Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 501: Never Able to See Through Him (6)

He still left, without saying any unnecessary words.

Xia Yinian watched his departing figure, that silhouette always so solitary and lonely, yet so cold and unyielding.

Because of this coldness and hardness, it made people lose even the courage to chase after him.

Just now, the Old Master said to move up her engagement banquet with Gu Lingqian. Uncle didn’t say a word, there were no objections either.

Tonight, all the maids had been brought back; by admitting this herself, it was more or less an acknowledgment that she indeed set them up that day.

Aside from being unwilling to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, this matter could be considered halfway to the truth.

What’s most important is that Gu Beicheng believes they were framed.

But why, why even after the truth is out, does he still have nothing to say?

Now, everyone who needed to leave has left, and the entire back courtyard is left with just the few of them.

Just as Gu Beicheng’s silhouette was about to vanish from her sight, Xia Yinian couldn’t hold back anymore and hurried after him.

"Do you really have nothing to say to me? Really not a single word?"

Up ahead, Gu Beicheng stopped in his tracks. Chi He greeted him before taking his leave.

Gu Lingqian did not follow either; in this place, only Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian remained.

Gu Beicheng turned around, looking at Xia Yinian, who caught up but dared not come closer, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I’m sorry."

Xia Yinian placed her hand over her lips, covered them tightly, and despite trying to hold back, she choked with a sob.

His apology, maybe it’s no longer of any use now, but still, it pricked at her, and tears started sliding down instantly.

But besides ’I’m sorry,’ is there really nothing else he has to say?

"You just got back today; you must be tired. Go back and rest early."

He looked at her once more, then his gaze fell on Gu Lingqian in the distance: "Take her back to rest."

"Shouldn’t Uncle be the one to take her back to rest?" Although Gu Lingqian was quite distant, he could still hear their conversation clearly.

"In the middle of the night, to take my nephew’s girlfriend back to my place to rest, wouldn’t that give rise to speculation?"

My nephew’s girlfriend! That phrase revealed so much.

Xia Yinian turned and walked away, and even without seeing her face clearly, one could tell that her face was covered in tears at this moment.

My nephew’s girlfriend, now that’s all she is to Gu Beicheng, nothing more than his nephew’s girlfriend!

Ha, if it could be so clearly defined, why did he initially force himself on her? And why more than once?

Indeed, his view of her had never changed; she was nothing but a plaything, to be discarded once he was done playing!

Now, isn’t it just that he’s done playing, and ready to throw her away?

Ha, so what’s the point in her rushing to prove her innocence? Does her innocence hold any value in the eyes of Gu Beicheng?

"Nian Nian!" Gu Lingqian chased after her, and behind the flower bushes, he stopped her.

"Nian Nian, it’s just because Grandma’s health isn’t good and Uncle is feeling down; that’s why he spoke that way. Give him some time."

"I’m fine." Xia Yinian turned around, not looking at him.

She’s fine, really, there’s nothing wrong at all.

It’s just that her heart feels a bit sour, a bit painful, but other than that, really, there’s nothing wrong.

What Grandma Gu and Gu Beicheng discussed, why Gu Beicheng’s attitude suddenly changed like this, she no longer cared to ponder.

She is at a point where she doesn’t care about anything anymore.

"Do you really want to go through with the engagement? But I don’t like you, Ling Qian, I only see you as a brother."
