6,6.
In Xu Siyue's world, there was an eight-magnitude earthquake, and the earth shook.
No matter how rich her imagination was, she never imagined that tonight would be like this.
It was like she was about to fall off a cliff and was pulled back to the ground. However, the hand holding her was not safe and held a greater threat.
Now she was absolutely sure that what Liang Yan had analyzed was just a dream. Gu Xueden was determined and would rather sacrifice his own marriage to marry her back.
No matter how outrageous this revenge marriage was, it became a fact the moment he said it, and it wouldn't take long for the news to spread throughout all circles in Mingcheng.
Xu Siyue's first instinctive reaction was to refute. If she cleared things up now, she might still be saved!
But when the words came to her lips, Xu Siyue saw the picture frame Gu Xueden was holding in her hand. Her throat became lumpy and she swallowed it unconsciously. From the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of Yang Yu's ferocious face.
Face.
Xu Siyue turned her head subconsciously and looked around.
It’s not just Yang Yu. The expressions of those people who mocked her before, such as “little lover”, “lost dog”, “women who treat her as playthings, it’s impossible to marry her”, and even strangers, all have wonderful expressions.
When I looked at Gu Xuechen, I was so heartbroken that I wanted to rush forward and get married on the spot. When I turned around to look at her, I saw a face that was filled with resentment and resentment.
Xu Siyue pursed her lips, feeling that she might have been too angry, and actually had an outrageous impulse.
Even if I pay the price, I still want to torture them...
She looked at Gu Xueden again.
He stood there coldly, standing out among the powerful people, his eyes were so dark that it seemed as if no light could pass through, just waiting for her reaction in silence and calmness, and...as a newlywed husband.
Xu Siyue felt that her blood was getting more and more intense, and she began to lose control.
If she refutes, the painting will definitely be taken away by him directly. She can't get it, nor can she slap these monsters in the face, and she will be doubly humiliated. But if it's the other way around...
Gu Xuechen's eyebrows narrowed slightly.
Xu Siyue noticed that his patience was showing signs of running out, and she couldn't help but feel excited. She simply gave up and bravely threw the bidding card on the seat, brushed her long hair, and walked towards him with her chest raised and her head raised.
All the eyes of the audience were fixed on her.
She took a deep breath, and wrinkled the tip of her nose at Gu Xuechen as she remembered her date with him. Her voice was slightly cooing, and she complained with a hint of squeamishness: "Xuechen, why are you late."
Gu Xue's eyes trembled for a moment, and then disappeared into the depths.
He said "hmm" in a low voice, his tone was very magnetic.
Xu Siyue's ears were slightly numbed by this breathy sound, her mind was shaken inexplicably, and she quickly stabilized herself.
She consciously performed the whole trick, stretched out her porcelain white arm, hooked the man's arm in a familiar manner, leaned a little on his shoulder, raised her red lips: "Fortunately, the painting is not lost, I reluctantly forgive you, later on
I’m not interested in any of the auction items, so let’s go.”
Gu Xueden glanced at the delicate and flawless hand on the black suit. She didn't break away or pull it closer, but she slowed down invisibly to adapt to her pair of stiletto heels that strengthened her aura.
"Fourth month...Fourth month!"
Liang Yan's face was as white as paper and she called her from behind.
Gu Xueden tilted his head and glanced over indifferently. His glance sent a chill down Liang Yan's spine. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she stared at him as if she was about to cry.
Xu Siyue already had the idea of death in one fell swoop. Of course, she had to make the most of this opportunity. She turned around and smiled at Liang Yan, her face precisely stuck at the most beautiful angle, and she raised her chin slightly while scanning the entire audience proudly.
, let the men and women who saw her joke enjoy the resentment at this moment.
In just a few seconds, the hatred level was about to explode. Xu Siyue's eyes narrowed and she said, "Xuechen and I are just going home, don't worry."
She took a deep look at Liang Yan, thinking that her heart was filled with ashes. She hoped that her sister would not cry for her, and she would be grateful if she would burn some paper for her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The capacity of the venue was not large, and the walk out was not long, but with Xu Siyue holding Gu Xueden's arm, it felt like walking for three days and three nights.
After leaving the crowd and arriving at the porch of the Opera House, Gu Xueden's car was already waiting there. Xu Siyue hurriedly took out her hand and rubbed the tiny goose bumps that appeared on her arms.
It was purely due to his coldness.
Gu Xueden saw her movements, slowly tightened his fingers, and whispered: "Get in the car."
Assistant Qiao Yu worked part-time as a driver today. From the moment the car door opened, he held his breath and did not dare to take a breath.
The black Bentley drove smoothly out of the gate of the Opera House. It should have been speeding towards its destination, but Qiao Yufu understood deeply and quietly slowed down the speed, trying to extend the time on the road as long as possible.
In the rearview mirror, there were two people on one side, with a Grand Canyon in between. Mr. Gu had his eyes closed, and the beautiful young lady was leaning against the car door.
Qiao Yu felt that the eldest lady looked strangely familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and his head suddenly felt hot.
Damn it! This is not the pretty girl in the painting!
The air in the car was frozen. Xu Siyue's face was tense and she asked stiffly: "Gu Xueden, you knew about the auction earlier than me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have mentioned the time at eight o'clock."
Gu Xuechen raised his eyes slightly.
Without him answering, Xu Siyue laughed to herself: "Why should I ask you... Whether you know it or not is all your business. You have no obligation to tell me. No one can blame me for the embarrassment I suffered today."
On your head, if you didn’t add insult to injury in front of those people, I should kowtow to thank you.”
She tried her best not to lose her composure and maintained her remaining calmness: "But I really want to know, haven't you met a woman you really like in the past few years? And you haven't had anyone with whom you can seriously marry and start a career? I
I owe it to you, you deserve to hate me, but you have to use the method of marriage to abuse me? You even used the method of making it official in public and trying to catch the duck!"
Qiao Yu felt chills in front of him and glanced nervously at Gu Xueden's face.
He was still very quiet, his whole figure seemed to be caged in the ice that could never be broken, he was depressed and lonely, and he refused to let anyone come close to his heart.
His eyelashes were long, and if he lowered them even slightly, they could cover up all the emotions in his eyes. He said calmly, "If you still want to refuse, I have more methods besides this."
"But didn't you enjoy being at the venue just now?" He finally turned to look at her sideways and opened his lips slightly, "Mrs. Gu?"
Xu Siyue was about to be choked to death by him, and her desperate desire to save face made him pin her to the ground and rub her mercilessly.
There was a glimmer of water in her eyes, and she wanted to take off her high heels and hit him.
At this time, the car turned at the intersection and drove towards a courtyard not far ahead. The night was getting darker and there was not much traffic on the street, so when something strange appeared, Qiao Yu reacted quickly.
"Mr. Gu, be careful!"
On the dark long street, a drunken off-road vehicle rushed over from the opposite direction, broke through the central guardrail, and lost control and was about to hit the Bentley.
Qiao Yu turned the steering wheel all the way and turned the car's head in time, causing the car's body to shake violently.
Xu Siyue was unprepared and fell to the side uncontrollably. She didn't even have time to grab Gu Xueden's arm and fell directly into his arms.
Her ears were in chaos, and she could vaguely hear the harsh screeching sound of tires outside, but more... it was the steady and powerful heartbeat of the man's chest.
His body was a little cold, but his palms were hot. The moment she fell over, he instinctively held her shoulders and back with force, almost hurting her. At this moment, his body temperature was through her thin skirt, as if it was seeping into her bones.
deep.
Xu Siyue was in a daze for a moment, and she couldn't tell which night of the year it was now.
Why, after four years, in such a tit-for-tat situation, could Gu Xueden's body still make her feel nostalgic.
Qiao Yu didn't have the guts to look at the situation in the back row: "Mr. Gu, the recuperation center is here. You take Miss Xu there first. I'll stay here to deal with it."
Xu Siyue suddenly raised her head: "...recuperation center?!"
Gu Xueden's hand had already been released, and he looked down at her, as if looking at a shameless prodigal: "Your grandma, don't you want to meet her?"
Xu Siyue's heart suffocated and she hurriedly sat down: "My grandma..."
She thought of what Gu Xueden had said before, her eyes were a little red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "You took my grandmother away from Xu Cheng's place?! Gu Xueden, please don't mess around, it's me who owes you
Don't use your methods on the old lady!"
Gu Xueden didn't comment, grabbed her wrist and got out of the car: "If you don't want her to be sad, you'd better change your expression."
When they saw the car lights, a group of people came out of the nursing center to greet him. The middle-aged woman in the lead nodded to Gu Xueden repeatedly and said with a pleasant smile: "Mr. Gu, you are here. The old man has settled down. You can go over and take a look now."
"
Xu Siyue was led all the way forward, and she quickly saw that this health care center covers a large area. There were several small off-white European-style buildings in the field of vision, and a group of single-story townhouses with yards. Look at
It turns out it’s expensive.
A few minutes later, Gu Xueden pushed her to a small courtyard in the middle.
The curtains in the living room were not closed, and the light inside was warm and yellow. An old lady with silver hair was sitting in front of the window with her head down, knitting with a hook needle.
Xu Siyue was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and refused to let Gu Xueden find out. She hurriedly wiped her cheeks and then walked in lightly.
The old lady looked up when she heard the sound, dropped the hook needle in her hand, stood up tremblingly, and cautiously shouted: "Yueyue."
Xu Siyue tried her best to hold back her tears.
The old lady thought she was dazzled, so she took a few steps towards her and held her cold forearm with her thin hands: "Yueyue is really back. Don't cry. Grandma is here."
Xu Siyue bent down and hugged her, silently shedding the tears on the back of her hands, wiping them away as if nothing happened, and said with a smile: "I'm not crying, I just miss you."
Grandma led her to sit down and tried to look outside: "Where is Xiao Gu? Xiao Gu is not here?"
Xu Siyue froze: "What are you asking him for..."
Grandma patted the back of her hand and said, "Newlyweds, of course they will stick together a lot. Xiao Gu is so good-looking. I am happy to see you get close."
Xu Siyue's head is about to explode.
Gu Xuechen used one night to publicize her relationship at home?!
"Xiao Gu picked me up and took me out of that place himself. He didn't get here until almost eight o'clock, and he was in a hurry to go to some auction." The old lady sighed, and slammed the table in anger, "Xu Cheng
That white-eyed wolf! You relied on our family and your mother to climb high, but in the end, you were so arrogant that you even plundered everything around me and refused to let me contact you!"
She waved her hand, her cloudy eyes a little moist: "Fortunately, my little moon has found a good home. Grandma has nothing but a worthless bracelet that can be kept as a dowry for you."
The old lady took off the bracelet that contained body temperature, put it on Xu Siyue's slender wrist, and put her cheek against her forehead.
Xu Siyue wants to say, grandma, you have misunderstood. Xiao Gu is not a good home for me. Xiao Gu is the emotional debt I owe. He is just here to collect debts. He is good to you, which is his quality. He does all these things.
point to the same purpose.
Grandma smiled and said: "I like Xiao Gu, he somehow looks a bit like... like Ah Shi."
She showed Xu Siyue the knitting yarn on her hand. It was a women's sweater with a small robot on the chest: "The one you gave to Ah Shi before was a small robot like this. Grandma's piece besides the pattern
, the pattern is a one-to-one imitation of Hermès, so don’t worry, it’s ready to be worn.”
Xu Siyue nodded helplessly. Grandma was very fashionable. She knew all the luxury brands and could make handicrafts based on illustrated magazines. But sometimes she got confused as she got older and always remembered the past wrongly.
This "Ah Shi" was the playmate that grandma mentioned many times, but she didn't remember such a person at all.
It doesn't matter, anyway, she will accept whatever the old lady says, as long as she is safe and someone can protect her.
Xu Siyue looked at her grandmother's face under the lamp, then turned to look at the exquisite decoration equipment in the room, her heart dropped empty and hit the bottom.
"Grandma," she asked softly, "what do you think Xiao Gu... is thinking about."
Grandma tapped her forehead: "I miss you. He likes you so much that he can care about me, an old woman."
Xu Siyue shook her head.
For a moment just now, she wondered if she had guessed wrong. Maybe... Gu Xuechen really wanted to get married because he still had lingering feelings for her?
But in just a few seconds, she completely rejected this idea.
The relationship between her and Gu Xueden only lasted three months. To say that a man can remember someone for three months, and even after experiencing such bad teasing, betrayal, and hurt, he can still remember him forever, even for four years.
Marry her when you meet her?
If she had been Gu Xueden, she would have hated her so much that no matter how much she was tortured or retaliated, it would never be enough, and there would be no emotion at all.
What's more, now Gu Xueden has everything, but she can only see her face.
But when she chased Gu Xueden for so long before she caught him, it was obvious that he was not a face-controller, and this advantage did not exist.
Then only the worst and most reasonable one remains...
Marrying her is just for torture.
But after tonight, she has completely lost the strength to resist. The painting and her family are under his control, and she has no choice.
Xu Siyue said goodbye to her grandmother, promised to see her again in two days, and walked out of the small courtyard with a despairing heart.
The street lights outside the courtyard were very bright, and the foggy white light fell down, covering the man's body.
He stood on the side of the road, his head slightly lowered, his back still straight, his legs slender, his waist narrow and his shoulders wide, his Adam's apple on his collar sharply curved, his face classically charming, like a meticulously drawn famous painting, ascetic and cold,
But it arouses people's blood heat.
He was specifically keeping an eye on her, probably because he was afraid that she would run away!
Dog man.
A scumbag and a bitch are worthy of each other.
Xu Siyue took a deep breath mockingly, the tip of her nose turning red.
She was afraid that she would back down, so she quickly walked up to Gu Xueden and demanded in a hoarse voice: "Gu Xueden, get married!"
The cold words of first and last name made the man's eyes move, and he raised the end of his eyes slightly: "Should the title be changed?"
In the venue, she tenderly called "Xuechen".
"What's the matter? You don't want me to call -"
Xu Siyue's emotions were slipping towards the edge of collapse. For a moment, she couldn't react in time and blurted out two words.
Chapter completed!
