Chapter 314 Disgusting
Xu Rou's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to begin, her mind a jumbled mess.
She began to regret her impulsiveness today. Why couldn't she have found out the situation first before coming over to question her?
Now, I'm like a greedy fisherman who wanted to catch everything in one net, but ended up with nothing.
A hush fell over the living room; the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Li Yan stood aside, quietly watching everything. Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions, including heartache for Gu Tingyu and helplessness towards Xu Rou.
Gu Tingyu took a deep breath, breaking the silence.
"Xu Rou, you can leave now. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I hope you'll think things through before you act in the future."
His voice was cold and resolute, without a trace of lingering affection.
Upon hearing Gu Tingyu's words, Xu Rou felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her body jolted violently.
She looked up at Gu Tingyu, tears welling up in her eyes.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to salvage the situation.
But seeing Gu Tingyu's cold eyes, she knew that everything was beyond redemption.
At this moment, Gu Tingyan, who had been standing to the side, watched Xu Rou's dejected figure.
A faint smile played on his lips as he spoke, seemingly out of kindness: "Xu Rou, don't rush off. Let me tell you the real reason why Zhou Zeran offended the big boss."
His voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet living room, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence.
Upon hearing Gu Tingyan's words, Xu Rou paused and slowly turned around.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face still had wet tear stains.
Looking at Gu Tingyan with a glimmer of hope mixed with resentment, she asked in a tearful voice, "What's the reason? I don't believe you'd tell the truth."
Gu Tingyan crossed his arms over his chest, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Believe it or not. Zhou Zeran, for the sake of his project, actually went so far as to seduce the wife of a big shot. Doesn't he even know his own limitations?"
As a result, he was caught in bed with his mistress by that big shot. You can imagine the scene.
In a fit of rage, the big boss beat him up and then used his influence in the industry to blacklist him from the entire sector. That was his fate.
After Gu Tingyan finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was admiring Xu Rou's reaction to the news.
Xu Rou's eyes widened, and her mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
"You're lying! How could you make up such a disgusting story to slander Zeran?"
Her body trembled slightly with anger, her hands clenched into fists as if she were trying to concentrate all her rage into them.
Gu Tingyan shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"I'm just telling you the truth out of kindness; it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Xu Rou refused to believe Gu Tingyan's words, thinking they were lies he had fabricated to make her give up completely.
She glared at Gu Tingyan fiercely, then turned and ran out crying.
Li Yan stood to the side, her eyes full of surprise.
She frowned, her eyes filled with doubt, and looked at Gu Tingyan, asking, "Tingyan, is this true or false? This is too shocking!"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Looking at Li Yan's questioning eyes, Gu Tingyan felt a pang of unease. He really didn't want to pollute Li Yan's ears with such sordid matters.
His eyes flickered, and he quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, it's hard to tell if these things are true or false, so let's just leave it alone."
