Gu Susu shook her head desperately, "You're crazy, hurry back, you can still fix this... I never thought that..."
Qin Tianyi didn't let her finish. He grabbed the hair at the back of her head and kissed her lips with his own burning ones.
Gu Susu's eyes widened, wanting only to break free.
But Qin Tianyi's kisses grew more fervent, more greedy. He didn't believe her words and was desperate to prove something.
Gu Susu's hair hurt from his grip, and she couldn't speak from his kiss. Unable to bear it, she slapped him.
The slap seemed to awaken him. He released Gu Susu, said nothing, started the car, and slammed the accelerator.
The car sped off, its speed quickly exceeding one hundred kilometers per hour.
Gu Susu fumbled to fasten her seatbelt, only to find Qin Tianyi wasn't wearing his and was still accelerating.
"Qin Tianyi! This is the city, not a race track! Stop, just stop!"
"Shut up!"
She watched as he ran two red lights in a row, narrowly missing oncoming cars and pedestrians. Terrified, she held her breath, wondering when he would stop being so insane.
He sped all the way and then braked sharply, stopping the car beneath the apartment building where she used to live.
Fortunately, she had fastened her seatbelt. Otherwise, when Qin Tianyi stopped, she might have flown straight through the windshield.
Qin Tianyi quickly got out of the car. She sat in the passenger seat, still shaken, not moving.
"Get out." Qin Tianyi opened her door, but she remained frozen, showing no reaction.
Qin Tianyi bent down, half his body inside the car, unbuckled her seatbelt, and tried to pull her out.
Gu Susu came to her senses and wildly swung her bag at him, "Qin Tianyi... If you want to die, go die alone! Why drag me into it... I don't want to die! You lunatic, get away from me, don't touch me!"
Qin Tianyi snatched her bag and threw it aside. He simply picked her up and carried her out of the car, warning her in a low voice, "If you dare hit me again, I'll kiss you a hundred times! If you dare call me a lunatic again, I'll show you what a lunatic is and make sure you never get out of bed!"
Gu Susu's face instantly turned red. Embarrassed and resentful, she stared at him, helpless as he carried her back into the apartment.
He carried her into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed, demanding, "You came all the way to the wedding, hiding in a corner to watch, doesn't that mean you can't let go of me?"
Gu Susu sat up, wanting only to escape. She retreated backward fearfully, "I didn't, and I didn't want to watch."
She felt that no matter how many mouths she had, she couldn't explain this.
"You deliberately came to provoke me, and now you deny it, trying to clear yourself." Qin Tianyi said, irritably undoing his tie and taking off his suit jacket. With a grim expression, he scanned her from head to toe, unceremoniously moved towards her, and sneered, "Gu Susu, I've realized you're very good at playing hard to get with men."
Gu Susu lowered her head, refusing to look at him. Clutching her collar, she said with a sob, "I didn't, I really didn't."
Seeing her growing fear of him, he became even more enraged, feeling like a complete madman.
He had offended the Shu family and Shu Zhongze completely for this woman, and called off the wedding.
When he set off for the garden church, he had already made up his mind, forgotten this woman entirely, and prioritized the group's interests. Marrying Shu Yan or anyone else was fine, as she would no longer be in his heart.
But as he walked into the church, he saw her silhouette following the priest from the corner of his eye, and he recognized her.
She had come, she had come to his wedding. His heart wavered in an instant.
Just as the priest asked him if he was willing, he had gone mad. He followed his heart, casting aside all thoughts of group interests and the promises he had made to his grandfather.
No matter the consequences, he just wanted to tell this woman that in the future, regardless of wealth or status, he only wanted to be with her!
Looking at her reaction now, his anger surged. He tore open her collar, holding onto a sliver of hope, not believing her words, believing her body was more honest.
He pinned her hands behind her back, pushed aside the long hair on her neck, and kissed her possessively.
Gu Susu trembled. The memory of their previous encounter made her resist fearfully, "We can't do this... we can't... we already have our own lives. Miss Shu loves you very much, and I have Si Jie Ge Ge, he's still waiting for me..."
What started as a kiss, Qin Tianyi suddenly became fierce and bit her neck hard.
Gu Susu's pain was so intense that tears streamed down her face. Qin Tianyi then released her, pinched her chin, and said, "I find you dirty." He then pushed her away.
She quickly got off the bed, turned her back to him, and wiped away her tears.
Qin Tianyi's lips curved into a mocking smile. "Si Jie Ge Ge? I've already investigated. Your Si Jie Ge Ge is not a good person at all. He's a hypocritical scoundrel, pretending to be a humble and magnanimous gentleman in front of you!"
Gu Susu turned around cautiously and asked, "What have you found out? No matter how you slander him, I won't believe it."
Her unconditional trust in Yang Sijie drove him to extreme madness. He firmly gripped one of her hands and said disdainfully, "Do you think I, Qin Tianyi, would slander others? You underestimate me. Everything I've found out is the truth. He's done anything and everything to seize family assets abroad; even describing him as having a tarnished record wouldn't be an exaggeration."
Gu Susu was not surprised at all. She said calmly, "For the sake of defeating Qin Tianlang and seizing all of the Qin family's assets, wasn't your own approach very upright? Don't all these wealthy family power struggles play out the same way? What right do you have to accuse him?"
"I'm not like him!" Qin Tianyi raised his voice and glared at her.
Gu Susu said calmly, "I don't care what he did abroad. In my heart, he will always be that kind Si Jie Ge Ge who always protected me."
"Idiot, people change." Qin Tianyi pulled her hand tighter. "You don't know what he's been through abroad, what he's become..."
Gu Susu felt like her hand was about to break. "Enough, he won't change for me!"
"Then do you know that besides you, he's also the financial backer for Sasha, the most popular actress right now?" Qin Tianyi retorted. "Do you know that before he came to Lancheng, he had already planned everything, acquiring Yi Mei, controlling Ai Shi... you and your family are all in the palm of his hand?"
Gu Susu was shocked.
Seeing her reaction, Qin Tianyi said with a laugh, "It seems you know nothing. Didn't your Si Jie Ge Ge tell you these things?"
"That's impossible, Sasha is Mark's person..." Gu Susu said, then realized what kind of person Mark was. How could he possibly support a star like Sasha?
