Chapter 82 - Growing Suspicion
Chapter 82: Growing Suspicion
Zhou Yun’er felt quite depressed and exaggerated today’s story to Su Yurou.
Su Yurou was not in the mood to listen to Zhou Yun’er pouring out her woes. What reverberated repeatedly in her heart was the words Zhou Yun’er said in the beginning.
Su Wan was married! She was married!
Gu Zihang, who was beside her, heard Su Yurou’s shocking scream. “Su Wan is married!” His body trembled uncontrollably and he dropped his phone.
Why did Su Wan get married all of a sudden?
They knew each other since they were children. When they were young, Su Wan liked to stick to Gu Zihang and trail behind him, saying she would marry him when she grew up.
Even though he had let Su Wan down, hadn’t she been head over heels in love with him all this while?
Su Wan just returned from abroad a month or so ago, how could she love another man so easily and get into a flash marriage?
The more Gu Zihang thought about it, the more he felt sick at heart. He and Su Wan grew up together as childhood lovers and they had not even kissed one another.
However, another man could rightly and properly own her now!
It was he who abandoned Su Wan and chose Su Yurou in the first place but this was probably the ‘b*tchy’ nature in him working. Even if this was the case, he didn’t wish for Su Wan to marry someone like that.
Su Wan had gotten married in a flash and she seemed to be able to part with him so easily. Gu Zihang was not willing.
Gu Zihang kept thinking and the veins on his hand was showing. He quickly asked Su Yurou, “Who told you Wan is married? She liked me so much, it’s impossible. Impossible!”
Su Yurou did not believe the news completely. Now that she saw that Gu Zihang had a greater response than her, thick jealousy and hatred arose in her heart.
She had put forth all her effort these three years but had not managed to get Gu Zihang to forget Su Wan!
Gu Zihang’s chain of interrogations, one louder than the other, made Su Yurou recall herself that year.
That year, Su Wan had left the country because of her parent’s death and Su Yurou had used evil means to get Gu Zihang drunk and to mistake her for Su Wan. Because of that, they had a one night stand.
Su Yurou had no other way to snatch Gu Zihang, who loved Su Wan dearly. That night had been her most humiliating night. The man was hugging her but calling another woman’s name.
At that moment, that familiar sense of humiliation came crawling into Su Yurou’s heart.
Su Yurou’s brows knitted slightly and her white teeth bit her moist lips. She appeared to be innocent and alluring.
“There was a classmates’ gathering today. This news came from one of my classmates. She said Su Wan admitted it herself!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zihang fell and sat down heavily as if he had lost all his energy.
Suddenly, all sorts of emotions were surging in Gu Zihang’s mind. For a moment, he couldn’t differentiate if he was feeling bitter over their affection in their younger days or if he was jealous of the man who could marry Su Wan.
Gu Zihang could not accept this truth. Was Su Wan avenging for his engagement to her cousin sister?
She even got married before him on purpose?
Initially, Gu Zihang thought he did not care about Su Wan but when he knew about Su Wan’s marriage, he roared in a low voice like he had gone crazy. Then, he threw the blanket and pillows violently onto the ground.
The things he threw almost hit Su Yurou!
As they were all bedding material, the sound of them dropping onto the ground was not loud but that vigorous gesture sent shivers down Su Yurou’s spine.
Su Yurou widened her big eyes, staring at Gu Zihang. Was he crazy?
Su Wan was just a woman he had abandoned earlier on. Even if she was married all of a sudden, was it worth getting angry for?
Or rather, did Gu Zihang still harbor feelings towards Su Wan?
At the thought of this terrifying possibility, Su Yurou’s eyes became red. No, she would not allow such thing to happen!
Su Yurou walked toward Gu Zihang and squatted down in front of him. She tugged Gu Zihang’s sleeves ingratiatingly.
“Zihang, are you alright?”
Gu Zihang’s eyes were red. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Su Yurou with a pitiful look, leaning against the side of his leg. That delicate face showed fear and uneasiness, more so her worries for him.
For a moment, Gu Zihang realized he was about to be engaged to Su Yurou. How could he do such things in front of his woman?
Yurou had been thoughtful and stayed beside him these three years. Even if he was once her cousin sister’s boyfriend, she was willing to bear being called the third party and insisted on being with him.
Such deep feelings! How could he easily let her down?
Su Yurou’s beautiful face trembled. She sniffed and tears fell from her eyes. Her gloomy look was weak but she was consoling Gu Zihang, as if pretending to be strong.
Gu Zihang was ashamed of himself. Unconsciously, he held Su Yurou’s hands.
“I’m sorry, Yurou, have I scared you? Are you alright?”
Su Yurou half-squatted beside Gu Zihang. Her voice was low and a little husky, and there was yearning on her now haggard face.
“Zihang, since Wan returned, you’ve been acting strangely. Since the day you kept staring at Wan in Aloes Tea House, I know it’s been difficult for you to forget her after so many years of being with her.”
“No, I…” Gu Zihang wanted to deny but before he could finish his words, he saw Su Yurou’s pale face and was stunned. He felt the woman in front of him made his heart ache.
He had been a b*stard just now and the pillow he threw almost hit Su Yurou.
Su Yurou seemed to be controlling her tears. She tilted her face up slightly but her tears kept falling.
“Zihang, Wan is married. I know you feel sad but you still have me! We are going to be engaged soon. Although Wan got married so fast, doesn’t it show that you are not in her heart anymore?”
As she spoke, she blinked her teary eyes and suddenly thought of something.
“Something’s not right. We know all the men whom Wan knows in this country. She doesn’t know any other men. Perhaps she met him in Dong Chen Country.”
This had made Gu Zihang’s suspicion arise quickly.
Yurou was right. He knew every man from Su Wan’s social circle in Jiuzhou but it was impossible for any of them to marry Su Wan. Since Su Wan was married, had she found a boyfriend when she was in Dong Chen Country?
With Su Wan’s beauty and talent, even if she was in a new environment, she would still have many suitors around her.
When this thought arose, Gu Zihang clenched his fists and hit the blanket with a great blow. He could abandon Su Wan, but what right did Su Wan have to betray him first?
