“As for the betrayal you mentioned, you’re right, I did indeed betray him while we were together. But why I betrayed him, you know better than 1 do. Gu Qianci, I believed that when I was with Su Chengyan, 1 was true to the world, true to my own conscience. And you? Were you true to me?”
“It’s been a long time since all that happened, and I’ve broken up with Mr. Su long ago. 1 don’t want to discuss with you anymore who deserved what back then, just please, Miss Gu, if it’s not necessary, don’t contact me again. 1 have a heart of stone, and it wouldn’t be good if 1 accidentally hurt your pure love.”
Having said that, she grabbed her bag and left.
Gu Qianci watched her leave from behind, tilted her head back to finish her coffee, then pulled a cigarette out of her bag and lit it. She had just taken a puff when tears suddenly fell.
She bowed her head, biting her red lips, and buried her face between her knees so that no one could see her fragile state.
After a while, she finally got her emotions under control, and when she looked up again, she had regained her seductive and delicate appearance. She wasn’t in a hurry to leave and took her cosmetics out of her bag first, looking at the scars on her face in a small mirror. Then she applied BB cream to the scars and completely covered them with concealer. After that, she patted on some blush to make her complexion look better, patted her face, packed up her makeup, and casually stuffed the napkins on the table into her bag. Only then did she stand up, leaving the cafe with all the elegance of a city beauty.
On the way back, Chi Enen was not in a good mood, feeling as if there were a stone pressing on her chest.
The words of Gu Qianci kept playing in her mind, as if on purpose, tearing open old wounds over and over.
Upset, she was not in a hurry to go home.
Looking at the time and seeing it was still early, she decided to visit the market first.
People at the market already recognized her, and the elder men and women would ask why Baby Chi hadn’t come along. They would even give her some of the vegetables they were selling, telling her to take them home for Baby Chi to eat.
Unable to resist their kindness, Chi Enen could only thank them while trying her best to buy some vegetables from their stalls.
By the time she had bought enough vegetables for the next two days, she was feeling much better. She carried her bags and walked toward the community.
Just as she arrived at the community entrance, she saw a large crowd gathered, discussing something inside.
“Look at that car, I’ve seen it on television, must be expensive, right?”
“Definitely! I remember my son mentioned it’s some brand or other. Anyway, it’s a brand produced overseas, so expensive it’s frightening!”
“Who brought such an expensive car to our community? It’s been here quite awhile, and they haven’t gotten out.”
“They must be waiting for someone, right? Tsk, look at their driver, the bodyguard, dressed better than my son’s boss. Can’t imagine how wealthy the person inside must be.”
Luxury car, bodyguard, driver…
And it just so happened to be at the unit block of their community.
Chi Enen’s heart skipped a beat, a thought surfacing.
Despite saying that, she felt uneasy.
She skirted around the gossiping crowd and squeezed in.
As soon as she got in, someone greeted her with surprise, “Miss Chi.”
Chi Enen followed the sound and sure enough, she saw Huo Yi, in his neat suit, walking toward her—
She instinctively looked towards the closed stretch Lincoln!
If Huo Yi was here, then the person sitting inside was…
