Chapter 39: Two Years Ago

hame to just kill her, wouldn't it"Indeed, his earliest plan was to kill Su Kexin. But while he was in M country, when Gu Chi heard that Su Kexin had an accident, he flew back home overnight without h...Su Kexin's face turned pale, "You know about the incident two years ago, don't you"

If Gu Chi had really investigated himself two years ago, he couldn't have been unaware of what happened.

Gu Chi looked at Su Keixin's face that had turned pale in an instant, "I have a general idea."

Two years ago, all he knew about the incident was the most widely circulated version. He hadn't delved into uncovering the truth.

At first, he didn't investigate because he didn't care; later, he didn't investigate because he hoped Su Keqin would tell him herself.

Su Ke Xin's face paled even further, she twitched the corner of her lips, "Since you know about that matter, why are you still willing to marry me"

"At first, it was because I didn't care at all," Gu Chi looked at Su Ke Xin, with no intention of hiding. "I just needed a nominal wife. A materialistic woman is easy for me to control."

Gu Chi's words were so direct that Su Ke Xin couldn't help but smile wryly.

So, from the very beginning, he thought of her as a woman who would sell her body for money, didn't he

For some unknown reason, this thought arose in her mind, and Su Keixin suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

"But," Su Keixin gritted her teeth, and then she suddenly heard Gu Chi speak again, "All I want now is to hear you tell me the truth from back then."

Su Ke Xin's body trembled slightly, "The truth"

Gu Chi nodded.

Su KeXin's voice trembled, "Don't you think what you investigated is the truth"

Su Keixin stared intently at Gu Chi's obsidian-like eyes, as if she wanted to see something from that bottomless abyss.

Gu Chi also looked at Su Kexin, and after a moment, he slowly opened his mouth: "I don't think you are the kind of woman who would sell herself for money."

I don't think you could, for money, sell yourself as a woman.

Such a simple sentence, yet it was like a spell, leaving Su KeXin completely stunned.

Gu Zhi looked at Su Ke Xin like this, only feeling that her silly appearance was rather cute. He couldn't help but relax the corners of his mouth, "What's wrong"

Su Ke Xin only then realized her own gaffe and quickly averted her eyes, "It's nothing, I was just... a little surprised."

Gu Chi looked at him, his voice dropping a few decibels, "So what Su Ke Xin, are you willing to say it"

Recalling the events of that year, Su Keqin's face involuntarily paled again.

Looking at Su Ke Xin's pale face and slightly trembling eyebrows, Gu Chi suddenly felt a pang in his heart and whispered, "If you don't want to say anything, it's okay."

“No, I want to say it.” Su Ke Xin took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with clear eyes, “Two years ago, I attended a company’s banquet during my internship. For some reason, after drinking a glass of champagne, I got drunk. Then I was taken to a room in a hotel, and then… and then…”

Speaking of this, Su Keqin finally couldn't say any more.

Gu Chi looked at her like this, his dark eyes slightly sinking, "What happened"

Gu Chi's voice held a hint of severity. Seeing Su Ke Xin still not answer, he raised his voice again: "Su Ke Xin, you need to learn to face it."

Su Ke Xin's body trembled, she bit her lip tightly, and finally finished speaking, "Someone put drugs in that champagne. An old man over sixty took my first time."

After finishing her sentence, Su Ke Xin felt drained of all her energy. She collapsed onto the sofa.

Seeing her face as pale as paper, Gu Chi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up from his wheelchair, walked over to her side and sat down, pressing her head into his arms.

"It's alright." His voice was low, almost soothing, "It's over now. If you want to cry, just let it out."

Su Keqin leaned against that warm and broad shoulder, her whole being seemed to have lost its soul. She didn't cry, she just blankly shook her head, "There's nothing to cry about, it's all over."

Su Ke Xin's attitude, compared to crying and shouting, made Gu Chi feel more heartbroken. Looking at her pale face in his arms, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you know the other party was a man in his sixties"

Su Ke Xin's eyelashes trembled, "That night, I was drugged, and I don't remember much. I can't even remember the man. When I woke up, he was gone, only leaving ten thousand yuan on the bedside table. Later, I went to the front desk, and they told me that the person who stayed that night was a man in his sixties Besides that, someone later told the school, saying that I...saying that I was engaging in transactional sex "

Thinking back to the insults she faced, when she was pointed at by a thousand people, even now, she doesn't dare to meet her university classmates because as soon as she sees them, she will be scolded and called "shameless."

About all of this, Su Kexin had once thought she would never have the courage to bring it up. But for some reason, in Gu Chi's arms, she found the strength to say it all.

Gu Zhi listened to Su Ke Xin's words, his eyes becoming increasingly dark. Finally, he asked in a low voice, "Which hotel"

"Century Grand Hotel." Su Ke Xin instinctively answered, but upon finishing, she paused, looking at Gu Chi, "What are you asking this for"

"It's nothing." Gu Chi's expression was indifferent. "You haven't thought about who harmed you back then"

Drugged, taken to a hotel room, and then the incident was widely publicized to the school. All of this clearly points to someone intentionally framing me.

"I don't know, I investigated too. But nothing came up." Su KeXin said, then suddenly realized something and looked at Gu Chi, "Gu Chi, do you believe me"

Gu Chi turned his head and found Su Kexin still leaning against his shoulder, with a hint of intimacy. This made him inexplicably feel a little good. He said in a low voice: "You are my wife, why wouldn't I trust you"

Such a simple sentence, spoken so rightly, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing down heavily on Su Kexin's heart.

He trusted her.

She had so many years of relationship with Gu Yichan, but he never trusted her. But Gu Chi actually said he trusted her.

"Then..." Su Keqin's voice trembled slightly, "Do you dislike me then"

Two years ago, it was a thorn in Su Kexin's heart. She had once despaired, thinking she would never get married.

"No." Gu Chi frowned slightly. "This isn't your fault, why would you blame yourself"

Instead, those who are truly at fault should be held accountable.

Gu Chi didn't finish the sentence, but in his heart, he silently made a decision.

After telling all these things, Su Keixin felt completely drained and exhausted. She went straight to rest.

This evening, Gu Chi was by her side, Su Ke Xin fell asleep faster than the past few days.

Looking at Su Kexin on the bed, even in her sleep, her brows were still furrowed. Gu Chi, standing by the bed, couldn't help but reach out and gently smooth away the wrinkles between her brows.

Hearing Su Ke'xin's steady breathing, Gu Chi took out his phone and called Yang Zuo.

"Hey, Yang Zuo," he lowered his voice, afraid of waking Su Ke Xin, "go investigate for me, about what happened to Su Ke Xin two years ago."

After hanging up the phone, he remembered what Su Kexin had just told him and frowned slightly.

Century Hotel

Why did he feel the hotel name was a bit familiarGu Ke's tone was clearly accusatory. Ordinarily, Zhao Wei would have immediately retorted, but the circumstances were different now.He was particularly anxious: "Gu Ke'yu, don't keep dragging these th...
