Chapter 170 Shirley Has No Way Out
"Bang!"
Just then, the door was kicked down from the outside.
Gu Ye appeared at the door.
Shirley was terrified when she saw Gu Ye, and cold sweat poured down her face.
Gu Ye?! I didn't expect him to find us so quickly.
Shirley knew that being with Gu Ye would only make her feel worse than dead.
She secretly hid while Gu Ye wasn't looking for her.
Gu Ye did not notice her. The first thing he saw was Chu Xinglan, who was being held by Mao Wu. When he saw Mao Wu raise the knife in his hand to stab Chu Xinglan, his heart skipped a beat.
Mao Wu was startled by the sudden sound of the door being kicked, and his hand paused abruptly.
Chu Xinglan seized the opportunity, grabbed Mao Wu's arm that was holding the knife, and took a bite.
Mao Wu screamed in pain and slapped Chu Xinglan across the face.
Gu Ye reacted quickly, rushing forward and kicking Mao Wu away. At the same time, he stretched out his long arm, grabbed Chu Xinglan, and pulled her to his side.
Chu Xinglan fell heavily into Gu Ye's arms, where he held her tightly. She could clearly hear Gu Ye's frantic cries of heartache.
He was terrified by her dangerous situation and hadn't calmed down yet.
Seeing Gu Ye, Chu Xinglan was completely relieved. She gently pressed her face against Gu Ye's chest, listening to his heartbeat, which was also a way of telling him that she was safe.
Shirley was consumed by jealousy as she watched the two embracing, but she knew this was not the time to be jealous. Taking advantage of Gu Ye's inattention, she secretly ran out the door.
Gu Ye noticed Shirley. He would not let anyone who hurt Chu Xinglan get away with it, but for now, he should deal with Mao Wu first.
Mao Wu struggled to his feet. He felt a salty, thick taste in his mouth, and when he touched it, he found a clump of blood.
Unexpectedly, this man kicked him so hard that he bled.
This man must be Gu Ye, the one they were talking about! He really is a terrifying man. Even just standing there, he exudes an imposing aura that sends shivers down your spine.
Thinking of his dead brothers and knowing he was going to die, Mao Wu fearlessly picked up a knife and prepared to fight Gu Ye to the death.
Before the knife in his hand could even reach Gu Ye, Gu Ye kicked him to the ground, and then kicked him away again.
Mao Wu winced in pain and was about to get up when he swung his fists and charged at Gu Ye again. But Gu Ye used his toes to pick up the knife that had fallen to the ground and slashed it across Mao Wu's neck in a flash.
Mao Wu felt a piercing pain in his neck. He touched it and blood gushed uncontrollably from the wound.
Mao Wu slowly collapsed in agony, kneeling on the ground, and soon died.
"Lanlan, are you alright?" Gu Ye looked at Chu Xinglan anxiously, and felt heartbroken when he saw the bruises on her face and body.
"These are just minor injuries, nothing serious," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
"I'm too late." Gu Ye felt heartbroken. If she had found her sooner, she might not have suffered so much.
Chu Xinglan shook her head and smiled again.
"You've come at just the right time."
Shirley fled in a sorry state through the woods, but Gu Ye had already laid a trap, and she feared she had no chance of escape.
"Shirley, you have nowhere to run now."
Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan appeared in front of Shirley.
Shirley stared blankly at the man she had always loved, feeling angry, annoyed, and unwilling to accept it.
"Gu Ye, I love you so much, why are you treating me like this for this woman?"
Shirley pointed sharply at Chu Xinglan: "What exactly is it about me that I lack compared to her?"
"You're not even worth a hair on her head," Gu Ye said coldly.
Hearing Gu Ye's words, Shirley laughed maniacally. "Heh, so what if she's so good? Don't forget how many men she was played with in her past life. Even if you're reborn, don't you feel uncomfortable when you're being intimate with her?"
Sherry's almost mocking words deeply pierced Chu Xinglan's heart.
Regardless of whether Gu Ye felt disgusted or not, she herself felt dirty, and even after being reborn, this was still a knot in her heart.
Gu Ye seemed to sense Chu Xinglan's heartache, and he hugged her tightly.
“In my heart, she is the most flawless woman in the world. Shirley, since you care so much about your reputation, then I will make you feel the humiliation you suffered in your past life again.”
Gu Ye gave a cold laugh.
Sherry's body trembled inexplicably. Her past experiences caused an involuntary muscle reaction; she didn't want to experience that pain and despair a second time.
"Gu Ye, don't come any closer." Shirley staggered backward.
"Since you know my methods, you should have hidden yourself and not come out to wander around. You still don't know how to repent and are trying to hurt Lanlan again."
Gu Ye's every word was filled with fury.
Sherry retreated step by step, when suddenly she heard a deep, muffled sound of rocks rolling into the sea behind her. She turned around and saw a cliff behind her, with the bottomless sea below.
Hearing the roar of the sea crashing against the rocks, Shirley was terrified, but when she turned around and saw the equally terrifying Gu Ye, she knew how terrible the consequences would be if she fell into Gu Ye's hands.
"Gu Ye, do you know how unwilling I am? I've followed you for ten years, a full ten years. Every day I hoped you would look at me even just once more."
“But you only see my work ability, and you never see me as a woman.”
“I’ve been with you since I was eighteen, giving you all the best years of my life. I never had any contact with other men, my heart and eyes were only for you. Since you valued my abilities, I wanted to use them to attract you. But in the end, you suddenly married someone else, a mere greenhorn. How could I accept that? Although you two didn’t have a passionate love, the thought of someone else becoming Mrs. Gu, of another woman sharing your bed every day, drove me mad. Do you know how I was when you were sleeping in the same bed with your wife? I was consumed by jealousy, enduring excruciating torment every day, and the next day I still had to smile at you, watching you leave your new wife with a hint of reluctance.”
"I never gave you any hope; it was all wishful thinking on your part. You can't blame anyone else," Gu Ye said coldly.
“Yes, it was wishful thinking on my part, an unrealistic love I was indulging in, but what right did she have?” Shirley stared at Chu Xinglan with resentment and jealousy. “She clearly had someone else in her heart back then. How could you love a woman who had someone else in her heart?”
"Yes, that's why. Because she has someone else in her heart and is giving you the cold shoulder, I underestimated your feelings for her. While you were in a meeting, I took your phone and gave her false information, making her think you were talking business with a client in a hotel. I didn't expect that idiot would actually believe it."
