Chapter 140: Have You Not Heard of Love at First Sight?
It had been a sleepless night for Gu Chenyi. I feel sad and awful because of her, but she appears all fine and indifferent when she sees me, as though she hasn’t done anything to let me down.
How can she be so heartless? How can she let go of our relations.h.i.+p this easily?
Has she never liked me at all?!
Her nonchalant state had him wanting to hurt her and stab her to let her feel the pain that he was feeling.
Mu Huan’s hand, which was clasped tightly around her spoon, gradually relaxed after a long while. She looked up and flashed a sweet and charming smile at him. “How do you know for sure that I don’t like my husband? How can I possibly not like him when he’s such an outstanding and perfect being? Besides, his money is mine in the first place, so there’s no need for me to exchange my body for his money. If your IQ level is so low to the point that you don’t understand the meaning of marital a.s.sets, then please go look it up on Baidu search engine and don’t embarra.s.s yourself here, okay?”
“You like my uncle? The two of you have never met each other before that matchmaking session! How can you possibly like him?!” He refused to believe that she had feelings for his uncle.
“Haven’t you heard of love at first sight? You should know how outstanding and perfect a person your uncle is. As long as he’s willing, who wouldn’t like him and wish to pounce on him? Take your girlfriend, for example. When she sees your uncle, she would surely also think, ‘Heavens! If only this perfect man was mine!’ You’re nothing compared to your uncle!”
Not a fan of causing trouble, she would usually just let things slide and ignore those who tried picking trouble with her. However, if things went overboard, she would not take it lying down and pay them back tenfold of the hurt they caused her!
“You—!” Her words instantly pierced a hole through Gu Chenyi’s heart!
It was just like what she said. He was well aware of how exceptional his uncle was. Having revered the man for all his life, he reckoned that the only person he could not be matched up with was his uncle. The man was terrifyingly perfect!
As much as he was reluctant to admit the truth, it was a fact that he was nothing when compared to his uncle. Regardless of whether it was in appearance, financial status, intellectual level, academics, etc., there was just no comparison between them!
“How can you say that, Xiao Huan? How can you hurt Chenyi in this manner?” chided Lin Qingya.
“Why can’t I do that?” She c.o.c.ked a brow.
“Xiao Huan, I know you’re furious, but Chenyi and I have our difficulties that I can’t tell you about. You know best about how things are between the two of you. You’ve done things that let him down, so how can you say such hurtful words to him? You can’t do this!” berated the former as though she was her friend.
Mu Huan found herself truly unsuited for arguments when all she had in mind was to give them a good thras.h.i.+ng after hearing those revolting words. “Hurry and get away from me. Otherwise, I’ll turn nasty!”
“Are you suffering from a guilty conscience? You’re all enraged now because you also think that you’ve let me down, isn’t that right?!” His hands balled up tightly.
“I’ve let nothing down! Back then, it was you who ended things completely and requested that I don’t appear before you! In what way have I let you down, huh?!” She just could not fathom how on earth the guy could have the gall to a.s.sume that she had let him down!
“You’re lying! You worked as a hostess because of your greed for money! You—”
“G*dd*mnit!” She was truly rendered speechless here. No longer wanting to face the two, she got up to her feet abruptly and kicked the long bench they were seated on.
The abruptness of it caught them off guard and sent them cras.h.i.+ng to the floor. As Lin Qingya fell, she instinctively tried grabbing the table, only to knock over the plates of food all over themselves.
Mu Huan looked down condescendingly at the two disheveled people. “Don’t come disgusting me again, idiots!”
