The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 236: She Said: I’ll Take You Home 2
"Is everything she said true?" Such a truth would be hard for anyone to accept, let alone Fang Yumin, who lived every day with hatred and illusions, eagerly anticipating the day of his reunion with Wen Fei...
But now they’ve reunited under such circumstances.
So disgraceful and miserable.
Gu Yuan sealed Wen Fei’s mouth, not to stop her from explaining—if Wen Fei wanted to explain to Fang Yumin, she had plenty of opportunities to do so.
She was certain Wen Fei wouldn’t explain.
Because Wen Fei didn’t love Fang Yumin.
"I’ve said all that needs to be said." Gu Yuan took the document, signed her name swiftly, then pushed the document forward: "Alright, it’s time for me to leave."
Why did she say these things?
Because Gu Yuan had no absolute confidence she could take Chi Yu away.
If Fang Yumin went mad and teamed up with Wen Bo, let alone taking Chi Yu away, she wouldn’t even escape alive.
Only by diverting Fang Yumin’s attention first would she have a better chance of taking Chi Yu away.
"Dao An, has the boat arrived?" Gu Yuan asked.
Dao An said, "It’s here."
"You and him take Chi Yu and go ahead." Gu Yuan said.
"President Gu, what about you..." Dao An was worried about Gu Yuan’s safety.
Gu Yuan was very calm, "I’ll be fine."
She only brought Dao An and one bodyguard because she wasn’t confident and certain—this was a fierce battle for Gu Yuan. Especially since it was at sea, life and death were left to fate, and she didn’t want to involve any other lives.
Dao An and another bodyguard supported Chi Yu, ready to disembark from the cruise, when the boat waiting to pick them up had already arrived.
The sea in this area was relatively deep, and other yachts had already begun to set sail.
Gu Yuan grabbed Wen Fei, lowered her voice and said, "Explain everything to Fang Yumin slowly. Forgive me for being unfilial, but since it started with someone, it must end with someone. Isn’t that right, Mother?"
With that, she pushed Wen Fei towards Fang Yumin.
Then quickly turned and disembarked from the cruise.
Fang Yumin steadied Wen Fei, and seeing that group of menacing people about to give chase, he immediately ordered, "No one move! No chasing, let them go."
The mob indeed didn’t move, only watched as Gu Yuan and the others left. But how could these people obey Fang Yumin? They took orders from Wen Bo.
They were just waiting for Wen Bo’s command.
But at this moment, Wen Bo was the calmest. He was about to raise his hand when a calm voice from Fang Yumin beside him said, "Let it end here."
Wen Bo sneered, "How can a few words sway your mind? How can you be sure she wasn’t lying to you?!"
"Lying to me... The one truly deceiving me is you." Fang Yumin looked at Wen Bo, "My hatred for Gu Yuan began to fade the moment I made this deal with you. Mutual destruction was just a facade to soothe myself, so let it end here."
Fury burst forth on Wen Bo’s face.
Yet he said nothing.
Fang Yumin carefully peeled the tape from Wen Fei’s mouth, taking great care not to hurt her.
Wen Fei gave him a cold look, mocking, "Looks like you have some self-awareness."
Fang Yumin heard the words he least wanted to hear, but also expected. He had agreed so quickly to cooperate with Wen Bo, wanting so much money, all for Wen Fei. He knew she didn’t love him that much; otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed away for the past two years.
He hoped she would come.
Yet feared she really would.
This internal struggle continued until the moment he was released.
After being released, the first thing he wanted to do was find her. But when he did, he hesitated, worried that she’d dislike him even more in his current state.
The second thing he wanted to do was to take revenge against her daughter, Gu Yuan, no matter the cost.
His remaining sanity told him not to do so, even though Gu Yuan had made him an addict, sent him to prison, and torn him and her apart. Still, Gu Yuan was her daughter, and he couldn’t harm her daughter.
Ultimately, his last thought was to win her heart back with money.
So he cooperated with Wen Bo.
All he wanted, from beginning to end, was money. If he wanted this deal, he had to let Gu Yuan and her lover go.
Yet now he found out it was all a game Wen Fei had set up...
The sea wind was growing stronger, blowing through Fang Yumin’s hair. In a hoarse voice, he asked her, "...Wen Fei, have you never loved me, not even for a moment?"
Wen Fei laughed lightly, "Love you? You think you’re worthy!"
And beside them, Wen Bo, seizing the moment, carried out what he had long planned in his heart.
Fang Yumin didn’t actually want to harm Gu Yuan, but he had absolute motive and reason to do so.
This cruise was the perfect endpoint.
Wen Bo had already planned it—he would risk everything, claiming he came to save his sister, kidnapped as a hostage by her own daughter, in a scenario he could spin in his favor. During this fierce battle, Gu Yuan would be ambushed by Fang Yumin and perish at sea. Who could craft a better tale than this?
Once Gu Yuan was dead, his frail sister, weakened by the kidnapping ordeal, would need long recovery and would be unable to manage the Gu Family...
...which meant the entire Gu Family would belong entirely to Wen Bo!
Mad with his plans, Wen Bo no longer cared for familial bonds.
In his eyes, there was only profit, only money. Nothing else mattered because he had already convinced himself: this was merely an unpreventable accident.
He walked to the edge of the deck, looking down at the cruise below.
The boat to pick up Gu Yuan had already come close...
Gu Yuan held Chi Yu’s hand tightly, her other hand cradling his head, pressing her forehead against his brow, softly calling, "Chi Yu."
"Can you hear me?"
"I’m here, I’m here."
"Nothing must happen to you; you’ll soon be saved. I still have things to tell you; you need to wake up and listen."
"Chi Yu..."
The man, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
He summoned all his strength to respond to her, "Yuan, Yuan..."
Gu Yuan held him tightly, her voice trembling with restraint, "I’m taking you home."
