Chapter 42
"I shouldn't have abandoned our relationship to go abroad for further studies. I shouldn't have acted so foolishly. I shouldn't have tested your boundaries."
"Zhi Nian, I was really wrong. I should have listened to my mother and been good to you." Yang Qingjun almost believed what Ji Anyi said!
Shi Wan was eating cherries brought by the servant while watching the performance of Ji Anyi and her son with relish. Yang Qingjun came over when she saw Shi Wan eating so happily. The two of them took turns eating one, not taking this matter to heart at all. Gu Zhinian rubbed his eyebrows.
"Zhi Nian, you see, Anyi has realized his mistake. You have been together for so many years, how can you bear to make Anyi sad! Please forgive Anyi, he just loves you too much." Luo Ruyan said earnestly, as if Gu Zhinian had let Ji Anyi down.
"Luo Ruyan, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of relationship does Zhinian have with your son? Apart from the time when you brought your son to be the piano teacher, they have no connection at all. How can they have any relationship when they were only seven years old? How dare you say such things?" Yang Qingjun almost threw the cherries in her hand at Luo Ruyan's face.
"Qingjun, we were clearly engaged as children back then, and you said you liked Anyi. Why are you acting like this now? Anyi has always treated you like his own mother, so why are you saying these things to hurt his feelings?"
"When did I say that! Don't slander me!" Yang Qingjun panicked and wanted to stuff Gu Zhinian and Shi Wan into his mind to prove his innocence.
"When you said that back then, I rejected it directly! When I said I liked our son, it was just a polite remark. I can't dislike your son in front of you!" Yang Qingjun felt that she was shooting herself in the foot now. What if Shi Wan misunderstood and didn't want her son anymore?
Yang Qingjun: The sky is falling!!!
He Yujiao & He Yushu & He's mother: !!!
Gu Zhinian took the cherries from Shi Wan's hand and said, "You won't be able to eat lunch soon."
"Oh." Shi Wan reluctantly let go and smacked his lips.
"Be obedient." Gu Zhinian said lovingly and wiped Shi Wan's hands with a wet towel.
"Gu Zhinian--" Seeing that Gu Zhinian was so cold, Ji Anyi yelled hysterically, his voice breaking, and scared Shi Wan.
"Shut up." Gu Zhinian shouted at Ji Anyi coldly with a stern look in his eyes. Ji Anyi and Luo Ruyan both stopped talking instantly.
"Does your ears hurt?" Gu Zhinian gently covered Shi Wan's ears with his hands, his tone soft and a little worried.
Shi Wan shook her head. Her ears didn't hurt, but her heart was beating a little faster. Gu Zhinian took the opportunity to put his arm around Shi Wan's waist and pulled her into his arms.
"What illusion made me give you the illusion that I had feelings for you?" Gu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't remember having any connection with you."
"Zhou Cheng, do you remember?"
Zhou Cheng, who was watching the excitement from the side, was suddenly called out. He immediately stood at attention and shook his head: "No! I don't remember!"
"Nonsense! How can you distort the facts like this! How could you! He Yushu also knows it! Gu Zhinian, you can't say that just to humiliate me!" Ji Anyi raised his neck and straightened his back, like a mighty and unyielding bamboo.
He Yushu: !!!!!!!!!
He Yujiao was so disappointed with He Yushu that she slapped him on the back of the head, causing him to stagger. He's mother was both distressed and anxious. How could her son be implicated at this moment?
"I, I, I... I don't know! Ji Anyi said it herself!" He Yushu's hand was shaking, leaving afterimages.
"Oh, then tell me what I have done." There was sarcasm in Gu Zhinian's eyes, and his glasses were filled with a chilling coldness.
"Didn't you go back to participate in the basketball game when you were in the first year of high school because you heard others bullying me?" Ji Anyi roared. At that time, he was bullied by his father's first wife's nephew. The nephew said that he knew Gu Zhinian. The man said that if he had the guts, he could let Gu Zhinian come to compete on the basketball court. Ji Anyi agreed. When he was preparing to find an opportunity to contact Gu Zhinian, Gu Zhinian participated in the basketball game.
He defeated those people with a great victory and taught them a severe lesson. They no longer dared to cause trouble for him.
"Uh... that game was because Mr. Xuan kept pestering you, constantly showing up and nagging you. You had no choice but to participate." Zhou Cheng's mouth twitched. He had no idea there was such a thing going on. "You don't know anything about this. Well, if you knew, you wouldn't have to participate in the basketball game. You could have just been expelled for school bullying."
Ji Anyi's face turned pale and he was about to collapse.
He Yushu's face was also very ugly. This was completely different from what Ji Anyi had told him!
"Then why do you go to the piano room every day when I go there? No matter when I change places, you follow me. If it wasn't intentional, how could it be such a coincidence? Gu Zhinian, stop quibbling!" Ji Anyi looked at Gu Zhinian hysterically, as if to say, what excuse are you making this time.
"Uh, was it the second semester of my senior year? Every time I go to the piano room, I always run into someone in the room next door. They always play soft music and always hit the wrong notes... But I don't even notice and I don't close the window... I've changed the time of day several times to avoid you, but I always run into you..." Zhou Cheng was speechless. He even thought there was some kind of bug installed next to him! How could it be such a coincidence!
As a result, after so many years, people still think they did it on purpose!
Zhou Cheng observed a two-second silence for himself who was so worried back then!
"How could it be? You're lying! You're lying!" Ji Anyi's face flushed red, like a rooster with its neck pinched. He only had these few words to say back and forth, "You'd say anything to please Shi Wan. What benefit did he give you?"
"Huh?!" Shi Wan, who was suddenly called out while watching a play, looked back at Ji Anyi calmly, "It has nothing to do with me."
Ji Anyi's claims that he thought Gu Zhinian was secretly taking care of him were all misunderstandings and blunders. Zhou Cheng refuted each of his claims with solid evidence and even said that he could contact Gu Zhinian's classmates to testify!
The more He Yushu talked about this, the more he felt like a fool. Come to think of it, with the Gu family's background, why would they secretly take care of each other? If the two of them were in love, why didn't they say it openly? He had never thought about these things before, and he believed it just because Ji Anyi said it in his ear.
"Auntie Lin, send them out." Gu Zhinian looked at the time. It was time for dinner. Ji Anyi sat on the ground with a dull look in his eyes. Luo Ruyan was anxious but couldn't help. When she heard that Gu Zhinian wanted to kick them out, she immediately looked at Yang Qingjun.
"Qingjun Anyi is the child you watched grow up, you..."
"Don't...don't...I didn't see him grow up!" Yang Qingjun quickly distanced herself from the matter. "I haven't seen him since he was eight years old!"
"You--" Luo Ruyan's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and helped Ji Anyi up from the ground and walked out. He Yushu wanted to hide on the ceiling to avoid the mother and son!
Don’t let him and his sister get into trouble again!
Seeing that He Yushu was avoiding them as if they were the plague, Luo Ruyan glared at He Yushu and the other two fiercely.
