She just didn’t want things to beco more complicated, that’s all.
Gu Qixiao also understood what Ji Yu was thinking deep down in her heart, and now he was genuinely worried about her.
"Yu, listen to . I’m afraid sothing unexpected might happen."
He knew that Ji Yu’s emotions were undoubtedly complicated at the mont. Fundantally, this matter needed to ease her mind.
He decisively went directly to Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai wasn’t surprised by his arrival.
He had already anticipated that Gu Qixiao would co to talk to him.
"Gu Qixiao, you’ve co to talk to about Yu, haven’t you? Actually, our feelings might be deeper than you think. Even if you’re unconvinced now, it’s pointless. In Yu’s heart, I am definitely the most unforgettable person."
Gu Qixiao’s expression was very calm.
He and Ji Yu were already close to getting married. How could he start doubting her feelings for him over sothing like this?
"You probably don’t even believe the words you just said yourself. If Yu really loved you, you wouldn’t be in this state. Everything you’ve said—deep down, you should be the clearest about them yourself."
He didn’t want to see Ji Yu’s panicked and distressed expression again.
Those expressions were entirely tied to mories from the past.
"Back then, Yu’s doll must have been destroyed by you too, right? Soone like you... How can you still have the nerve to show up here?"
"Is that what she told you?" Jiang Huai seed to have heard sothing amusing, and even the look in his eyes carried a trace of pity.
"Back then, Ji Yu was indeed bullied, but I wasn’t one of the bullies. If it weren’t for , how would she have ended up where she is today?" There was a bit of nostalgia in his tone as he spoke.
Ji Yu from the past was soone who could now be considered worth rembering for him.
He had already forgotten many things from the past, but Ji Yu was the one person he could never forget in this lifeti.
"I helped her; she was supposed to be grateful to . But in the end, she betrayed . Do you know how awful that feels?"
As he spoke of this, there was even a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Yu would never betray you without a reason. Whatever you did must have crossed her bottom line, otherwise, how could sothing like this happen?"
Gu Qixiao understood Ji Yu well, which was why he firmly believed in her when things like this occurred. If Ji Yu truly were capable of doing sothing like that, then she wouldn’t be Ji Yu.
"It seems you really do know her well. But considering how good I’ve been to her, do you think it’s fair for her to betray ? Back then, whenever there was an issue, I helped her. Yet in the end, she stood there and watched as I burned alive. Was that really right?"
As he spoke about this matter, his tone carried a distinct sharpness.
Gu Qixiao understood that at that mont Jiang Huai must have been hoping Ji Yu would help him. But the ultimate result turned out to be terrible.
He knew clearly that the Ji Yu he knew today must have regretted what happened back then, but not regretted betraying Jiang Huai—regretted killing him.
"At that ti, no one could have explained things clearly. The crux of this whole matter is your own fault. You shouldn’t bla it on Yu now."
The thought of Ji Yu living so miserably back then made Gu Qixiao’s heart ache unbearably.
Even though Jiang Huai helped Ji Yu, it didn’t an all of the subsequent events could be erased.
Gu Qixiao’s position on this matter was undoubtedly clear—that he would always stand by Ji Yu’s side.
"Look at your current stance. No matter what Ji Yu did back then, you’re always on her side. But do you know what Ji Yu did to back then?"
The one thing he resented deeply was that Ji Yu didn’t choose to save him. Everything else seed irrelevant to him.
"The grievances between us have co this far and can no longer be peacefully resolved. If you truly believe that Ji Yu was right, then prepare for my revenge."
Ji Yu rarely got fixated on particular matters, but Jiang Huai’s issues were sothing Ji Yu wouldn’t be able to let go of for her entire life.
"Then I’d really like to see if you’re still so arrogant when the ti cos." His tone turned cold, and it was apparent he now fully understood—Jiang Huai had feelings for Ji Yu too.
If he didn’t like Ji Yu, how could he be so fixated on this?
"Yes, I actually quite want to keep Ji Yu around . Do you think at that ti you’d feel jealous of our relationship?"
"I don’t believe Yu would love you." Gu Qixiao knew of Ji Yu’s feelings for him, so he never doubted the bond they shared.
After all, how could Ji Yu fall for soone like Jiang Huai?
At this mont, Ji Yu stirred awake in a daze. Seeing the empty space beside her, she imdiately knew Gu Qixiao must have gone to find Jiang Huai.
She really didn’t want Gu Qixiao to know about this past. She harbored no romantic feelings for Jiang Huai, but indeed she had betrayed him. No matter what, Jiang Huai had truly done right by her back then.
She curled up in the corner, seeming as if she wanted to completely hide herself away.
When Feng Qinqin arrived, this was the scene she walked in on.
Feng Qinqin knew about what happened back then, and seeing Ji Yu like this filled her with worry. "Yu, why didn’t you think to tell all this? I’m your best friend. I already know you did the right thing in this situation. You absolutely shouldn’t doubt yourself because of it."
She had never doubted Ji Yu’s intentions.
Everything Ji Yu did was because she was soone who adhered to her principles.
"I don’t know why I care so much about this, but the fact that I’m here ans I want you to be happy."
She hugged Ji Yu, sitting together in the corner, reflecting on this matter.
She was very clear about what Ji Yu was thinking at this mont.
Ji Yu let out a helpless laugh. "I simply didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t intend to tell you about it. Why did you still co all the way here?"
She always felt powerless when she saw her friend in this state.
If she bore her sorrow alone, that would be one thing. But now, watching her friend feel uneasy because of her, Ji Yu couldn’t forgive herself.
"Yuyu, you must not think this matter is such a big deal. If worse cos to worst, we’ll face it together. It’s just soone who hasn’t shown up for years. There’s really no need to take it so seriously."
