After saying that, Song Yan no longer looked at Gu Wanwan's pale, ghost-like face.
He turned around and strode away.
He didn't want to say too much in the past because of our friendship.
Now, he has officially confessed his feelings to Chu Xin'er and they have become boyfriend and girlfriend.
You still need to give your girlfriend a sense of security.
At the same time, Song Yan realized a fact...
Regardless of what Gu Wanwan was like in the past.
Gu Wanwan has completely changed now and can never go back to the past.
Then let's just abandon it completely.
Gu Wanwan stood frozen in place, as if the blood in her body had been frozen.
First Chu Yan, then Song Yan!
Why are all the top men in these books acting like they're under a spell, revolving around Ye Nian'an and Chu Xin'er?
Do they possess sorcery?!
No! I don't believe it!
Gu Wanwan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with resentment.
I am the protagonist of this world! You NPCs are all just stepping stones for me!
Ye Nian'an, Chu Xin'er, you just wait!
Everything I've lost, I will one day take back from you with interest!
Seeing this, He Yue'er's expression became extremely awkward.
She glanced cautiously at Song Hailiang, whose expression remained unchanged, and tried to smooth things over with a forced laugh.
"Brother Hailiang, this child... Xin'er is indeed outstanding, our Wanwan can't compare."
She still harbored a sliver of hope.
If Wanwan could be with Song Yan, the Gu family would not only be able to overcome their current difficulties, but would also be able to regain their former glory.
But now it seems that this was nothing but wishful thinking.
Upon hearing this, Song Hailiang not only failed to offer any comfort, but instead burst into laughter, his voice loud and clear, devoid of any feigned politeness.
"Tianyou's wife, what you said really resonated with me! Our rascal has finally caught up in the good times!"
He patted his thigh, his face full of approval and affection for his future daughter-in-law.
“I’ve watched Xin’er grow up since she was a child. She’s resilient, kind, and has her own opinions. Song Yan is lucky to be her match!”
"Now I'm really looking forward to it, hoping that Song Yan can marry this wonderful wife soon! We old folks can finally hold our grandson in our arms!"
Every word of these words was like a resounding slap across Gu Wanwan and He Yue'er's faces, leaving them stinging with pain.
What does "Song Yan is climbing the social ladder" mean? Is this a veiled insult implying that Gu Wanwan is unworthy of Song Yan, not even as good as Chu Xin'er's toes?!
Gu Wanwan was so angry that she trembled all over, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
Yet she maintained that fragile, precarious appearance, tears welling in her eyes as if they were about to fall.
"Yes... Uncle Song, Sister Xin'er is so kind. I'm so happy for Brother Song Yan and Sister Xin'er..."
He Yue'er couldn't stay any longer. With a stiff smile, she hurriedly said goodbye and dragged Gu Wanwan away from the Song family in a disheveled state.
As she sat in the car on her way home, Gu Wanwan looked out the window at the rapidly receding street scene, her eyes brimming with resentment and unwillingness.
"Mom, don't cry."
Gu Wanwan suddenly spoke coldly: "If the Song family path is blocked, we'll try another one! There's more than just Song Yan in Haicheng!"
Yes, the world's top men include Chu Yan and Xu Yao!
Although Chu Yan is already married and has children, so what?
If you swing your hoe well, no corner is too hard to dig down!
What else does Ye Nian'an have besides being pretty and being able to have children?
How can an antique NPC from the last century occupy such an outstanding man?
As long as this modern-day transmigrator uses a little trick to make Chu Yan see Ye Nian'an's true colors, and then shows her uniqueness and advanced ideas from the 21st century...
She didn't believe that Chu Yan wouldn't be tempted!
Just as Gu Wanwan was immersed in her vicious fantasy, a sharp shout and chaotic chasing sound suddenly came from in front of the car!
"Stop right there! Gu Ruijie! You little brat, you dare to run away!"
"You owe me money and won't pay it back, I'm going to chop off your hand today!"
Several thugs, carrying sticks and machetes, were chasing after a figure who was running away with his head in his hands.
That figure was none other than Gu Ruijie, the good-for-nothing third young master of the Gu family!
"Ruijie!"
Upon hearing her son's name, He Yue'er looked up abruptly, as if pricked by a needle.
When she saw the figure being chased and looked disheveled, she let out a shrill scream and rushed out of the car without thinking!
"Stop! You are not allowed to touch my son!"
He Yue'er, like a mad lioness, spread her arms wide and fiercely protected Gu Ruijie.
The man chasing him was startled by this sudden turn of events, but he quickly recovered and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, so the main guy's broke, but his mom's come to his door?"
The scarred man at the head of the group weighed the watermelon knife in his hand: "Old woman, if you know what's good for you, hand over the money now! Otherwise, neither you nor your son will leave here today!"
"I...I'll pay! I'll pay!"
He Yue'er was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she shakily took out the thousand yuan she had just taken from the Song family from her pocket.
"That's all?"
Scarface snatched the money and spat it out in disgust.
"Are you trying to fob me off? Your son owes our casino a whopping eight thousand dollars! This little bit of money isn't even enough to cover the interest!"
As he spoke, his patience wore thin, and he raised the watermelon knife to chop at Gu Ruijie!
"don't want!"
He Yue'er screamed and rushed forward without thinking, shielding her son with her own body.
"Pfft—"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was dull yet clear.
Crimson blood instantly stained He Yue'er's back and also stained Gu Ruijie's terrified eyes.
"ah!"
Gu Wanwan got out of the car and, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but cover her face and scream.
More and more people were drawn in and looked over.
The people at the casino were also taken aback by this turn of events.
They just wanted to scare people out of money, but they never thought it would actually lead to someone's death!
"Damn it! What bad luck!"
Scarface cursed, knowing that staying any longer would surely lead to trouble, and quickly led his men away.
Before leaving, he threw out a harsh threat: "Three days! If you don't pay back the money within three days, next time I'll chop up your whole family!"
Haicheng Second People's Hospital.
The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air, and the stark white lights made everyone's faces appear bloodless.
He Yue'er lay on the hospital bed, the wound on her back had been treated.
Fortunately, the cut was not deep and did not hit any vital organs, but the excessive blood loss made her as weak as a sheet of paper.
When Gu Chen arrived after receiving the news, there was no worry on his face; he still had that icy expression.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses falling on Gu Ruijie, who was huddled in the corner, trembling all over.
"Stand up."
