Gu Tianmu was still leaning back against the sofa opposite Nalan Jing. Perhaps due to his back injury, he leaned slightly to the side.
“Three years. I spent three years being with her, disguised as you. It was also during that period of time that I fell in love with that headstrong and insecure little girl, but—” Nalan Jing looked up at Gu Tianmu, his eyes turning malicious and bitter. “But as the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Gu grew better and better, it violated the bottom line of the person who hired me to be your impersonator. So, she stopped faking her death and hatched an evil plot on Didi, despite Didi being only fourteen at the time. Funny, isn’t it? A fourteen-year-old girl was crushed because of you!”
Nalan Jing gripped the glass in his hand so tightly that it broke. The shards cut his fingers and palm, but he didn’t care.
“You hate the Ye family, but what right do you have to hate them? It was you who destroyed their brother-sister relationship, you who ruined the entire Ye family,” Nalan Jing growled slowly, each word full of agony.
Ye Yuwei clenched her fists so hard her palms started to hurt, but her shoulder hurt more because Gu Juexi was gripping it tightly.
Gu Tianmu remained as stiff as a statue. When a waiter wanted to approach them after the commotion, Gu Tianmu raised his hand to stop him.
“I don’t know her,” Gu Tianmu said flatly.
“Yes, you don’t know her, you can solve all problems just by saying you don’t know her,” Nalan Jing sneered. He reached out and grabbed a paper towel, slowly bandaging his injured fingers, but the blood quickly drenched it, turning it into a pile of bloody bandages.
Ye Yuwei tried to stand in Gu Juexi’s embrace, but he grabbed her hands swiftly.
He didn’t let go of her hand, so how could she let go of his?
“Gu Tianmu, Wen Lan was and still is obsessed with you because you never really said no. Do you still think that this has nothing to do with you?” Nalan Jing laughed sarcastically and leaned back in his chair. “If only you made yourself clear and didn’t give her any hope, none of this would have happened. All it needed was one explanation, but you, Gu Tianmu, didn’t say it.” Nalan Jing’s tone was normal, but his words were direct and spiteful.
Gu Juexi stared at Ye Yuwei intently, tempted to unplug Ye Yuwei’s earphones.
He didn’t anticipate such a major twist to the incident. Initially, he thought that tackling Wen Lan would end this matter, but the truth was more heart-wrenching and unexpected.
“Dear—” Gu Juexi mumbled.
Ye Yuwei stopped his hand from removing her earphones. She wanted to keep on listening to the revealing of the truth.
“Then they took the video away. What they were going to do with the video was beyond Didi’s control. Did anyone give her justice for the humiliation she suffered? No one,” Nalan Jing said with a scornful smirk on his face.
“Later, she became pregnant, which drove Ye Shu crazy. He even thought about committing suicide with her, but she was very calm and more reasonable than anyone. She knew that I wasn’t you, she knew it from the beginning that the person who treated her so well wasn’t you, but she played along with me because if she didn’t, she wasn’t sure what else Wen Lan would do to Wen Jie. She wanted to keep Wen Jie safe. It didn’t matter if she was taken advantage of, at least she was a part of the act so she could protect Wen Jie, but what happened later?” Nalan Jing continued as he looked at the man in front of him. Gu Tianmu had shifted in his seat, looking tense.
