CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 316: WILL HE REALLY NOT MIND?

Gu Beichuan suddenly burst into laughter... Truly feeling that destiny itself is actually a joke.

And they, these common beings, are nothing more than weak creatures being toyed with in the palm of destiny.

Confronted with such a question from Gu Beichuan, Xing Chen was not as angry as one might have imagined.

He calmed his mind, released his grip from Gu Beichuan’s collar, and slowly stepped back.

Still maintaining his cold and aloof demeanor, looking down at the man in front of him with a chaotic gaze, Xing Chen had already regained his usual composure, speaking indifferently as always, "Xiangsi won’t know about everything that happened last night. I can pretend it never happened... But you, if it weren’t for Chunyi’s upcoming election, I would have ended you with my own hands right now."

Xiahou Chunyi’s election was tied to many families. Xing Chen, being a calm person by nature, would never make things difficult for Xiahou Chunyi at such a critical moment.

Thus, he had long figured out a solution.

"Last night has passed, and everything about the Gu Family is gone. Later, someone will arrange for you to leave the country. Without my permission, don’t think about stepping into A City again!"

"What? You... destroyed my Gu Family? And you want to destroy me? Xing Chen! You can’t do this! Where did you take my mother?" Gu Beichuan became agitated, never expecting Xing Chen to be so ruthless!

It was just one night, could he really have destroyed the Gu Family?

If it were someone else saying this, Gu Beichuan wouldn’t believe it at all!

But since the words came from Xing Chen’s mouth, he had no choice but to believe it!

Xing Chen merely turned away, not bothering to mention last night’s events, "If you dare to speak about last night’s events, next year, prepare to light incense at your mother’s grave."

His voice, though melodious to the ears, was mixed with countless threats!

Gu Beichuan finally shut his mouth... He was no longer arrogant, as he no longer had even the slightest bit of arrogance left!

Xing Chen was a man of his word, it seemed the Gu Family was truly...

...

Whatever the two inside the room continued discussing, Ran Xiangsi could no longer bear to listen.

She turned around woodenly, wiping away the crisscrossing tears on her face, took a deep breath, and walked towards an empty spot.

Every step she took was so difficult, as if her entire being was floating, without any semblance of gravity.

She clenched her teeth, forbidding herself from crying out loud, she clenched her fists tightly, refusing to break down...

The juxtaposition of extreme joy and sorrow came so swiftly.

So, last night she really was... by Gu Beichuan...

Xing Chen said nothing had happened in order to protect herself.

He wanted to use that one sentence to preserve her purity, to keep her courage to live.

Ran Xiangsi understood everything he did.

But... would he really not mind?

She was already tainted, yet he still chose to protect her, pretending as if nothing had happened!

In the end, is she the foolish one, or is Xing Chen?

Ran Xiangsi lowered her head to look at herself, and her tears finally broke free.

The despair following the loss of hope is indescribably devastating!!

When she had finally climbed to the clouds, thinking she was so happy, she was struck down into the abyss of darkness by the hand of destiny.

She so wanted to struggle, so wanted to rise again, but it was all in vain.

She hated!

Hated those who had harmed her!

Yes!

Lou Xinyu, Ran Yingqian, Gu Beichuan...

You three, I won’t let a single one of you off!!
