Chapter 597: Which you is the real you? Chapter 597: Which you is the real you? “Your grandfather and father entrusted you with the company, and you must show them results. Recently, Chongguang has had many issues, causing dissatisfaction among the family members.
Xinyan is very talented in design. She’s almost certain to win this competition. Once she receives the award at the ceremony, her fame will not only skyrocket in the domestic market but internationally as well.
By then, the status of the Gu Family will naturally rise with her. Just imagine how the Gu Family will be regarded in Yong City. Marrying Xinyan is a blessing for you and for the Gu Family. You must not act foolishly and do anything rash at this time.”
Gu Heng listened to Deng Jingru’s words in silence, not saying a word.
“Gu Heng, Gu Heng, are you listening to me?”
Gu Heng bitterly closed his eyes and hoarsely said:
“That’s good. Don’t dawdle, hurry to the hospital. I heard that Xinyan didn’t wake up until this morning, obviously she was extremely upset. It’s all because of Su Ran, who actually did something like that at your wedding; I don’t know how the Su Family raises their daughters.”
Deng Jingru now only harbored resentment toward Su Ran. Any semblance of guilt she once felt had long since evaporated.
Gu Heng clenched his fists and rubbed his weary brow.
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the towering building in front of him, his eyes filled with endless desolation and helplessness.
Finally, he slowly turned around and left Qianran International.
Su Xinyan sat up in bed, repeatedly dialing Gu Heng’s number on her phone, only to find it turned off each time.
Her heart was filled with anxiety and unease as she kept refreshing the news on her phone.
The news was all about the incident at the wedding the day before. The fervor hadn’t died down at all overnight, in fact, due to some manipulations, it continued unabated.
Her public image had collapsed, becoming a joke throughout the internet.
However, just then, a new trending topic appeared–Gu Heng, looking utterly devastated at the foot of the Qianran International building.
There were videos and photos as evidence, irrefutable.
Su Xinyan suddenly sat up straight, her hand clutching the phone trembling, her eyes fixed intently on the content on the screen, her face pale with anger and contorted in fury.
Unable to bear it any longer, she smashed her phone violently to the ground.
With a dark expression, her face nearly frenzied and twisted, her chest heaved violently with extreme anger.
Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong shuddered, their hearts “thumping” in fear, immediately looking up at Su Xinyan.
“Xinyan, what’s wrong?”
Tan Lirong frowned at Su Xinyan, and the next second, Su Xinyan suddenly buried her face in her hands and started crying.
Wen Peipei glanced at the phone Su Xinyan had thrown onto the floor and made eye contact with Tan Lirong. Seeing this, Tan Lirong quickly pulled out her own phone.
Upon opening Weibo, she immediately saw the news, her face turning sour.
“This… this is too much!”
Wen Peipei’s face was stern as she coldly said, “What’s going on?”
Tan Lirong handed over her phone, grinding her teeth in anger.
Wen Peipei frowned as she took the cellphone, and her expression darkened when she saw the content on the screen.
“How utterly outrageous!”
Hearing this, Su Xinyan immediately burst into tears, completely heartbroken.
Wen Peipei threw the cell phone into Tan Lirong’s lap and angrily sat down on the sofa beside her.
“The Gu Family is just too much. Brother Heng just married Xinyan yesterday, and she fainted without even showing her face. Then this news breaks early in the morning! What is he trying to do? Reunite with that scourge? Or is he deliberately trying to embarrass the Su Family? Where does he put the reputation of both families?”
Su Xinyan clutched her chest, gasping for air through her tears, her pale and beautiful face streaked with two lines of tears.
“Grandma, what should I do? We only got married yesterday, and Brother Heng… what does he want to do?”
Wen Peipei’s face was dark as she said, “Don’t worry, I will make sure he gives you an explanation for this. Do you think the Su Family can be easily bullied and manipulated?”
There was silence in the hospital room, with only Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong wearing cold expressions, and the sound of Su Xinyan’s sobbing.
The door to the hospital room was pushed open from the outside. The three of them looked up and saw Gu Heng standing at the doorway, haggard and indifferent.
Seeing Gu Heng’s detached expression, Su Xinyan’s heart skipped a beat; her pale face brightened with joy.
“Brother Heng, you’re finally here, finally come to see me…”
She abruptly sat up from the hospital bed, looking at Gu Heng with excitement and urgency.
Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong also stood up from the sofa, and Tan Lirong couldn’t hold back her anger, confronting Gu Heng directly.
“Gu Heng, you’re married to Xinyan now, and that comes with added responsibilities. Not only did you not stay by her side while she’s in the hospital, but you also ran off to find Su Ran early in the morning. Just look at what the internet is saying, they’re saying you went to get back together with Su Ran! By doing this, how do you think outsiders will view Xinyan? How will they view the Su Family and the Gu Family?”
Gu Heng stood quietly, his face cold, as if deaf to Tan Lirong’s words.
Seeing Gu Heng’s impervious demeanor, Wen Peipei snorted coldly.
“The two of you are not children anymore. Think about the consequences before you act. Marriage isn’t something you can take lightly. Once married, you must keep to your duty and lead a good life.”
Gu Heng remained unmoved by the words, leaving Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong frustrated. They turned and left the room, giving the two some space.
The door closed, and Su Xinyan hurriedly got out of bed, stumbling toward Gu Heng and clutching him tightly.
“Brother Heng, please don’t be angry, okay? I’ll apologize to sister and beg for her forgiveness. I’ll do anything, just don’t ignore me, okay?”
Gu Heng said nothing, gently pushing her away with his hand. Su Xinyan felt a tightening in her heart, hugging his waist even tighter.
“Brother Heng, don’t push me away. We just got married, don’t push me away now. I know I shouldn’t have sent that message to sister. I really had no ill intentions. It’s just that sister has been making things difficult for me lately, and I couldn’t take it anymore, so… It’s all my fault, won’t you forgive me?”
Gu Heng closed his eyes and let out a bitter laugh.
“Forgive you? What right do I have to forgive you?”
Su Xinyan looked at Gu Heng with teary eyes, her fear reaching its peak.
The Gu Heng before her felt unfamiliar to the extreme, his thoughts completely unreadable.
“But Xinyan, which one of you is the real you?”
At that, all the color drained from Su Xinyan’s face. Her heart clenched tight, and she nearly collapsed to the floor.
“Brother Heng, what do you mean by that?”
Her gaze shifted away, afraid to meet Gu Heng’s eyes, worried that the panic she couldn’t hide would be seen by him.
