Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 16 Gu Yu's Appearance

Having learned of Su Jinxiu's current reputation, the scumbag Gu Yu tries to return and curry favor with her. He runs into Su Jinxiu while she's out and attempts to deceive her with sweet words.

That day, Su Jinxiu went out shopping with her maid Xiaocui. On the bustling street, Gu Yu suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Jinxiu, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful and charming." Gu Yu said with a fake smile.

The moment Su Jinxiu saw him, a wave of disgust washed over her, but she quickly composed herself and coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Yu seemed oblivious to her coldness and continued, "Jinxiu, I was wrong in the past. I didn't cherish you enough. Now I regret it deeply. I only beg you to give me another chance."

Su Jinxiu snorted coldly: "Gu Yu, do you think I'd still believe your nonsense?"

Gu Yu quickly explained, "Jinxiu, I mean it. I've missed you day and night ever since you left."

Su Jinxiu looked at him mockingly: "Miss me? Back then, you colluded with Su Yue and made me suffer so much. Now that my reputation is rising, you want to take advantage of me. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Gu Yu's expression changed slightly, but he was still unwilling to give up: "Jinxiu, it's all a misunderstanding. It was that bitch Su Yue who stirred up trouble. I was bewitched by her."

At this moment, people around began to gather to watch the spectacle, pointing and whispering.

Su Jinxiu didn't want to get entangled with him in public, so she turned to leave.

Gu Yu grabbed her sleeve and said, "Jinxiu, let me finish."

Su Jinxiu forcefully shook off his hand: "Gu Yu, don't touch me! I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Xiao Cui shouted from the side, "You shameless scoundrel, let go of my young lady!"

Seeing this, Gu Yu knew that he would not succeed at this moment, so he said, "Jinxiu, I will not give up. I will let you see my true feelings."

After saying that, he slunk away.

Back at the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu was in a bad mood.

"Miss, don't worry about that scumbag. He's just a greedy and treacherous person," Xiao Cui comforted her.

Su Jinxiu sighed: "I just didn't expect him to still have the nerve to show his face."

Meanwhile, Gu Yu did not give up and decided to start with the people around Su Jinxiu.

He bribed a servant in the Marquis's mansion to find out Su Jinxiu's daily whereabouts and preferences.

One day, Su Jinxiu was taking a walk in the garden when Gu Yu suddenly appeared, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Jinxiu, I picked these flowers especially for you, symbolizing that my love for you will never change," Gu Yu said.

Su Jinxiu glared at him angrily: "Gu Yu, how long are you going to keep bothering me?"

Gu Yu feigned deep affection: "Jinxiu, I know you're still angry with me, but I will prove my love with my actions."

Just then, Xiao Ling arrived. Seeing Gu Yu harassing Su Jinxiu, his face instantly darkened.

"Who are you? How dare you harass Miss Su here!" Xiao Ling shouted.

Gu Yu was startled when he saw Xiao Ling, but he still forced himself to say, "Jinxiu and I are old acquaintances."

Xiao Ling sneered, "Old acquaintance? I think you have ulterior motives."

Gu Yu dared not confront Xiao Ling and slunk away.

Xiao Ling asked Su Jinxiu with concern, "Did he do anything to you?"

Su Jinxiu shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. He's just a shameless scoundrel."

Xiao Ling said, "If anyone harasses you again in the future, be sure to tell me."

Su Jinxiu felt a warmth in her heart: "Okay."

However, Gu Yu did not stop there. He spread rumors that Su Jinxiu still had feelings for him and tried to ruin her reputation.

These rumors reached Xiao Ling's ears, causing him some doubts.

"Jinxiu, about those rumors about Gu Yu, you..." Xiao Ling hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Su Jinxiu firmly said, "Your Highness, those are all nonsense. I have long since severed all ties with him."

Xiao Ling looked into her eyes and chose to believe her.

In order to completely get rid of Gu Yu, Su Jinxiu decided to collect evidence of his crimes so that he would never be able to cause trouble again.

After some investigation, she discovered that Gu Yu had accumulated huge debts and committed many illegal acts.

Su Jinxiu handed over the evidence to the authorities, and Gu Yu was eventually brought to justice.

With Gu Yu resolved, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling's relationship became even stronger.
