CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 205: CAN’T WAIT FOR THE WEDDING DAY

Gu Yikun never thought he would hear from her that she hates him.

He considered her as the only one. In front of her, he could let go of his pride and principles; as long as she liked it, anything was fine.

"An Junxi, how have I treated you? When have I, Gu Yikun, ever been so devoted to a woman, unwilling to let you suffer even a little? Only you! I promised you a wedding, and I didn’t break my word. Why did you have to leave before that day? Tell me!"

An Junxi hid far away, clutching the blanket tightly with her hands. "Because I don’t need you anymore, Gu Yikun."

Gu Yikun tried to approach her, but An Junxi retreated even further. "Don’t come any closer!"

The look in her eyes was no longer filled with infatuation and tenderness, but only rejection and unfamiliarity.

Gu Yikun’s restless heart gradually turned dead silent; he walked out of the room and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

An Junxi bit the blanket to keep herself from crying out loud.

She opened the wardrobe, found some clothes to put on, and realizing the door was not locked from the outside, she hurriedly escaped.

Gu Yikun was nowhere to be seen; she didn’t see him along the way.

Liang Huiyun blocked An Junxi in the hall and slapped her across the face. "Bitch!"

An Junxi’s face burned with pain. She calmly said, "This slap settles the score between us. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Gu Family."

She walked toward the exit, but Liang Huiyun grabbed her. "An Junxi, Yi Ke has been devoted to you. What more are you dissatisfied with to torture him like this?"

An Junxi sneered, "Mrs. Gu, you never considered me part of this family. Occasionally, when you were happy, you’d bestow me with a few things, hoping I’d obey you fully. I didn’t mind, but you really took me for a fool."

"What... What nonsense are you talking?" Liang Huiyun’s confidence wavered.

An Junxi mercilessly said, "I’m not smart, but I’m not stupid either. Find someone more obedient to be your daughter-in-law; I can’t serve such nobility."

She walked out the main door; Xiao Liu was waiting by the entrance with her bag, which he had retrieved from the hotel room.

An Junxi took her bag. She didn’t take Xiao Liu’s car; instead, she walked away step by step from the place.

Gu Yikun didn’t chase after her. He might really hate her to death.

An Junxi walked for who knows how long before she finally left the Gu family’s property. She took a taxi back to her neighborhood home. Gu Kuangxia called her again, saying her tactic of an extramarital affair might not be new, but it worked well on Gu Yikun.

An Junxi’s heart was already numb. She no longer wondered how Gu Kuangxia was monitoring her; she only cared about one thing: "How are my parents?"

"They’re eating and living well, very comfortable."

Gu Kuangxia let An Junxi listen to the voices of the two elderly people briefly, then said, "You will see them soon. Wait for my good news."

An Junxi sat wearily on the ground, praying in her heart for this disaster to end soon. She could hardly hold on any longer.

At the edge of an abandoned dock, Gu Kuangxia walked out of a dilapidated ship. The moment he stepped onto his homeland, he seemed to see the position of the Gu Family’s CEO beckoning to him.

Years ago, he had been sent to that hellhole in South Africa by Gu Yikun in disgrace. Now, he was finally back!

He would reclaim everything he had lost, and repay his nephew, who caused his downfall, tenfold!

His ride came quickly. Gu Kuangxia left three people on the ship and said, "Keep an eye on these two old folks. Follow my orders at any time. Don’t harm them; they’re still very useful."

The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would be within dozens of miles of this abandoned dock. Gu Yikun might be searching the world for him, but he wouldn’t expect he’s already back.

Bringing the two old folks back to the country carries great risk. Fortunately, his partner had a maritime route of his own, able to pass through customs. Though the ship they took was shabby, it managed to return.

To achieve great things, one must endure. What was a little humiliation?

His three subordinates obeyed and kept a close watch on the hostages.

Gu Kuangxia got into the car and said, "Seventh Uncle, elder brother, sister-in-law, after many years apart, I will soon give you a surprise!"

Gu Family Mansion.

Gu Qianlan burst into Gu Kuangyuan’s room without knocking. Seeing her aunt still looking at her design drafts, she furiously said, "Aunt, our family is in such turmoil, yet you still focus on your studio work!"

Gu Kuangyuan’s eyes were on the two design drafts. She was preparing for the next season’s Paris fashion design competition.

There were already plenty of people managing the family business. Her sister-in-law considered herself the family’s savior, demanding everyone’s obedience, leaving no room for an unmarried and disliked aunt like her to intervene.

"Isn’t your mother quite capable? Why come to me?"

Gu Qianlan said, "It’s all because of that An Junxi you’ve been protecting. Who else would cause trouble?"

Gu Kuangyuan didn’t take it seriously. Which couple doesn’t fight? With a mother-in-law like her sister-in-law, she would want a divorce too.

Seeing her aunt still indifferent, Gu Qianlan said, "Aunt, you always scold me. Do you think An Junxi is really that good? My brother and I caught her with a man in a hotel room, red-handed."

Gu Kuangyuan almost tore the paper with her pencil. It seemed the matter was more serious than she had imagined.

She couldn’t believe An Junxi would betray Yi Ke. There must be some misunderstanding.

Yi Ke, in his fury, was bound to lose his usual composure. If this continues, something major might happen between them.

She put down her pencil to change clothes. Seeing her aunt finally showing some concern, Gu Qianlan crossed her arms with a hint of provocation and said, "Even you misjudge people, right? My brother is about to burst with anger. Why don’t you go see him?"

Gu Kuangyuan quickly came out of her walk-in closet, ignored Qianlan’s mocking tone, picked up her phone, and was about to call An Junxi when someone called in.

She hadn’t saved this number, but these digits had been deeply imprinted in her mind. She would never forget them for the rest of her life.

She wanted to refuse the call, but her stiff fingers swiped in the wrong direction, and the call connected.

She walked to the balcony. Cheng Ye said, "Miss Gu, I’m going to visit Seventh Uncle at the hospital. Are you coming?"

Gu Kuangyuan didn’t want to go with him. She didn’t have the time right now, but she asked, "Why are you going to the hospital? Seventh Uncle needs to rest."

Her sister-in-law originally wanted to bring Seventh Uncle home, but given the ongoing turmoil in the family, they let him stay in the hospital for the time being.

"I heard Mrs. Gu is planning to get a divorce. As Seventh Uncle’s lawyer, I need to protect his interests. He has the right to know, and the company’s shares might be reallocated."

Gu Kuangyuan blurted out, "Don’t you think things are messy enough? Knowing Seventh Uncle can’t handle shocks, why would you... Why are you so heartless to everyone?"

Cheng Ye corrected her, "Miss Gu, aside from being heartless to opponents in court, when have I been heartless to anyone else?"
