At this moment, they had walked to the door of the room upstairs. Yang Sijie said calmly, "She and I are not what you think..."
"It's okay, I understand," Gu Susu said calmly. "Since you are already with her, you should be responsible for her. I will leave when your injuries heal. You don't need to explain too much to me."
As she spoke, she reached out to push open the door. Yang Sijie said anxiously, "Listen to me, I kept Sasha back then only because she looked like you. Now that you are back by my side, I will have nothing more to do with her."
Gu Susu recalled that when she and Lu Zhiming delivered the wedding dress to Sasha's house that day, even Lu Zhiming had said that Sasha looked a bit like her.
She didn't know what to say to Yang Sijie. She pushed open the door and said, "Brother Sijie, let's not talk about this. You should still be careful about the wound on your back. Lie down and let me apply medicine for you."
Yang Sijie did not know what Qin Tianyi had said to her. He was afraid of losing her. He ignored the wound on his back, grabbed her shoulders forcefully, and wished he could swear to the heavens, "Believe me, from beginning to end, my heart has only been for you!"
Gu Susu was afraid that his excitement would affect his injuries, so she quickly said, "I believe you."
Yang Sijie embraced her tightly again and said, "Don't leave me. Promise me, we will be together forever, never to be separated again! Promise me!"
However, in his heart, he gritted his teeth, vowing never to let Qin Tianyi off. Nothing could stand between him and Susu!
Gu Susu closed her eyes and said, "I... I promise, but can you stop targeting Qin Tianyi's Aoxiang Group?"
Yang Sijie's body stiffened slightly. What else had she found out? He had no idea, but he immediately agreed verbally, "Okay."
When Yang Sijie finally agreed to lie on the bed and let her apply medicine, she saw that the scabbed areas on his back had cracked and were bleeding.
She quickly informed Allen about the condition of Yang Sijie's wound and urged him.
Allen quickly arrived and personally treated the worsening areas of Yang Sijie's wound.
Gu Susu took the opportunity to leave the room and hid in the kitchen, wanting to be alone.
But as soon as she quieted down, her mind was filled with the image of Qin Tianyi walking towards her desperately in the church, making her heart ache so much she could barely breathe.
Even though she had promised Yang Sijie, her heart still couldn't let go of Qin Tianyi.
In the following week, Shu's Group quickly recalled and terminated several cooperation projects with Aoxiang Group.
At the critical moment of Aoxiang Group's acquisition battle with Ai's, its capital chain was on the verge of breaking. It was in a state of internal and external distress, and any slight misstep could lead to its complete collapse and irreversible ruin.
The outside world knew that Qin Tianyi had suddenly gone back on his word on the wedding day, completely offending Shu Zhongze. Coupled with the suspension of several major projects, Aoxiang's stock price was falling every day.
Suppliers for those projects all flocked to the group, demanding payment. Xiao Anjing was overwhelmed dealing with them.
Qin Tianyi, on the other hand, was preoccupied with finding new partners to continue the halted projects. He was also troubled, but he did not regret breaking off the engagement at all. At least his heart was no longer conflicted.
In the Shu family's villa, Shu Yan had been confined to her room for seven days without leaving.
Qin Tianyi's breaking of the engagement in the church in front of all the guests and then leaving with another woman was a humiliation like a nightmare to her.
She had never suffered such a severe blow in her life. She felt as if she had been hit by a cannonball, completely shattered, and beyond repair.
Huo Jin was also attending the ceremony at the church alone. Chang Qingchuan, who disliked Shu Yan very much, did not go to the wedding venue with her.
When she saw Qin Tianyi break off the engagement, she knew without a doubt how distressed Shu Yan would be.
However, after that, she had called Shu Yan's phone many times, wanting to comfort her, but Shu Yan had not answered.
After all, they were best friends for many years. She couldn't just stand by and watch Shu Yan go through such a thing. She just wanted to comfort Shu Yan and make her feel less miserable.
"Auntie, how has Shu Yan been these days? I've called her so many times, but she either doesn't answer or her phone is off." Huo Jin arrived at the Shu residence. Shu Zhongze was not at home, only Jia Nanfang was sighing in the living room.
When Jia Nanfang saw Huo Jin, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She took Huo Jin's hand and said, "Yan'er is not well. She hasn't eaten much since returning from the wedding and hasn't left her room. Her father and I have taken turns persuading her, but she acts as if she doesn't hear us. What can we do? We're worried she might do something foolish, so someone has to stay home and watch her every day."
Huo Jin also felt sorry for Shu Yan and said, "Auntie, I'd like to go up and see her to see if I can persuade her."
"That would be great." Jia Nanfang gratefully patted her hand. "If you can persuade her and talk to her, maybe this child can stop being stubborn and turn around. What's so good about that Qin Tianyi? I never liked him from the start. He's so cold, and you can tell he's not someone who understands warmth and care. I don't know how this child became so set on marrying someone like him. It's also her father's fault; he always praised Qin Tianyi, saying he was bold, capable, and a rare talent among the younger generation. But my Yan'er needs a husband who can cherish her, not a business partner. It's my fault too..."
As she spoke, Jia Nanfang couldn't continue and started to cry. Huo Jin comforted her first, "Auntie, no one can predict matters of the heart. But I believe that after this incident, Shu Yan won't be so infatuated anymore."
"I hope so," Jia Nanfang released Huo Jin's hand and resumed her elegant smile. "Go and persuade her quickly."
"Okay." Huo Jin walked directly to Shu Yan's room.
She stood at the door and knocked lightly a few times. There was no response from inside. Just as she was about to knock again, she noticed the door was ajar.
Outside, the sun was bright, but the room was dark, with the curtains tightly drawn.
Shu Yan lay on the bed, covering herself from head to toe with the quilt.
Huo Jin walked to the bedside, unsure if she was asleep or awake.
She had never thought that Shu Yan and Qin Tianyi would be a good match. A man's feelings for you can be known just by looking into his eyes.
But Shu Yan had become obsessed with Qin Tianyi. The Shu family wanted a capable son-in-law, and Shu Yan had also deceived herself, hoping that her marriage to Qin Tianyi was to defeat her elder brothers and sisters.
In fact, only Huo Jin knew that Shu Yan was madly in love with Qin Tianyi.
When they were young, there were four major families in Lancheng: the Xiao family, the Qin family, the Shu family, and the Huo family.
At that time, these families were equally powerful, standing in a triangular balance, and had intricate blood or marital ties among them.
