C32 (1/2)

It was cool and refreshing, with a faint smell of cigarette smoke, but it didn't make anyone feel disgusted. Yu Huan stood at the side, quietly looking at him, making guesses in her heart.

Why did he suddenly kiss her? Didn't they say that they were getting married soon?

”Wa, if I did something to hurt you one day, would you hate me?” Under the moonlight, his eyes were gloomy and his tone was tinged with sadness.

Yu Huan was stunned. She didn't know what kind of injury he was referring to.

Gu Dongcheng ruthlessly curled his lips. How could she not hate him? But now, he was afraid. He didn't even dare to think about the hatred in her eyes.

”Yes.” Only after a long while did she answer, saying that it would not be a lie. After all, Gu Dongcheng had an influence in her heart, so no matter what, it would affect her.

”I understand. It's already very late, let's go back and rest.” He turned to leave.

Yu Huan grabbed his hand, a trace of nervousness on her face. ”What exactly do you mean?”

”Nothing.” His tone was flat as he replied, but his hands were clenched into fists. He had long since lost all qualifications to make any promises to her.

Yu Huan lowered her eyes. Disappointment filled her eyes. She let go of his hand and watched him leave.

One muddleheaded day, Yu Huan was lying on the balcony railing as she looked at the sky. Her face was filled with desolation.

”Elder sister, I've cut some fruits.” An obedient voice came from behind her.

Yu Huan turned her head to look at Yu Jin, who was standing to the side and smiling at her. She frowned for a moment, then she took a piece of Fire Dragon Fruit from her plate and took a bite.

”I don't think I saw Aunt Lan these days.” In truth, it was just a casual question. After all, she wanted Aunt Lan to never come back.

Yu Jin sat on a nearby chair, her face revealing her worry, ”Sis, don't tell me you don't know about dad's company?”

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment. She immediately felt uneasy in her heart. She thought back to what Yu Chenlei had said to her yesterday. Was there really a problem with the company?

”What's wrong with the company?”

”Sealed.” Yu Jin sighed, her face full of worry. ”Mom and dad are here, so think of a way. I hope someone can help.”

”Why was it sealed?” She really didn't expect such a thing to happen. The company had been quiet for the past few years, so what had happened?

”I'm not sure. I only know that it was a decision by the newly appointed mayor. Oh yeah, elder sister, the man you brought home last time seemed to resemble the mayor …”

Yu Huan's mind went blank for a moment, and her face turned deathly pale. Why would it be him in Eastern Gu City?

She trembled, her face revealing a look of disbelief. ”It's really him?”

”Elder sister, what's wrong?” Yu Jin asked carefully with a puzzled look on her face.

No wonder he had asked her yesterday if she hated him.

No, no, no matter what she said, she had to get to the bottom of things. She did not believe that it was due to the direct cause of the company, so the only explanation she could come up with was clearly someone framing them.

She was slapped to the side, her face burning with pain.

”Stupid girl!” Do you want to tear this house apart? ”Tell me, are you the one who joined up with outsiders to deal with this family?” Aunt Lan's eyes were red with anger. She grabbed Yu Huan's hair and asked angrily.

”Mom, what are you doing?” Yu Jin screamed and went to pull Aunt Lan.

”Scram to the side, I want to teach this damned girl a lesson!” Her family is going to be ruined, you know? ” Aunt Lan yelled in anger, tugging at Yu Huan's hair with all her might, refusing to let go.

”Everyone stop!” A furious roar rang out, causing everyone to stop pushing and shoving.

Aunt Lan angrily let go of Yu Huan and gave her a push. Yu Huan staggered a few steps back. Her hair was in disarray and she was in a sorry state. When she saw Yu Chenlei, her eyes reddened and she almost cried.

”Master! It's all this damned girl's fault, otherwise would our company become like this? ” Aunt Lan opened her mouth angrily. Her face was full of disgust.

Yu Chenlei didn't say anything. She silently looked at Yu Huan and sighed before she strode towards them, ”This isn't the reason for Huanhuan's anger. Why are you trying to vent your anger on her?”

”It was clearly her who lured Gu Dongcheng here! Old master, our company is almost done for, yet you're still favoring her! ” Aunt Lan gritted her teeth as she scolded Yu Huan.

”I already said it has nothing to do with Huanhuan! What are you saying? ”

Aunt Lan stared coldly at Yu Huan. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness as she dragged Yu Jin away.

Yu Chenlei only stepped forward and patted Yu Huan's shoulder after they had all left, ”Huanhuan, don't think too much into it. These aren't your reasons.”

Yu Huan's eyes were filled with grievance. She raised her head to look at Yu Chenlei and asked hoarsely, ”Dad, was it really all done by Gu Dong Cheng?”

Yu Chenlei's face revealed a hint of vicissitudes as she let out a deep sigh, ”Huanhuan, don't meddle in this matter anymore. I just hope that you'll be happy in the future.”

Yu Huan's hand tightened. Was everything that Yu Chenlei had said true? Was it really done by Gu Dong City?
