Chapter 37 Dressed so provocatively, are you offering yourself up for bed?
Was she just imagining things?
"Gu Huaizhou."
"Don't you have even the slightest bit of affection for me?"
After knowing each other for so many years, this was the first time Xie Jiaoyue had addressed Gu Huaizhou by his full name.
To be honest, it's very embarrassing for a girl to ask such a question in front of a man she's admired for many years.
Xie Jiaoyue felt embarrassed and sad, and her eyes reddened with grievance.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for that little girl with tears welling up in her eyes?
"I'm sorry, Miss Xie."
"Perhaps I did something that caused Miss Xie to misunderstand me. But I have never had any romantic feelings for Miss Xie."
Gu Huaizhou's apology was sincere and humble.
But the more sincere he was, the more heartbroken Xie Jiaoyue became.
Because it makes her affections seem like a joke!
"I don't believe you! Gu Huaizhou, you're lying to me, aren't you!"
Xie Jiaoyue suddenly stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt, and rushed in, bypassing the screen.
She had to confront Gu Huaizhou and get to the bottom of things today.
But someone was quicker than her.
A bodyguard in gray appeared behind the screen, raised his nunchucks, and blocked Xie Jiaoyue at the back of the passage.
"Miss Xie, please step back."
The man said "please," but his hands, gripping the nunchucks, were ready to strike.
If Xie Jiaoyue dares to force her way in, he will knock her away with a stick.
Realizing that Gu Huaizhou truly didn't love her and that it was all just wishful thinking on her part, Xie Jiaoyue's heart was breaking.
Forced by the gray-clad bodyguards, she had no choice but to retreat step by step.
Suddenly, Xie Jiaoyue noticed a tall and handsome man appearing behind the screen, and her eyes lit up again.
"Gu Huaizhou."
Xie Jiaoyue stood on tiptoe, her hands resting on the gray-clad man's arms, staring longingly behind the screen, and asked unwillingly, "If you don't like me, why do you only allow me to get close to you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaizhou's voice suddenly turned several degrees colder, "Miss Xie, do you really not know the reason? Or do you insist that I explain it clearly today?"
Xie Jiaoyue bit her red lips in embarrassment.
She knew in her heart that the reason Gu Huaizhou treated her differently was because of what happened twelve years ago.
That year, Gu Huaizhou and his family of four were kidnapped, and his parents and brother were brutally murdered by a terrorist killer.
The assassin made a request to Gu Wentao—
If the Gu family can find a child willing to participate in the game, and if that child can find Gu Huaizhou's hiding place within seven days, then they will spare Gu Huaizhou's life.
But that's a psychopathic killer!
He cruelly murdered Gu Wentao's son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson, and even gouged out their eyes and sent them to the Gu family.
Who would dare play games with such a terrifying and twisted killer?
Finally, Xie Jiaoyue participated in that game.
She successfully found Gu Huaizhou and saved his life.
Xie Jiaoyue is the benefactor of the Gu family.
Because of his childhood experiences, Gu Huaizhou suffers from extreme social anxiety and severe emotional disorders, and has no affection for any young women.
Xie Jiaoyue was able to get close to Gu Huaizhou because of the life-saving grace she received twelve years ago.
In fact, Xie Jiaoyue never really got close to Gu Huaizhou, because every time they met, there was a screen between them.
She was no different from the other women.
"Since Miss Xie doesn't understand, then I'll explain it to you clearly."
Gu Huaizhou stared at Xie Jiaoyue through the screen and said almost ruthlessly, "Without the life-saving grace twelve years ago, you, like other women, wouldn't even have the right to step into the Gu family manor."
"I have always felt only gratitude towards Miss Xie, and I have never had any romantic feelings for her."
I knew it...
Xie Jiaoyue covered her face and wept bitterly, "Gu Huaizhou, you are so cruel!"
As someone with severe emotional disorder, Xie Jiaoyue's tears could not soften Gu Huaizhou's heart at all.
He stated frankly, "Over the years, with the help of the Gu family, the Xie family has grown the company bigger and bigger, and now Zhaixing Entertainment is one of the three giants in the mainland film and television industry."
"Ms. Xie has also built up a lot of connections and attracted a lot of investment by marketing the relationship between us."
"The Gu family has done so much, the debt of saving my life can be repaid. In the future, please do not release any more of those suggestive statements to the public."
At this point, Gu Huaizhou's words were no longer an explanation or reminder, but a warning.
Xie Jiaoyue was completely heartbroken.
"Miss Xie, I wish you a bright future and a successful career."
Upon hearing Gu Huaizhou's blessing and realizing it was a farewell message, Xie Jiaoyue burst into tears.
The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became.
Her breakdown and Gu Huaizhou's composure unfolded simultaneously in this room, creating a stark contrast.
"It's getting late, Xue Hen, why don't you take Miss Xie home?"
The male bodyguard named Xue Hen bowed respectfully and gestured for Xie Jiaoyue to leave. "Miss Xie, please!"
Xie Jiaoyue was led out by the bodyguards looking utterly dejected, and almost tripped and fell to the ground because she stepped on the hem of her overly long skirt.
Fortunately, Xue Hen grabbed Xie Jiaoyue's arm in time, "Miss Xie, be careful."
As soon as she regained her footing, Xie Jiaoyue angrily shook off Xue Hen's hand, "Don't touch me!"
Xie Jiaoyue wiped away her tears and walked along the corridor to the living room. She looked up and met Li Xi's eyes, who was standing in the living room.
"Li Xi?" Xie Jiaoyue was stunned, forgetting all her sadness and grief.
She angrily questioned Li Xi, "What are you doing here!"
Li Xi smiled jokingly and said ambiguously, "Of course, Mr. Gu asked me to come."
Mr. Gu is still Mr. Gu!
Li Xi is a good girl; she didn't lie.
However, Xie Jiaoyue subconsciously interpreted Mr. Gu as Gu Huaizhou.
Recalling the harsh words Li Xi uttered when he returned to the Xie family to move his luggage that day, Xie Jiaoyue was so angry that she bit her lip until it bled.
"Li Xi, what exactly did you do to Gu Huaizhou to make him look at you differently!"
Li Xi said frankly, "I didn't need anything, but the Gu family took the initiative to invite me over. That's probably their damn charm."
"Vixen!" Xie Jiaoyue rushed towards Li Xi without regard for anything else.
She ripped off Li Xi's coat and stared at her dazzlingly white back exposed to the cold air. Xie Jiaoyue cursed her without thinking, "Dressed so provocatively, are you here to offer yourself up?"
"Li Xi, I'm warning you, you can seduce anyone, but you can't seduce Gu Huaizhou!"
"You slut, I'm going to tear your face to shreds today!"
First, Old Master Gu denied her identity at the banquet and took the initiative to introduce her to blind dates, blocking her way to marry into the Gu family.
Later, Gu Huaizhou rejected her heartlessly, scolding her for being delusional.
The constant stream of shocks had already clouded Xie Jiaoyue's judgment. Seeing Li Xi suddenly at Gu Huaizhou's residence completely shattered her willpower.
She has gone crazy.
She now has only one thought in mind—
It ruined Li Xi's most beautiful face, making it impossible for her to get close to Gu Huaizhou.
