zhi Qiu froze, looking at the woman in front of her dressed in black sportswear and holding a camera with some surprise. She looked her up and down and asked warily, "Who are you?"
After all, this is Lu Jia's private place, and it's deep in the mountains, so it's unlikely that tourists would come here to play on a normal day.
"Zhi Qiu?" An An looked at her carefully and called out her name with some uncertainty.
Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback, and subconsciously denied it, "Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else." Then she picked up the bamboo basket and turned to leave.
“Zhi Qiu.” An An quickly reached out and grabbed her sleeve. “I saw you at Mrs. Gu’s birthday banquet. Zhi Qiu, I meant no harm.”
Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback and turned around to examine her closely.
She stood there, dressed in a black tracksuit, looking quite dashing. But it seemed that such a person wasn't on her mind at all.
Upon seeing the camera in her hand, Shen Zhi Qiu suddenly remembered the photographer from that day's birthday party, so she tentatively asked, "You were the photographer that day, and your name is..." Shen Zhi Qiu tried hard to recall her name.
“My name is An’an. I’m Meng Yunche’s girlfriend, a good friend of Gu Qingyan.” An’an looked at the endless mountain range and smiled. “No wonder Gu Qingyan couldn’t find you. If I hadn’t stumbled here by accident, I would never have imagined you would be here.”
Upon hearing Gu Qingyan's name, Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, her expression turning sour.
An An glanced at her stomach and said indifferently, "I heard you're pregnant. I've also heard Meng Yunche talk about your situation. Gu Qingyan is a real scoundrel."
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's curled fingers, she added, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened here."
She casually gathered her wavy hair together, pulled a black hair tie from her left wrist, and tied it up. Then she took the bamboo basket from Shen Zhi Qiu's hand and said naturally, "Let's go, I'll go down the mountain with you."
Seeing the hesitation in Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes, An An calmly said, "Don't worry, I said I wouldn't tell, and I absolutely won't. I'm accompanying you down the mountain only because I'm going down too, and since you're pregnant, it's just a convenient thing for me to carry your basket. Besides, Aunt Mu has always been very kind to me, and I know she likes you a lot. I heard that since you left, Aunt Mu has been furious and has scolded Gu Qing Yan countless times. If you divorce Gu Qing Yan, I don't think he'll have a good time in the future."
Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips and said calmly, "I have already asked my lawyer to give him the divorce agreement."
"Gu Qingyan did those things, so you have every right to divorce me. But if I were you, I would ask for as much money as possible when I bring up divorce."
Finding a man is incredibly easy, but earning money and raising children is exhausting. Don't be soft-hearted towards Gu Qingyan.
An'an, carrying a bamboo basket, talked to herself.
Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but glance at her, after all, she originally thought An An would speak up for Gu Qing Yan.
An'an continued, "My mom always told me this: being soft-hearted towards a man who has made mistakes is being cruel to yourself. He didn't consider your feelings when he hurt you, so you can't be sentimental when you're ready to stab him in the back, otherwise you'll always be the one who suffers."
Even if one day you forgive Gu Qingyan, it will only be after he's suffered greatly. After all, what he did was utterly disgusting, so it's normal for you to hate him.
Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips and slowly said, "To be honest, I don't hate Gu Qing Yan. We didn't get married because of love. It's true that our relationship dropped to a freezing point after Xiao Wan Qing came back, but I left not because I resented Gu Qing Yan, but more for the sake of the child. After all, there was no love between us, so how can there be any hate?"
An'an was somewhat surprised. It was quite normal for people in Gu Qingyan's social circle to marry not out of love, but often through family alliances to maximize benefits. However, Shen Zhi Qiu's family was clearly worlds apart from Gu Qingyan's, so how could it be considered an alliance? She rarely gossiped with Meng Yun Che, so she assumed that with such a disparity in family background, Gu Qingyan had married out of love.
As she was pondering, a clear male voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Zhi Qiu." Lu Jia heard from her grandmother that Shen Zhi Qiu had gone up the mountain alone, so she was a little worried and hurried up to check on her. Unexpectedly, she saw a strange woman with her and immediately looked her over with some vigilance.
