Chapter 12: Stand Someone Up
"No, this can't be true. Xiao, you must be doing this out of guilt, right? If my brother knew that we loved each other, he would definitely give us his blessing."
Watching Song Xuan spiral into hysteria, Gu Qixiao felt an intense impatience.
Especially when he heard her bringing up her brother again, the disgust on his face deepened.
"Enough. I've already told you it's impossible for us to be together. I don't want to hear such nonsense from you ever again."
Gu Qixiao, with a pounding headache, quickly delegated the issue to Assistant Li and went straight to the private room. However, when he arrived and saw Ji Yu sitting inside, an intense irritation welled up in him.
He had clearly told her before not to disrupt each other's lives anymore—especially since this woman was acquainted with the wife who had humiliated him with infidelity.
At this thought, Gu Qixiao didn't even bother to enter the room and left directly. Before leaving, he deliberately sent Assistant Li a message and turned to book another private room nearby.
He wanted to see for himself what this married woman, who had gone to great lengths to contact his father to lure him out, was truly after!
Meanwhile, Ji Yu kept glancing at the time on her phone, watching the minutes tick by. After waiting nearly an hour without seeing Gu Qixiao, she simply got up and left.
"Hey, Qinqin, this matter might require us to think it through long-term."
Feng Qinqin, who already knew Ji Yu hadn't managed to meet Gu Qixiao as planned, wasn't overly concerned. The Gu family, after halting the collaboration abruptly, would naturally have to give the Feng family an explanation.
