On a summer afternoon, the air is filled with a lazy and hot atmosphere, as if even the wind is too lazy to move.
Gu Ranle drove her car, traveling through the bustling city. Although the scenery outside the window was beautiful, it could not dispel the haze in her heart.
She failed to get the answer she wanted from that bastard Gu Xiaohei, and now she felt as listless as a flower scorched by the scorching sun.
Her intuition as a woman told her that there must be something fishy going on with the favorability manipulation.
As for what the trick is, she doesn't know now.
The meal time agreed with Mr. Luo was in the evening, so after leaving Song Yu's clinic, Gu Ranle drove back home.
As soon as the car stopped, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence around.
Gu Lanshan came running over like a gust of wind on a summer afternoon, her face full of anxiety and uneasiness, and her voice was trembling a little, which made people feel nervous.
"sister!"
Gu Ranle frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "What happened?"
Gu Lanshan propped her hands on the car body, panting heavily, "Sister, you...you should go see elder sister quickly, something big has happened!"
"Big thing?" Gu Ranle's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
She subconsciously clenched her fists, and an indescribable anger surged in her heart.
Is that woman Zhao Lili starting to mistreat her daughter again?
After only a few days of peace, they start making trouble again!
It turns out that some people just can’t stop asking for trouble!
"It's the Jin family," Gu Lanshan panted, her voice choking with sobs, "The Jin family wants to break off the engagement with my eldest sister!"
Gu Ranle was slightly stunned.
Her clenched fists loosened slightly, and her fingertips turned white from clenching them for so long.
"why?"
Gu Yueming and Jin Zilin were about to get married, but now they want to cancel the engagement!
"I don't know either," Gu Lanshan said, her eyes red and tears began to fall, "My eldest sister refused to say. She locked herself in the room and she wouldn't open the door no matter how I called her. Sister, please go and persuade my eldest sister. I'm afraid she will do something stupid."
Gu Ranle nodded, raised his hand and patted Gu Lanshan's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Gu Yueming's residence.
Gu Lanshan followed closely behind, staggering, wiping her unstoppable tears with her sleeve as she walked.
"Why are you crying?" Gu Ranle suddenly stopped and looked back at Gu Lanshan sternly, "Can crying solve the problem?"
Gu Lanshan looked up at her and shook her head, "No."
"Why are you crying?"
Gu Lanshan raised her hand and wiped away her tears.
Gu Ranle continued to scold: "How many times have I told you not to cry all the time? You ignored my words, didn't you?"
She hadn't been angry for a while.
Gu Lanshan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She bit her lips hard and dared not breathe.
"If you keep crying all the time, I promise to make you cry enough!"
Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan lived in a mobile home, and Gu Ranle walked straight to the door.
He opened the door but didn't let Gu Lanshan in.
"Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat. I haven't eaten yet." Gu Ranle's voice was calm and decisive, and he would not brook any refusal.
Gu Lanshan knew that she was trying to get rid of her on purpose. Although she really wanted to follow her in, she nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Gu Yueming's bedroom door was closed and locked from the inside.
Gu Ranle walked to the door and knocked on it unceremoniously, her voice loud and powerful, "Gu Yueming, open the door!"
A few seconds later, the door slowly opened and Gu Yueming appeared at the door with red eyes from crying.
Her eyes were full of helplessness and despair, as if the whole world had collapsed.
"Le, Lele." Gu Yueming choked and shouted, his voice full of grievance.
Gu Ranle glanced at her, frowned, and asked in a cold tone: "Are you so sad about being broken off? Do you love Jin Zilin so much that you will not marry anyone else but him?"
Gu Yueming opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but only uttered "no".
"Just hold back your tears!" Gu Ranle raised her voice a few notches, with an irresistible majesty, "Look at your lack of ability. He's just a man. Is it necessary for you to be so heartbroken?"
Gu Ranle looked at Gu Yueming unhappily, "I'll give you two minutes to clean yourself up!"
After saying that, she walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
In order to calm the turbulent waves in her heart, Gu Yueming stood up and walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the cool water wash over her face, trying to take away the lingering irritability.
Standing in front of the bright mirror, she slapped her cheeks hard, trying to use the physical pain to awaken her inner calm and rationality.
The self in the mirror had slightly red eyes and looked very embarrassing.
When she appeared in the living room, she looked relatively calm.
She sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Ranle.
Gu Ranle's face was still stern, without the slightest fluctuation. She just said lightly: "Tell me, what's going on?" Although her voice was light, it carried a power that could not be ignored.
Gu Yueming's lips trembled slightly, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his throat that he couldn't speak for a moment.
She tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, took a deep breath, and finally spoke slowly: "It was Zhao Lili. She went to ask Jin Zilin for money, and the two had a fierce argument. During the argument, she actually pushed Jin Zilin down the stairs. Although Jin Zilin was injured, fortunately his life was not in danger. However, this incident completely angered the Jin family. Not only did they threaten to put Zhao Lili in jail, they also proposed to break off the engagement with me. They said that having a mother like me would only be a bottomless pit and drag them down in the future."
After hearing this, Gu Ranle's eyes flashed with a cold light. She stared at Gu Yueming closely, as if looking for something.
After a moment, she asked coldly, "Did Jin Zilin also agree to cancel the engagement?"
Gu Yueming nodded, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
She knew that this result meant that the fate between her and Jin Zilin had come to an end.
"If that's the case, then it can only mean that he doesn't love you." Gu Ranle analyzed calmly, and then asked, "Do you love him very much?"
Gu Yueming was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about this question seriously.
Finally, she shook her head gently, with a hint of relief in her voice: "It's not that I love him that much, but after so many years, I have become accustomed to his existence. Habits are sometimes harder to give up than love."
Gu Ranle chuckled, "Really? I think that Jin Zilin is just a piece of wood floating in the rough sea to you. You tried your best, almost madly, to hold on to this drifting wood, thinking that by doing so, you can escape the endless pain brought to you by your original family and get rid of the shadow of your parents that follows you everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yueming bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, with such force that it seemed as if he was going to break the tender skin and cause traces of blood to seep out.
She lowered her head, her long hair covering half of her face, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.
The only sounds in the entire space were her heavy breathing and heartbeat, echoing in the silence.
Gu Ranle's words were like a sharp knife, accurately piercing Gu Yueming's heart, leaving her unable to refute or escape.
Those secrets hidden deep in the heart, which even they themselves were unwilling to face, were easily revealed by Gu Ranle.
For a long time, Gu Yueming did not speak, but just sat there quietly, like a statue without a soul.
She was struggling and suffering in her heart, but at this moment, she felt a sense of clarity that she had never felt before.
Gu Ranle obviously didn't want to continue wasting time here, and there was a hint of impatience in her tone.
"Gu Yueming, now, tell me your true thoughts, do you still want to marry Jin Zilin?"
Gu Yueming slowly raised her head, and the blood had already dyed her lips crimson.
She pursed her lips gently, as if trying to swallow the bitterness and determination together.
Then, she shook her head, her eyes revealing an unprecedented firmness and determination, "I don't want to."
"Okay, I got it." Upon hearing that, Gu Ranle stood up and walked towards the door without any hesitation.
"Le Le." Gu Yueming hurriedly called her, with a hint of pleading in his voice, "Regarding the cancellation of the engagement, I know it's not the Jin family's fault. Can you... not make things difficult for them?"
Gu Ranle stopped, turned around, and smiled lightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in that smile.
"Do you want to be a saint? Gu Yueming, before you become a saint, you must first make sure you have enough capital. But what do you have now?"
After saying this, Gu Ranle left without looking back, leaving Gu Yueming alone there, falling into deep thought.
