Before unfolding it, Dong Xin Yan had already seen the eye-catching front-page headline on the newspaper - "Gu Family’s Eldest Young Master is Affectionate with Miss Yuan, while Dong is rely a smoke screen."
Dong Xin Yan imdiately spread open this page of the newspaper, her black eyes fixed on it, and read it carefully.
Gu Ningyi stated that the recent cancellation of the engagent between him and Zhou Yalin had caused speculation and discussion, leading to the creation of nurous unfounded rumors, severely impacting his personal image and love life. As such, he no longer wishes to aggrieve the woman he truly loves, so he has decided to make his relationship public. His true lover is Yuan Shi, and they are about to get engaged.
The brief report scarcely ntioned her, yet every word and sentence emphasized that Dong Xin Yan and Gu Ningyi were utterly unrelated and baseless.
Before, when rumors spread, no matter how she explained or argued, no one believed her. But the instant this news ca out, it easily removed her from it, even... transforming her from a despised and attacked third party to an innocent victim.
How could... this happen?
Others might not know what was going on between Gu Ningyi and Yuan Shi, but she knew. She had seen with her own eyes how Gu Ningyi treated Yuan Shi at the hospital.
Clearly, Yuan Shi had feelings for Gu Ningyi, but Gu Ningyi was indifferent.
How could he now be getting engaged to Yuan Shi?
And to release such news at this ti, could it be... a retaliation for Zhou Yalin’s earlier proposal to terminate the engagent?
But why choose this particular ti for revenge, when she was already in utter despair...
Suddenly, fragnted mories flashed through her mind. She furrowed her brows and involuntarily let out a soft groan.
Mrs. Cheng heard her voice and asked worriedly, "Xinxin, what’s wrong? Did sothing happen?"
Yet, she couldn’t clearly hear what Mrs. Cheng was saying over the phone and was suddenly imrsed in the fragnts flashing through her mind. She rembered waking up in the hospital yesterday, forgetting everything before her coma, and just now... it seed she rembered.
She recalled wandering aimlessly on the road, not knowing where to go, like a lost soul, until she lost strength and collapsed.
Then, soone caught her and held her in their embrace.
Her emotions broke down, she rambled incoherently, cried out in pain, and even clutched at the person, constantly pleading to return Ziyang to her.
Later, as she cried and her consciousness gradually blurred, she faintly heard the person holding her say, "Okay, I will return Cheng Ziyang to you."
And that person... seed to be... Gu Ningyi.
Dong Xin Yan unconsciously widened her eyes, her whole body as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.
If that person yesterday was Gu Ningyi, if he really agreed, then could it be that today’s news release was because of her?
The entire world suddenly seed illusory and twisted. She incredulously stepped back two paces and shook her head vigorously.
How could that be possible?
How could Gu Ningyi release such news just to clarify for her?
He always wished she would fare poorly, hoping for her misfortune. Not kicking her while she was down was already considered kind, so why would he want to help her?
