Chapter 22: Chaoyang Three

  He looked at me with a helpless expression and said, "To be honest, I'm more than happy to help you out, but...you might not know this, but my relationship with Gu Chen isn't exactly great. If things go awry, it'll be disastrous, and I couldn't bear to hurt your sister..." I spoke with utmost sincerity, and as Xu Luo later said, I really wasted my talent by not becoming an actor.

  Fang Chaoyang heard this and seemed to smile but not quite, casting me a glance. "Oh? Is that so?" His inscrutable expression made me feel uneasy.

  "How did I hear that Gu Chen is very respectful to you, this sister? When he found out about Yun Hao's intentions to tease, he didn't hesitate to run over from afar and beat him up. Not only that, but he also thought it was my doing and directly took away my little sister! Who would believe that your relationship isn't good?" Fang Chao Yang said with a tone that was half true and half false, leaving me stunned for a moment."

  Yun Hao looked at me with a particularly resentful gaze, and I had no doubt that he would immediately kneel down and kowtow to me twice, begging for my forgiveness.

  To be honest, I don't believe it. Gu Chen isn't someone who interferes in other people's business. Saying he beat up Yun Hao might just be because he doesn't like the look of him. As for framing Fang Chaoyang's precious little sister, that has nothing to do with me. Maybe Gu Chen took a liking to her and Fang Chaoyang is just making a big deal out of it.

  "Didn't you say that you and Gu Chen had a fight, but he didn't hit you back, then your sister went to avenge you and got caught? What does this have to do with me?" I looked at Fang Chaoyang with disdain, secretly cursing him as a coward.

  "You can scold me in your heart, just don't say it out loud." Fang Chaoyang's gaze at me seemed to have changed, as if he was looking at something interesting. "Gu Qing, you don't need to doubt what I'm saying. This matter seems too simple for you, so whether you help or not, you'll end up helping anyway."

  This is already threatening.

  I stretched out my hands and said directly, "Then tie me up too, you go exchange me with your sister, see if Gu Chen will trade or not." I just wanted to tell Fang Chaoyang that my coming for Gu Chen was not as important as he thought.

  Fang Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This is indeed a good idea."

  I was stunned.

  Xu Luokai seemed to have had enough, jumping in front of me and shielding me. With a fierce glare at Fang Chaoyang, he said: "Fang Chaoyang, are you a man? You didn't even go to rescue your own sister, but instead came running to find Aqian! You're just a despicable person, a scoundrel!"

  Fang Chaoyang sneered with a smile, "Xu Luokai, you've always been like a turtle hiding in its shell, now that you're jumping out, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

  Xu Luokai and Fang Chaoyang have a very bad relationship, which is something everyone knows. The first time I met Xu Luokai, the injuries on her body were inflicted by Fang Chaoyang's men. As for the injuries Xu Luokai sustained that night when she said she had found a boy she liked, they also have an inescapable connection to Fang Chaoyang. In Xu Luokai's words, the two of them are naturally incompatible, perhaps destined to be mutually exclusive in this world - as long as Fang Chaoyang exists, Xu Luokai cannot exist.

  "Fang Chaoyang, I can get Gu Chen to bring your sister back, but you have to agree to three conditions of mine, no matter what they are." I secretly wondered if Fang Chaoyang would agree, and looked at him inquiringly.

  "After a long silence, Fang Chaoyang finally nodded, 'Alright, I promise you. No matter what the conditions are, no matter how excessive they are, as long as you say it, I'll help you make it happen.'"

  At that time, I always didn't know why Fang Chaoyang would so readily agree to me. Obviously he could have just tied me up and exchanged me for Gu Chen, which would also have saved him the trouble of agreeing to my three inexplicable conditions.

  It wasn't until much later that I realized I was the same as Fang Chaoyang, with an unattainable person in my heart. No matter how hard I tried or how close I got, it was a feeling that could never come to fruition.

  He stuck with those feelings for twenty years.
