"Who is Mark, that he can afford a kept woman? Sasha is the woman Yang Sijie bought and kept since he was young," Qin Tianyi said with a cold laugh. "And this is only what I've found out. What about what I haven't?"
Gu Susu was startled, but quickly calmed down. In fact, as she spent time with Yang Sijie, she had a vague feeling that he might have gone through a lot during the years they were apart.
Although Yang Sijie always said he was doing well whenever Gu Susu asked, she had wondered if he was just saying pleasant things to deceive her.
For children like them, who were orphaned and grew up in orphanages with no one to rely on, how many truly managed to live well? They all had to endure untold hardships on their own to achieve the lives they desired.
She just didn't understand why Yang Sijie had everything planned out before coming to Lancheng. He had started his business abroad, and his roots should be there. Did he have some grand plan in coming to Lancheng?
"Yang Sijie's acquisition of Yimei and his cooperation with Ai Corporation were not for business considerations, so what is this planning?"
Qin Tianyi saw that Gu Susu didn't seem to mind Yang Sijie having other women. This childhood sweetheart relationship was truly invincible.
He knew the real reason Yang Sijie had everything planned before coming to Lancheng, but he wouldn't tell Gu Susu.
"Of course, it's a commercial plan, nothing more than wanting to control the entire Lancheng business world."
Gu Susu asked abruptly, "Will this hinder you from regaining control of that financial center with the golden dome?"
Qin Tianyi fell silent.
But Gu Susu already had her answer. She tried to pull her hand away, "Are you finished talking? If you are, can I leave now?"
Qin Tianyi looked at Gu Susu, his whole body feeling as if he were being pierced by ice. He slowly released her hand. kanδん
Gu Susu immediately got off the bed and hurried to leave. As she opened the bedroom door and Qin Tianyi didn't stop her, she turned back and said to him, "I can see that Shu Yan loves you very much. Go find Shu Yan now and apologize to her father. There might still be a chance to salvage this."
Qin Tianyi felt his blood freeze. He had already turned his back to her, not looking at her, and coldly replied with a single word, "Get out."
Gu Susu practically ran out of the apartment. It wasn't until she was inside the elevator that she leaned against the wall, covering her face and bursting into tears.
Since she had promised to take care of Yang Sijie until he recovered from his injuries, she couldn't break her word. After that, she had made her own decision.
As for Qin Tianyi, he should continue to pursue his dreams and not leave any regrets in his life because of her.
Qin Tianyi knew she had left decisively. In a fit of rage, he smashed everything in the bedroom.
Perhaps before, he didn't know he had fallen in love with her, nor was he willing to admit this fact.
But it was only now, only today, that he understood this woman was like his blood and marrow, impossible to carve out or forget.
The most ridiculous thing was that from beginning to end, she was never willing to be with him. All their entanglement and deep affection were ultimately his one-sided desire!
Her heart had always been only for her Sijie brother. How could he compare to the affection they had shared since childhood?
He understood all the logic, but he couldn't let go. He wanted to confine her to his side, yet he couldn't bear to clip her wings.
...
Gu Susu walked out of the building where the apartment was located. She had intended to find a place to be alone for a while before going to Yang Sijie's villa. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
But after walking only a few steps on the street, a car drove onto the road beside her and followed her at a slow speed. The person inside rolled down the window and called out to her, "Miss Gu, please get in."
Gu Susu turned to look. The driver was Mark.
She said indifferently, "I want to be alone for a while. I'll go over myself later."
Mark persisted, "Mr. Yang is waiting for you. He's very worried about you."
Gu Susu realized that Yang Sijie must have known that Qin Tianyi had taken her away from the wedding today.
She stopped walking and faced Mark in the car, asking, "Is Sasha your girlfriend, or is she Sijie's woman?"
Mark didn't answer her. He said with a troubled expression, "Miss Gu, please get in the car first. I'll tell you once you're in. But if you don't come back with me, Mr. Yang will fire me directly. I can't lose this job. Without this job, there's only a dead end."
Gu Susu also knew that Mark was just following Yang Sijie's orders. It was useless to make things difficult for him or force him to reveal Yang Sijie's secrets.
She opened the rear door and got in.
Mark said gratefully, "Thank you."
Gu Susu didn't ask him anything else, looking out the car window.
Mark drove and said, "Miss Gu, I can only tell you that Mr. Yang loves you very much, and everything he does is for you."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Susu had long understood that there were no perfect people in this world, nor were there absolute good or bad people.
She knew that Yang Sijie hadn't had an easy time abroad all these years. He was a capable man, and it wasn't strange for him to have women around him. She just didn't understand why he hadn't told her the truth.
When they returned to the villa, Yang Sijie showed a look of relief and joy upon seeing her.
When something happened at Qin Tianyi's wedding, Mark had called him immediately to report the situation.
The groom, Qin Tianyi, had run off with Gu Susu.
His first reaction was that Susu would fall back into Qin Tianyi's arms, and everything he had done would be in vain.
Gu Susu saw that he had left the room and was standing in the living room wearing only a coat.
She stepped forward and asked, "Sijie brother, why did you leave the room? Are your back wounds okay?"
Yang Sijie suddenly hugged her tightly, "I knew it. You wouldn't abandon me. You promised me you wouldn't be moved by that scumbag Qin Tianyi again."
Gu Susu didn't know how to answer him. She stood there stiffly without responding.
Mark, having completed Yang Sijie's instructions, quietly left the villa.
Yang Sijie sensed that something was wrong with Gu Susu. He released her and asked, "Susu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I was afraid you might hurt your wound. You should go back to your room and rest." Gu Susu said, intending to accompany him back to the room, and then asked, "Did Allen check your wounds today?"
"Not yet."
"Then let me apply the medicine for you first."
They went upstairs side by side. Yang Sijie turned his head and saw a row of distinct teeth marks on her fair neck. His heart ached as if it were about to split open. He asked, "Did Qin Tianyi bite you?"
"What?" Gu Susu didn't react immediately, but quickly realized what he was asking. She hurriedly covered the bitten part of her neck with her hand.
"He's a mad dog! Why is he so obsessed with you?" Yang Sijie said unhappily.
She explained, "He misunderstood. He thought I deliberately came to his wedding. I overslept and missed my appointment with a client. I had to deliver the dress to the client's requested location, and I didn't expect it to be the church where Qin Tianyi was getting married."
Yang Sijie had probably heard the situation from Mark and asked, "Was your client the female celebrity Sasha?"
"Yes," Gu Susu looked at him and said, "Sasha's relationship with you... I understand now."
