“If I just have to spend money on public relations, I can do it myself.

Gu Zeyan listened to her quietly. “…Xiaoyu, is Wanwan really your sister?”

His sudden words made Sang Yu’s heart skip a beat. She blurted out almost without thinking,

“If she’s not my sister, is she yours?”

“I’m just curious. What did you do during the few months when you suddenly disappeared? It’s fine if you have the company’s shares in your hands, but do you really think it’s normal to have a younger sister?”

Sang Yu placed her hand on her chest and pressed down on her nervous heart.

“How is it abnormal? I think only people with dark thoughts would think that everything is abnormal!”

“Then why are you so nervous?” asked Kubei immediately.

Sang Yu gulped and clenched her fists.

“I didn’t…”

“Xiaoyu, I really hope Wanwan is your sister…”

Sang Yu bit her lips tightly and remained silent.

However, Gu Zeyan continued, “So, is she really your sister?”

This question had been suppressed in Kubei Yan’s heart for a long time. Those few months when she disappeared without a trace and the sudden appearance of a younger sister after her reappearance made it easy for others to think of other things.

He had always known that Sang Yu’s parents had a good relationship. It was impossible for Uncle to have a child with another woman a year after his wife left.

If that was the case, why couldn’t he find out who Wanwan’s mother was?

Since her uncle had left, that woman must have some news.

“What do you mean?”

“Even if you really hide something for Wanwan, it’s fine as long as she has nothing to do with Bo Jinhang.”

“It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to know too much…”

“Xiaoyu.” Gu Beichen stopped her. “Have you ever thought that even if the media doesn’t find anything, what about Bo Jinhang? Can you guarantee that he doesn’t care about this at all?”

Sang Yu’s body trembled slightly. “…What is he investigating? Wanwan is my sister…”

“Xiaoyu, I’ve said it before. Are you nervous now? Why?”

Caught off guard, Sang Yu’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know what to say, but she hung up instinctively.

Wanwan looked up at her, her big eyes filled with confusion.

“Xiaoyu, are you afraid of something? Did Uncle Gu bully you?”

Sang Yu stared at Wanwan for a long time before shaking her head slowly. “…No.”

Wanwan was still worried as she caressed Sang Yu’s stomach.

“Don’t be afraid. Protect Xiaoyu tonight.”

Sang Yu’s eyes were filled with gentleness as she rubbed Wanwan’s head.

“I’ll definitely protect Wanwan too.”

At that moment, the message rang. It was from Kubei Yan.

“It’s best if we meet. I’ll pick you up later.”

“There’s no need.”

After replying, Sang Yu put her phone away coldly.

In forty minutes, Sang Yu was in the kitchen, but she didn’t manage to cook much.

Aunt Zhao had already ordered her to leave several times. In the end, Wanwan shouted that she was hungry outside. Sang Yu had no choice but to give up the opportunity to study in the afternoon and walked out of the dining room.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Kubei Yan appeared at the door.

Sang Yu frowned. “You didn’t receive my message?”

“I think it’s necessary. For the company, Wanwan, and you…”

“Don’t say it’s for me!”

Sang Yu interrupted him coldly, “What do you know? What do you want to prove? What do you think I can’t get over now?”

“The only time in my life when I almost broke my spine has passed! I can even survive the betrayal of the person I trust the most and the only person I can trust. What else can I not survive now?”

Gu Beiyan pursed his lips. “Xiaoyu, you should know that I have no intention of hurting you. I’ve never…”

Sang Yu knew that she had lost control of her emotions. She took a deep breath and realized that Wanwan was looking up at them in confusion.

Gu Beichen said, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Sang Yu knew that if she rejected him now, he wouldn’t go back so easily, but…

She looked in the direction of the second floor and took her coat. As she put it on, she said to Wanwan, “Wanwan, be good and play with Grandma Zhao at home. I’m going out for a while.”

Wanwan hugged her leg. “Xiaoyu, will you be bullied?”

Sang Yu smiled lightly. “Ask Uncle Gu.”

Wanwan turned to look at Gu Zeyan, her big eyes probing.

Gu Beixuan smiled faintly and said, “I can’t wait to like Xiaoyu. How can I bear to bully her?”

Wanwan smiled happily. “Does Uncle Gu like Xiaoyu?”

Kubei Yan nodded. “Of course.”

“But you can only like a little. You can’t like everything.”

The smile on Kubei Yan’s face froze for a moment.

Lips pursed in a smile, she said nothing more.

Sang Yu stroked Wanwan’s head.

She put on her coat and walked out.

“You won’t even let me in?”

Sang Yu walked quickly to the elevator. “It’s not convenient at home.”

Gu Beixuan chuckled. “To avoid suspicion? Or is Bo Jinghang at home?”

“No matter the reason, shouldn’t I?”

The smile on Gu Beixuan’s face gradually faded. “Since you care so much about him and your marriage looks blissful, why did you have to sacrifice yourself and send yourself to me back then?”

“With the Bo family’s strength, as long as he wants to, as long as he generously gives you enough money or exerts some pressure, he can take back some of the scattered shares for you. Why would you need to be troubled for so long? That includes cheating on him?”

Gu Beiyan’s words were laced with anger. Sang Yu was furious immediately, but she didn’t say anything.

She felt a chill run down her spine at the mention of the past.

Sending her to him?

Making a cuckold out of Bo Jinghang?

Her lips tightened and she fell silent.

Besides her, who else knew that Bo Jinhang was the one who made her a cuckold and tried to seduce him?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“What do you want to say?” Sang Yu asked coldly as she looked up at him. “What do you want to say to me today?”

The elevator door opened and Sang Yu stepped out. Gu Beichen followed behind.

Looking at her cold and determined back, he suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.

“Xiaoyu…”

Sang Yu struggled immediately. After failing, she looked up at him angrily.

“What are you doing?!”

“Do you hate me that much? Do you hate me for abandoning you back then? I didn’t help you or give you the shares in the Gu family, right?”

“Yes! Yes!” Sang Yu’s scalp was about to explode as she suddenly admitted with a low growl.

“Why wouldn’t I hate you? You’re my boyfriend, the one who threatened to protect me for the rest of my life! I believed you, Gu Beiyan! Do you think that abandoning me and not helping me and not giving me the Gu family’s shares isn’t worth hating?”

“Maybe it’s…”

“You can choose not to give it to me. You can choose not to help me or abandon me. You can choose not to do anything! This way, I will hate you less…”

Sang Yu rarely lost control. This time, her eyes were red.

She stared at him, teetering on the edge of an angry breakdown.

“But you gave the shares to my Second Uncle… Why? If it weren’t for you, the company’s sovereignty wouldn’t have fallen into Second Uncle’s hands so openly. I’ve been working day and night in the company for so many years. I’ve exerted all my energy to deal with Second Uncle and didn’t allow myself to make any mistakes to prevent myself from being kicked out of the company… I’m too tired. Who am I? Why should I survive in that pack of tigers and wolves? Do you know how tired I was alone? At that time, who else could I have besides you? Who could help me?!”

“Of course I hate you. What is there about you that makes me forgive you? Why don’t I hate you?!”

Gu Beixuan’s face was filled with guilt and pain.

“Xiaoyu, I just want you to be free… I can give you a good life. If it’s Uncle and Auntie, they won’t want you to work so hard for the company…”

Sang Yu sneered. “If you didn’t betray me in the end, I wouldn’t have to work so hard! Do you know what I want? Give me a good enough life. Can you give me my parents too?”

Gu Beichen was speechless.

“If you can’t, then don’t make a decision for me! Why should I give my father’s company to others? You have no idea what I really want!”

“So, you can do anything for the company? Is this the reason why you came to Bo Jinhang?”

Sang Yu looked straight at him. “Yes! Only he can help me!”

Gu Beichen grabbed her arm tightly. “Where’s the child? Where’s Wanwan? Sangyu, how did you find Bo Jinhang? What did you do during the few months you disappeared?”

Sang Yu flung his hand away. “I’ve already made it clear to you. My matters have nothing to do with you from now on. It’s the same for Wanwan! You’d better disappear from my sight forever!”

Gu Beichen’s heart tightened and he suddenly went forward to hug Sang Yu tightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Xiaoyu, don’t be stubborn. I was wrong, I was wrong. I’ll give you all my shares, okay? As long as you come back to me, I’ll make it up to you…”

Sang Yu struggled for a while and froze when she heard the word ‘share’.

Gu Beichen could clearly feel her pause and continued, “You don’t have to be with me so quickly. Xiaoyu, I’ll give you time. I’ll give you enough time. As long as you give me a chance to get along with you… With the shares, you don’t have to be careful in front of Bo Jinghang anymore… You don’t have to suffer so much anymore… He has a lot of scandals and entertainment. Yesterday, the bar fought over a woman. You’ll be implicated sooner or later. Remember that you’re not alone…”

“I’ll help you with the company’s matters. Why do you have to make yourself so unhappy?”

Sang Yu was speechless. Yes, only a fool would make her unhappy.

She didn’t even have the right to care about other women’s scandals…

Such an unconventional marriage, a marriage that could end at any time, yet she had persisted until now…

Why did she do that…

Sang Yu pushed her away in a daze.

“Xiaoyu…”

“Let me think.”

Instead of entering the elevator, she walked out.

She looked a little lost, but she walked straight into the park.

In the end, she sat on the bench and kept recalling what had happened in the past…

Bo Jinghang would divorce her sooner or later.
