Chereads / THE THORNS OF LOVE / Chapter 43 - Deception 2

Chapter 43 - Deception 2

Gu Xijun's mind went blank, the feeling of being lied to was like falling into a deep, bottomless whirlpool, her heart spinning, spinning, and then being completely twisted.

  She can no longer remember how she walked out of the door of the hotel, like a soulless shell, her consciousness was sinking/falling. Standing on the parking lot, Cheng Zihao quietly looked at the woman with a sad face and comforted, Don't think too much.

  They lied to me that the wedding banquet was today in order to guard against me... Gu Xijun laughed at herself, her bitter smile fading into the corners of her mouth as only sadness remained in her eyes.

  Cheng Zihao's face sank, and he wanted to persuade Gu Xijun to leave, but she snatched the car's keys and sat in the driver's seat. Fortunately, Cheng Zihao countered in time, sitting in the passenger seat behind him immediately afterward and buckling his seatbelt along the way.

  Don't be impulsive! Remembering the way Gu Xijun raced her car in the middle of the night half a year ago, Cheng Zihao gripped the handle on the car door tightly, and in his heart, he was secretly sighing, in fact, when a woman is impulsive, it's even more terrifying than a man.

  Gu Xijun stepped on the gas in a buoyant mood and started the car to leave at high speed. Her driving style looked lethal in Cheng Zihao's eyes.

  At first, he had lobbied for her to drive carefully. But seeing as the speedometer had shot up to a hundred and fifty yards, he had shut up and instead prayed silently in his heart that he would see the sunrise tomorrow.

  Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Gu family villa in the suburbs. Gu Xijun expressionlessly rushed out of the car and ran along the garden path in a diameter in the direction of the main entrance.

  Gu Bo Qiao, come out here! In the empty and quiet semi-mountainous area, Gu Xijun's voice seemed especially piercing. She was completely enraged this time, her screams cutting through the quiet night sky, and the last trace of calmness in her heart completely dispersed.

  The man in the car's heart sank as he hurriedly followed Gu Xijun out of the car and stood behind her.

  Hurried footsteps came from inside the door, and the villa's door was finally opened by a middle-aged woman. When she got a good look at Gu Xijun outside the door, she asked with a panicked expression, Miss, is it you? Is it really you?

  Where is Gu Bo Qiao? Gu Xijun pushed aside the middle-aged woman who was at the door and barged straight into the house.

  A low male voice came from above his head, Gu Bo Qiao walked down the stairs dressed in a leisurely suit, and did not have any surprise the moment he saw Gu Xijun, as if he had long expected her to come back.

  Xiao Jun, you are back. The light tone contained a hint of calmness that Gu Xijun could not see through.

  The man in front of her made Gu Xijun feel strange and distant. Thinking back to Gu Bo Qiao's concern on the phone, and the worry after the silence when he clearly told her that the wedding banquet was on Sunday. At that time, she had naively thought that he hadn't changed at all and was still the same brother who did things in a low-key manner.

  Maybe she was too stupid and naive, if Gu Bo Qiao really loved her, he wouldn't have ignored her for the past six months.

  Why did you lie to me? What about them? Gu Xijun stared at the man in front of her wearing gold-rimmed glasses, her heart getting harder and harder. It was rare for her to be so paranoid and nonchalant, but every time she lost her temper without regard for her image, it seemed to be related to Gu Weiye.

  The man calmly sat down on a side sofa and ordered the woman beside him in a low voice, saying, Go and brew some cups of black tea over here.

  Unable to get a positive response, Gu Xijun's mood was stormy and her tone was like a layer of cold frost: Gu Boqiao, where are they?
