n

nAt that time, she said angrily that she wanted to break up with him, and then she threw the ring at him.

n

nUnexpectedly, he put it on her again today.

n

nFeng Jia let go of her hand and said, “Don’t be childish. Grandfather likes you, and the Feng family also likes you, so everything is still the same. Our engagement is still in place.”

n

nHe was very good-looking, but he’s bad at talking.

n

nIt was fine if he didn’t speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he would anger others.

n

nGu Chu withdrew her hand coldly. “You think I care about that? I saw that you got along well with that person. At worst, I’ll give up my place and make room for her.”

n

nShe spoke as if she didn’t care, which made Feng Jia frown slightly.

n

nHe said, “Are you still angry about that? I’ve already explained it.”

n

nGu Chu sneered. “What kind of explanation is that? It’s fine that you were talking and laughing with her that day. I’ve seen the two of you talking in private twice! If you didn’t do anything wrong, why did you feel guilty? And she’s my sister! Is this how you treat me?”

n

nAlthough he did not care, she had to let it out.

n

nMoreover, that person was Gu Wan, her sister who had just returned home.

n

nHa!

n

nAfter Gu Chu questioned him, she did not stay any longer and got off the bed in a huff.

n

nShe had stayed here a few times, so although it was his home, her clothes were in the closet.

n

nShe picked up a random piece of clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

n

nAs soon as she came out, she saw that he had also put on his clothes. Seeing that she was about to leave, he came over and grabbed her wrist. “Since you haven’t let go of that matter, why did you come to my house last night?”

n

nGu Chu rolled her eyes at him and couldn’t be bothered to answer. “Let go.”

n

nHe didn’t let go.

n

nGu Chu kicked his calf. Then, she walked out of the door.

n

nFeng Jia, who was behind her, looked at her back and frowned.

n

nGu Chu walked for twenty minutes, but she’s still not out of his neighborhood. She scolded the bastard along the way.

n

nShe was tired after walking, so she found a chair by the roadside and sat down.

n

nAfter she calmed down, she thought about what happened a month ago.

n

nTwenty years ago, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Wan, had gone missing. She had been searching for her for many years, but there had been no news of her.

n

nBut just a month ago, Gu Wan suddenly returned to the Gu family. At first, Gu Chu was happy. She took her around Beijing and shared her beloved things with her.

n

nBut gradually, she realized that her sister wanted to take everything from her, including Feng Jia!

n

nOne day, she overheard her mother say, “We owe all of this to Gu Wan. Our whole family owes her, especially Gu Chu! Back then, Gu Wan got lost because Gu Chu insisted on having candies. That was why Gu Wan took her out and got lost on the way back! She suffered for 20 years outside! What Gu Chu owed Gu Wan could never be repaid in her lifetime! Therefore, the Feng family’s engagement should be given to Gu Wan!”

n

nHis mother added, “Moreover, when she was engaged to the Feng family, although we didn’t specify whether it was Gu Wan or Gu Chu, it should have been Gu Wan in the first place since she was older. Now that Gu Wan is back, Gu Chu should return what is rightfully hers. What’s wrong with that?”

n

nThinking of this, Gu Chu’s heart turned cold.

n

nBefore her sister came back, her mother had always been kind and gentle.

n

nBut since she came back, her mother had been scolding her and treating her coldly.

n

nBut according to her mother, she was the reason her sister got lost?

n

nHa! That’s ridiculous! Gu Wan actually slandered her like this!
