Chapter 18 Don't mention him to me
Su Heng reached out as if to grab Gu Yuanyuan's collar, but Gu Yuanyuan suddenly gripped his wrist tightly.
His eyes hardened, and he flung Su Hengyi's hand away.
He stood up and looked Su Hengyi in the eye. "You've come to cause trouble for me again because of Mu Guangcheng. How many times has this happened? How many times have you caused me trouble because of him!"
"You've gone too far."
"I'm being unreasonable? You married me, but you were thinking about someone else! And you even renovated that house, living there when you weren't home. You're the one being unreasonable!"
Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were red, his chest was heaving violently, and his emotions were fluctuating greatly.
His voice cracked slightly, revealing his anger.
Su Hengyi's eyes were so cold. "I told you when we got married that I wouldn't give you my feelings. You wanted me to be faithful to the marriage, but I never made that promise to you from the beginning."
Gu Yuanyuan seemed unwilling to dwell on this matter. He sat back in his chair, looking somewhat lazy and roguish.
With her legs crossed, she looked up at Su Hengyi, who always dressed impeccably and buttoned his shirts neatly.
His seemingly cynical voice said, "You came to see me all by yourself. What's wrong? Are you out of money and have come to beg me? Or do you think you're so tough that you can take on all my bodyguards by yourself?"
"I can give you anything except feelings, including power and wealth. Take it if you like."
Gu Yuanyuan scoffed, "Oh, really? I've already brought them all. So, you see, standing here now, you can no longer act superior to me, because if you say anything that upsets me, I'll have someone beat you up."
“I’m not as naive as you. With Mu Guangcheng, home is home. I’m here to ask you to take back that wedding ring, which is my mother’s ring.”
Their wedding rings were prepared by Grandpa Su. He melted down Su Hengyi's parents' wedding rings and made new ones, which can be considered a way of passing on love.
Because Su Hengyi's parents love each other very much, Grandpa Su also hopes that he and Gu Yuanyuan can marry first and then fall in love, and grow old together.
The rings have a very auspicious meaning and are of great significance to Su Hengyi.
"See, your words have made me unhappy."
Gu Yuanyuan looked at the bodyguard with an extremely cold gaze and ordered in a cold voice, "Make your move."
The bodyguard hesitated at first, but finally walked over to Su Hengyi and said, "Young Master Su, please forgive me."
They are now Gu Yuanyuan's people, so of course they only listen to Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Yuanyuan sat in the chair, gently turning the wedding ring on his ring finger as he watched Su Hengyi, who was ruthlessly fighting with the bodyguard.
"What do you need this ring for? Are you planning to give it to Mu Guangcheng as a wedding ring?"
"What you wore didn't deserve him. I'm just taking back what I had."
Gu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, and after a long pause, she practically squeezed out the words, "All of you, attack! Beat them to death! I'm watching. Anyone who dares to hold back will be fired! They'll never be hired by the bodyguard system again! I'll make sure you bunch of trash can't even find another job. Beat them!"
The Su family's bodyguards were all highly trained and selected through multiple rounds of screening. Su Hengyi was quickly pinned to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
Seeing Su Hengyi like this, Gu Yuanyuan felt a pang of heartache.
"Enough!"
Gu Yuanyuan's slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of hysteria, "Stop!"
He walked up to Su Hengyi, squatted down, grabbed Su Hengyi's hair, and lifted Su Hengyi's face up.
Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were as cold as ice. "Look at yourself now. For Mu Guangcheng, you're asking me to trample you under my feet. Admit it, Su Hengyi, without the Su family, you have no chance against me. Shouldn't I be the one being trampled underfoot and looked down upon? How did it become you? Huh?!"
Su Hengyi covered Gu Yuanyuan's wrist, and with a force he didn't know he had, he twisted Gu Yuanyuan's hand backward violently.
His fingers reached out to pull the ring off Gu Yuanyuan's ring finger.
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to realize what Su Hengyi was about to do, and he reached out to stop him, but it was too late.
The ring had already been quickly removed by Su Hengyi.
Gu Yuanyuan's expression changed drastically. "Give it back to me!"
You are not good enough for her.
Su Heng stood up from the ground, took what he wanted, and turned to leave.
Gu Yuanyuan rushed over and grabbed his wrist. "Aren't you afraid I'll have someone beat you to death? It's just a ring. Why didn't you even leave me a ring? Do you really want to deny that we were ever married and together?"
Su Hengyi's voice was ruthless, "Not only that, I want to erase all traces of our two years together, and I don't even want to know you."
Gu Yuanyuan looked at Su Hengyi in shock and hurt, "Am I really that worthless?"
"You are far inferior to him."
"Am I not cleaner than him? Do I need to remind you? Mu Guangcheng, he—"
Before Gu Yuanyuan could finish speaking, Su Hengyi interrupted her, saying each word with a sharp, hurtful edge, "So what? I just love him."
Su Hengyi tried to pry open Gu Yuanyuan's fingers that were gripping his wrist, and Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief.
"No, that's not how it is! Brother Su, we shouldn't be like this."
Gu Yuanyuan gripped Su Hengyi's wrist so tightly that tears streamed down his red-rimmed eyes. At that moment, he resembled a pet cat being threatened by its owner to be abandoned, feeling helpless and terrified.
It's said that cats that have been abandoned are the most well-behaved.
Gu Yuanyuan had been abandoned countless times before, and now he was facing being discarded once again.
He struggled desperately, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, and of course he wouldn't let go no matter what.
He was so strong that he gripped Su Hengyi's wrist until it turned red. He then reached out with his other hand and grabbed the hand that Su Hengyi was using to pry his fingers open.
"Brother Su, look at me, look at me."
Su Hengyi didn't look up at Gu Yuanyuan. He was focused on getting Gu Yuanyuan's hand away so he could leave this madman as soon as possible. His eyes were full of impatience. "Can you please stop bothering me? Let go, Gu Yuanyuan."
"No, I won't let go. If I let go, you'll leave. You're going to leave with Mu Guangcheng, but I want you to stay, Brother Su. Even if you only come to see me for a few days each month, please, don't just leave me like this."
With Su Hengyi's strength growing stronger.
Gu Yuanyuan immediately let go and then hugged Su Hengyi tightly, burying his entire body in Su Hengyi's embrace.
His eyes were red-rimmed.
He missed the scent of this person; he had missed it for a long time. They were people he didn't want to be apart from for even a second or a minute, yet they had been separated for almost two months.
Gu Yuanyuan almost greedily inhaled the scent of Su Hengyi's embrace. The dignity he had painstakingly erected seemed to crumble at this moment, even though he knew the answer was no.
But like a stubborn little child, she asked him, "Sometimes I wonder, if Mu Guangcheng died, would you be able to stay with me?"
Su Hengyi suddenly grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's chin forcefully and pushed her backward.
Then, his eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Gu Yuanyuan, "Don't even think about it. If Mu Guangcheng dies, I'll die with him. Gu Yuanyuan, you'll get nothing, so don't even dream of getting anything."
His warning, word by word, was filled with danger, as if Gu Yuanyuan really dared to plot to kill Mu Guangcheng, and Su Hengyi really dared to commit suicide for love.
Looking at Su Hengyi like this, Gu Yuanyuan felt the care and affection in his eyes once again like a sharp sword, piercing through Gu Yuanyuan's eyes and then stabbing all the way into his heart.
Su Hengyi forcefully pushed Gu Yuanyuan away, clutching the reclaimed ring in his palm, and left.
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to have no ability to resist. He was pushed backward and fell to the ground.
Gu Yuanyuan braced himself against the floor with his hands, and the bodyguard came over to help him.
"roll."
Gu Yuanyuan's words were devoid of emotion; one could not discern any joy or anger in them.
It's probably because Su Hengyi has treated Gu Yuanyuan so badly that the bodyguards, having witnessed it for so long, have started to feel a little sorry for her.
It was as if Gu Yuanyuan was being pushed away by Su Hengyi when she lunged at him; this was a common occurrence in this house.
Every time, Gu Yuanyuan would bravely get up and fight again, but this time, Gu Yuanyuan fell to the ground, and it seemed that he could not get up no matter what, as if he had lost the courage to stand up.
Su Hengyi's words echoed in my ears again.
"No"
"It's just charity."
"You are far inferior to him."
I don't love you.
"So what? I still love him."
"If Mu Guangcheng dies, I will die with him."
Gu Yuanyuan's ears were filled with a deafening roar. He seemed unable to hear any other sounds except for these words, each one so piercingly painful, yet he listened to them again and again.
There's no escaping it, no way to avoid it.
"ah----"
Gu Yuanyuan covered his ears with his hands, let out a scream as if in extreme pain, and then curled up into a ball, trying to minimize his presence.
Tears fell one after another onto the dry, dusty cobblestone road.
Gu Yuanyuan covered his ears, not knowing if he really didn't have time, and just sat there.
Until Zhou He came to find him.
Guided by his bodyguard, Zhou He arrived and saw Gu Yuanyuan from afar, looking as if she were in extreme pain, curled up in a ball and trembling.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, he was shivering.
Just how cold is their heart?
Zhou He walked over quickly and first saw Gu Yuanyuan's swollen ring finger with a long scab and bloodstain.
Because it stung his eyes, Zhou He remembered very clearly that there was a ring there.
It's gone now; judging from the marks, it was torn off forcefully.
Zhou He stood in front of Gu Yuanyuan, his tone tinged with disappointment, "Su Hengyi came again? Every time he comes, you end up covered in injuries!"
Gu Yuanyuan covered her ears, "No—"
"What?"
Gu Yuanyuan's voice was filled with despair and hysterical outbursts as she cried, "Don't mention him to me! Never mention him to me again!"
