The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 161 Shu Weiting betrayed friendship

Shu Weiting was suddenly shocked by her own thoughts. How could she think like that? How could she be jealous of Chu Xinglan?

"Lanlan, can you stay in my room tonight?"

After the meal, Gu Ye, as if vying for favor, put his arm around Chu Xinglan and whispered softly.

Chu Xinglan's cheeks flushed slightly, but thinking of her best friend, she could only choose to wrong Gu Ye. She awkwardly pushed away Gu Ye, who was hugging her, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

It wasn't that she was afraid of rejecting Gu Ye, but with Shu Weiting there, Gu Ye was flirting with her as if no one else was around, which made her feel really embarrassed.

"I...I'll go check on Tingting."

Chu Xinglan hurriedly ran away from Gu Ye.

Gu Ye could only watch as Chu Xinglan walked into the bedroom.

"Tingting, what's wrong?"

Chu Xinglan came to Shu Weiting's side, looking at Shu Weiting with concern, afraid that she might do something rash.

"It's nothing." Shu Weiting concealed the darkness in her heart. She looked at Chu Xinglan, her feelings becoming somewhat complicated. "Lanlan, am I disturbing you here?"

Shu Weiting glanced at Gu Ye as she spoke.

If it were just Chu Xinglan, it wouldn't be a problem. They grew up together and sleeping together is fine. But there's also Gu Ye here. He and Chu Xinglan are a couple. It's normal for them to be affectionate and hug each other. But because of her presence, they are restraining themselves. And she doesn't want to watch them being lovey-dovey while she has to endure their lovey-dovey moments.

Especially now, as she faces coercion from a dangerous man, she feels even more desolate compared to Chu Xinglan, who is cherished and protected by Gu Ye.

"Tingting, please don't think like that. We've been together since we were little, and we've always supported each other through thick and thin. Now that something like this has happened to you, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Just stay here and relax." Chu Xinglan quickly reassured her.

Shu Weiting glanced at Chu Xinglan, who was wholeheartedly thinking of her, and said nothing more.

"Tingting, you must tell me if there's anything you need. I'll do anything I can to help you." Chu Xinglan held Shu Weiting's hand.

"I know, I'm so happy to be protected by you like this!" Shu Weiting smiled at Chu Xinglan and said sincerely.

Shu Weiting came out of the bathroom wearing Chu Xinglan's pajamas. The two women were about the same size, and they usually swapped clothes.

"Lanlan, you're so heartless! Ever since your best friend came, you've barely spoken to me."

Unaware of what was happening, Gu Ye suddenly hugged Shu Weiting from behind.

Shu Weiting was startled, and Gu Ye reacted immediately. He instantly let go of her hand, his handsome face turning cold.

At this moment, Chu Xinglan came out of the bedroom. She felt that there was something strange between Gu Ye and Shu Weiting, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

"Tingting, are you done washing up?"

Shu Weiting nodded.

Chu Xinglan glanced at Gu Ye, unsure of what to say, so she simply went to the bathroom without saying anything.

"I'm similar to Lanlan, so it's not surprising that you mistook me for Lanlan..."

Shu Weiting had originally intended to ease the awkward situation from earlier, but Gu Ye didn't say anything more.

Apart from Chu Xinglan, no other woman could stir even the slightest ripple in his heart, so even if he was switched at birth, it was as if nothing had happened to him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shu Weiting felt even more awkward and continued walking forward.

As Shu Weiting walked to the door, she heard Gu Ye making a phone call.

"Jackson!"

Shu Weiting's steps faltered inexplicably; those three words had become a nightmare for her.

She turned around and saw Gu Yejun's brows furrowed.

“Mr. Gu, it seems I underestimated your woman. I gave her a chance, so if anything happens to her, don’t blame me.”

"Jackson, you dare touch her? You know the consequences." Gu Ye's voice was cold and terrifying.

“I know how powerful you are, but I, Jackson, wasn’t born intimidated. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be afraid to fight you to the death. I’ve said what I needed to say. If you don’t want anything to happen to her, you should advise your woman to mind her own business and hand over my little kitten.”

Jackson said in a threatening tone.

Gu Ye gripped his phone tightly.

Shu Weiting quickly ran back to her bedroom, pretending she knew nothing. She secretly hid behind the door and observed Gu Ye.

Gu Ye will definitely make her drive him away for Chu Xinglan's sake, but what about Lanlan? Will she also abandon her for her own safety?

Shu Weiting felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it; it seemed she was truly trapped in a deadly situation!

When Chu Xinglan came out of the bathroom, she saw Gu Ye standing at the door.

"Gu Ye!"

"Lanlan, let's talk." Gu Ye reached out to grab Chu Xinglan's hand.

Chu Xinglan shook off his hand.

"We can talk slowly after this matter is over."

Right now, all she wants to do is stay with Shu Weiting and prevent her from overthinking, so she tries her best to avoid maintaining a close relationship with Gu Ye.

"Lanlan!"

Chu Xinglan sensed that Gu Ye's expression was not good, which might be related to Shu Weiting, and unfortunately, Shu Weiting's matter was her weakness.

"Gu Ye... I don't know if this matter will end, but I can't watch Tingting get hurt, so... if we're talking about her, my answer is still the same. After... it's over, I will make it up to you properly."

As Chu Xinglan spoke, she stopped looking at Gu Ye and walked forward with her head down.

Gu Ye stared at Chu Xinglan.

Does he care about her compensation? He cares about her life; nothing is more important than her life.

Since she has so firmly chosen this path, what can he say?

Not to mention Jackson, even if the sky were to fall, he would be there to hold it up for her.

When Chu Xinglan entered the room, Shu Weiting was pretending to be asleep. She had overheard the entire conversation between Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye.

Although Chu Xinglan firmly chose her, she knew that Chu Xinglan's power was weak, and the only person who could truly save her from this predicament was Gu Ye. As long as she captured Gu Ye, she would be safe and sound.

Shu Weiting sensed that Chu Xinglan was sleeping beside her.

The reason Gu Ye liked Chu Xinglan and firmly chose her was simply because she had slept with him. If... he had something with Gu Ye, perhaps the situation would be the same.

Shu Weiting suddenly had a bold but somewhat shameless idea: she wanted to get close to Gu Ye and have him protect her just like he protected Chu Xinglan.

Shu Weiting thought for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Xinglan beside her. Chu Xinglan was already asleep.

Shu Weiting quietly got up and slowly walked towards Gu Ye's bedroom, gently pushing open Gu Ye's door.

The bedroom was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight streaming in from the window.

Gu Ye slept by the window, his sleeping posture elegant.

Shu Weiting slowly walked to the bedside and climbed onto Gu Ye's bed.
