The scene in the photos of Gu Jiabao was exactly the same as the day Gu Xiaoqi met him.

Ji Ruyu's face was slapped clearly, and very quickly, someone recognized her.

By now, more and more people were involved in this "polygonal" relationship.

Although Gu Xiaoqi erased the dirt on her body, it was not so easy for Ji Ruyu to get out of it, because what Gu Jiabao said was the truth.

"Ruyu, are you alright?" Gu Xiaoqi thought about it, then asked.

This was the first time Gu Xiaoqi mentioned it ever since she found out that Ji Ruyu and Jian Yan were together again.

Ji Ruyu was calmer than anyone had imagined. She drank her coffee and painted a variety of popular shows as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened to her.

But Gu Xiaoqi could tell that she wasn't acting well.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, then Ji Ruyu impatiently closed her phone, and sternly said: "Xiao Qi, I'm not resigned, I want to gamble again."

Ji Ruyu's shoulders loosened, and she resigned herself to her fate as she admitted: "Xiao Qi, no matter if you despise me or look down on me, I have already made up with Jian Yan. He was drunk the other day and he called me while crying. But I knew in my heart that Jian Yan wouldn't suddenly fall in love with me overnight. But I still bet. I want to believe him one last time, just once. "

What Ji Ruyu had said, was more about convincing herself than convincing Gu Xiaoqi.

Looking at Ji Ruyu who seemed to be waiting for a judgement, Gu Xiaoqi's heart ached.

In the past, she was the same as Ji Ruyu, unable to let go and unable to escape. She hoped again and again that Jian Yan would save her.

No one could persuade someone to do something like this.

Gu Xiaoqi took a deep breath, then lightly patted Ji Ruyu's shoulders and silently accompanied him.

After a short while, Jian Yan called.

"Ruyu, it's me." Jian Yan's voice came out from the phone.

Ji Ruyu gave a light grunt.

Jian Yan did not say anything for a long time, as if he did not know what to say.

This silence made everyone panic. Ji Ruyu was like a prisoner awaiting trial, afraid and helpless.

"If you have something to say, say it." Ji Ruyu could not bear the torture and opened her mouth first.

Being urged on, Jian Yan no longer hesitated, and said resolutely: "Ruyu, we are still friends."

Jian Yan still had a bit of conscience and did not say anything unacceptable, but his words were still painful.

A friend.

This meant that they had returned to their original point, and that the sweetness and ambiguity in their words no longer counted.

Gu Xiaoqi looked at Ji Ruyu worriedly, only to see her smiling in a way that was uglier than crying, and said calmly with great effort: "I understand."

Jian Yan hesitated for a moment, he did not expect Ji Ruyu to be so easy to talk to, which allowed him to say what he was going to say even more smoothly, "Online, explain, it is not convenient for me to say anything at this time."

Ji Ruyu still answered, "Okay."

There was another breathless silence, but neither of them hung up.

"Like Jade …"

"Hmm?" Ji Ruyu swiftly agreed, and her tone carried an anticipation that was easy to notice.

But Jian Yan did not say anything else. Ji Ruyu laughed bitterly, and her finger trembled as she pressed the button.

This was her first time, so she took the initiative to hang up on Jian Yan. This should be her last time.

She stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. Spreading her hands, she carefully felt the warmth of the sunlight.

"Xiao Qi." Ji Ruyu didn't turn back as she asked in a faintly discernible voice, "Abandoning me was Jian Yan's loss. I will definitely meet someone who cherishes and loves me, right?"

Gu Xiaoqi nodded without hesitation, "Of course."

"That's good."

Looking at Ji Ruyu's beautiful profile, Gu Xiaoqi's heart was filled with emotions. So giving up someone was actually this silent.

Hysteria, heartbreak, and painful tears were all due to being unable to let go.

That afternoon, Ji Ruyu threw away those gentle and refined lady's clothes and changed back into the mature and sexy style that she liked.

After that, he cut off a head of long hair that had been growing for more than ten years.

At first, it was just a sentence that Jian Yan liked it. She took care of all these worries everyday, but now he cut them off and relaxed his entire body.

Carrying a new style, Ji Ruyu released a self-portrait — "New life, new beginning."

There was still a large group of people below who were asking about his and Jian Yan's relationship. Gu Xiaoqi picked a name that looked familiar and replied: "I've chased behind Jian Yan for over ten years and cried for him, laughed, and committed suicide. "However, from today onwards, I will no longer willingly become a man's spare tire. I will become my own queen."

Furthermore, she openly responded to Gu Jiabao's Weibo — "Gu Jiabao, you know very well who's the mistress of this relationship."

The attitude of the people involved had made the matter even more complicated. Everyone wanted to know the truth.

After Ji Ruyu spoke, Jian Yan called countless times but she did not answer. In the end, she just blacklisted the number of the other party, including WeChat and Weibo.

The two women had their reasons. On one side was Little White Lotus who had been betrayed by her boyfriend, and on the other was the love-struck Bei Tai girl. It seemed that everyone had their own reasons.

The only thing that could not be denied was that Jian Yan was a Scumbag.

Gu Xiaoqi was astonished. It was obviously Gu Jiabao's fault, but the one who went in was Jian Yan.

Everyone was waiting for Jian Yan to appear, but he never did.

Gu Xiaoqi originally thought that Jian Yan had moved behind the scenes, but when this person appeared in front of her, she felt that she had really underestimated the degree of shamelessness that Jian Yan possessed.

"You want me to help you resolve this crisis?" Gu Xiaoqi scoffed in disbelief.

Jian Yan made up his mind, and answered confidently: "You have to help me, I know you can do it."

"On what basis?" Forget about all the terrible things that he had done previously, just by the fact that she was friends with Ji Ruyu meant that she definitely wouldn't stand up for Jian Yan.

"On what basis?" Jian Yan took out an envelope from his pocket, "Based on this."

Gu Xiao Qi took it doubtfully. After opening it, there was a pile of photos of her, some of her alone, some with simple words, and even some of her swimsuits that they had taken while traveling.

From the moment he knew that Gu Xiaoqi and Mu Liancheng were together, Jian Yan had these things in his hands. He had always wanted to use this thing as a trump card to pursue benefits.

But he didn't expect that he would have to take it out because of these "small matters".

This also proved that Jian Yan was indeed at a point where he had no solution.

"If Mu Liancheng saw all this, what would he do?"

Gu Xiaoqi's heart tensed up, but she forced herself to calm down and said: "Ninth Master has long known about the past, these pictures of yours are useless."

"Is that so?" The more Gu Xiaoqi said this, the more confident she became. "Then what about the love letter you wrote me? I know Mu Liancheng got someone to mess with my mailbox, but I've already backed it up a long time ago. Are you sure he doesn't care about a man like that? "

After Jian Yan finished speaking, Gu Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something. A while ago, Mu Liancheng suddenly asked her to write a love letter, and many things happened in the process.

"Gu Xiaoqi, you were infatuated with me in the past, so you weren't on guard. I have more than that. Are you sure you won't help me? "

Gu Xiaoqi hesitated. Although she was only in her early twenties, the soul inside her was not.

She could no longer remember some of the details of her past life.

Just as Gu Xiaoqi was making up her mind, someone appeared beside her, "Take your things and scram!"

The man's tall and big body tightly wrapped Gu Xiaoqi up, he looked at Jian Yan with might without getting angry, and was extremely terrifying.

Jian Yan subconsciously took two steps back. He never thought that Mu Liancheng would arrive so quickly.

Being captured like that, Jian Yan's face became extremely ugly, but he could not retreat.

After struggling to calm down, Jian Yan said those words again, "Ninth Master, have you considered it carefully?"

"Hur hur." Mu Liancheng's eyes were hooked as he glanced at Jian Yan in disdain, "Try it, do you have any websites that dare to pick up your things?"

As the owner of the Mu Family, Mu Liancheng had this confidence.

"I don't need to find the media. I can do it myself." Jian Yan was unwilling to give in like this.

In this world, the person who could threaten Mu Liancheng probably hadn't even been born yet.

Because, other than Gu Xiaoqi, he was not afraid of losing anything, not Jian Yan.

"Then you must prepare for the bankruptcy of the Jane family." Mu Liancheng warned indifferently.

Jian Yan knew that Mu Liancheng had the ability. It was because this man was hard to deal with that he brought the thing to Gu Xiaoqi, hoping that it would work.

When the plan fell through, Jian Yan left with his tail between his legs, leaving Gu Xiaoqi and Mu Liancheng staring at each other.

"Ninth Master, you …"

"Xiao Qi." Mu Liancheng knew what Gu Xiaoqi wanted to say.

A light kiss removed all of Gu Xiaoqi's uneasiness. "Xiao Qi, it was me who didn't protect you well."

There were no questions, no anger, only endless heartache and guilt.

Although Mu Liancheng was jealous, but he did not blame Gu Xiaoqi. He only blamed himself for hesitating, peeking at his surroundings while letting Xiao Qi suffer so much and suffer so much.

"Ninth Master …" Gu Xiaoqi threw himself into the man's embrace, crying out loud, unwilling to let go.

Mu Liancheng always had a way to make her feel even more touched.

This man's possessiveness was extremely strong. He was domineering and stubborn, but he had never felt sorry for her because of the things that happened in the past.

From beginning to end, he had been in love with her completely.

"Silly girl." Mu Liancheng staggered from the impact of the huge treasure in his embrace, but he still subconsciously hugged onto his entire body.

He didn't know why Gu Xiaoqi's eyes were reddened, but he knew that his girl was sad.

This debt had been viciously settled by Mu Liancheng. The things that he had planned for a long time could be done now.

His way of doing things had always been ruthless. If he didn't move, then so be it. If he moved, then the other party would definitely have no chance to turn the situation around.

Jane family, Gu family, and Xia Family. I, Mu Liancheng, am here to collect my debts.
