Parting on Bad Terms
988 Words
Wen Ruan choked up, as if this could help her swallow the bitterness surging up from her chest.But, can it really be like this?
Just as the setting sun will not rise again, rivers cannot flow backward, a broken mirror cannot be made whole again, and they will never return to the way they were.
Wen Ruan clenched her fist and forced a smile at Gu Yuming, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Gu Yuming's long eyes glanced slightly, like a curved bone knife that made Wen Ruan tremble suddenly.
Zhou Hao on the ground didn't see the cold light in Gu Yuming's eyes. He crawled and rolled to Gu Yuming's side, trembling as he clutched his pant leg and asked, "Gu, Mr. Gu, weren't you in a meeting on the top floor? How did you get here?"
Gu Yuming frowned and kicked him, "Is this what you call a special project?"
He sneered, "Shooting such lowbrow films?"
At this point, Gu Yuming raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Wen Ruan.
That disdainful gaze made Wen Ruan's heart tighten.
She hurriedly shook her head, just about to explain, but Gu Yuming had already turned back and said, "I didn't know you were doing these things in my name."
Zhou Hao was like a bolt from the blue, wailing for mercy.
Chen Fang was even more exasperated, pointing at Wen Ruan's nose and cursing, "Mr. Gu, it's not that we want to break the rules, it's Wen Ruan, she said this would attract customers and increase revenue."
"Enough!"
Gu Yuming interrupted Chen Fang's words with a cold gaze, "Do you think I would believe you?"Wen Ruan raised her head in disbelief.
He, does he believe her?
Noticing her gaze, Gu Yuming turned his face, revealing a hint of mockery, "Did you think I didn't hear what you just said?"
Wen Ruan's heart sank deeply.
Chen Fang waved her hands in panic, "Mr. Gu, it's all a misunderstanding. Although she is my best friend, she is just a slut, always wanting men."
Gu Yuming pressed his thin lips tightly and spat out a harsh word, "Get lost."
Chen Fang's eyes flashed with jealousy, but in her heart, she began to calculate; if she could get close to Gu Yuming, why would she still need Zhou Hao?
Thinking of this, Chen Fang shrugged her shoulders and smiled alluringly, "Mr. Gu, you have come from afar, let me take good care of you."
"I think you might not understand what I'm saying."
Gu Yuming slightly lifted his eyelids, his pitch-black pupils filled with disdain, "I told you to get lost, or do you want to taste the bitterness of losing everything?"
Chen Fang was so shocked by Gu Yuming that her face turned pale.
Zhou Hao could tell that Gu Yuming and Wen Ruan's relationship was unusual. Thinking that after this incident he probably wouldn't be able to stay in the company any longer, anger surged in his heart, and he reached out and slapped Chen Fang.
"Cheap person, showing off without knowing the right time!"
Chen Fang was knocked to the ground, covering her face and crying pitifully, "Isn't this all for you?"
Zhou Hao spat at her, "For me? For my money, right!"
Chen Fang was taken aback, while Zhou Hao nodded and bowed to Gu Yuming, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I'll take this woman and leave right now."
Gu Yuming ignored him and walked closer to Wen Ruan step by step.
The broad body pressed down on Wen Ruan like a mountain, dimming all the light around her, making her involuntarily shrink back.
Gu Yuming's eyes flickered slightly, and without a moment's thought, he reached out and pulled Wen Ruan down.
The rough metal of the window scraped against Wen Ruan's thigh, causing a dull pain; she let out a slight groan, but received only Gu Yuming's unabashed disdain in return.
He pinched Wen Ruan's cheeks, "Does it hurt? Wen Ruan, this little pain is nothing compared to what you gave me back then."
Wen Ruan frowned, her delicate features revealing her fragility and pain.
Gu Yuming saw this, and his hand holding Wen Ruan's finger trembled slightly, then he let go.Wen Ruan coughed violently while covering her neck, but even so, she still tried to squeeze out three words from her painful throat, "Thank you."
Gu Yuming curled his lips in a cold smile, "Thank you? Wen Ruan, there's no need for thanks between us."
Wen Ruan's heart trembled, but her lips curved into an exaggerated smile. "Mr. Gu, since you hate me so much, why did you save me just now?"
A crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a faint light on Gu Yuming's sharply defined jaw, creating a subtle shadow that concealed his expression.
But Wen Ruan could inexplicably feel fear.
She couldn't help but shrink back.
Such an action seemed to infuriate Gu Yuming. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Wen Ruan, you are still the same as before, liking to be clever for your own good!"
He gripped her so tightly that Wen Ruan almost fainted. Her face flushed, and in a daze, she tried to look at him, but could only see a blurred outline.
Wen Ruan blinked, the courage she had just gathered flowed away like an overturned hourglass, dissipating with his nonchalant demeanor, making it impossible for her to hold back the tears that brimmed in her eyes, and even harder to stop them from falling onto Gu Yuming's hand.
Gu Yuming instinctively withdrew his hand, then scoffed, "Crying?"
He fixed her with a fierce gaze like that of a hawk, "Wen Ruan, what right do you have to cry?"Yes.
She doesn't.
Three years ago, because of Wen Ruan's father's betrayal, the Gu family was ruined, and after Gu Yuming's father committed suicide, she could no longer show any weakness in front of Gu Yuming.
