Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1373 The Knot In The Heart That Can’t Be Undone

Huo Yuzhou lowered his eyes and looked away, still smiling warmly. After everyone left, he slowly raised his head. His aura was strong, and he was calm as if nothing had happened just now. His tone was even more unquestionable. “Let’s go!”

Guan Hui was standing on the spot in a daze. She was shocked by his voice and hurriedly followed him.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi walked out of the banquet hall and came in front of the silent man. She smiled. “Ah Zheng, is this the gift you were talking about?”

Gu Zheng smiled gently, his eyes filled with affection. “Xi Xi, do you like it?”

“I’m indeed very happy that Fourth Brother and Teacher are here in Y Nation. It’s more meaningful than jewelry. However, Fourth Brother is usually so busy. How does he have time to come here?”

“Mr. Xue is holding an art exhibition in Y Nation,” Gu Zheng said softly. He took a few steps forward and held Qiao Xi’s hand with a warm smile. “Mr. Xue happened to have something to say to Huo Yuzhou, so he came.”

Gu Zheng naturally had ulterior motives for inviting Xue Liang over. Huo Yuzhou relied on the fact that he knew Xi Xi first and always showed off in front of him. He did not want to debate with Huo Yuzhou and lose his bearing, so he let Xue Liang deal with Huo Yuzhou.

Huo Yuzhou could only blame himself for doing too many evil things and being hated by others. He could not be blamed for this, but Xi Xi could not know about this.

Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with smiles. He was really happy to have gotten rid of his love rival!

Xue Liang followed over. Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and frowned. “Fourth Brother, you asked Huo Yuzhou this question in public because you wanted him to tell you the reason, right? However, you already gave him a chance six years ago and he chose to hide it at that time. How could he go back on his word now?”

Xue Liang’s eyes were a little complicated. He asked Huo Yuzhou in public because he wanted him to say why he did that back then.

Back then, they had been studying medicine together. Grandpa thought highly of Huo Yuzhou and taught him everything he had learned in his life. Huo Yuzhou was also obsessed with medicine and forgot to eat and sleep.

He was about the same age as Huo Yuzhou, and their personalities were very similar, so the two of them got along very well. They always chatted, made all kinds of musical instruments, and played them carefreely.

At that time, if someone had asked him who his best friend was, he would definitely have said Huo Yuzhou’s name without hesitation. However, no one expected Huo Yuzhou to steal Grandpa’s medical book and even set fire to the library.

In the end, Huo Yuzhou cruelly told them that he got close to Xi Xi and Grandpa only to use them. Even becoming friends with him was a step in the plan, and all of them blindly believed him.

After so many years, Xue Liang still could not accept this fact. The time they spent together was clearly real. He could also tell that Huo Yuzhou was happy from the bottom of his heart. How did it all become fake?

After being deceived by Huo Yuzhou, Xue Liang gave up studying medicine and music in a fit of anger and started learning oil painting instead. All these years, he had been unable to undo the knot in his heart, so he asked Huo Yuzhou again. However, Huo Yuzhou’s answer was the same as before.

Xue Liang replied with a bitter smile, “I… I was just muddle-headed. Little Six, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I just wanted to see if he had thought it through after so many years. I didn’t expect him to be so stubborn. In that case, we’ll abide by our original agreement and never see each other again!”

His expression was a little lonely. The corners of his lips twitched as he forced a smile. “Xi Xi, I rushed all the way here. Shouldn’t you treat me to a big meal?! Go look for Teacher and catch up with him first. I’ll talk to President Gu alone.”

As soon as Xue Liang finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked toward the lounge. He did not dare to meet Qiao Xi’s gaze and subconsciously quickened his pace.

At this moment, outside the banquet hall.

The assistant opened the car door, and Huo Yuzhou got in. Guan Hui followed closely behind. Just as she was about to get in, the man’s cold voice suddenly sounded. “Lil Hui, I’ve been reminding you to know your identity, but you don’t seem to understand.”

Guan Hui’s face was pale. She lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound.

Huo Yuzhou’s tone was still gentle, but the smile on his lips made one shudder. He leaned against the car seat and placed his long legs on the side, casually blocking Guan Hui from getting into the car.

“Lil Hui, shouldn’t you explain how you found out about Xi Xi’s email address?

“It doesn’t matter if you spout nonsense or if Xi Xi finds out about it, but you actually let Xue Liang know. Xue Liang isn’t someone you can provoke!”

Guan Hui stood in front of the car door and trembled. Fortunately, her assistant reached out to support her so that she would not fall by the roadside.
