Chapter 33: I Refuse

  Lin Yue'er was stunned, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

  Gu Xi Cen withdrew his gaze, "I don't like it when people scheme against the Gu family, and I won't let anyone harm my big brother." His protection of the Gu family and respect for Gu Wang Chuan were evident.

  Lin Yue'er's lips moved slightly, and she lowered her head silently, a bitter smile, "Hurt?"

  Nor did she know if it was because of the emotional repression for too long, or being accused by a temporary stranger, Gu's family member, that she forgot to be silent, forgot to be calm, slowly stretched out her hand to take off the collar on her neck, revealing the purple bruises there, and smiled, "After all, who is hurting whom?"

  When Gu Xi Cen saw the wound there, her eyes paused for a moment.

  "People all stand from their own perspective to understand the word 'hurt'." Lin Yue put down her collar, took a deep breath, and went upstairs.

  As expected, he still had the same blood flowing through his veins as Gu Wangchuan, always so high and mighty, inviolable, able to ignore facts and forever believe only in what he thought was right. But what could she say? Marrying Gu Wangchuan was her own choice, even if it would lead more people to misunderstand that she had ulterior motives, it wasn't anyone else's fault.

  Her eyes suddenly felt a little sour, and the initial burden had become increasingly powerless and sharp.

  She didn't know how long she could hold on in this environment.

  Gu Xi Cen turned his head to look at her, and the color of his eyes suddenly became dark. The figure reflected in his eyes was strong and restrained, but it seemed like she could collapse at any moment...

  She returned to her room just as Gu Wangchuan came out of the study, his eyes a bit red from lack of sleep.

  He has just taken over the GL from his grandfather, and with his performance in the company, he will not betray this trust at all. In the eyes of outsiders, it is also a matter of course. But who can see the hardships and efforts he has made behind his back?

  "Get me a glass of water." He said in a hoarse voice, ordering very casually, and was about to walk into the bathroom.

  However, he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He stopped again and turned around to look at her, saying displeasedly, "Lin Yue'er, are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

  Lin Yue'er slowly raised her head, saw the anger rising on his face, helplessly bit her lip, lowered her eyelids, and walked silently towards the door.

  Seeing her confident side in the company, and then seeing this submissive expression at home made Gu Wangchuan feel uncomfortable. He took a step forward to block her path, crossed his arms, and gazed coldly at her, "Lin Yueer, who are you showing this face to? Do you think I've wronged you?"

  He gave a cold, mocking smile, the corners of his lips curling up in a sneer. "Then hurry up and pack your things and get out! Oh, and before you do that, don't forget to pay back all the money you owe my family." He leaned in close to her, his face twisted into an evil grin. "Otherwise, be prepared to spend the rest of your life being trampled under my feet!"

  Lin Yue'er's eyes showed a few more parts of confusion, staring blankly at him, as if she didn't recognize this person.

  Gu Wangchuan furrowed her brow, what did she mean by this? Did she want to change strategy? Was she going to pretend to be crazy and play dumb with him?

  "Hum, what a treacherous woman!"

  He pressed his hands on her shoulders, exerting a slight force, staring at her tightly. "Lin Yue'er, didn't I provide you with a shortcut to making money? Hehe, you can try it out... You know, I've always been very generous to women, of course, on the premise that they are my women!"

  Lin Yue'er gazed at him quietly, then suddenly spoke up, "I refuse."
