C1 Chapter 1
The pouring rain poured down. When Gu Anni entered the door, her lower body was already wet. She cursed softly and put away the umbrella. She went straight to her room and changed into a clean set of clothes that belonged to this scene. Only then did she walk towards the bar counter.
Not far away, a group of men and women were led to the elevator on the right side of the bar. There was a private room on the second floor. Gu Anni noticed that the man at the back was wearing a white t-shirt. He was wearing light blue jeans, which made him look like he was in good shape. He seemed to be a bit casual. When he was a few steps away from the person in front of him, the person in front of him seemed to have called out to him. Only then did he follow.
The moment the man turned his head, Gu Anni was so shocked that her chin almost fell off. Her expression instantly changed. The bright and swaying lights in the hall and the music that was full of heavy metal had turned into a silent background at this moment. Her eyes were full of killing intent as she stared at the man entering the elevator.
She rushed to the bar. The bartender, Su Shan, was about to pass the finished wine to the guest waiting at the bar. When she looked up and saw Gu Anni's cold eyes, her hand trembled and almost slipped out of her hand. Her little heart beat a few times and she softly called out, "Sister."
Gu Anni looked at her, "Don't bother about me. Continue."
Even though Boss said so, Su Shan still felt that it was very dangerous and continued to work in her hands in fear.
...
The atmosphere in the room was pretty good, but the man sitting in the middle had a strange aura.
"Liang Yu, what's wrong with you? You got married without saying a word. You didn't even greet us and didn't invite us to a wedding." Koo Yan bumped his arm and said discontentedly. However, he didn't look unhappy at all. Apparently, he was quite happy about his good brother getting married.
"That's right, that's right." Lee Si immediately agreed. The waiter pushed open the door and opened the wine for them. He immediately said, "No matter what, we must punish ourselves with three cups today."
Liang Yu smiled faintly. He looked in a certain direction and said, "Okay."
A cup was handed over. He raised it and drank it in one gulp. After three cups, he turned it upside down for the surrounding scoundrels to see.
"Speaking of which, we still don't know how Young Liang and Sister-in-law got to know each other." Hsu Ruolin ruffled her hair and tilted her head to look at Liang Yu.
The people around seemed to be interested in this question as well. All of a sudden, they started to make noise, waiting to hear Liang Yu's answer.
The man seemed to smile, and the corner of his mouth had a hint of indifference. "Stop pestering me, there's nothing I can do."
Gu Anni, who was dressed in the waiter's uniform, narrowed her eyes. She could hear the contempt and impatience hidden in the man's words. Everyone was in a good mood. No one noticed the waiter who was still in the private room.
Whistles immediately sounded from the surroundings. Koo Yan approached Liang Yu and squinted his eyes to look at Hsu Ruolin. He said discontentedly, "Why did you invite this woman too?"
Liang Yu's tone was still casual. "It's not me."
Gu Anni did not care about this question. The only thing she cared about was why this man who was supposed to go to Maldives with her good friend Ye Feiyu would appear here at this moment.
However, there were so many people at this moment and they did not know the truth. If they spoke rashly, wouldn't it let everyone know that the Ye family's daughter, Ye Feiyu, was not on good terms with her newlywed husband?
Therefore, she gritted her teeth and retreated.
The tray was casually placed in the hands of the passing waiter. Gu Anni took out her phone and dialed Ye Feiyu's number.
"Hi, the new married woman, Mrs. Liang. How is the sunlight in Maldives?" Gu Anni deliberately held her voice and her tone became much more flirtatious.
"Oh, not bad. But it's a pity that I've already left the mountain. Can I broadcast it to you?" Ye Feiyu replied.
Is that so? That honeymoon trip should be pretty good. I think Mr. Liang is quite nice to you." Gu Anni giggled after saying that.
Ye Feiyu finally felt something unusual.
"Anni, did something happen?" Her tone became serious.
"You stupid woman. Tell me where you are now." Gu Anni finally roared out.
"I am spending my honeymoon in Maldives." Ye Feiyu replied.
Gu Anni snorted, "Ye Feiyu, let me ask you again. Where are you now?"
"Anni, what's wrong? I really did not lie to you in Maldives." Ye Feiyu's voice was somewhat helpless.
Gu Anni was stunned for a moment and looked towards the room at the end of the corridor. There were many people with the same name and surname in this world, but there were definitely no people with the same name and surname who looked so similar. Then, there was only one answer.
She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone as gentle as possible.
"Alright, I wish you a good time."
Truth was always cruel, and she chose not to say it at the last moment.
Ye Feiyu hung up the phone. Her hands drooped weakly and her phone fell on the bed sheet.
Outside the window, the night had quietly fallen. Through the French window, she could see the figure of a child running and the distant tourists sitting together drinking and chatting.
Ye Feiyu did not lie. She had indeed come to Maldives for her honeymoon. She was just one person. Her handsome and tall husband had clearly told her that he did not love her on the wedding night. No, he had already told her that he did not love her. So naturally, he would not accompany her on her honeymoon.
It was a lie to say that he was not disappointed. But this kind of emotion quickly passed. This man was chosen by her. She loved this man, even if he did not love her now.
That was a day three months ago. Ye Feiyu was waiting at the bar for Anni to get off work. The moment she came out of the washroom, she met this man.
At that time, he was not handsome at all. On the contrary, he was ruthless and dispirited.
He was talking on the phone.
"Hsu Ruolin, don't you fucking regret it." He shouted in a low voice and then his phone flew out. It brushed past Ye Feiyu's ear and hit the wall behind her. Then it fell.
She was shocked and instinctively cried out.
The man heard it and saw it too. But he did not say a word to Ye Feiyu. He even looked at her with contempt.
Ye Feiyu felt that it was a little awkward to continue like this. She coughed a few times and then said, "Sir, do you need help?"
When the man heard her, he subconsciously lowered his head to look at himself. He was in such a sorry state that even the teenage girls in the bar felt that they needed help.
Ye Feiyu saw that he did not answer and bit her lower lip to think for a few seconds. She directly made the decision to go forward and support him. Unexpectedly, the other party pushed her away without any gentlemanly demeanor.
At that time, Ye Feiyu watched as this man supported his swaying body and dragged his body out bit by bit. He unexpectedly followed her.
The whole night, the man finally laid down on the park bench. She did not even have the courage to give him a piece of clothing and only stayed in her car. In the end, she also slowly fell asleep.
The next day, she woke up and got out of the car. She ran to the bench to look but couldn't find anyone. Liang Yu had already left.
When she returned to her home, she received news that her father was about to remarry. It had been less than half a year since her mother passed away.
"Xiaoyu, this is your Auntie Liu." The woman had taken good care of herself. She looked to be in her thirties. Why did she say that she was in good health? She was not the woman she used to be, because there was a 17-18 year old girl standing next to her. Ye Feiyu was waiting for her father to introduce her.
"This is your Aunt Liu's daughter, Lau Ruxue." Her father, Liao Jiahui, introduced her.
"Hello, Xiaoyu." Liu Mei smiled and extended her hand to her.
Ye Feiyu was stunned for a moment. Her hand was slightly stiff.
"Oh, did they come to visit us today?" Ye Feiyu turned to her father. She was surprised that her father did not find out that she did not return home at night. Or rather, she was found but did not receive any scolding. She looked up and held her father's arm with a face full of naivety.
"Yes." Her father replied and brought them into the house.
After that, Ye Feiyu was called to the study room by her father, Liao Jiahui. Step by step, she stepped on the steps. During this process, an ominous feeling quietly arose in her heart.
"Xiaoyu, I want to marry your Auntie Liu." Her father went straight to the point without any hesitation, but Ye Feiyu seemed to have received a shock. She never thought that her father would marry again, and it was at this time that her mother unexpectedly passed away less than half a year ago.
"Why?" Ye Feiyu asked him.
"Your Auntie Liu is the manager of the company's public relations department. After your mother passed away, She helped me a lot. "Dad accidentally did something wrong. Dad wants to be responsible for her." Finishing, "There are also other colleagues in the company accompanying me. Dad doesn't want your Auntie Liu to be pointed at by others in the future. It was Dad who caused her reputation to be damaged.
Ye Feiyu bit her lips and stood there for a long time before she finally accepted this fact. Daddy is going to be with another woman. It will be someone else's husband, someone else's daddy. She and Mom are no longer the only ones he has. This knowledge was a huge blow to her, but looking at her father who was in pain and blaming himself, Ye Feiyu couldn't bear it anymore. He was only in his forties, and there was still half a journey in his life. There was nothing wrong with remarrying, but it was a little hard to accept at this point in time.
"Dad, have you really decided?" Ye Feiyu asked hesitantly.
"I..." He paused and looked guilty. "If Xiaoyu can't accept it, I can stay outside with your Auntie Liu."
There was no room for negotiation. Ye Feiyu felt uncomfortable but her position did not seem right. She did not want her father to remarry. However, she was not a young girl who could cry. She should understand the position of a sensible adult. Moreover, she only had one family member left now. This father that she had always respected.
Later on, she went to the bar to look for Gu Anni but Gu Anni did not even say a word of comfort to her. She only gave her a strange look.
This matter had already become a foregone conclusion. The only surprising thing was that she actually saw Liang Yu again. This time, he wasn't alone. There was another man beside him. Her heart unexpectedly settled down, as if this time she could stop being a stalker.
They were both drunk. Ye Feiyu did not know why this man liked to drink so much. She even asked Miss Su Shan for the same wine, but after taking a sip, she felt a little dizzy. Gu Anni looked at her appearance and teased her without any courtesy.
