"If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone." Gu Nian didn't hide her impatience at all, "Going out to meet you is just a waste of time."
"I don't think you dare? What? You don't want to accept the fact that I am engaged to Chu Zhaoyang, and you want to deceive yourself?" Jiang Xiangxue said angrily.
Gu Nian didn't even want to reply to her and hung up the phone directly.
But afterwards, she couldn't calm down either.
She trusted Chu Zhaoyang, but she was also worried that Chu Zhaoyang's parents were doing something behind his back.
Chu Zhaoyang was not here at this time, so even if his parents did something, he would not be able to stop it in time.
She hesitated to call Chu Zhaoyang, but she was afraid that others would be outside and would be distracted.
And it was obviously inappropriate to ask Chu Zhaoyang's friends to investigate such private matters.
At this time, a notification came from the email on her phone.
Gu Nian clicked on it and saw a video attached.
She read the text of the email and realized it was from Jiang Xiangxue.
Gu Nian frowned, how did Jiang Xiangxue know her number and email address?
The text of the email reads: This video was from when Chu Zhaoyang was kidnapped as a child. You can decide whether to meet me after watching it. At three o'clock, I'll wait for you at the SeeU coffee shop.
Gu Nian's eyelids twitched. Did Jiang Xiangxue even know about Chu Zhaoyang's kidnapping when he was a child?
Chu Tian clearly said that only a few people knew about Chu Zhaoyang's kidnapping.
Except for Yan Beicheng and the others, who had a life-long friendship with Chu Zhaoyang, no one knew about the rest.
Gu Nian looked at the video in her mailbox, her fingers hanging above the screen, trembling all the time.
She was shaking all the time and didn't dare to look.
She didn't dare to look at the torture Chu Zhaoyang suffered as a child, but she thought of Jiang Xiangxue's words.
Gu Nian gritted her teeth and finally downloaded the video and played it.
Until the video finished playing, Gu Nian was still sitting on the bed with a pale face.
Before she could react, her face was already filled with tears.
He was still so young, yet he suffered so much.
To be able to survive this, to be as reliable, responsible and steady as he am now, was really... really amazing and not easy.
Gu Nian felt the pain on him, but also proud of him.
Even though he suffered so much torture, he was still able to grow into such an outstanding Chu Zhaoyang.
She even wanted to buy a plane ticket to G city immediately and go there to hug Chu Zhaoyang.
Even though he was now so tall and capable that he no longer needed her protection, she still wanted to protect him.
She wanted to tell him that she will always be by his side.
Gu Nian thought of Jiang Xiangxue's words and held the phone tightly and then loosened it.
She looked at the clock on the wall, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Then, she wiped away her tears, went to the bathroom, washed her face, put on light makeup again, made sure she didn't look fragile, and went out with her phone.
She took a taxi and went to the SeeU coffee shop mentioned in Jiang Xiangxue's email.
Gu Nian entered the coffee shop. The coffee shop was quite big. As soon as she entered the door, she could smell the aroma of coffee filling the room.
The walls and ceiling are decorated with vines, wooden lattice nails were nailed on the walls, and flowers and potted plants were hung or placed. The style was very artistic and comfortable.
"Miss, are you by yourself?" The waiter wearing a white shirt, black vest and long black apron stood by the door and asked with a smile.
"I'm looking for someone." Gu Nian looked around the coffee shop, but there was no sign of Jiang Xiangxue.
She glanced at the time. It was six minutes to three o'clock. Was Jiang Xiangxue not here yet?
At this time, another waiter came over, smiled and asked, "Is this Miss Gu Nian?"
"Yeah." Gu Nian nodded.
"Miss Jiang is waiting for you in the private room. Please follow me." The waiter leaned forward slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and led Gu Nian half a step in front of her.
Gu Nian didn't expect that there was a private room in this coffee shop.
Following the waiter, she walked over and found that the private rooms were small rooms. The largest room could accommodate seven or eight guests for gatherings.
The remaining rooms were two-person and four-person rooms.
"Here we are," the waiter said, standing at the door of the room, knocking twice before opening the door, asking Gu Nian to go in.
Jiang Xiangxue was already waiting inside. She didn't know when she came.
The room was small, with only two seats.
There was a low wooden table in the middle, with cushions with chair backs on both sides.
The waiter did not follow Gu Nian in, but closed the door for them outside after Gu Nian entered.
Jiang Xiangxue didn't seem to be surprised at all when she saw her, and smiled as expected: "I knew you would come."
Gu Nian sat down opposite Jiang Xiangxue without saying a word and looked at her coldly.
Jiang Xiangxue took out a pink envelope from his bag without hesitation, put it on the table, and handed it to Gu Nian: "This is the invitation for my engagement with Chu Zhaoyang. You are welcome to attend when the time comes."
Gu Nian lowered her eyes and looked at the envelope, her chest felt uncomfortable, suppressing the fire in her heart.
She opened the envelope calmly and saw the names of Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue written on the invitation in a serious manner.
The date of the engagement was actually next Saturday.
"If Chu Zhaoyang doesn't agree, what's the point of sending this invitation out?" Gu Nian asked coldly.
"Who said he wouldn't agree?" Jiang Xiangxue smiled proudly, "I dare to send out the invitation, and he agreed. If you don't believe it, you can just wait for tonight's news."
"What do you want?" Gu Nian asked in a deep voice.
At this time, there was a knock on the door again, and the waiter came in and brought a menu.
"Whatever you want to drink, just order it and I'll treat you." Jiang Xiangxue said to Gu Nian arrogantly with the expression of a winner in life.
"No need." Gu Nian turned to the waiter and said, "I don't want to drink anything, I'm sorry."
The waiter smiled and nodded, still putting down the menu: "Call me if you need anything."
Then, he went out.
Jiang Xiangxue took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly: "I know, you are very curious, why did Chu Zhaoyang agree to engage with me, right?"
"I'm not curious because he won't agree to it." Gu Nian said coldly, "Where did you get this video?"
Gu Nian held up her phone: "You gave the video to Chu Zhaoyang's parents to force them to agree to your engagement, right?"
"So what." Jiang Xiangxue admitted without hesitation, "As long as they don't want the video to be made public and everyone knows that Chu Zhaoyang was treated like a dog when he was a child, they have to agree to me. They don't want the Chu family to lose all face, they have to listen to whatever I say."
Jiang Xiangxue sneered: "Isn't it because of this that you obediently came out to see me?"
"Where did you get this video?" Gu Nian asked, staring at her.
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know that this is a video of Chu Zhaoyang being kidnapped when he was a child. " Jiang Xiangxue raised hereyebrows, and her expression became sinister, "You are not shocked. It seems that you already knew about Chu Zhaoyang's kidnapping."
Chu Zhaoyang even told Gu Nian about this kind of scar, and he really liked her very much.
Jiang Xiangxue's anger rushed into her blood, and she became more determined to break them up.
"What do you want to do when you show me these?" Gu Nian clenched her fists tightly under the table, otherwise she would want to hit someone.
L
Jiang Xiangxue pouted, tilted her head and said: "Let you stay away from Chu Zhaoyang. Chu Zhaoyang and I are about to get engaged. Stop pestering him shamelessly. Don't you like him? Do it for him. If you don't want him to make a fool of himself, if you don't want the past he has been concealing to be revealed, and if you don't want his scars and all his unhappiness to be revealed, then stay away from him and don't try to criticize me again."
Jiang Xiangxue curled her lips and said, "The Chu family has been trying their best to conceal the fact that Chu Zhaoyang was kidnapped, and they don't want people to know what Chu Zhaoyang has experienced. After all, Chu Zhaoyang is the next head of the Chu family and is the face of the Chu family."
"It took Chu Zhaoyang and the Chu family so long to recover. If this video is made public and Chu Zhaoyang's childhood nightmare returns, do you think Chu Zhaoyang can bear it?"
Jiang Xiangxue took a sip of coffee slowly and saw that Gu Nian's face was getting more and more ugly. Her mood was getting better and better.
"What a pity that such an outstanding man as Chu Zhaoyang has finally recovered to his current state. He must be a very proud person to be able to overcome psychological obstacles. But once the video is made public, do you think Chu Zhaoyang will have nightmares again? How painful is it? Will he isolate himself again and never see anyone again? Whether it is family, friends, or you, he will not see? After a second blow, he may never get better in this life."
