Hearing him describe robbery and forced buying and selling as a proposal of marriage, Xu Siyue was even more sure that Gu Xuechen had really changed.

The total number of days she had been seriously dating him was only three months, and during those dozens of days, Gu Xueden also raised this topic once.

It was a weekend, and it was rare for Gu Daubai to find time to go shopping with her, but she had found her prey at that time, and she already had the idea of ​​​​breaking up as soon as possible.

So she stopped pretending to be fresh and simple and went to buy Zara, and deliberately dragged him to the shopping mall where she really frequented, where an umbrella could cost five figures.

Gu Xuechen was very quiet beside her, silently looking at those unattainable zeros.

She was dissatisfied with this reaction. Normally, even if she didn't feel ashamed, she should be aware of the economic gap. The next step would be that he was under too much pressure and took the initiative to break up. It was so perfect and trouble-free, but why didn't he do it right?

She was a little disappointed that she couldn't achieve her goal, and she was not in the mood to go shopping anymore. As a result, she bumped into a luxurious proposal when she was leaving the mall. The ring was particularly heavy, and it was a dove egg that blinded her eyes, so she had to glance at it a few times.

Gu Xueden, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke and asked her in a low voice: "Do you like it?"

"What?"

"That ring."

She replied smoothly: "You might as well ask which woman there doesn't like it."

The surroundings were chaotic, the crowd was full of boos and screams, huge balloons exploded overhead, scattering ribbons and gold foil.

Gu Xueden stood in the colorful rain, with her thin eyes lowered, and solemnly asked her: "If I propose with a ring like this, will you agree?"

He asked her sincerely, but at that moment she only thought it was absurd and funny.

It was just a short-term relationship, and he was frighteningly serious. Besides, he lived in such poverty. Let alone pigeon eggs, I don’t know how long it would take to save just one carat.

But during the "proposal" at that time, he was very cautious and cautious, but he was despised and trampled by her.

Now that he really has this ability, the word "proposal" has become a weapon, like a knife that can stab her to death.

Do evil.

What a fucking sin.

Gu Xueden must be so persistent in wanting to marry her in order to avenge her by ruthlessly torturing her.

Xu Siyue thought about all the misery after her marriage, couldn't help but shudder, and fiercely refused: "If you really hate me so much, just kill me, no one will care about me anyway, since you

We have so much money and no place to spend it, why not just buy | murder | people and go!”

Gu Xuechen asked indifferently: "Then your grandmother dies with you, and I have to spend the rest of my life in jail, and I have to bear the debt of two lives as a ghost?"

Xu Siyue was choked by him and couldn't breathe.

When did he become so talkative? He mocked her expressionlessly.

Xu Siyue took a deep breath and decided to change her strategy.

Once a person is forced into a situation, keeping one's face is no longer so important.

She pulled back her slightly messy long hair, revealing her beautiful side face, lowered her head with tears in her eyes, and finally softened her tone: "Xuechen, I'm not heartless. I've been feeling guilty for the past four years.

I owe you a lot, so——"

"So," Gu Xuechen said for her coldly, "you have had seven boyfriends."

Xu Siyue immediately shut up and cursed secretly.

Has this person maxed out his taunting skills?

That's right, she made up the false information herself and told Liang Yan to find a way to infiltrate it into Gu Xueden! There are seven boyfriends in total, all of different nationalities, all types of cold and charming, and even the love details are sweet in their own way.

.

She has a lot of misdeeds in the past. If she changed her story now and said it was all false, no one would believe it.

Xu Siyue wished she could wear it back and beat herself to death for making up lies.

Neither soft nor hard would work. Now she had no way to move forward or retreat, so she simply broke the jar and smashed it. She was so scumbag that it pissed him off. Maybe he would let her go in anger.

"...Yes, what happened to Seven? Does it have something to do with Mr. Gu?"

"I lied to you from the very beginning. Didn't you already know that? My feelings for you have never begun. There is no need to break up, let alone cheating. I have been feeling a little guilty for four years, and I have a good conscience.

"

"To tell you the truth, I just made an eighth friend before returning to China. This time he is a fair-skinned and beautiful innocent little brother. Our relationship is very hot right now. Mr. Gu is ready to fight for love and break us up?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally low temperature room seemed to suddenly drop to freezing point, and the soft air conditioning from the air conditioner became sharp, cutting her exposed skin.

Most of Gu Xueden's face was covered in gray shadows. Xu Siyue couldn't figure out his reaction. She could only see that the corner of his lips exposed to the light tightened coldly, and his jaw tensed into a sharp line.

After a few seconds, when Xu Siyue's chest hurt due to the suffocating atmosphere, he finally said in a low voice: "I'll give you one day to clean up. I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow night."

After saying that, Gu Xueden stopped staying, passed her by, and went straight to the door.

When their arms touched, Xu Siyue vaguely caught a glimpse of a dark red color at the end of his eyes.

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but her phone suddenly vibrated. It was Liang Yan calling.

This phone call was Xu Siyue's life-saving straw. Otherwise, if she continued to argue with Gu Xueden, she was really afraid that there would be bloodshed.

In the receiver, Liang Yanhuo asked anxiously: "Siyue, where are you?"

Xu Siyue pretended to be peaceful in an uncomfortable manner: "...Eating at the Star Picking Garden."

"Calm down and listen to me! I just learned that among the auction items at the opera house tomorrow night is a posthumous painting of your mother's, the one she painted for you on your tenth birthday!"

Xu Siyue's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her phone: "Are you sure?!"

"Make sure, I have an introduction to the lot in my hand right now, and I've sent you a screenshot. Take a look!" Liang Yan said hurriedly, "What's going on? Didn't you say that everything is fine at home? Such an important posthumous work

How did it end up at the auction?”

Xu Siyue immediately clicked on Liang Yan's WeChat message. In the picture, it turned out to be a painting that had been hanging by her bedside for many years.

In the summer of that northern town, she was sitting in the shaded yard with two pigtails, and her mother painted her with a smile. A few months later, her mother fell ill and never woke up.

The paintings that belonged to her were quietly disposed of.

She could even imagine how Xu Cheng searched for his wife's remaining works at home and sold them, and now they were used for auction at will by the buyers!

Xu Siyue was so angry that she was dizzy and said to Liang Yan: "Tell me the specific time, place and starting price!"

"I've inquired about it. The starting price is 200,000 yuan. Fortunately, it's not high. It's easy to win."

Xu Siyue only had a balance of more than 300,000 yuan left in her card and a bunch of luxuries that were purchased at a sky-high price and are now of no use.

She pinched a red mark between her eyebrows and said, holding back her shame: "I'll give you the two watches I brought with me. The total should be 500,000 yuan. Can you lend me the money first for an emergency?"

She had to snatch the painting back, and the starting price was 200,000 yuan. Generally, no one would bid maliciously, and one million or less would be enough.

Liang Yan was quite cheerful: "Why do you want to see me outside? If you need money, just ask and I will get it for you."

"Okay, I'll find you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Siyue looked around. Gu Xuechen had already left, and only the tip of her nose still had a bit of his coldness.

She sat down on the chair and just leaned on the table without any strength when the waiter knocked on the door and asked: "Miss Xu, can we serve the food?"

Xu Siyue remained motionless: "Everyone is gone."

She didn't eat on the plane and was so hungry that her stomach ached. But she had no money. From now on, she would no longer be a spendthrift queen. She only deserved to drink the northwest wind.

The waiter said: "The dishes were ordered by Mr. Gu in advance, and the bill was settled in advance."

Xu Siyue raised her head quickly and said without wasting half a second: "Come on! Come on now!"

This restaurant is a mix of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan cuisine. Xu Siyue has always been a fan of spicy food. When she came here to splurge, she would order every Sichuan dish.

It's a comfort to have my last full meal here.

Xu Siyue straightened her back, showing off her squeamish young lady style, never showing any weakness in front of others.

However, when the food was served, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"What are these? Sweet and sour? Boiled? Vegetarian stir-fried? Is there any spicy one?!"

The waiter smiled brightly: "Mr. Gu specially arranged it, and he didn't even add much salt."

Xu Siyue threw her chopsticks on the spot.

Gu Xuechen knew her taste and clearly wanted to disgust her on purpose!

Xu Siyue stood up and was about to leave. She took two steps and then stopped. She lowered her head in humiliation and looked at her screaming belly and slightly cramped stomach.

...Whatever you can't do, just be the first to be hungry.

She sat back down angrily, picked up the porridge at hand, shoveled some vegetables into it, and drank it angrily.

The warm and light porridge slid into her throat, unknowingly relieving her pain.

After cursing and finishing the meal, Xu Siyue dug out a box of medicine from her bag, pulled out two tablets, swallowed them with her eyes closed, and wiped the moisture from her eyelashes.

Outside the restaurant, it was dark at night.

The location here is secluded, with thick clouds in the sky covering the stars and moon, and only two rows of warm white street lights are on. The thin halo of light falls, illuminating a black Bentley parked on the roadside.

Gu Xueden sat in the driver's seat with half-closed eyes, looking silently at the door of the restaurant through the glass.

In the closed space of dead silence, assistant Qiao Yuzheng continued his voice report dutifully.

"Mr. Gu, the organizer of tomorrow night's charity auction has spoken with me on the phone. Thank you for your willingness to participate. I have specially reserved a seat in the middle of the front row. I will keep the itinerary confidential as per your request."

"You are right in your prediction. There is indeed something fishy about that painting. It was suddenly added to the auction list tonight. I'm not sure whether it was a coincidence or for some other purpose."

Gu Xuechen was surprised.

Qiao Yu was full of curiosity. Mr. Gu had been staring at this painting since it came out of the Xu family. He then thought of the beautiful little girl in the painting. Calculated from the time when the painting was signed, she was one year younger than Mr. Gu. He wanted to be strong.

I had the guts to say a few words of gossip, but a call came in from Gu Xueden's side.

He glanced at the number, cut off Qiao Yu directly, and pressed connect.

The head waiter in the restaurant said in an attentive tone: "Mr. Gu, Miss Xu has gone downstairs and took away the luggage left by Mr. Xu."

Gu Xue said nothing.

What follows is a detailed description: "...Ms. Xu was in a very bad mood, but she still ate porridge and vegetables, and her complexion seemed a little better. After the meal, she took two more pills. I didn't see the details clearly.

What is it."

When she heard "medicine", Gu Xuechen's eyebrows narrowed and she said "hmm" in a low voice.

Not long after, the revolving door of the restaurant moved, and Xu Siyue dragged her heavy suitcase out. She tied up her long hair, exposing her snow-white and delicate neck, and stood on the street taking a taxi with an angry look on her face, her red lips slightly parted.

Yes, most of them were scolding him.

The wind on the long street was very strong, and her skirt was thin and blown a little bit embarrassingly, but she was still dazzlingly beautiful, and the color was rich in the dark night.

Gu Xuechen stared at her intently, his fingers on the steering wheel unconsciously exerting force, protruding his pale and thin knuckles.

There was no one in the passenger seat next to him, only an open jewelry box.

There is a diamond ring embedded in the box and a bright dove egg.

That afternoon that year, he lowered his head and asked her: "If I propose to her with a ring like this, will you agree?"

The girl's eyes were full of disapproval and competitiveness, and she smiled perfunctorily and said: "If you can bring it up, I will agree."
