Chapter 9: A Heartbreaking Betrayal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since the day she first heard about this dangerous man, Lu Qingyu, Su Wan knew she had to keep her distance from him.

What Lu Qingyu had meant by ‘pursue’ was actually teasing her during high school.

Playboys like Lu Qingyu would flirt with any girl with an appearance pleasant to his eyes. The girl would be brainless to take it seriously.

Su Wan smiled awkwardly. “Master Lu, the number of girlfriends you have is enough to form a company, how could there possibly be room for me?”

Lu Qingyu did not bother about Su Wan’s feigned ignorance. He stared at Su Wan with his amorous eyes which were always full of affection.

“So, say I lack a girlfriend now, Su Wan, will you agree to be my girlfriend?”

Su Wan was sick of libertines like Lu Qingyu but now that she couldn’t return home and needed his help, she couldn’t ruin their relationship regardless of the situation.

“Master Lu, don’t tease me. Anyone but you can lack girlfriends. Furthermore, you know very well that Gu Zihang is my fiancé.”

Lu Qingyu smirked and with his low, deep, bewitching voice, said, “Really? Gu Zihang is your fiancé? Can he be trusted? You have not seen each other for three years. This marriage is still uncertain.”

Lu Qingyu seemed to be indicating something but Su Wan regarded it as Lu Qingyu was trying to promote himself and make fun of her.

Su Wan was angry within but she wore a smile on her face. At least for the time being, she couldn’t afford to offend this playboy young master. Without him, she could not enter her house.

Su Wan didn’t want to continue discussing love affairs with Lu Qingyu, so she waved her hand and changed the topic.

“Master Lu, I’ve just returned. The security guard doesn’t recognize me. Could you please bring me in?”

Lu Qingyu raised his eyebrows and opened the door in a gentlemanly manner. “It’s my honor to bring a pretty lady along. Hop on.”

Su Wan took a glance at the sapphire blue Infinity sports car and showed a slight smile,. “I think I’d better sit behind. I’m afraid I’ll be car sick if I sit at the co-driver’s seat.”

She did not have enough courage to sit beside Lu Qingyu. He was known to have had sex with girls in the car in high school.

Anyway, Lu Qingyu was complicated and she’d better keep her distance.

Sensing her cautiousness, Lu Qingyu didn’t mind. He liberally agreed, “As you wish.”

The security guard was terrified as he listened to their conversation. It was obvious that both of them had known one another earlier. Those who lived in Cloud Shadow Villa were either rich or eminent personages. How could he afford to offend these young masters and young missies?

When Su Wan did not blame him, the security guard quickly let the car through.

While driving, Lu Qingyu kept trying to bring Su Wan into conversations. “Looks like it’s going to rain.”

Su Wan replied absent-mindedly, “Yup.” While she was replying, she was looking out of the car window. The sky was turning dark and the plants on the hill seemed thicker and greener. The luxurious private mansions were situated on the scenic hill.

No matter how luring he was, Su Wan only replied briefly. So, Lu Qingyu decided not to talk but to focus on his steering wheel.

After a while, Su Wan saw the Su residence. The vintage wrought iron gate was opened. The words ‘Jing Yuan’ atop the mansion were sparkling like gems, drawing attention.

Lu Qingyu stopped his car and chivalrously opened the car door for Su Wan. Su Wan raised her head to look at him and said, “Thank you for taking me home. You may just leave me here and take your leave since you’re busy.”

However, out of Su Wan’s expectation, Lu Qingyu did not plan to leave. Instead, he smiled and said, “Su Wan, how can you chase me away after using me? We are at your door step, don’t you want to invite me into your house?”

What a shameless man!

Su Wan frown slightly but she unfolded her creases very quickly. “How can it be so? Since Master Lu has requested, let’s go in together.”

Lu Qingyu could sense Su Wan’s reluctance but his smile was unaffected. He walked behind Su Wan.

The moment she walked into the courtyard, she saw a silver Pagani and a cherry red Cayenne. The sight was eye-catching.

Had her grandfather changed his car? It was quite impossible. Grandfather liked low profile cars like the Phaeton. Even if he were to go for another brand, he wouldn’t pick warm luxury colors like silver and cherry red.

Maybe there were guests...

Su Wan lowered her eyes as if deep in thought. She walked past the entrance and before she reached the living hall, she could hear laughter from inside.

“We’re about to become one family, you don’t have to be so courteous.”

“Grandfather, you may cut the formalities, let’s eat. Zihang, you like to eat steamed cod fish with plum, don’t you? Try and see if this is authentic. How does it taste? Is it delicious?”

What did it mean they were about to become one family? Su Wan was extremely puzzled.

She heard a woman’s voice mentioning Zihang. Su Wan’s eyes brightened. Had Gu Zihang come to Jing Yuan today? No wonder there were a few more cars outside.

Su Wan’s heart soared when she thought of the possibility. She quickened her pace but just as she was about to call his name, the sight that welcomed her caused her words to be stuck in her throat.

She hadn’t seen Gu Zihang in three years and now his features had matured. Compared to the time when he was in high school, he looked more handsome now.

Su Wan couldn’t ignore the sight of a woman nestled in Gu Zihang’s embrace and gently hammering his shoulders with her delicate hands.

Although she couldn’t see the woman’s face, Su Wan could see the affection in Gu Zihang’s eyes laced with a sense of protection. For a moment, Su Wan felt the sky falling and the earth cracking. She couldn’t accept this eye-catching scene.

Su Wan’s shoulders were trembling slightly and her eyes were almost filled with tears. Was this man her fiancé, Gu Zihang?

Su Wan’s legs weakened and she lost her balance. Luckily, Lu Qingyu caught her and took the opportunity to whisper sarcastically, “Are you satisfied with your fiancé?”

Su Wan ignored Lu Qingyu. She brushed his hand off her shoulder and walked to the front with difficulty.

At the same time, the other people who were conversing merrily noticed Su Wan and Lu Qingyu who was standing behind her. They stopped and gaped at them.

The time seemed to have frozen for two seconds. Su Wan saw Gu Zihang, who was immersed in his own world with the woman, finally turn his head.

His gaze met Su Wan’s gaze and Gu Zihang’s expression changed. He was obviously stunned but even so, he did not push the woman in his embrace away.

Su Wan bit her lips. How would Gu Zihang explain this scene to her?

If the reasons were reasonable, she would choose to believe him.

However, before Gu Zihang could speak, the woman in Gu Zihang’s embrace turned her head toward Su Wan when she sensed that something was not right.

How could it be her?

That moment the woman turned her head, Su Wan’s eyes widened at the pretty face and she froze. What could be harder to swallow than the joint betrayal of her fiancé and her cousin sister?
