Chapter 279

, just call directly. If there's nothing else, go."I wouldn't be swayed by such a small favor from you."Oh." Lin Momo replied, and could only turn around and walk out.When she walked to the place wher...Seeing Su Kexin's hesitant expression, Gu Chi guessed that she must have misunderstood him and was unwilling to speak to him, giving him the cold shoulder.

If this continues, Su Keixin will only become angrier with him.

"Su Ke Xin, just now I..." Gu Chi felt the need to explain to Su Ke Xin, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't tell her right now. It was still a secret, and telling her would ruin the surprise.

Gu Chi could only change the subject and say, "I was just handling some company matters earlier. It's nothing."

Suddenly, both of them fell silent.

The air was thick with resentment.

Su Keqin held the magazine, flipping through it over and over, but couldn't bring herself to read a single word.

Su Ke Xin was certain that Gu Chi must have called to help Lin Xiao Ru and the Lin family. He had once promised her he would protect her, wouldn't let her suffer any grievances, so what about now He didn't keep his word.

Gu Zhi thought, he should tell Su Keqin about the time Lin Xiaoru saved him when he was a child. The misunderstanding between the two of them was caused by their inability to communicate properly.

At the same time, he also wanted to apologize to Su Kexin. He did owe her an apology.

Gu Chi let out a light cough, breaking the silence in the room, then said, "Su Ke Xin, actually I've been busy these past few days, all with matters concerning the Lin family."

"I know, you don't have to explain it to me." Su Keqin suddenly didn't want to hear his explanation. As soon as she heard Lin Xiaoru and the Lin family, she felt sick.

She could just imagine Lin Xiaoru's smug expression. She had already seen that arrogant look on her face when they met at the door earlier.

Gu Chi saw Su Ke Xin's uncooperative attitude and became even more anxious, "Su Ke Xin, you don't understand." "Actually, Lin Xiao Ru is..."

Su Keqin suddenly put down the magazine and stood up, saying, "Excuse me, Gu Chi, I'm going to the restroom."

Gu Chi suddenly had no way to deal with her. He didn't expect Su Kexin to be so repulsed by the name "Lin Xiaoru" that she wouldn't even give him a chance to explain.

If she didn't know Lin Xiaoru was the mastermind two years ago, it would be fine. But now that she knows, she despises this person even more.

Su Kexin locked herself in the bathroom, her eyes turning red.

Her grievances, Gu Chi didn't understand.

"Su Ke Xin," Gu Chi said in a low voice, "Listen to me explain. There's a reason why I act this way towards Lin Xiaoru."

Why

What are the reasons But they are all just excuses.

Su KeXin let out a wry smile.

He has already let go of Lin Xiaoru and even retrieved the economic losses for the Lin family Group. That is a fact.

If he truly cared for her and wanted to protect her, how could he let that person off the hook without giving Lin Xiaoru and the Lin family some lesson What if they came to cause trouble again

Two years ago's pain is still fresh in my memory, should I let her experience it again

Thinking of this, Su Keqin felt a surge of resentment.

She wasn't a person with a heavy heart for revenge, but what Lin Xiaoru had done to her was truly unforgivable, almost ruining her entire life.

But now, Gu Chi, who had always said he wanted to seek justice for himself, is helping the culprit

Gu Chi letting go of Lin Xiaoru was already a surprise, why is he still caring about her and helping her now

Su Kexin became increasingly sad the more she thought about it.

"Su Kexin, open the door. Let's talk this through," Gu Chi's low voice sounded again from outside the door, laced with a hint of urgency.

Su Ke Xin bit her lip.

She knew that this outburst wouldn't solve anything. She hesitated, wondering whether to open the door, but just then—

Knock knock knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Someone outside the door shouted, "Young Master Gu Chi, it's me, the housekeeper. Please open the door."

Gu Zhi sank his face, opening the door with a displeased expression.

The butler first glanced inside, but didn't see Su Kexin. He then smiled and said, "Young Master Gu, many people have come outside, clamoring to celebrate the old master's birthday party. The old master asked me to call you and Madam down."

"Oh, alright, I understand. I'll go down right away." Gu Chi said.

Su Kexin heard the housekeeper's words, opened the bathroom door, and lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with Gu Chi.

"Su Keqin..." Gu Chi grabbed her arm, gripping too tightly, Su Keqin felt a twinge of pain.. This happy couple of rivals could quarrel at any time, anywhere, under any circumstances. She was truly impressed, being able to do this was really no easy feat."Alright! Can the two of you just shu...
