o come back to her senses."You came back so early today" Su Ke Xin was surprised."Hmm." Gu Chi responded indifferently, then saw Uncle Wang and Auntie Zhang dragging their suitcases into the living ro...Su Ke Xin returned to the room and saw Gu Chi talking on the phone with someone. She noticed her pushing the door in, so he quickly hung up.

Seeing Gu Chi's reaction, Su Keqin thought that Gu Chi was helping the Lin Group again and didn't want her to know, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

She originally wanted to come in and tell Gu Chi about what Gu Xiao had said just now, but seeing that Gu Chi was hiding something from her, her mood plummeted instantly, and she didn't want to say more.

Su Keqin sat on the sofa and started reading a magazine.

Gu Zhi asked Su Keqin, "Why did it take you so long What did your grandfather tell you"

"He didn't say anything, the old man just waited for us..."

Su Kexin felt that it was inappropriate to talk about having children in front of Gu Zhi at this moment. She also had no mood to continue talking.

Seeing Su Keixin's hesitant expression, Gu Chi guessed that she must have misunderstood him and was unwilling to speak to him, giving him the silent treatment.

If this continues, Su Kexin will only get angrier with him.

"Su Ke Xin, just now I..." Gu Chi felt the need to explain to Su Ke Xin, but as soon as he spoke, he couldn't tell her right now. This was still a secret, and telling her would ruin the surprise.

Gu Zhi could only change the subject and say, "I was just handling some company matters a moment ago. Nothing important."

Suddenly, both of them fell silent.

The air was thick with resentment.

Su Keqin held the magazine, flipping through it page after page, but she couldn't read a single word.

Su Keqin was certain that Gu Chi must have called to help Lin Xiaoru and the Lin family. He had once promised her that he would protect her and wouldn't let her suffer any grievances, but what about now He didn't keep his word.

Gu Zhi thought he should tell Su Ke Xin about the time Lin Xiao Ru saved him when they were kids. All the misunderstandings between them stemmed from their inability to communicate properly.

At the same time, he also wanted to apologize to Su Kexin. He did owe her an apology.

Gu Zhi coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room, and then said, "Su KeXin, actually I've been busy these past few days, dealing with matters concerning the Lin family."

I know, you don't need to explain it to me." Su Keqin suddenly didn't want to hear his explanation. As soon as she heard Lin Xiaoru and the Lin family, she felt nauseous.

She could just imagine the smug expression on Lin Xiaoru's face. She had seen that arrogant look on her face when they met at the door earlier.

"Su Ke Xin, you don't understand," Gu Chi looked at Su Ke Xin's uncooperative attitude and felt even more anxious. "Actually, Lin Xiao Ru is..."

Su Ke Xin suddenly put down the magazine and stood up, saying, "Excuse me, Gu Chi, I'll go to the restroom."

Gu Chi suddenly had no way to deal with her. He didn't expect Su Ke Xin to be so averse to the name Lin Xiaoru, not even giving him a chance to explain.

If she didn't know that Lin Xiaoru was the mastermind two years ago, it wouldn't be so bad. Knowing this, she hated this person even more.

Su Kexin locked herself in the bathroom, her eyes reddened.

He didn't understand her grievance.

"Su Ke Xin," Gu Chi said in a low voice. "Listen to me explain, there's a reason why I treat Lin Xiaoru this way."

Why

What could the reasons be But they are all just excuses.

Su Kexin let out a wry smile.

He has already let go of Lin Xiaoru and even retrieved the economic losses for the Lin Group. That is a fact.

If he truly cared about her and genuinely wanted to protect her, how could he let that person off the hook without giving Lin Xiaoru and the Lin family some lessons What if they came to cause trouble again

The pain from two years ago is still vivid in my memory. Should she have to go through it again

At this point, Su Kexin felt a surge of resentment.

She wasn't a vindictive person, but what Lin Xiaoru did to her was truly unforgivable, it had almost ruined her life.

But now, Gu Chi, who had always claimed to seek justice for himself, was helping the very culprit

Gu Chi letting go of Lin Xiaoru was fine, but why was he still concerned about her and helping her now

Su Ke Xin thought the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

"Su Kexin, open the door and let's talk this out properly." Gu Chi's low voice rang again from outside the door, laced with a hint of urgency.

Su Keixin bit her lip.

She knew that throwing a tantrum wasn't a way to solve the problem. She was hesitating whether to open the door, but just then—

Knock knock knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Someone outside the door shouted, "Young Master Gu Chi, it's me, the housekeeper. Please open the door."

Gu Chi sank his face, opening the door with a displeasured expression.

The housekeeper first glanced inside but didn't see Su Ke Xin. Then, with a smile, he said: "Young Master Gu, many people have arrived outside, clamoring to come for the birthday party for the old master. The old master asked me to call you and Madam down."

“Oh, okay, I understand. I’ll go right away.” Gu Chi said.

Su Keqin heard the housekeeper's words, opened the bathroom door, and lowered her head, avoiding Gu Chi's gaze.

"Su Ke Xin..." Gu Chi grabbed her arm, gripping it too tightly, causing Su Ke Xin some pain.

Su Ke Xin's eyes were red-rimmed, her voice softened, but she still avoided looking at Chi's eyes: "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go down quickly and not make grandpa and the others wait."

Seeing Su Kexin sad, Gu Chi's heart was also very uncomfortable.

But now is not the time to talk about this, everyone is still waiting for them, they have to go down first.

As soon as she went downstairs, Su Keqin saw many guests there.

The news of Master Gu's birthday leaked accidentally, and many people came to wish him well.

In all of S city, almost every high-profile task was gathered here, which opened Su Ke Xin's eyes.

Everyone was smiling and having a good time, toasting each other with wine and passing cups of flowing water.

The once quiet Gu's villa was now filled with noise due to the flatterers who had arrived.

Su Kexin wasn't used to this kind of scene. She felt very tired and had to wear a smiling mask, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She couldn't bring herself to do this sort of thing.

She watched Lin Xiaoru chatting and laughing with others, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Lin Xiaoru's eyes kept glancing at Su Kexin, filled with smugness and provocation.

Gu Chi's eyes never left Su Kexin, even when someone chatted with him, he kept staring at her.

He found that every expression on Su Kexin's face held weariness and boredom.

At this time, Gu Chi came over in his wheelchair and asked her in a low voice, "Su Kexin, don't you like staying here"

Su Keixin nodded and said, "Gu Chi, can I go home first I'm not used to being here."

Gu Chi's eyes flashed, remembering the phone call he had just received saying everything was ready. He opened his mouth and said, "Then let's leave here, I'll take you to a place."

Take her somewhere

Su Ke Xin thought about the places Gu Chi had taken her before, auctions or cold storage, neither of which were pleasant places. She didn't want to go.

She said, "Gu Chi, please spare me, can I not go..."

"No." Gu Chi directly interrupted Su Ke Xin.gnition Why, after all his hard work, his grandfather still wants to hand over the Gus Group to Gu Chi to manage Where did he fall short compared to him! "The reason is that I hate you," Gu Xiao's eye...
