"Intimate love?!"
When Gu Xiyan heard Gu Shiyu's words, she nearly threw up her lunch and snack.
She knew very well that in the first year of her cousin's marriage to her husband, they seed inseparable, but years later, they grew tired of each other and had long been living apart, each doing their own thing.
Gu Xiyan had initially refused to believe these rumors, thinking that they were slander against her cousin. However, one day, when she saw her cousin strolling hand in hand with a young boy on the street, even giving him the ice cream she had eaten, could that be a re friendship?
At that mont, Gu Shiyu's image collapsed in Gu Xiyan's heart.
Now, as Gu Shiyu claid that she and her husband were still deeply in love, Gu Xiyan seriously doubted if sothing was wrong with her ears.
Or perhaps, was it Gu Shiyu's head that had a problem?
No... that's not right...
If a couple, behind the scenes, were already each playing their own ga but it didn't affect their affection for each other, and they could still display a loving front in public, then indeed, it could be called... intimate love...
Gu Xiyan's expression was stern as she glanced at Gu Shiyu and distanced herself, saying coldly, "You want to learn from you and your husband and be intimately in love? Sorry, I can't do that!"
After speaking, she looked up with a cold gaze at Gu Zhengxin, whose face was full of smugness, and said with a determined tone, "Even if you deprive of everything I've worked hard for using your filthy tricks, I won't bow down to you because of it. I might leave the Gu family penniless tonight, but one day, I will rise again from the ashes and reach heights beyond your imagination, looking down on all of you..."
When Gu Zhengxin heard Gu Xiyan's refusal of his arrangent, the smugness on his old face instantly froze!
His complexion turned extrely ugly in an instant!
His fingers trembling, he raised his hand to point at Gu Xiyan, wanting to berate her for her foolishness.
However, Gu Xiyan simply ignored him, her gaze slowly sweeping over her parents, uncle, and other mbers of the Gu family. As their eyes t hers for a mont, they imdiately dodged her gaze.
Gu Xiyan's face, previously tense, suddenly relaxed as she laughed lightly and said, "Your visions are always so narrow, just for the small benefits offered by the Zhang and Chen families for Qiu Huai and Xuyang, you're always thinking about selling out, not realizing that I alone am worth more than both of their families combined. Today, you use all ans to drive away and strip away my company, but it's not who loses, it's you. One day, you will regret today's decision..."
Having said that, Gu Xiyan turned around, signifying a complete break with the Gu family, and walked out of the hall with a sharp click of her high heels.
Chen Xuyang, who was chatting absently in the living room with Gu Xiyan's younger cousin Gu Shiqian, stood up imdiately when he saw Gu Xiyan co out. He walked straight towards her, not minding the sudden change in Gu Shiqian's expression to an extrely ugly one.
"Xiyan, so many of our junior high classmates haven't seen each other for a long ti, could you help organize a reunion so we can catch up, play so gas, and reconnect?"
Chen Xuyang thought of gathering the junior high classmates, anticipating that Gu Xiyan's wariness towards him would decrease considerably, then through playing gas and easing the mood, followed by a round of Truth or Dare, he was sure to find a chance to win her favor by bribing the classmates in advance.
But before he could finish talking, he saw Gu Xiyan, with a cold face, walking past him without even the courtesy of a response.
"Xiyan, Xiyan... what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Chen Xuyang paused, then called out loudly to her retreating figure.
After calling out and seeing that Gu Xiyan had no intention of stopping, he quickly stepped forward, trying to grab her arm to stop her and ask what was wrong.
Gu Xiyan heard the noise, abruptly stopped in her tracks, dodged his move, and with her mood at rock bottom, she certainly wasn't in the mood to humor the likes of him, simply spitting out one word coldly, "Scram!"
Having said that, she withdrew her gaze, turned around, and strode away, her high heels clicking on the floor with a rapid and sharp sound, and in a few steps, she had left the Gu Family Villa!
"Xiyan..."
Chen Xuyang weakly stretched out his hand and called after her, then thinking about the word 'scram' that Gu Xiyan had just shouted at him, his original bright mood, upon hearing that the Gu Family wanted to bring him and Gu Xiyan together, instantly turned sour!
"Damn it, what in the world is going on?!"
Extrely displeased, Chen Xuyang left behind Gu Shiqian, who still wanted to talk to him, and headed toward the main hall inside.
He was going to ask the Gu family what they ant by summoning him, were they just playing him for a fool?!
Chen Xuyang stord into the hall, and before he could speak, Gu Zhengxin, with a glum face, apologetically said to him, "I'm sorry, Young Master Chen, Xiyan is a bit stubborn and sticks to her guns. I just hinted at introducing you to her, and she turned against us and left. It was my oversight; I really am sorry..."
Chen Xuyang, who was originally ready to curse them out, couldn't vent his pent-up anger upon hearing Old Master Gu apologizing to him like that, and could only dejectedly say, "Old Master Gu, if you're not sure about sothing in the future, don't make promises to . I don't want to co over all happy next ti, only to be told to scram!" Follow current novᴇls on novel-fire
After finishing, Chen Xuyang, regardless of the Gu family mbers' attempts to retain him, also left the Gu Family.
With everyone gone, Gu Zhengxin's face darkened terribly, but he didn't lose his composure to the point of smashing things in anger!
After all, though he hadn't expected Gu Xiyan to be so resolute and openly break with them, his goal wasn't achieved, yet he wasn't at a loss either.
Even though because of Gu Xiyan, he couldn't reach further cooperation with the Zhang Family or the Chen Family, acquiring the highly promising Face of Jade Group would still allow the Gu Corporation to advance.
This could be considered a fair compensation for the loss brought about by Gu Xiyan's refusal to accept his arrangents.
As for Gu Xiyan's claim that they would regret their decision tonight, he didn't believe it at all. Without the Gu Family's support, what upheaval could Gu Xiyan possibly cause?
...
Gu Xiyan left the Gu Family, intending to drive away, but recalling what Gu Zhengxin said, she knew she didn't even have her car anymore. If she took the keys and drove away, who knows if her grandfather, who only cared about profit, would take the opportunity to call the police and have her arrested!
So, clutching her purse, and seeing that there was still several hundred yuan inside, she walked out and hailed a taxi.
As for the credit cards, she didn't bother trying. She just knew they must have been frozen, and that she couldn't use them!
Having left the Gu Family, Gu Xiyan, with a heart full of suffocation and no outlet, thought of calling her best friend Yu Linglong, but then she didn't know what to say. Her situation was probably not great either. Was she supposed to comfort her?
Forget it.
Gu Xiyan sat in the back seat of the taxi, not wanting to dwell on the annoyance of where to stay tonight. When she saw a bar called "Night Cat" through the car window, she told the taxi driver to stop, paid the fare, and walked toward the bar.
She, who never drank, was going to drown her sorrows in alcohol because of tonight's misfortune!
