Chapter Thirty-Six: Car Accident

  Perhaps aware of the strange gaze around him, Yin Shuo's voice regained its calmness. "Our engagement ended more than half a year ago, I've already given up my share of stocks as compensation, what else do you want?"

  "I don't want the money!" The soft and gentle voice that had just been trembling with tears suddenly rose several degrees, with a piercing overtone that shook Gu Xixin's eardrum.

  "I've told you I love you, I just want to be with you!" The sharp voice continued, but then suddenly softened, as if the two sentences that had been shouted out had used up all his strength. "Yin Shu, what's wrong with me? Can't I change for you? Don't leave me so heartlessly, okay?"

  Gu Xixin's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and although she could see that the distance between them and the private room was only a few steps away, she couldn't muster up the courage to take a step forward.

  "Yingying, why must you do this? You should have known long ago that I no longer love you. I don't want to say hurtful words, but didn't you also heartlessly abandon me in the past? Let's just consider us even."

  "I disagree!" The woman called Yingying lost control again, suddenly standing up. From Gu Xixin's angle, she could only see half of her profile, and the delicate makeup on her face had spots and tears, but couldn't hide the precision of her features at all.

  Gu Xixin suddenly felt that this woman's appearance was inexplicably familiar, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that the profile was somewhat similar to her own.

  The woman's anger was evident, her eyes wide and flashing with a cold light, her face twisted in rage.

  "I know why you're doing this, isn't it just to come back and find that so-called lover of yours? What's her name, Gu Xixin? She doesn't even remember you anymore, yet you're still pouring your heart out! Do you think I don't know anything? You were able to abandon her for me back then, now you're pretending to be some kind of romantic saint?"

  Gu Xixin only felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to the top of her head, she felt that this scene was somehow familiar, these words she seemed to be able to understand, but after careful consideration, they were completely gone. Slowly, Gu Xixin felt a headache coming on.

  Yin Shu's voice rose again, and upon closer listening, there was a hint of desolation. "How I am with her is none of your concern, even if she forgets everything from before for the rest of her life, I won't let her go. So, give up!"

  The woman's face turned red with rage as she heard these words, and she began to speak recklessly. "What does she have that's so good? Apart from her pretty face, what else can she give you?" After shouting this, a dazzling smile suddenly appeared on her face, hanging on her tear-stained cheeks, looking rather eerie. "Guess what would happen if someone told her about your past? If she knew that you had only treated her as a substitute back then, how would she think? Haha, Yin Shuo, don't force me!"

  At this time, Yin Shuo, who was sitting opposite the woman, also stood up. In a low voice, "In your current state, I think it's unnecessary for us to continue our conversation." He turned around and was about to walk out.

  As soon as he walked out of the card seat, the woman rushed up and hugged Yin Shu from behind, shouting with a crying tone, "Don't go, Yin Shu, I love you, I really love you, don't leave me!"

  At this time, Yin Shu finally couldn't calm down, turned his head and shouted loudly, "Huan Yingying, let go!" As a result, after shouting out this sentence, Yin Shu saw Gu Zhi Xin with a stunned expression several steps away under the corner of his eye.

  Shock quickly climbed up onto Yin Shu's face, "Zi Xin? How did you end up here?"

  At this time, Gu Zhi Xin could no longer hear any sound, her whole person was in a stagnant state and couldn't move forward. The scene she had just pulled out kept flashing before her eyes, alternating with a similar scene in her mind. Gu Zhi Xin's ears started ringing violently, her head felt like it was splitting apart in pain, the scenery in front of her began to blur, and her heart was pounding violently against her chest cavity.

  Along with Yin Shu's words "Qī Xīn", Luan Yingying behind him also shuddered, and after reacting, her sharp eyes shot towards Gu Qixin. Before Yin Shu could react, Luan Yingying had already rushed forward quickly, shouting in a string of curses: "You're Gu Qixin? Great, I'll teach you a lesson today! In the past, you interfered with my relationship with Yin Shu, and now you're interfering with our engagement. Can you be any more shameless?" Speaking angrily, she grabbed a cup of coffee from a nearby table and splashed it at Gu Qixin.

  The coffee trickled down Gu Zixin's face, collecting into droplets on her slightly trembling chin and dripping down one by one. A large stain also formed on the front of her clothes, fortunately the coffee had cooled down a bit after being left for a while, otherwise it would have scalded her.

  This cup of coffee rescued Gu Xixin from her dazed state, but her head still hurt like it was splitting, she knew some answers were about to surface, but she didn't want to know.

  Yin Shu had reacted by then, took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to pull Yun Yingying, the force was so great that it forced Yun Yingying to retreat two steps. With a fierce anger, Yin Shu blocked Gu Xiaren in front of him, raised his hand towards Yun Yingying, and the cold light flashing in his eyes slightly turned, but ultimately he endured and put down his hand.

  Yan Ying looked at the scene in front of her, and the resentment and hatred in her eyes were no longer concealed.

  "Ji Xin, you..." Yin Shu turned around to look at Gu Ji Xin, but the words got stuck in his throat. Gu Ji Xin looked back at Yin Shu, seeing the shock, pain, regret, guilt and heartache mixed in his eyes, making her unable to bear looking at him anymore. She instinctively thought, I want to leave here, I want to go.

  She clutched the package tightly in her hand, Gu Zhi Xin no longer looked at them, turned around and stumbled out, Yin Shu Gang wanted to chase after her but was held back by Luan Yingying who had stuck close to him again. In his anger, Yin Shu pushed Luan Yingying away from himself with great force, when he turned around, he found that Gu Zhi Xin had already stumbled onto the main road outside the coffee shop.

  Gu Xixin walked out of the coffee shop, the scorching sun shining brightly on her face. Her head was getting more and more painful, and her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred. In her mind, there were always some scattered fragments that wanted to squeeze out, and some fragmented voices that collided with her heart.

  Stumbling and staggering onto the road, a sharp screeching sound suddenly appeared in her ears, Gu Zhi Xin felt her body being hit by a force, and then she suddenly fainted. Before losing consciousness, many scenes flashed through Gu Zhi Xin's mind, accompanied by a voice: Wasn't it because she looked like me that you were with her?

  Yin Shu rushed to the door just in time to witness this scene. He watched as Gu Zhi Xin fell down right before his eyes, while the driver of the car beside him hastily got out and stood in front of the fallen Gu Zhi Xin.
