Chapter 16 You Know I Don't Love Him
Gu Yuanyuan smashed the object several more times before finally stopping. Zhou He hugged him tightly, his eyes filled with heartache for Gu Yuanyuan.
"Brother Yuan, it's alright, I'm here, I'm here."
Even if no one in this world loves Gu Yuanyuan anymore, he will still love her, and be the last person to love her.
If the whole world doesn't love Gu Yuanyuan, then he doesn't love the whole world.
Gu Yuanyuan leaned on Zhou He's shoulder, his eyes were dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Much later, Gu Yuanyuan stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and calmly said to Zhou He, "Bring the first-aid kit."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Zhou He knew, of course, that Gu Yuanyuan was afraid of pain, so he quickly brought over the first-aid kit and applied medicine to Gu Yuanyuan's wound.
Gu Yuanyuan's fingers would tremble slightly from the pain, but he didn't utter a sound.
He used to scream like a pig being slaughtered over even a small wound, but now he has learned to endure the pain.
People always get hurt, but they gradually get used to it.
With a heavy heart, Zhou He carefully wrapped Gu Yuanyuan's face with bandages, not mentioning Mu Guangcheng and Su Hengyi again, as he didn't want to further upset the fragile Gu Yuanyuan.
After Mu Guangcheng's visit, Gu Yuanyuan suddenly became quiet for a while.
Then he went to the Su family's old house and found Old Master Su.
He recounted the whole story, then told Old Master Su, "As long as Mu Yang is alive, with Mu Guangcheng's encouragement, Su Hengyi will continue to risk his life for Mu Guangcheng. If he continues to be with Mu Guangcheng, he will be killed by Mu Guangcheng sooner or later. Mu Guangcheng killed him once back then, and I saved him. Now he's using that to threaten me into divorcing him. The only one who can't bear to see him suffer and die is me. As long as I'm alive, Su Hengyi's life belongs to me. I will not allow him to marry Mu Guangcheng."
When Grandpa Su heard this, he was also very angry. In his heart, he disliked Mu Guangcheng extremely.
If Su Hengyi hadn't chased Mu Guangcheng to Country A back then, none of those things would have happened. Su Hengyi's life was saved by Gu Yuanyuan, who risked her life to save him.
These are all things that Grandpa Su witnessed with his own eyes.
He called Su Hengyi back that very night.
As soon as he entered the door, he made him kneel down. He beat Su Hengyi up first, and then scolded him, "As long as I live, I will not allow you to marry Mu Guangcheng. If you have any conscience, then remarry Yuanyuan! How many more years do I have left to live? Can't you let me live a little more comfortably these next few years?"
Su Heng knelt on the floor, his back aching from the beating, but he remained calm throughout.
Gu Yuanyuan sat on the sofa with an indifferent expression. From the moment Su Heng entered the room until now, he had been a bystander. Although he was also one of the parties involved, he did not speak, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Su Hengyi wants to be with Mu Guangcheng? Dream on!
Grandpa Su spoke earnestly, pointing at Su Hengyi, "You can't betray Yuanyuan. The Gu family entrusted their child to us, not so you could treat him like this. I've heard a lot about the state you've ruined him over the past two years. You can't be so irresponsible. There are many things in life that you can't have. If you miss them, you should miss them. You and Mu Guangcheng are not suitable. He killed you once. Do you want him to kill you a second time?"
Su Heng looked up at Old Master Su and said, "Guangcheng has never harmed me. He is a good person. I want to marry him."
"You still say he didn't harm you? Have you forgotten all the suffering you endured back then, all the surgeries you had to undergo to survive?! If I hadn't gone to save you from afar, you would be a corpse now! Do you expect me, an old man with white hair, to have to send off a young person with black hair?!"
"Guangcheng also traded his life for mine."
"Smack—"
Grandpa Su slapped Su Heng hard across the face. “If you hadn’t gone abroad with Mu Guangcheng, none of this would have happened. In the end, it’s all because of him that you’ve been ruined. You’ve been bewitched. Yuanyuan is such a good kid, and you’re going to divorce him and go find someone who’s slept with other men. How disgusting are you?”
Su Hengyi scoffed, "No one can stop me from being with Mu Guangcheng. I want to marry him and have a home with him. I'm not disgusting at all. On the contrary, the person who stirs up trouble in front of you is the one with ulterior motives."
Su Hengyi turned his gaze and looked coldly at Gu Yuanyuan, who had remained silent on the sofa the whole time.
Gu Yuanyuan held an apple in his hand. He didn't turn his head to look at Su Hengyi, as if he was completely unaware of the gaze.
"You—if you want to be with Mu Guangcheng, then don't ever set foot in my Su family again!"
Grandpa Su seemed extremely angry, his finger trembling as he pointed at Su Hengyi, his aged voice filled with rage.
Su Hengyi stood up from the ground. "Fine, from today onwards, I have nothing to do with the Su family. I will come back whenever Grandpa has thought things through and can accept Mu Guangcheng."
"Get out! Get out of here!"
"Please don't be angry, Mr. Wang. Call the family doctor over."
Su Heng left as soon as he finished speaking.
Grandpa Su sat on the sofa, clutching his heart, and said angrily, "I'm so angry, so angry!"
Gu Yuanyuan walked over and grabbed Old Master Su's aged hand. "Don't be angry. It wasn't my intention to anger you. Brother Su just hasn't figured out the situation yet. If he wants to leave the Su family, let him leave. That way, he won't have the power to continue interfering in Mu Yang's case, and he won't be in so much danger. I'll send a few bodyguards to keep an eye on him. As for the company, I'll handle that."
Grandpa Su held Gu Yuanyuan's hand. "Child, to be honest, I've long since come to regard you as another grandson. If Hengyi continues to be stubborn, the only thing I can do to compensate you is the Su family. If you want it, take it. Both are my flesh and blood. Hengyi is too old to listen to reason, and Grandpa can't do anything about it."
“I know, Grandpa, I know everything. I don’t want the Su family, I just want Brother Su to come back.”
"Do whatever you want, I really can't control it anymore. But don't worry, no matter whether you and Hengyi end up together or not, I will never acknowledge Mu Guangcheng."
"Grandpa, you're so kind. Even my grandpa never loved me like this..."
Gu Yuanyuan lowered her eyes, her eyes red-rimmed.
Grandpa Su gently hugged him and patted his back. "If your grandfather knew how much you've suffered, he'd be ready to fight me to the death."
......
When Su Heng returned home, Mu Guangcheng was sitting lazily on the sofa watching TV.
Su Hengyi sat next to Mu Guangcheng, watching a variety show on TV. He found it noisy and wondered what the group of people were laughing about.
Mu Guangcheng turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong after you went home?"
"I am no longer the young master of the Su family."
"Um?"
"I have no money."
"Um??"
Su Heng looked up at Mu Guangcheng and asked, "Will you take care of me?"
Mu Guangcheng: "..."
Su Hengyi's brief words were truly difficult for most people to understand, but fortunately, Mu Guangcheng had known Su Hengyi for so many years.
He spoke for him directly, saying, "You were kicked out of your family? They're cutting ties with you? They've frozen your assets, you're broke, your pockets are emptier than your face, aren't they?"
Looking at Mu Guangcheng's expressive face, Su Hengyi felt as if he had returned to many years ago, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
Then he nodded, "Mm."
Mu Guangcheng, holding the remote control, changed the channel as he said, "Gu Yuanyuan did it, didn't she?"
Su Hengyi remained silent.
Mu Guangcheng paused for a moment while changing the channel before saying, "You young masters seem to have a very high starting point in life, but you are also easily threatened in terms of assets. It's better for someone like me to start from scratch. All the money is my own, and no one can threaten me."
Mu Guangcheng paused for a moment before saying, "Alright then, I'll reluctantly feed you. You don't eat much, do you?"
Su Hengyi smiled, "Not much, it could be even less."
"That's good. If you eat too much, I might not be able to afford to feed you."
Mu Guangcheng chuckled softly, then, as if remembering something, asked, "What about Mu Yang's matter?"
Su Hengyi then became serious, "The Su family can't do without me. Even if they make a scene for a while, they'll still have to ask me to come back. We'll deal with it then."
"So you were just saying you'd support me without actually doing it?"
Su Hengyi suddenly leaned closer to Mu Guangcheng and said, "A person will starve to death if they don't eat for a few days."
Mu Guangcheng leaned back and placed the remote control on the table. "So?"
Su Hengyi pressed Mu Guangcheng's shoulder down onto the sofa, his dark eyes fixed on him. "I can exchange my labor for it."
Mu Guangcheng tilted his head and laughed without a care in the world.
After laughing for a while, he met Su Hengyi's serious gaze again and said, "So you eat and drink my food, and then you want to take advantage of me for nothing?"
Su Heng didn't speak; he lowered his head and started to unbutton Mu Guangcheng's shirt.
Mu Guangcheng grabbed his wrist and looked at him, "Your family doesn't approve of us being together, does they?"
"Don't worry about it."
Mu Guangcheng pushed Su Hengyi away and sat up. "But why? It seems that after two years apart, many things have changed. I will always be the latter to Gu Yuanyuan. I am not as good as you and him, taking wedding photos and having weddings all over the world, announcing to the whole world that you are married."
Mu Guangcheng didn't look at Su Hengyi; his voice sounded somewhat forlorn.
Su Hengyi looked at Mu Guangcheng and took his hand. "I don't love Gu Yuanyuan."
Mu Guangcheng suddenly looked at Su Hengyi, "But you've given Gu Yuanyuan too much pampering! You took him all over the world to take wedding photos, you shared a bed with him, you gave him a wedding ring. In Country A, I saw you and him kissing under the fireworks, you wrote notes to forget me, fall in love with Gu Yuanyuan and start over with him! He fed you candy, and you opened your mouth. You always put on a cold front, but you did everything that Gu Yuanyuan and you would do as lovers. Su Hengyi, have you really never had feelings for Gu Yuanyuan? Sometimes I really wonder if we've missed our chance."
"What note?"
Su Hengyi grasped a key point.
