Chapter 308: When the Wall Falls, Everybody Pushes
Liu Zhiwen said to He Sirui, "An Junxi is the first opponent that has ever made me scared. President Gu truly loves her. Who can compete with that?"
He Sirui asked, "Since you know, why do you still go after An Junxi..."
"I can’t turn back anymore. Besides, I’m not willing to give up. If I win, I become Mrs. Gu. I can stand by his side, and no one will dare to look down on me." The temptation was just too great for her.
He Sirui found her thinking unbelievable, "He doesn’t even know you exist. You’re betting so much on this, Liu Zhiwen. You’ve lost all human decency. Don’t use love as an excuse!"
Faced with He Sirui’s accusations, Liu Zhiwen laughed crazily, "Sui Rui, don’t act so righteous. Compared to what I did, you were so cowardly thirteen years ago. You left because of Lv Mo... hahaha. If you had fought for yourself before President Gu met An Junxi, you might have been the Young Madam of the Gu Family by now. You have no right to judge me because you were a coward!"
"Nonsense! That’s just nonsense!"
Liu Zhiwen said with certainty, "No matter what, you must regret it now."
He Sirui fell silent. Now? She had long regretted it!
Liu Zhiwen brought the conversation back on track, "Sui Rui, President Gu sees you differently. You belong to the same social class. Your chances of success are much higher than mine. If you help me this time, I can help you get rid of An Junxi, then leave the country and never come back. How about it?"
"Do you even need my help?" He Sirui’s tone was a bit disdainful, "From what I know, you had already slept with almost every man in the entertainment industry before you even made your debut. You’ve navigated the circles of men effortlessly within just a few years. Not a single man who has elevated you to stardom can help you?"
Liu Zhiwen’s image in front of her vast fans was one of sunshine, kindness, and talent. But once her true face was exposed... It would certainly be entertaining to watch.
Liu Zhiwen’s eyes filled with hatred, "None of those worthless men have the guts. Just hearing the name Gu Family scares them half to death. What’s the use?"
He Sirui said regretfully, "Then I can’t help you. It’s not worth losing myself for you. No one can stop Yi Ke from bringing down your Liu Family. You should give up."
Liu Zhiwen pleaded urgently, "You said you would help me!"
He Sirui turned off the recording on her phone. Seeing this, Liu Zhiwen’s eyes widened, "You were recording?"
"Yes, and I won’t go after An Junxi. Instead, I’ll become her good friend. This recording is my token of sincerity. Pretending to be a friend and kind to get close, isn’t that your usual trick?"
Liu Zhiwen’s face twisted, "Do you think An Junxi will trust you?"
"Compared to you, she will be more willing to trust me. Alright, our friendship ends here. You can leave now."
Liu Zhiwen lunged at her in fury, "Are you playing me? No one can play me!"
He Sirui picked up her phone and smashed it on Liu Zhiwen’s head. Liu Zhiwen blocked it with her hand, then He Sirui swung a pillow at her, knocking Liu Zhiwen down, unable to stand for a moment.
He Sirui kicked her twice and then picked up a wine bottle, smashing it hard on Liu Zhiwen’s hand. The pain was excruciating, and Liu Zhiwen couldn’t even scream.
He Sirui let out a breath, "Still want to fight me? You need to be taught a lesson. Get out!"
Liu Zhiwen hated this woman who bit back, "He Sirui, you..."
He Sirui picked up her phone again and kicked Liu Zhiwen, "I told you to get out, didn’t you hear?"
Liu Zhiwen curled up in pain. Seeing He Sirui pick up the wine bottle again, she forgot the pain and crawled out the door as fast as she could.
He Sirui replayed the recording on her phone and started to smile. With a bit of editing, this recording would be perfect.
An Junxi would be moved by her sincerity.
Liu Zhiwen hastily fled to the street, afraid of being recognized. She didn’t even dare to go to the hospital, opting for a small clinic to bandage her hand.
Just like that, everyone kicks you when you’re down. Now that she’s at her wits’ end, everyone wishes to crush her further.
Fortunately, she wasn’t stupid and didn’t tell He Sirui everything.
She called Gu Qianlan’s temporary number, "Qianlan, didn’t you want to clear things up with my cousin? I’ll take you to him."
Gu Qianlan answered in the hospital corridor, "I don’t have time now, let’s talk in a few days." She did want to clear things up with Yin Feibai. Two years ago, she left the country in defeat, and he didn’t even ask how she was doing. He was just worried about why An Junxi wanted a divorce from her brother. She had to get to the bottom of this.
"I can’t wait a few days. An Junxi is being unfaithful to your brother. Even after returning to Yan City, she flirts with my cousin. Don’t you want your brother to know what kind of woman he likes?"
Gu Qianlan hesitated for a moment, "Fine, I’ll go with you to see him." She knew Yin Feibai liked An Junxi. An Junxi is a married woman but still entangled with other men. Why couldn’t her brother see it?
Liu Zhiwen said, "Before going to the Yin Family, it’s best if you go home and fetch something."
"What thing? I can’t go home."
Liu Zhiwen said, "It’s very important. You must go back to get it. As for what it is, I’ll tell you tomorrow."
Gu Qianlan hung up and thought for a moment, but couldn’t figure out what was worth the risk of going home.
She decided to stop thinking about it and opened the door to the ward.
It was a common ward, with seven or eight patients. The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant mixed with other odors, making her want to vomit.
She had been in and out of here for many days but still couldn’t get used to the environment.
Since she was young, any fever or cold was treated by a family doctor at home. Even if hospitalization was needed, the private hospitals had environments similar to her home. It was her first time realizing how chaotic a common ward could be.
She walked to the bed at the far end and said to the man lying there, "What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it."
You Ran lay there half-dead, "Don’t worry about me. I can’t afford Miss Gu’s service."
Gu Qianlan was used to You Ran’s cold words, "I’ve borrowed some money. Tomorrow, I can get you transferred to a better ward."
You Ran wiped his stubble-covered face, "Miss Gu still loves throwing money at people. Good for you."
Gu Qianlan finally got angry, "What else do you want? I’ve degraded myself to this for you. I’ve never suffered this much since I was young!"
"I never asked for your service. Besides, would I be lying here if not for you?"
Gu Qianlan admitted her guilt, "Yes, your car accident was caused by me. If your right hand has residual effects and you can’t take good pictures anymore, it’s also my fault!"
"Of course, it’s your fault," You Ran said, "Leave the money and go. Don’t entangle with me anymore, or I’ll report you to the Gu Family."
"You dare? My brother would break your legs if he saw you."
"No problem, my legs are already broken."
