The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Chapter 159: It Is Redundant Now!

“Gu Chenyi, do you know what ‘winter’s palm-leaf fan and summer’s cotton-padded jacket’ means?” The money that he refused to lend to her during her time of need was redundant now!

“I’ll work hard to live the life that I want! I need neither charity from you people nor for you guys to decide my life!” From now on, I’ll be the decision-maker of my life. No one has the right to decide what I should be doing!

“Whatever you say are just excuses to conceal your greedy nature!” Gu Chenyi persistently reckoned that the reason behind Mu Huan’s reluctance to leave his uncle was greed!

“If that’s what you think, so be it. Just don’t come talking to me about this matter anymore!” She could not care less about what he thought of her, and so, she turned around and made a move to leave.

That was when he suddenly grabbed hold of her. She turned back and was about to give him a punch, but her fist, which was raised high, faltered at the sight of his pained look.

“Xiao Huan, don’t you feel anything at all? Are you really able to become my aunt?” He could not do it at all! There was no way he could call her his aunt when he liked her so much! He was so fond of her!

The thought of her working as a bar hostess was already so unacceptable to him to the point that he could no longer face her, let alone having to see her being with his uncle now and be tortured by those R-rated scenes at night. He was truly about to go crazy here!

“The fact that you refused to believe my words no matter how much I tried proving myself already shows that your feelings for me are not quite so deep. Besides, you don’t believe a single bad thing about what I say about your girlfriend now, so why are you still doing this? Do you think that I should be miserable and lonely for the rest of my life after splitting up with you? Would you only be happy then?”

“No! It’s just... just as long as it’s not Uncle... You can’t let me see you this way...” Despite his claim, he was equally unaccepting of the thought of her being with another man!

“That’s none of my concern! From now on, don’t come talking to me! I have nothing to say to you!”

“How could you be so cruel, Mu Huan? How could you?” He did not understand why she could be all fine and indifferent when he had such great difficulties in letting go of his feelings for her.

“It’s not about me being cruel. I just don’t care anymore because you’re no longer anything to me!”

“How could you be like this? How could you?! Did you never like me at all?!” He could not resist asking if her indifference was because of her lack of feelings for him!

“Say, would you still like me if I stabbed you to death? Could you still like me?” When she had gone begging for help in her times of desperation, that stab he had given to her was akin to him killing her.

As he stared dumbfoundedly at her, a flashback of Mu Huan begging him suddenly hit him. Please, Gu Chenyi! Please believe me! What my grandma and the others are saying isn’t true! You’ve got to believe me! Please, I beg of you, save my granny! I beg of you!

Despite her howling so desperately at that time, he ultimately did not believe her words in the slightest bit.

Was I really wrong about her? Have I pushed her into Uncle’s arms by refusing to believe in her when she came begging me for help out of desperation?

The thought of this dreadful possibility had had him stumbling backward in shock.

“No... It can’t be... It’s impossible...” He shook his head in utter disbelief, unable to believe such a fact!

This was something he could not bear at all!
