*BANG!* Someone broke down the door.
“Gu Man! Xi Cheng!” Han Yuan exclaimed. She was so angry at the scene before her that she was trembling. “Quick, separate them!”
“Ah!” Lin Yu cried out and went limp. Fortunately, a maid was there to hold her up. Tears streamed down Lin Yu’s face as she watched the household staff separate Xi Cheng and Gu Man in a flurry. She covered her mouth and turned to run off.
Han Yuan slapped Gu Man hard across the face, and Gu Man fell onto the sofa. She held a hand to her face and said tremblingly, “Godmother, 1—”
Han Yuan vibrated in anger as she demanded, “I know hes drunk to delirium, but what’s your excuse? Don’t tell me you’re also delirious! How could you?! Lin Yu is your best friend, and you want to snatch her husband? You’re even worse than Fang Xi!”
“Godmother!” Gu Man kneeled by Han Yuan’s feet and sobbed. “Godmother! It—
it wasn’t me! It was Xi Cheng! Xi Cheng, he, I—I couldn’t stop him..
Han Yuan stepped back, disdainfully avoiding Gu Man’s reaching hands, and sneered, “Oh? Are you saying he forced himself on you? If that’s so, don’t you know to call for help? Did that never occur to you? You saw an opportunity, so you simply went along with it! You’ve been eyeing Xi Cheng for a long time, haven’t you?”
“And poor Lin Yu treats you like her best friend. You disappoint me, Gu Man!
Someone, please see Miss Gu to the door. Don’t come around in the future, Miss Gu. The Xi family doesn’t welcome you!” That said, Han Yuan turned around and walked away. Gu Man sank to her knees in despair, her clothes drenched in sweat.
Xi Cheng lay at the side, completely drunk. When the household staff helped him up, he was still dazedly mumbling, “Don’t go, Fang Xi. Don’t go. Don’t leave me!” Gu Man’s heart froze and fell.
Han Yuan rushed to Lin Yu’s room, and her heart ached when she saw Lin Yu crying so hard that she was heaving. Lin Yu threw herself into Han Yuan’s arms, and Han Yuan comforted her, “There, there, don’t cry. It’s all Xi Cheng’s fault. Auntie will ask him to apologize to you.”
