Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ruan Feifei both remain silent, Mother Li couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the problem?”

She suddenly understood at this moment.

Gu Junzhu wasn’t here to rescue Ruan Feifei.

In fact, Ruan Feifei was extremely afraid of Gu Junzhu.

She instinctively sensed that Gu Junzhu’s question wasn’t beneficial to Ruan Feifei.

It was even fatal.

Gu Junzhu looked at Ruan Feifei, slightly curling his lips, “Your good friend insisted that you are my Brother Chuan’s savior, asking me to make my Brother Chuan repay the favor, but I had people investigate. Back then, in the small mountain village where my Brother Chuan had his accident, there wasn’t a single family with the surname Ruan within dozens of miles, nor was there a person named Ruan Feifei. I want to ask you, back then, why did a teenage girl like you appear in a poor, remote, and uninhabited small mountain village?”

Ruan Feifei’s hair stood on end as cold sweat seeped from her pores, rolling down her spine drop by drop.

She frantically told herself that she must remain calm and not show any abnormality.

Yet, being watched by Gu Junzhu’s ambiguous and meaningful gaze, she only felt her hands and feet turn cold, her whole body frigid, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

That was her secret.

A deadly secret.

It must never be known by anyone.

Especially not by Zhan Jinchuan.

At this moment, she regretted it.

She had always been smart, but today, she made the worst decision.

She shouldn’t have let Bao Ningning go to Zhan Jinchuan’s wedding to find Zhan Jinchuan.

Zhan Jinchuan and Gu Junzhu have always had a good relationship.

For Zhan Jinchuan’s wedding, Gu Junzhu would definitely attend.

She was too jealous.

Jealousy drives people mad and makes them lose their rationality.

She was momentarily confused and agreed to Bao Ningning’s suggestion to let Bao Ningning find Zhan Jinchuan at the wedding.

But what was the result?

Zhan Jinchuan didn’t come, Gu Junzhu did.

Her instincts told her that Gu Junzhu was her nemesis.

Being under Gu Junzhu’s amused yet watchful eyes, she felt like a rabbit being targeted by a hawk.

Fear swept through her body, and she trembled all over.

She clenched her fist, forcing herself to stay calm.

Don’t panic.

Once she panics, she loses.

She put on the most composed expression, smiled at Gu Junzhu, “I recall I’ve answered this question before. After my dad passed away, my dad’s brothers took away our house and land, and they drove my mom and me out.”

“My mom and I had nowhere to go and wandered around.”

“The day I saved Brother Chuan, we happened to be wandering near that small mountain village, and when playing with the village children, I accidentally discovered Brother Chuan tied up in the cellar, so I rescued Brother Chuan.”

“After saving Brother Chuan, I was afraid of being discovered and retaliated against by the bad guys, so I persuaded my mother, and we left the village together.”

“Oh…” Gu Junzhu nodded, the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his gaze on her was full of implication: “What a coincidence!”

Being looked at like this, Ruan Feifei’s back was drenched with cold sweat.

She always felt that Gu Junzhu’s meaningful gaze was suspicious of something.

Fear gripped her heart tightly.

She once saved Zhan Jinchuan, which is her foundation for survival now.

Because she once saved Zhan Jinchuan’s life, she got to know Li Su and marry into the Li Family, and to become the Young Madam of a wealthy family.

Once the truth is exposed, she would be completely finished.

Her identity as Zhan Jinchuan’s savior is her most valuable amulet, and she can’t afford to lose it.

She tried to stay calm, smiling at Gu Junzhu, “Yeah, what a coincidence.”
