Gu Anran sprained her feet and sat on the ground for a long time without getting up. She could only watch helplessly as Mo Tingting ran away with the man.
Mo Bei came back at night and smelled the smell of medicinal oil as soon as he entered the room. He looked around nervously and saw Gu Anran leaning on the bed and resting with his eyes closed in the back room.
"An Ran." Mo Bei walked over quickly and found her feet exposed outside the quilt, which had just been wiped with potion.
The ankles were swollen, and the lines on the skin were stretched so much that they were no longer visible. The ankles were twice as big as usual.
Seeing this situation, Mo Bei's heart suddenly tightened. He was very worried, but he didn't dare to touch her, fearing that his heavy hand would hurt her.
"What happened to your feet?"
Gu Anran's foot pain did not improve immediately after applying the medicine, and it was burning. She closed her eyes and leaned against the bed, twisting her eyebrows to endure the pain. She had just fallen asleep when Mo Bei came back.
Hearing Mo Bei's voice, she opened her eyes in a light sleep and glanced at the clock on the wall. It had been almost three hours since Mo Tingting and Zhang Xiaowei left, and she could no longer track them down.
"Alas!" Gu Anran shook his head listlessly, "I didn't keep Tingting, she left with a man."
When Mo Bei heard Gu Anran tell what happened, he was so angry that he said harsh words, "Leave her alone! She deserves to be deceived by others!"
When I say this, I must be angry and worried in my heart. After all, they are brothers and sisters from the same mother.
But their worries were in vain, as they had no way of knowing where she was now.
Mo Bei stood in front of the window with his hands on his hips and his back to Gu Anran, standing silently for a while. When he turned around again, the anger in his body had calmed down.
"She is already in her twenties. Since she has made a choice for herself, she has to bear the consequences of this choice. Ignore her, have you not eaten? I look at the dishes on the table outside.
If you haven't moved yet, I'll heat it up for you."
"Um."
After eating, Mo Bei asked Gu Anran and determined that applying the medicinal oil to the sprained foot and rubbing it with appropriate strength would better help the oil to be absorbed, so he dared to help her rub the medicine.
When he woke up early the next morning, the swelling in Gu Anran's ankle had subsided. There was still a slight sting when he walked on the ground, but it was no longer a problem.
When she arrived at school, Su Mo asked around and got the latest news during the lunch break.
Gu Anran was lying on the table in the classroom, and the sunlight outside the window poured in and spread on her porcelain-white face. She closed her eyes, and her curled eyelashes formed a beautiful silhouette on her face.
Su Mo rushed back excitedly and saw that she was still asleep so he didn't disturb her. When the preparation bell rang, Gu Anran was woken up. When she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw Su Mo's face staring at her less than a punch away from hers.
.
"Oh." Gu Anran suddenly woke up, stood up and rubbed her eyes and asked her, "Why are you so close to me? You scared me."
"It's okay, I'm just taking a look," Su Mo said, "I'm just curious, why is your skin so good? If you look closely, you can't even see the pores, it's so delicate."
"Sleep more and drink more water."
"Can the skin be healed in this way? How long will it take?"
Gu Anran pursed her lips and smiled, "After a while, you will be surprised to find out how important natural beauty is."
"I..." Su Mo laughed angrily, "You're kidding me!"
Gu Anran smiled and took out a piece of chocolate from his schoolbag and gave it to Su Mo, "Well, when a child is angry, he will be happy as long as he eats his favorite candy."
Su Mo unceremoniously took the chocolate and immediately broke off a piece and put it into her mouth. The silky texture and rich chocolate flavor made her mouth curl up.
Her mouth was a little dry after taking a nap at noon. Gu Anran drank some water and found the books to be used for this class. Suddenly something occurred to her.
She tilted her head and looked at Su Mo, "Hey, didn't you say you wanted to inquire about Ruan Xue? Have you heard about it? Has she come to school?"
"I heard about it! She came to class. But her face looked bad. She didn't move in her seat all morning, and her expression was dull. Although on the surface everyone didn't dare to discuss this matter, secretly they talked about it.
The school now knows that Ruan Xue, a fashion design major, is suspected of being pregnant!"
"Um."
Gu Anran nodded. It was expected that Ruan Xue would continue to come to school. If she didn't come, the rumors in the school would be even worse. Someone would soon guess that if she didn't come to school, she would have an abortion.
So not daring to ask for leave was a forced choice for her, but when she came to school, she felt that everyone looked at her with ridicule, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Before Ruan Xue gets over this gloomy time, she must be in no mood to be a monster.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Ruan Xue's incident was talked about by everyone and gradually lost its popularity.
Ruan Xue also got better day by day because she threw away the sachet at home, and her symptoms of retching improved significantly.
This story was about to be turned over, but a week later, it appeared in the newspaper in the form of insinuations.
In the daily life of college students, in addition to studying, reading newspapers is essential.
Usually several people discuss it, buy different newspapers, and then exchange them.
On that day, major newspapers simultaneously published an article in a prominent position titled "Suspicious of the Misdemeanors in the Private Lives of Rich Second-Generation Female College Students."
Although the article does not include her real name, students from Nancheng University who read this article will automatically think that the girl written in this article is Ruan Xue.
It also included a background introduction to the female college student’s family. Even people in the business district guessed that she was the daughter of the Ruan family.
When Su Mo brought the newspaper to Gu Anran to read, Gu Anran was thinking: Isn't this a crime committed against the wind? He actually sold the news to the newspaper! He just had to reveal his name! Aren't you afraid of the Ruan family's revenge?
However, the Ruan family really didn't dare to jump out and make any accusations about this matter. After all, the article used pseudonyms. If the Ruan family jumped out, it would be self-reporting, which would only make it more embarrassing.
Can the Ruan family swallow this? If they don’t attack head-on, they will investigate behind the scenes. Who would take such a big risk to do such a thing?
A few days later, the questions lingering in Gu Anran's mind were solved.
Headlines in major newspapers rushed to report: The Ruan family will hold an engagement ceremony for their daughter and future son-in-law at the weekend.
Gu Anran immediately understood that it was Chu Yue who was behind the trouble! Chu Yue took advantage of the incident she had started and fermented it for a second time, prompting the Ruan family to take the form of asking them to get engaged immediately to suppress the rumors flying everywhere.
Rumors.
No wonder Chu Yue would help her destroy the evidence! It turned out that he wanted to use this as a springboard to quickly jump into the Ruan family's high threshold.
On Friday, Gu Anran met Ruan Boyan waiting for her at the door of her home.
Ruan Boyan gave her a dress and an invitation, "This is an invitation to my sister and Chu Yue's engagement celebration. My sister asked me to give it to you. She hopes you can go."
Gu Anran stared at the invitation and her heart beat: Which song is this from?
