Chapter 138 I Won't Be Used by You a Second Time
“Admitting one’s mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue.”
I don't know who said this first, but the next moment, many voices rang out:
"Yes, now that it's all said and done, Miss Ning should forgive others while she can."
"Everyone has their own bad thoughts. Fortunately, I didn't make any big mistakes, so let it go."
"That's right. Miss Gu is incredibly talented, but I think she has gone astray for a while."
"Ms. Ning, just forget it."
......
One person said it, and everyone agreed. They talked one after another, making Ning Fengzhi pale with anger.
She was clearly seeking justice for herself, so why did Gu Xizhi admit her mistake, drop her veil, and act so pitiful, as if she was being unreasonable and pressing her?
Ning Fengyu, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
Ever since he was "invited" out of the villa by Lu Yunzheng last time, he has never had any contact with Lu Yunzheng again, let alone any interaction with Gu Xizhi.
These days, he has been taking care of his sister's emotions. After listening to her a lot, he also realized that he was indeed wrong.
No matter what the reason, Miss Gu did lie to her sister. The right and wrong cannot be disputed, and he should stand on his sister's side no matter what.
Instead of showing favoritism towards Miss Gu because she had "excusable circumstances" and felt sorry for her.
At this moment, the scene before my eyes is so familiar...
Gu Xizhi had clearly admitted her mistake, but because she admitted it so straightforwardly and because she looked weak and pitiful, everyone subconsciously sided with her.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengyu suddenly realized something and woke up as if from a dream.
etc.
Just now, Miss Gu’s veil seemed to fall off very subtly, and even the timing was so...appropriate.
I have to say, once you understand one thing, you will understand everything.
At this moment, Ning Fengyu couldn't help but recall the moment when his heart was beating fast in Zhenxia Pavilion that day.
At that time, Miss Gu did not stand steadily and accidentally fell into his arms. The sweet fragrance came to her and her delicate body was in his arms. He almost couldn't control himself.
Are these...all coincidences?
Thinking of this, Ning Fengyu suddenly raised his eyes and when he looked at the weak and helpless Gu Xizhi in the hall, he actually felt a hint of horror.
Miss Gu...seems to be particularly good at manipulating people's hearts!
At this time, the persuasion from all around was getting louder and louder, and Ning Fengzhi's eyes were completely red.
She did get an apology from Gu Xizhi, but why did everyone look at her as if she was the one who made the mistake?
Ning Fengzhi felt aggrieved and confused, and subconsciously looked at his brother.
She couldn't imagine that if even her brother was on Gu Xizhi's side, she would...
In the corner, Shen Jiasui had already stood up.
She put her hands on her mask, obviously ready to stand out, but at this moment -
"Miss Gu."
Amid the noise, Ning Fengyu patted his sister's shoulder, protected her behind him, and then looked at Gu Xizhi.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xizhi turned around, tears welling in her eyes. She met Ning Fengyu's gaze tenderly, and then bowed.
"Mr. Ning."
At this moment, Gu Xizhi was no longer panicked.
After apologizing just now, she wanted to escape from here, but suddenly an idea came to her and this move really worked very well.
As long as today's situation can end smoothly, she won't even have to hide in the future and can appear in front of everyone openly.
At this time, Gu Xizhi felt proud.
Because she was in such a difficult situation, she managed to turn it into a favorable one. Just now she thought Ning Fengzhi was very hateful, but now she was grateful to her.
As for Ning Fengyu, he also falls for it, doesn't he?
Ning Fengzhi felt extremely aggrieved, and when she saw her brother calling Gu Xizhi, tears suddenly flowed down her face, and she immediately covered her face and walked out.
As a result, before she had taken a few steps, she heard her brother's unusually cold voice, saying something shocking:
"Miss Gu, does Brother Lu know that you are fickle and have shown me your kindness in every possible way?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Fengzhi turned her head away abruptly, without even wiping the tears from her face.
The pride in Gu Xizhi's eyes suddenly froze. She subconsciously took a step back, her heart in a panic, and said in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Ning...Mr. Ning, what do you mean by this?"
Everyone in the cabinet also widened their eyes.
Ning Fengyu first gave his sister a comforting smile, then turned his head and looked around, and spoke in a calm voice:
"I know that you are all kindhearted and compassionate. Seeing Miss Gu's weakness, you feel pity for her. But why are you all stepping into other people's shoes and forgiving Miss Gu on behalf of my sister?"
"Since you are just a spectator, please stop talking. My sister has been wronged, and I am here today to seek justice, not to listen to your judgment."
Ning Fengyu is the eldest son of Marquis Bowang after all. Although he was speaking impolitely at this moment, everyone came out to have fun, and there was no reason for them to offend Ning Fengyu for Gu Xizhi.
Therefore, even though everyone was unhappy, the scene remained completely silent.
Ning Fengzhi saw that her brother made the decision for her, and the grievances she had just felt surged up. She pursed her lips and cried:
"elder brother!"
She ran back again, crying and grabbing Ning Fengyu's arm, her eyes full of dependence.
Ning Fengyu quickly patted his sister's hand. At this moment, he couldn't help but regret his actions at the beginning. He was no different from the spectator today.
And the harm from those close to us is always more acute and unbearable.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengyu felt even more pity and guilt for his sister, and when he looked at Gu Xizhi, he became even more ruthless.
"Miss Gu, after you apologized just now, you could have just left. Fengzhi is a soft-hearted person and will never embarrass you again."
"But you insisted on doing this on purpose. How is it any different from when you sprained your ankle and fell into my arms?"
"You have such talent and quick thinking, you can accomplish anything you want, but you choose to use it to scheme against others and to show weakness and kindness to men. You are so self-deprecating and shameful!"
"Today, you want to use Fengzhi as a stepping stone so that you can appear in front of people openly in the future, but we brothers and sisters will not be used by you a second time!"
"Now, immediately, apologize to my sister!"
Ning Fengyu raised his voice suddenly. He had always been a gentle person and it was very rare for him to show such a cruel look.
Gu Xizhi was so frightened that she trembled all over and immediately denied: "I didn't!"
She never thought that Ning Fengyu would see through all her thoughts this time.
Obviously, he had been stupid enough to be played around by her before!
"I didn't, Mr. Ning, you misunderstood me. I just sincerely apologized to Feng Zhi, and I was planning to leave."
Gu Xizhi's eyes were red, and as she spoke, she subconsciously turned her head and looked around for help.
But no one present was stupid. After hearing what Ning Fengyu just said, how could they not react?
Recalling their "magnanimous" appearance just now, they quickly lowered their heads and avoided Gu Xizhi's gaze.
Gu Xizhi opened her mouth and for a moment she felt as if she was falling into an icy cave.
At this moment, she even thought that what happened tonight would soon spread in the capital again, and not only Lu Yunzheng, but even that person might hear about it.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi felt panicked and anxious. She suddenly felt dizzy, her whole body swayed, and she almost lost her balance.
But when others saw her like this, they just thought she was pretending to be weak, so naturally no one came to help her.
After Gu Xizhi managed to stand still, her face turned pale and she only wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Ning Fengyu saw Gu Xizhi's intention to leave, but this time he was very tough. He stepped forward and said coldly:
"Miss Gu, apologize to my sister!"
Gu Xizhi closed her eyes, having no other options, and could only tremble as she said:
"Fengzhi, I'm sorry."
After saying this, tears started to flow, not out of shame, but of embarrassment.
The next moment, she could no longer stay there and fled, covering her face.
There was a burst of booing behind her, and Gu Xizhi felt anxious. Her legs went weak and she almost tripped over the threshold.
Fortunately, someone nearby pulled her up in time.
Gu Xizhi thought it was the two maids guarding the door, and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, help me back to the other courtyard."
“No hurry.”
When Gu Xizhi heard the voice, her whole body froze and she looked up in disbelief.
The person next to her half-lifted the mask on her face, revealing a bright face, looking at her with a smile.
Gu Xizhi suddenly felt horrified, and a low cry escaped from her throat:
"Sui Sui!"
Shen Jiasui tilted his head and pulled Gu Xizhi up with such great strength that no one could resist.
She raised her lips and smiled faintly:
"Cherish the branch."
"It's been a while since we last met. Let's catch up."
