The atmosphere in the room was like a lake that suddenly froze, falling into a cold and dead silence.
The next time the voice rang out, it was Gu Yanze who asked in disbelief, "Yan Yan, you want to break off the engagement with me? How is that possible!"
Subconsciously, he always believed that even if the two of them did not get married, he should be the one to propose to cancel the engagement.
Those who are favored are always fearless.
Su Yanxi curved her eyebrows, the smile on her face was as calm as water, and her voice was sweet and extremely firm.
"Gu Yanze, I'm not being reckless, nor am I playing hard to get to get your attention. I've thought this through carefully, and I truly want to break off the engagement with you."
Boom—it started raining heavily in Gu Yanze’s heart.
Su Yanxi looked up at the disbelief in his eyes and asked, "Breaking off the engagement with me, isn't that what you always wanted?"
Indeed.
He always treated her as his sister and didn't want to be tied into marriage with her too early, nor did he want to lose his freedom to be a playboy.
Now he has got what he wanted, but why can't he be happy?
Ni Yuchang held Su Yanxi's hands with both hands: "Yanyan, it's because of Bai Nuannuan, right? Those news on the Internet are all fake, all hyped up by Bai Nuannuan. How can Bai Nuannuan compare to you? Auntie only likes you, and Auntie only wants you to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family."
Gu Yuanzhou stepped forward and said, "Yanyan, I don't want to make any excuses for Gu Yanze. He did do something wrong to you before. As his father, I apologize to you on his behalf."
He continued, "Yanyan, you should also know that Yanze's love for you is genuine. When you were fifteen years old and were chased and bitten by a wolfhound, Gu Yanze held you tightly in his arms. He would rather his calf be bitten through by the wolfhound's teeth than let you suffer the slightest harm."
It’s true, it’s all true. Gu Yanze really loves her, and she knows it in her heart.
So when Gu Yanze told her that he didn't want to marry her and wanted to have an open relationship with her and have their own ways, she couldn't get over it for a while and was unwilling to let go, hoping that one day he would change his mind.
The deal with Fu Linchen might have been forced, but today at the dinner table Gu Yanze once again said that he didn't want to marry her, and the little bit of reluctance that Su Yanxi had deep in her heart completely disappeared.
She didn't want him anymore, not at all.
Why would she let herself be in a humble position of waiting?
She wants to be happy.
Su Yanxi pulled her hands out of Ni Yuchang's hands, looked at Gu Nanchu, Gu Yuanzhou and Ni Yuchang, and there was no room for turning back in her words.
"Grandpa, uncle, aunt, I really don't want to marry Gu Yanze anymore. Whether you agree or not, I will break off the engagement with Gu Yanze."
Breaking off an engagement is not like divorce, it does not require legal stamp of approval. She has already made up her mind to leave, and she just came to inform them, not to seek their consent.
The frozen atmosphere was broken by a slap, and Gu Nanchu's hand slapped Gu Yanze hard in the face.
"Look at what you've done! You bastard, kneel down before Yanyan!"
Before Gu Yanze even knelt on the ground, Old Man Gu became so angry that his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.
The Gu family was in chaos.
Mr. Gu was pushed into the emergency room with an oxygen mask on his face and tubes inserted into his body.
Members of the Gu family arrived one after another, surrounding Gu Nanchu, worrying, anxious, and taking care of Gu Nanchu.
Every time a new person comes, they always ask: "Who made the old man so angry?"
Ni Yuchang's eyes will look at Su Yanxi.
Su Yanxi became a sinner.
She was pointed at and talked about by others, who talked about her behind her back, saying she was ungrateful and ungrateful, which made her grandfather who raised her so angry that he had to be hospitalized.
Su Yanxi seemed to be in a desolate wilderness, with howling winds all around her. She was the only one within a ten-mile radius, with no one behind her and no one to rely on.
Old Master Gu was surrounded by the Gu family and medical staff and did not need her care. The Gu family also did not want to see her, the culprit who had angered the old man to the point of being hospitalized.
Su Yanxi came out of the ward and walked to the hospital entrance like a lonely ghost. When she stepped down the stairs, her whole body felt as light and rootless as catkins in the wind, and she fell to the ground powerlessly.
She fell into a warm and strong embrace, and the familiar sharp scent of cedar enveloped her whole body.
Su Yanxi leaned on Fu Linchen's chest and looked at him with red eyes: "Brother Linchen, take me away?"
Fu Linchen held her and strode into the night: "Okay."
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, he sat on the seat and she sat on his lap.
Fu Linchen looked at her pale face, his smooth and distinct profile pressed against her forehead.
"Are you sad because you broke off the engagement with Gu Yanze?"
Su Yanxi: "No, I feel sad because I hurt my grandfather who raised me since I was a child."
Fu Linchen's voice was as deep as a towering green mountain in the fog, and his powerful words reached deep into one's soul: "Su Yanxi, there may be many people you care about in this world, but life is only a few decades long. The one you love most will always be yourself. Don't sacrifice yourself for anyone else."
His thin red lips brushed across her forehead, and he said to her gently, "If you're tired, just lie in my arms and take a nap. Baby, I'll always be by your side."
The Rolls-Royce drove out of the hospital. Its bright headlights split the thick fog into two lanes. The car sped past and then disappeared into the vast fog.
When Gu Yanze ran from the ward to the hospital entrance, he saw nothing but thick white fog.
He took out his cell phone and called Su Yanxi. No one answered the first time, the second time, the sixth time, but he kept calling.
At this moment, he was in a state of confusion, as if a piece of his heart had been cut out, and he felt pain and panic.
