Chapter 50: The Unacceptable Truth
Jiang Xiaobei learned the news that Shen Qingyin was hospitalized on the second night. It rained all night, and after she left Gu's house, she told Gu Nanchen on WeChat that she was not going to attend Xiaobao's birthday banquet, if nothing else, she always felt that if she was involved with the Gu family again, her relationship with Shen Qingyin would come to an end.
At this moment, as soon as she turned on her mobile phone, she saw the first hot search on Weibo headlines: "A few days ago, Gu Nanchen, president of Binhai City's chief multinational group, was suspected of breaking down his relationship with his fiancée, causing his fiancée Shen Qingyin to commit suicide by jumping off the building. ”
Jiang Xiaobei swiped down the page in disbelief, but what he saw was a video of Shen Qingyin lying on a stretcher and being urgently pushed into Binhai People's Hospital. She didn't think about it, grabbed her car keys and went out the door.
The rain became heavier and heavier, the car windows were full of fog, and Jiang Xiaobei's heart became more and more uneasy. I rushed to the hospital easily, and it was already the middle of the night. When she saw the black-clad bodyguards standing at the entrance of the hospital, she knew that the matter was far more serious than she thought.
She clenched her palms slightly and stepped forward with the cold gaze of the bodyguard: "I'm Jiang Xiaobei, I want to meet her." ”
The bodyguards guarding the door exchanged glances with each other, pushed open the door and said coldly: "Please, my young lady has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Jiang Xiaobei took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw the sleepy person on the hospital bed with her wrists wrapped in gauze and her face bloodless, her heart was like a knife.
"Qingyin......" She stepped forward and carefully held her cold hand.
Shen Qingyin broke away his eyes and struggled to withdraw his hand: "Are you here to see my joke?"
"No, I'm just ......"
"Heh......" Shen Qingyin sneered: "Are you satisfied with seeing me like this?"
"I didn't, we're best friends, how could I see you laughing. Jiang Xiaobei explained eagerly.
"Best friend?" Shen Qingyin turned his head and looked at her with a mocking look in his eyes: "My best friend will do something to rob my fiancé?" Do you know that because of you, Gu Nanchen wants to break off the engagement with me!"
"What are you talking about?!" Jiang Xiaobei looked at her in disbelief: "There must be some misunderstanding in the middle, except for the relationship between me and him, there is no distance between me and him...... ”
Shen Qingyin turned his head and looked at her quietly, and then suddenly got up and grabbed Jiang Xiaobei's wrist: "Then you go and help me beg him if it's okay, tell him that you don't have any other thoughts about him, Xiaobei, I beg you, Nanchen is really important to me, I really can't live without him!"
"Okay, okay," Jiang Xiaobei looked at her wrist wrapped in gauze that was still oozing pink, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I will help you tell him, don't get excited." ”
Shen Qingyin let go of her hand and lay on the bed silently crying, "You don't know, I've been in love with him since I first met him, so when he made the decision to get engaged, even if I didn't know him well enough, I was still willing to give up my life for him." ”
Jiang Xiaobei looked at her with sad eyes, her mood was complicated and indescribable, this was the first time she had heard Shen Qingyin tell her about her past with Gu Nanchen.
Shen Qingyin choked up with red eyes: "So no matter what Xiaobei does wrong, he can't treat me like this, he can't be so ruthless......"
Jiang Xiaobei held her hand and his face gradually became solemn: "You're right, he shouldn't treat you like this." ”
Shen Qingyin was slightly relieved when she heard her say this, she broke away her hand slightly, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm tired and want to sleep." ”
"Good. Jiang Xiaobei got up and tucked the corner of the quilt for her, but just as she was about to turn around, her hand was held by her again: "Xiaobei, you will help me, right?"
"Hmm. Jiang Xiaobei looked at her pale face and couldn't bear to let her down.
It's just that she didn't know that her intolerance at this time would bring irreversible damage to the three of them later.
The night gradually deepened, Jiang Xiaobei stood in front of the corridor and looked at the pouring rain in front of her, it was obviously summer, but she felt a cold chill all over her body.
In the morning, after Jiang Xiaobei, who had not slept all night, finished washing, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Gu Nanchen's number.
"Hey ......"
The phone was quickly connected, but Jiang Xiaobei didn't know how to speak.
"Xiaobei, are you listening?"
Jiang Xiaobei listened to his salutation, and his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily: "Are you free?" I have something to tell you. ”
Gu Nanchen had a bad premonition in his heart, but despite this, he still responded: "We will meet in Houhai." ”
Jiang Xiaobei was slightly stunned, it had been five years since she left Binhai City, and when she heard people mention this place full of memories, she was a little uncomfortable. She wanted to refuse, but when she thought of Shen Qingyin's appearance of begging her bitterly, she still agreed.
……
After Jiang Xiaobei arrived, Gu Nanchen was already waiting for her by the sea. She looked at the man with a thriving figure facing the sea breeze in the distance, and a familiar feeling swelled up in her heart inexplicably. But when Gu Nanchen looked back, Jiang Xiaobei instantly sobered up.
She couldn't help laughing at her innocence, it was just a fleeting fate when she was young, how could she naively think that she could continue her previous fate.
"It's coming. Gu Nanchen walked into her, looking at her face a little crimson by the sea breeze, and couldn't help but take off her coat, but Jiang Xiaobei took the lead in stopping him: "No need Mr. Gu, I have something to tell you." ”
Gu Nanchen's hand holding the placket froze and froze: "I'll take you somewhere." ”
Jiang Xiaobei just wanted to refuse, but saw that he had already left her and walked forward alone. Until they walked through a shallow wood, a detached villa appeared in front of the two of them.
Gu Nanchen turned his head and looked at her quietly: "Do you feel familiar here?"
Jiang Xiaobei still didn't realize it, "This is a famous dating mecca for couples in Binhai City, what girl didn't have a dream of Prince Charming when she was young?"
Gu Nanchen's eyebrows frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her answer.
"This villa is my private property and there will be no private access without my permission. His eyes stared at her tightly: "Jiang Xiaobei, didn't you think of something?"
Jiang Xiaobei was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell into contemplation: "Five years ago, I did make a lifelong agreement with a teenager here, but later because of family persecution, I even lost the only token he gave me. ”
Gu Nanchen was suddenly ecstatic, he walked up to her step by step, took out the necklace in his pocket that he was sweating and handed it to her.
Jiang Xiaobei took it in disbelief: "Why are you here?!" But when she asked, she regretted it, because she knew that the truth she knew next would make her unacceptable.
"Back then, when I went out and returned, I saw the necklace lost at the door," Gu Nanchen said in a bitter voice: "I thought you were just playing tricks on me, and I never paid attention to this short-term relationship, but I didn't think about you and didn't forget it." ”
