Chapter 461: The Truth from Years Ago

shed telling her the beginning of the story, Su Keqin regretted why she hadn't told Cheng Luo the truth directly. 。If I could have talked to Cheng Luo sooner, maybe none of this would have happened. 。...He Yue, who had always been paying attention to Cheng Kexin's movements, saw her action and took a step forward with some concern, afraid that something was wrong with her body.

But as soon as he took a step, He Yue stopped. He seemed to think of something in his heart, gave a wry smile, and then retreated back to his original spot.

Gu Chi and Cheng Keixin were both listening intently to Cheng Ruor's answer. This back-and-forth movement, in the end, except for He Yue, no one else noticed.

Hearing Gu Chi's question, Cheng Ruoruo curled the corner of her mouth into a wry smile and then replied:

"Yeah, later I realized too that if we wanted to get Cheng Group out of this mess, the only option at the time was to ask for help from Gu Group. But what use would it be for me to go to you At the time, you were about my age and didn't have any real power. You didn't even own any shares in Gu Group, so what could you possibly do to help"

Hearing what Cheng Ruoruo said, Gu Chi's eyes couldn't help but darken. Although he hated Cheng Ruoruo's vicious mind now, he couldn't deny that when he was young, he really, really liked this girlfriend of his. Her importance in his eyes was second only to Old Master Gu.

If she had come to him first, he would have definitely tried his best to persuade his grandfather to help Cheng's Group get through the crisis. And his grandfather loved him so much, so in the end, he would probably agree.

But原來 in her heart, the woman at that time was nothing more than a useless young master, not even worth asking for help.

"So you went to Gu Xiao for help" Cheng Ke Xin picked up the conversation, is this why they had partnered to kidnap Gu Chi back then

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Her eyes dodged, unable to meet his gaze. Cheng Ruor's voice trembled slightly, "Yes, I went to find Gu Xiao, but I had no choice. At that time, only he could help me, and only he would agree to help me. As long as the Gu Group and the Cheng Group cooperated, the Cheng Group would have a chance to rise from the ashes."

"Speaking of which, Cheng Ruor'er's eyes were full of sarcasm, "But I also know that Gu Xiao wouldn't help me for no reason. No one would help me for no reason. Everyone only cares about their own interests. No one would do anything that doesn't benefit themselves."

“So what did you agree to” Gu Chi clenched his fists, his forehead bulging with veins as he almost gritted his teeth to ask. He could vaguely guess how things would turn out later, but he refused to believe it, how could they!

Cheng Ruor's eyes welled up with tears as she glanced at Gu Chi. Seeing his expression, she dared not look at him again and whispered, "So... so I made a deal with Gu Xiao. I told him that as long as he could help the Cheng family out of its predicament, I would help him get rid of his thorn in the side, which is you, his own younger brother."

Having said that, Cheng Ruoruo raised her head and hurriedly explained, "Gu Chi, the reason I said those things back then was to coax him. I never actually wanted to frame you with him. Believe me! I just wanted to appease him first, get him to help the Cheng family through this danger before we talked about anything else."

Although Cheng Keqin had told him about it before, that kidnapping case was planned by Cheng Ruor and Gu Xiao together. Gu Chi had mentally prepared himself, but hearing Cheng Ruor say it herself at this moment still couldn't hide the shock and indignation in his heart.

He and Cheng Ruor were still lovers in the heat of passion at that time, but for the sake of the Cheng family, to protect her status as the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, she was ruthless enough to kill him.

At that time, I really liked Cheng Ruor, treating her as my closest person, wishing to give her my heart. Naturally, there was nothing I didn't tell her.

Gu Xiao had always felt out of place his whole life. He wasn't stupid, so he naturally noticed it. Seeing scenes of brotherly affection and harmony made him feel heartbroken at times, and he even confided in Cheng Ruoer about it. But back then, he never imagined that one day Cheng Ruoer would use his trust in her as leverage against him.

It turns out that all these years of his self-proclaimed deep devotion, in her heart, amounted to nothing. She could so easily betray their years of love. What's even more laughable is that for all these years, he didn't notice a thing.

"Cheng Ruoer, you were just saying how much you liked Gu Chi. If you really liked him as much as you said, how could you be so cruel to him!"

Hearing the reason for Cheng Ruoruo and Gu Xiao's transaction, Cheng Kexin couldn't help but reprimand Cheng Ruoruo loudly. In her heart, wealth and nobility come from heaven, life and death are predetermined, wealth can be fought for but cannot be forced, how can one harm someone else's life for their own selfish gain

Cheng Ruoruo burst into tears and laughter, “Cheng Keixin, what do you understand Have you ever experienced the feeling of everything around you drifting away from you! If I didn’t do this, I would lose my status as the eldest Miss Cheng. Then how could I be with Gu Chi I did this all because I love him!”

"Because you love him, so you want to kill him" Cheng Ke Xin laughed angrily, "Cheng Ruo Er, don't you think this is too absurd"

"Of course you wouldn't understand, someone of your lowly background!" Cheng Ruo'er exclaimed passionately. "Gu Chi is the heir to the Gu Group. If the Cheng Group goes bankrupt, what would the Cheng family even be What would I be Would the Gu family ever agree to us being together The only way we can be together forever is if I keep my status as the eldest daughter of the Cheng family!"

Staring incredulously at Cheng Ruor, Cheng Kexin didn't know what to say anymore. How could someone's logic be so bizarre

At the end of the day, compared to Gu Chi, she cared more about herself, but deep down she refused to admit it. She just had to put a label of love on what she was doing.

"Continue speaking," Gu Chi said expressionlessly to Cheng Ruoruo, his true feelings hidden behind a stoic facade.

"Gu Zhi, I truly love you. However, I couldn't just stand by and watch the Cheng family fall apart, so I agreed to cooperate with Gu Xiao. But I swear to heaven, I never intended to actually take your life. Everything I said to Gu Xiao was a lie, I just…"

Without revealing his feelings, Gu Chi remained unmoved. Cheng Ru'er anxiously tried to justify her past actions, but before she could explain further, Gu Chi interrupted her.

"Keep talking!" Gu Chi's voice finally grew impatient, his tone sharply rising, laced with a horrifying rage. He didn't want to actually harm him That sounded good. It was just that he managed to escape. What if he hadn't escaped Who would she be saying this to then!

He now wants to hear, step by step, how his brother and his girlfriend planned to murder him!nd it! Today, I have to make Cheng Ke Xin apologize to Gu Chi. Only then can I use this as an excuse to get his forgiveness and move back into the Gu family villa. 。As the mistress of the house, she a...
