The next day at noon, the director examined her again and, after confirming that she was alright, Lu Dongjue sent her back to the Yun family.
She had a slight sprain in her left ankle, so she walked with a limp.
After sending Yun Sui home, Lu Dongjue went to the company.
At this moment, Yun Wanqing, who had been playing outside all night, also returned.
The first thing she did upon returning was to go find Yun Suiwan.
She wanted to confirm it because she had heard that Yun Suiwan had been beaten.
She arrived at the door of Yun Suiwan's bedroom and saw that she was walking with a limp.
Yun Wanqing's face lit up with joy, and she flung the door open with a bang.
Yun Suiwan frowned, a hint of impatience on her face. "Are you crazy?"
Yun Wanqing put her hands behind her back and said with a smug look on her face,
"Sister, I've said it before, no matter how hard you try, it won't make a difference if it doesn't belong to you."
Yun Suiwan sneered. Couldn't she come up with a different story? She was just bragging; she hadn't seen anything happen between Lu Dongjue and her.
Moreover, she now has a good relationship with Lu Dongjue, so she doesn't care what Yun Wanqing says.
"Sister, it must be unpleasant to be with a man who doesn't love you, right?"
Yun Suiwan thought about Lu Dongjue's embarrassed look and shrugged. "I think it's not bad."
"Heh, stop pretending. Let me tell you, he had a lover before me, you didn't know that, did you?"
Yun Suiwan was too lazy to pay attention to her; such attempts to sow discord were too childish.
"They're childhood sweethearts. I heard they have a very good relationship, but the girl's family had some problems, and she went abroad a long time ago."
"Oh," Yun Suiwan responded indifferently.
"Sister, I know you've liked him since you were little and wanted to marry him. Do you know why he likes me and not you?" Yun Wanqing said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan's smile froze. In fact, she also wanted to know why, because she and Lu Dongjue had a good relationship when they were young, but they gradually drifted apart as they grew up.
"You really want to know, don't you? I'm not going to tell you. If you want to marry him, then go ahead and marry him. You'll get to experience what it's like to be alone in an empty room."
After saying that, Yun Wanqing left triumphantly.
Yun Suiwan frowned slightly. In truth, she still felt somewhat resentful towards Lu Dongjue.
The resentment had faded, but because of what happened last night, that feeling rekindled.
Yun Suiwan pressed her chest; she knew this was wrong, but she couldn't control herself.
Yun Suiwan was somewhat absent-minded for the entire afternoon.
People who have suffered too much hardship really can't handle even a little bit of sweetness, or they'll become addicted.
In the evening, Gu Ruzhi called, wanting to invite her to dinner.
It was quite unexpected that Gu Ruzhi would ask her out.
Although Gu Ruzhi is the daughter of the Gu family, she has to work every day and has very little free time.
Yun gladly accepted the invitation at the end of the year.
*
Gu Ruzhi arranged to meet her at an affordable restaurant. Yun Suiwan was wearing a knitted cardigan with a long skirt underneath, her long hair slightly tied up, and she looked very gentle.
Gu Ruzhi was wearing an ordinary white dress and carrying a canvas bag, looking very simple and unassuming.
"Suiwan, over here." Gu Ruzhi had already ordered the food, and as soon as she saw Yun Suiwan arrive, she waved to her.
"There was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm late," Yun Suiwan said as she sat down.
"It's alright, the food has just been served."
Yun Suiwan looked at the four dishes on the table; they were all her favorites.
Gu Ruzhi still remembers her taste to this day.
The two chatted as they ate.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Ruzhi's tone became hesitant, "Suiwan, were you alright last night?"
"What?"
“I heard from them that Lu Dongjue… hit you…” Gu Ruzhi said nervously, gripping her chopsticks tightly.
"..."
"No, I just tripped and fell last night."
"Yes, yes, I understand, Suiwan." Gu Ruzhi's perfunctory attitude made her think that Yun Suiwan was lying.
"..."
"As the year draws to a close, I have a piece of advice for you: break up with him. He's not a good person."
"What?"
Gu Ruzhi pursed her lips, her face seemingly showing some difficulty. "Lu Dongjue told others that he was just playing around with you, that you're very casual, and that you're quite promiscuous in bed."
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan's expression immediately turned ugly; she felt extremely embarrassed.
"Zhizhi, who... told you this?"
“Gu Fanchu, he was talking to his cronies at home, saying that Lu Dongjue said it himself. He also said that you were beaten by Lu Dongjue.”
Gu Fanchu is Gu Ruzhi's half-brother. He is usually wicked and womanizing, a well-known playboy in City A, and also Lu Dongjue's brother.
"At the end of the year, although Gu Fanchu was usually carefree and irresponsible, he wouldn't dare to speak ill of Lu Dongjue." In other words, those words were indeed said by Lu Dongjue.
Yun Suiwan's hand, which was hidden under the table, was now clenched into a fist.
Anger and sadness were intertwined.
She had never felt so embarrassed; she never expected Lu Dongjue to see her like that.
"At the end of the year, if you have a choice, leave Lu Dongjue. He can't give you anything, he can only humiliate you."
Yun Suiwan smiled slightly, "Zhizhi, thank you."
Gu Ruzhi grabbed her hand tightly, "You must break off your relationship with him!"
Yun Suiwan looked at Gu Ruzhi in surprise. Gu Ruzhi was too excited at this moment, which surprised Yun Suiwan.
"I have photos here."
"What?"
Gu Ruzhi took out her phone and showed Yun Suiwan two photos.
Yun Suiwan silently looked at the photo without saying a word.
In the photo, Lu Dongjue is looking down, holding a girl in his arms. The girl's face shows a hint of timidity.
"Gu Fanchu said that they often organize gatherings, a group of men and a group of women. What do you think they might do?"
Yun Suiwan returned the phone to Gu Ruzhi.
In her mind, Lu Dongjue was a serious, aloof, and earnest man.
I never expected him to have such a womanizing side.
That's right. His attitude towards Yun Wanqing reveals his fickle nature.
"I thought he was just a womanizer, but I didn't expect him to hit women. I have to tell you."
“Zhizhi, I understand. He didn’t hit me. I accidentally fell last night, and somehow it got the rumor that he hit me. No matter how bad he is, he is still the eldest son of the Lu family, and he still has to save face.”
"Really?"
Yun Suiwan nodded.
Gu Ruzhi looked at her with concern, "Do you really have to marry him? Don't you have any other choices? Is living with someone who doesn't love you and doesn't respect you really your choice?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan couldn't help but give an awkward smile.
It turns out that her relationship with Lu Dongjue was so unbearable in the eyes of outsiders, and that she was also so pitiful.
“Zhizhi, the Yun family came first, then I.”
A hint of sympathy for her was revealed in Gu Ruzhi's eyes.
Although Yun Suiwan is the daughter of the Yun family, she has no right to choose her own marriage.
And she, being an illegitimate child, was even more wretched than Yun Suiwan.
Their lives are a complete mess.
