n“No… No…” Chen Jian wanted to deny it. But when he looked at Su Wan on the other side, and then at the woman beside him, he abruptly changed his mind and said unyieldingly, “Why? I was the one who spread those rumors. Besides, isn’t what I said, the truth? What I said is the exact truth. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to say it?”

nWhy?

nHa.

nGu Jingyu walked towards him step by step. His pressing gaze was like a sharp knife that would coldly cut a bloody gash.

nHis fatal gaze instantly made Chen Jian’s face fall completely. The woman beside him, who had just been behaving arrogantly, also followed suit and went dead silent. Her mouth was half-open as she looked at Gu Jingyu.

nHow terrifying…

nGu Jingyu asked, “Do you need me to explain why?”

nDid they need him to?

nAlthough it was a question, it was a rhetorical one.

nWhy? Just because he was Gu Jingyu.

nIt was not allowed if he did not allow it. Whether or not it was the truth.

nIf he prohibited it, they were not allowed to spread those rumors.

nBut Chen Jian even dared to ask why?

nGu Jingyu scoffed and looked at Chen Jian. “That’s right. You’re right. The rumors aren’t false either. Su Wan is my woman. So what? If I say you’re not allowed to spread rumors, then you can’t. No one has the right to comment on matters involving me and my woman.”

nGu Jingyu looked at him. “Haha. Are you angry because she didn’t choose you? I’m going to ask you here. Who would she choose between me and you? Do you think you can compete with me? Obviously, she would definitely choose me. But you, you’re just a pest. Yet you dare to covet my woman, and you even dare to go around spreading bad rumors about her.”

nChen Jian’s face looked as if he had just been viciously hit.

nRight now, his expression looked so terrible that it could not get any worse.

nGu Jingyu said, “I’ll give you a day to clarify the rumors. If I still hear anything bad about her, you may not know the consequences, but I don’t mind giving you a taste of it then.”

nGu Jingyu could not be bothered to even touch him and simply scoffed.

nChen Jian genuinely wanted to curse at him and punch him properly, but damn it, he did not dare to.

nAfter all, Gu Jingyu had the Gu family to back him up. He was the Third Young Master of the Gu family. Just by lifting their legs once, that family could cause the entire C Nation to shake. He did not dare…

nIndeed, he also did not yet know what the consequences of offending a figure as prominent as him were. But he was sure that he absolutely would not be able to bear the consequences. Thus, how could he dare to?

nNot saying a word, Gu Jingyu pulled Su Wan to her feet. Then, he turned around and walked out.

nChen Jian watched the door close with a thud. He sat there in a complete daze.

nThe woman beside him was in a momentary trance before she quickly sat down as well.

n“What? Was that person earlier Gu Jingyu? The person who’s sponsoring Su Wan is Gu Jingyu?”

nChen Jian did not speak and continued staring blankly.

n“No way. How can Su Wan have such good luck?”

nGood luck?

nChen Jian immediately looked up. “You, get lost!”

nAfter being shocked by his vicious expression, the woman subconsciously backed away a little.

nBut why did she have to back away?

n“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you venting your anger on me after being bullied? Hmph. If you feel indignant, you can go and take him on.” The woman immediately stood up and walked out angrily. For a moment, she felt that Chen Jian was truly incompetent.

nHowever, indeed, who could compare to Gu Jingyu?

nAny woman would choose Gu Jingyu.

nIt was a pity that not every woman had the sort of luck that Su Wan had.

nSeeing that she was about to leave, Chen Jian immediately remembered something. “Whatever you saw today, pretend you saw nothing.”

nHe did not want others to know that he was no match for Gu Jingyu and that Su Wan had not gotten together with him because of this. He selfishly found it extremely embarrassing.

nThe woman turned her head with an expression of reluctance.

nIt was such a hot piece of gossip. She genuinely wanted to tell everyone she knew.

nChen Jian said, “You heard what Gu Jingyu said earlier. If you dare to spread the news, he has ten thousand ways to make you die a terrible death. If you want to oppose a member of the Gu family, then you can go ahead. When that happens, I definitely won’t be able to ensure your safety.”

nThe woman immediately recalled Gu Jingyu’s expression earlier, causing her heart to tremble all of a sudden.

nHow hateful. Such a good piece of gossip… but she could only keep it in her heart?

n—

nGu Jingyu pulled Su Wan out. He was basically dragging her out.

nHe released her only when they arrived outside. Leaning against his own car and not caring if there were people around, he first took out a cigarette and took a puff.

nSu Wan looked at him. She recalled his earlier words and turned her head away, saying dryly, “You… why did you casually say… that I’m your woman…”

nGu Jingyu said, “I said it. So what?”

nWhat can you do about me?

nHis eyes were clearly saying this.

nSu Wan’s face immediately turned red.

nShe was fuming with rage, but she did not in fact know what she could do about him.

nShe could only purse her lips tightly. “What can I do to you? What do you think I can do to you? That’s right. You’re the Third Young Master of the Gu family. The king that all your fans protect. What can I do to you?” Her voice deepened as if she was mocking herself. “As for me, I have nothing at all. I’m just a lonely woman whom no one wants. I have nothing. What else can I do to you? I have to judge your response even when I’m refusing to be your woman.”

nHearing this, Gu Jingyu looked up.

nHe threw down his cigarette, pushed her directly against the car, and looked at her. “Am I making things that difficult for you by asking you to be my woman?”

n“I’m not willing to, so you’re making things difficult for me!”

n“Why? I can give you whatever you want.” Gu Jingyu did not understand. Was he worse than Chen Jian? Clearly not. But why was she so adamant?

n“What I want is a peaceful life. Can you give me that?”

nGu Jingyu paused.

nThere was no such thing as a peaceful life in the Gu family.

nFurthermore, did she mean that she wanted him to marry her?

nThat was not quite possible.

nHe released her.

nSu Wan smiled coldly. “In that case, let go of me. I’ve already paid you back what I owe you. It’s time for you to let me off, right?”

nWhen Su Wan was done speaking, she pushed him away, turned around, and said, “I’m still grateful to you for helping me earlier. Although you’re also the one who spread the news in the first place.”

nHer side profile had a faint sadness to it. Despite the fact that he had caused her to suffer a lot, she seemed to have gotten used to such suffering.

nAnyway, she was already used to grinning and bearing it.

n—

nAfter returning home, Lin Che heard Gu Jingze having a telephone conversation with Hammond. Hammond said that he would be coming to C Nation on a visit as well.

nFurthermore, the entire C Nation was already making preparations to receive a visit from Di An.
