Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Demonstrating Determination Through Death

On the way back, An Junxi was feeling very down. She held Gu Yikun’s hand and said, "Yikun, maybe in the future, I’ll have to face more women like Zhang Miaoyan. I’m feeling exhausted."

Gu Yikun suddenly felt a panic in his heart. He put down the driving panel, pulling An Junxi into his arms. "Xi Xi, I will take care of myself, don’t overthink it. I’ll only have you by my side, you have to trust me."

An Junxi placed her hand on his waist and said, "Yikun, Zhang Miaoyan is beautiful and performs well at work. She can even help you in the company. I feel so useless. I wonder how many years your novelty for me can last?"

Gu Yikun lowered his head and kissed her. His kiss was strong and domineering, not giving An Junxi any chance to evade. He ravaged her red lips fiercely, and only let go of her after a long time, gritting his teeth as he said, "Xi Xi, do you think I’m a man who only seeks short-lived freshness? Don’t say such things again, it makes me really angry."

He indeed felt so angry that he wanted to hit her, but couldn’t bring himself to do it, and the frustration in his heart was truly unbearable. He raised his hand and slapped her butt heavily. "An Junxi, you’re really going to make me die of anger!"

An Junxi knew she had gone too far with her words. She didn’t dare argue, only to act pitifully and hold him tight: "You actually hit me... it hurts so much."

Gu Yikun felt heartache the moment he hit her, and seeing her cry pitifully in his arms, all his anger disappeared. He held her delicate body and softly consoled her, "It was my fault, do you want to hit me back?" He grabbed her hand and aimed it at himself.

An Junxi wouldn’t hit him, "If I hit you, then I’d be the one who hurts."

Gu Yikun laughed lowly, "My wife still cares about me."

An Junxi didn’t speak to him.

Gu Yikun’s large hand stroked her buttocks, and An Junxi refused to let him touch her. Gu Yikun said innocently, "I’m worried you’re in pain, let me rub it for you."

An Junxi said irritably, "No need, I’m fine."

When the car returned to the Gu Family Mansion, all of An Junxi’s negative emotions had been soothed. They held hands and walked into the hall, where Liang Huiyun was waiting for them.

An Junxi pulled her hand away from Gu Yikun. They walked up and An Junxi called to her, "Mother, you haven’t rested yet?"

Liang Huiyun asked, "Why hasn’t Qian Nuan come back yet?"

The two of them exchanged a glance. Gu Yikun said, "She’s waiting to cut the cake. Yin Feibai is going to bring her back."

Liang Huiyun said, "Why is she hanging around Yin Feibai again? If word gets out, people will think our Gu Family lacks proper upbringing, only raising spoiled children with no manners."

An Junxi thought to herself, Gu Qianlan is indeed a spoiled child.

Of course, she didn’t dare to say it aloud. She only said, "Zhi Wen wanted Qian Nuan to stay and cut the cake. Qian Nuan couldn’t refuse, so she stayed a bit longer."

Liang Huiyun said, "Then you two go rest."

An Junxi and Gu Yikun went upstairs. They had just finished showering when they heard a commotion downstairs. An Junxi changed clothes and went to see what was happening, with Gu Yikun putting on a T-shirt and following her.

Before she even reached the stairs, An Junxi heard someone shouting in the hall, "Zhang Miaoyan, how dare you come here! With Mr. Gu’s backing, you don’t even respect me?"

An Junxi looked back at Gu Yikun in disbelief, "How did she find this place!"

They hurried downstairs to find both their parents and aunt in the hall. Zhang Miaoyan sat on the sofa, her makeup smeared by tears, begging Liang Huiyun, "Madam, I just want to ask the eldest young master not to expel me from the Gu Family. I don’t want to return to the United States. Uncle Gu, I didn’t do anything wrong. I will avoid the eldest young master in the future, I won’t approach him again. Please help me!"

Liang Huiyun picked up a teacup and threw it at Zhang Miaoyan. She didn’t dodge, and the cup hit her forehead, causing blood to flow down quickly.

Zhang Miaoyan’s eyes were swollen from crying, her face pale as she bit her lip, not calling out in pain, "Madam, if hitting me can make you feel better, then please hit me all you want."

Gu Kuangyong couldn’t bear it any longer and went to call the family doctor, but Liang Huiyun stopped him, "She’s asking for trouble, why should you care if she lives or dies?"

She saw Gu Yikun and An Junxi standing nearby and asked them to come over, "Jun Xi, what exactly happened tonight?"

Zhang Miaoyan had shown up out of nowhere, not saying anything and crying as she asked Mr. Gu for help, begging the eldest young master not to fire her. Liang Huiyun instantly knew it was something bad.

She had ordered Zhang Miaoyan never to appear at the Gu Family again. Now this vixen dared to come at night and make a scene, how could she not be furious?

An Junxi and Gu Yikun sat down and roughly recounted what happened. Liang Huiyun got so angry she picked up another teacup, but Gu Kuangyong snatched it from her.

Gu Kuangyong knew An Junxi wouldn’t lie. He looked at Zhang Miaoyan and asked, "Miaoyan, do you have anything to say?"

Liang Huiyun felt dizzy. She held her forehead while leaning on the sofa, "What sin has our Gu Family committed to encounter such a vixen!"

Gu Kuangyuan usually didn’t meddle, but this time even she had to look at Zhang Miaoyan differently. She used to think her sister-in-law was biased against Zhang Miaoyan, but tonight she dared to seduce Yikun, and failing to do so, boldly came to the Gu Family to plead, showing an unfathomable thick skin.

If she had succeeded tonight and disrupted Yi Ke and Jun Xi’s marriage, the Gu Family would never know peace again.

She watched coldly from the side, listening to Zhang Miaoyan’s explanation.

Zhang Miaoyan choked back tears, "Uncle Gu, eldest young master, I truly didn’t do anything tonight. I drank some wine, and the servant told me the eldest young master was in the upstairs guest room waiting to talk to me, so I went up there..."

An Junxi said, "Your words are full of holes, did you really think you could fool us all? You never imagined that the person upstairs would be Yu Chen, did you? As soon as Yu Chen entered, you hugged him and called him Mr. Gu. Yi Ke and I heard it clearly."

Liang Huiyun said to Gu Kuangyong, "You see, this is the ungrateful wretch you sponsored! If we don’t get rid of her now, who knows what she might do at the Gu Family in the future?" This woman absolutely cannot stay!

Gu Kuangyong still couldn’t believe Zhang Miaoyan would do such a thing. He asked, "Miaoyan, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Miaoyan, out of options, suddenly kneeled before An Junxi, "Jun Xi, I was truly wronged. I promise to never approach the eldest young master again, please tell him not to drive me away. I can swear by it. If I ever have ill intentions towards the eldest young master, may I die miserably!"

An Junxi wanted to hit her. With so many people here, why would she kneel to her, making her look bad in front of her elders? "Zhang Miaoyan, you don’t..."

An Junxi couldn’t finish her sentence. Zhang Miaoyan said heatedly, "If you don’t believe me, I’ll die right here! No matter what, I can’t bear being driven out with such slander. Uncle Gu, I have let you down after all these years. If I die, please bury me with my mother, I can only repay your kindness in the next life!"

After saying this, before anyone could react, Zhang Miaoyan turned and slammed her head against the granite edge of the table. Blood immediately covered her face, looking bizarre and terrifying.

An Junxi screamed in fright. Gu Yikun shielded her eyes and said, "Call the family doctor!"
