Chapter 108: V18: In Rong City, if anyone dares to take the initiative to pursue Gu Zixuan, I’ll go streaking.
Turning back, when Gu Zixuan turned and walked towards Feng Chengjin, everyone present was slightly taken aback.
Gu Zixuan walked with a staggering and laborious pace.
Although the pain had lessened a lot, her sprain was still quite severe, which couldn’t be helped.
Feng Chengjin narrowed his eyes, with something faintly trembling in their depths, and his rigid arms seemed to have a subtle inclination forward.
However, with Yu Yuanshen always by her side, in the end, he did nothing.
She walked a few steps and stood before Feng Chengjin.
Feng Chengjin lowered his eyes, quietly watching her.
She wasn’t short, but he was too tall. Without high heels, her eyes could only level with his chin and lips when she looked up.
He had an incredibly charming lip line, mixed with all the profundity and grace that thirty-four years should bring.
Gu Zixuan stared, paused for a moment, then said to Yu Yuanshen, "Brother Yu, did you bring a check?"
"I did." Not understanding what Gu Zixuan intended, Yu Yuanshen quickly took out a check and pen from his pocket.
As she took them, Gu Zixuan smiled faintly, "I’ll borrow some money from you first and pay you back when I return home."
"No need to be so polite." Yu Yuanshen actually wanted to say ’just write whatever amount,’ but he seemed to notice Feng Chengjin’s state and restrained his words.
Here, watching Gu Zixuan write a series of numbers right in front of him, Feng Chengjin’s deep eyes dimmed, realizing what Gu Zixuan intended to do.
After finishing, Gu Zixuan handed it back to Yu Yuanshen for a signature before giving it to Feng Chengjin.
"Mr. Feng, although I have repaid you and you refused, I know for someone of your status, this is trivial, but I still want to return the money to you, including the money for the purchases and the expenses of these past few days."
Feng Chengjin said nothing, while Qin Nuo beside him looked worriedly at President Feng, then at Gu Zixuan, her face full of frustration and dismay.
Gu Zixuan continued, "I’m very grateful for your care over these past few days, especially appearing by my side repeatedly in my most embarrassing moments, helping me out, and tirelessly accompanying me on so many walks through various cities to relax. It’s just... some assistance I can accept, but some money I cannot. I hope you will take it back, Mr. Feng."
Feng Chengjin pressed his lips together, silently maintaining his posture with hands in pockets.
His eyes shone with a flickering light, just too profound to easily guess what lay within.
"Including the expenses of these past few days?" After a long while, he asked this question.
Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled slightly, but she nodded resolutely.
In that instant, Gu Zixuan heard an almost inaudible light laugh from Feng Chengjin.
It was very faint, yet it felt like a blade slicing through the skin.
Without saying anything, nodding his head, Feng Chengjin took the check from Gu Zixuan, glanced at the numbers, 5 million housing cost + 240 thousand shopping expenses + 50 thousand travel costs.
Without looking further, he calmly handed it to Qin Nuo.
Then, looking down at Gu Zixuan, "Is there anything else?"
"No, there isn’t."
"Oh, then goodbye." Feng Chengjin smiled slightly, said nothing more, nodded at Qin Nuo and Jiang Yuan, then turned and got into another car.
As the pure black door closed, through the even darker glass, Gu Zixuan could no longer see his expression.
But through that brush of coldness before he turned, she could feel that his expression must be very stern at the moment.
Pressing her lips together, beneath the suit jacket, she subtly curled her fingertips, watching as Feng Chengjin’s car quickly drove away.
As the exhaust pipe disappeared under the Paris moonlight, Yu Yuanshen looked at the gray and white European-style old path, his heart quivering slightly for a moment.
Then lowering his eyes to look at the somewhat stubborn expression of Gu Zixuan, an indescribable pain in his gaze.
"Actually, you didn’t need to repay even the travel expenses."
Drawing the lines so clearly, for someone like Feng Chengjin, who indeed didn’t lack this money, was somewhat hurtful.
Gu Zixuan, however, laughed, her eyes with a slight ripple because of Feng Chengjin’s decisive turn.
But there was no choice, she could only endure.
"I can’t do it, Brother Yu, you know the kind of person I have always been since I was young. Even if it were you, the money you lent me today, I would still repay it."
After saying this, Gu Zixuan faintly turned away and walked step by step towards the car.
The driver, seeing this, hurried forward to assist.
Behind her, Yu Yuanshen’s footsteps remained still, staring at that extremely stubborn figure, his heart with gentle ripples, also suddenly remembering why Gu Zixuan once became the first socialite of Rong City.
...
In high school, because the Yu Family and the Gu Family lived nearby, with their grandfathers living in the same old cadre courtyard, once his grandfather invited the entire Gu Family over for a gathering and asked him to pick up Gu Zixuan from school.
At the school gate, he waited for Gu Zixuan.
They found a Lamborghini sports car filled with flowers and gifts.
When Gu Zixuan, still a sophomore in high school, came out, even though she was wearing a short skirt school uniform, her outstanding, quiet demeanor caught everyone’s eye.
However, in the face of a wealthy young master’s pursuit, others were already swayed at heart by such gestures.
Gu Zixuan merely glanced at it and walked past, completely ignoring it.
The crowd was stunned, and some girls couldn’t help but comment on Gu Zixuan’s aloofness.
The young master also couldn’t understand why and chased after her to ask.
In response, Gu Zixuan stopped and said words that left a deep impression on him to this day.
"I don’t lack these things. What you can buy, I can also afford. They’re just things piled up with money; they’re no better than a greeting card. Why should I agree to you because of this?"
The young master couldn’t answer, and at that moment, he was somewhat fond of Gu Zixuan. Even those who were about to step in to relieve the situation couldn’t answer.
No one knew what Gu Zixuan truly wanted in her heart.
Money? Power? Fame? Status? She didn’t want anything worldly, not even the ability to solve problems. She hadn’t even been hurt in love, her parents had a harmonious relationship, and she didn’t welcome insincere concerns.
No one knew her criteria for liking someone.
Thus, when the title of Rong City’s number one socialite spread, almost all the high-ranking officials’ sons and wealthy young masters attempted to challenge her, but without exception, they all failed.
So much so that during that time, Liang Yichao, who frequently climbed over his family’s courtyard wall to watch the show next door, gloatingly said, "If anyone in Rong City can actively pursue Gu Zixuan, I’ll go streaking."
...
Drawing back his thoughts, Yu Yuanshen quietly observed the now declining family situation, knowing her current predicament. To her, even 50,000 was significant, let alone 5 million, as she walked away with clear determination.
He smirked, fortunate that she was still herself.
Yet, after a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but let out a light sigh, rubbing his brow. But why does she remain unchanged?
The taxi departed, heading straight to the night airport.
After the vehicle left, in a corner around the bend, in another car, Qin Nuo nervously watched the distant vehicle, murmuring gloomily, "President, this, this check..."
Feng Chengjin said nothing, leaning against the leather backseat on the left side of the car.
His tall figure exuded an inexplicable icy aura from head to toe.
If being by Feng Chengjin’s side for eleven years was about experiencing an overpowering aura before, tonight, the silent oppressive sea of aura surrounding him made it hard to even breathe.
He was angry, and it was evident that it was very serious.
Qin Nuo’s voice was small.
After a long while, when Qin Nuo felt that in this matter, Miss Gu had unintentionally slapped the President hard by involving President Yu, perhaps excessively so, and the President might tear and discard it.
Feng Chengjin lowered his gaze, glanced at the check’s signature, and with a sudden cold smile, "Add a € symbol in front, cash it out immediately once back home!"
The deep and cold voice caused Jiang Yuan and Qin Nuo’s expressions to both freeze.
It was only then they realized that although Miss Gu had clearly written the large amount "Five Hundred and Twenty Nine Thousand," she had forgotten to specify the currency in the small print.
The € symbol represents Euros, which at the current exchange rate to Renminbi is 7.38, making it swiftly convert to 39 million!
Their hearts trembled.
Jiang Yuan and Qin Nuo’s eyes widened simultaneously.
Yet Feng Chengjin still seemed unsatisfied, as his jet-black eyes flashed coldly and, staring at the phone in his hand, instructed, "By the way, call Xu Chuan and have him retrieve Miss Gu’s phone from Mrs. Xu, remove the card, copy its contents, replace it with a new phone, and send the new phone to President Yu!"
The phone...
Understanding what the President intended to do, Qin Nuo was at a loss for words.
Feng Chengjin raised an eyebrow, "What? You think I’m going too far?"
"No, it’s just that doing this might also affect Miss Gu, after all..."
Feng Chengjin let out a cold laugh, turned his face away, but refused to explain.
Otherwise, how to leave?
He originally didn’t want to do this; it was Yu Yuanshen who chose to stir things up.
And... after this incident, he realized profoundly that Gu Zixuan would not let her feelings drift freely until her identity was resolved.
Divorce...
He closed his eyes in deep thought.
Perhaps it would cause her pain for a while, but he would compensate her.
