"How did you escape?" Qiao Ran couldn't help but wonder. Gu Qingyan was sitting in a wheelchair and could not walk, so how could he escape from Gu Chongyuan?
"Because Gu Chongyuan sent me to monitor my subordinates. I was kind to him in the past. When his mother was seriously ill, it was my help that helped her get treatment and recover. He couldn't stand Gu Chongyuan's crazy behavior of fighting for power, so he secretly sent me away, and
I falsely claimed that Gu Chongyuan had put me under house arrest. After I escaped, I realized that things were not simple, so I had to cheer up and find out the truth. I contacted my old friend and asked him to secretly help send me to Country M for surgery. No
The operation went very smoothly. During the recovery period, I actively rehabilitated the tendons every day. While working hard to resume walking, I used my connections to secretly investigate Gu Chongyuan. I have all the evidence of Gu Chongyuan's crimes in the past two years. I am in country M.
, quietly waiting for the time to come. Finally, with all the evidence, I suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chongyuan and my father at the meeting of the board of directors to change the successor, exposing all his plots on the spot and giving him the most fatal blow. Afterwards,
Gu Zhongyuan had to withdraw from Gu's Bank, but of course in view of brotherly love and the Gu family's reputation, I will not let him go to jail."
After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, his bright eyes were full of apology.
"After returning to China, I have been paying attention to your news. I know everything you have suffered, but I have no face to see you. But I miss you so much that I have been looking for the right time to appear in front of you again."
After hearing this, Qiao Ran took a deep breath.
After explaining the past clearly, she felt a sense of relief, and even the air around her felt particularly fresh.
She tried to pull her hand away from Gu Qingyan, but Gu Qingyan held her tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Of course, I have established my own financial and venture capital company and separated from Gu's bank. From now on, I will not be controlled by anyone, let alone the Gu family. So don't worry, I have made you suffer.
The pain will never happen again." He said solemnly.
Qiao Ran sighed softly, "Qingyan, actually, the night before the World Shooting Championships, I agreed to meet with you because I wanted to make it clear to you. My relationship with you has always been not between a man and a woman. I hope you can understand. It's just that
I was being chased at that time, and you had another accident. I have never been able to say this again."
Gu Qingyan's eyes darkened, he knew it all too well.
It was precisely because he knew too well that she was not romantically involved with him, and she wanted to draw a clear line with him when she saw him. That was why he was so desperate that he gave up on himself when he fell off a cliff and woke up and found that he could not move his legs.
He had no way to keep her, secretly he hoped to tie her up in this way and keep her by his side.
He despises the disability of his legs, but cannot face himself, escaping from reality, fearing that he will never stand up, and unable to let go of his obsession with her.
He made all kinds of big mistakes that even he himself could never forgive himself for.
"Of course, I know everything you said. I can't forgive myself for what I did. I have no shame in asking you to forgive me." He let go of her hand, his eyes showing unprecedented firmness, "Give me a chance.
, let me spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
Qiao Ran lowered his head slowly, "I have never blamed you, so there is no forgiveness. You don't have to feel burdened. Although the truth of the matter is that your brother wants to harm you. But I am also responsible. After all, you were with the Gu family because of me.
The break gave Gu Zhongyuan the opportunity to take action. In the final analysis, since you and I know each other, what will happen next is inevitable. Maybe there is a destiny. You don't have to blame yourself, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. I feel,
The way we are now, it’s good to make it clear.”
"By the way, there are two things that I have forgotten to return to you." She opened her bag and took out two boxes, one larger and the other smaller. In fact, she had already put these two things in her bag.
For a long time, she always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him, but she hesitated a little, fearing that she would hit him again. Now that they had talked about it today, she had no worries.
Gu Qingyan watched her push the two boxes in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
He stretched out his hand, trembling slightly, and silently opened the box.
Inside the larger box is his watch. Once, he asked a nurse to pawn this limited edition watch.
There was a diamond ring lying in the smaller box. Of course he recognized it. It was the ring he had asked the nurse to buy for him with the money he pawned off his watch when he proposed to her in St. Mary's Hospital.
His heart sank heavily, he didn't expect... now, she would give it back to him.
Qiao Ran pointed to the watch, "After you disappeared, I once asked the nurse where to pawn your watch. Later, I collected enough money and redeemed it. I know you like this watch very much."
Gu Qingyan pursed his thin lips, her attentiveness made him even more tempted.
However, she returned the ring, which made him feel as if his heart was empty. She kept the ring, and he seemed to still have a trace of thought about it. Now, she wants to return even this trace of thought to him.
"As for the ring, I'm sorry, Qingyan, I can't accept it," she said with a faint expression.
"Is it because of Zuo Chenye?" Gu Qingyan suddenly asked.
Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment and didn't answer for a while.
Is it because of Zuo Chenye? Even she herself doesn't know the answer.
The surroundings were quieter, so quiet that even the sound of breathing was extremely clear. Gu Qingyan's breathing became heavier and heavier, making the surrounding atmosphere even more stagnant.
Finally, he accepted the watch and ring, with a wry smile on his lips, and said, "Of course, this ring is too simple and not worthy of you. I wanted to get it back. I will prepare again. One day I will
Put it on for you with my own hands."
Qiao Ran was slightly stunned.
Gu Qingyan has also changed. He is much more mature than before. He is full of fighting spirit, more persistent, and more confident. After experiencing these things, he has grown completely. It is foreseeable that in the near future, he will take off in the entire financial circle.
"It's getting late today, let's talk another day." Finally, Qiao Ran said.
"Okay." Gu Qingyan no longer forced himself. He said a lot today, and she should be given space and time to digest it.
After Gu Qingyan left, Qiao Ran was still immersed in the truth of the past he said and couldn't extricate himself.
She was pacing back and forth downstairs in Eden Apartment to relieve her sadness.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, from behind the big tree, a person walked out of the shadows.
She saw the person coming clearly and was stunned on the spot. It was Zuo Chenye.
