Chapter 1471: Stop Playing Those Underhanded Tricks

Guo Yueliang had no desire to see Hu Jingxiu at all; the moment Gu Minglei turned, she walked straight past his side.

Just from Gu Minglei's movement in that instant, she sensed that the two of them were not innocent.

Never mind; she, Gu Yueliang, did not care for a man that others had already touched.

Gu Minglei did not expect that in the time it took him to turn, Gu Yueliang would leave so decisively.

He felt deeply hurt, thinking: After so many years of feelings, was she really unable to trust him?

Hu Jingxiu jogged forward: "Brother Minglei, when will you return? Why didn't you contact me?"

Gu Minglei was already in a terrible mood; hearing her call him "Brother Minglei," he exploded: "Who is your Brother Minglei? Are we even close?

You knew perfectly well that Liangliang and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, yet you still came close and deliberately did those things to make her misunderstand. What is your intention?"

Hu Jingxiu had worked so hard to scheme against Gu Minglei; how could she possibly stop halfway? "Brother Minglei, how can you say such things to me? How can you say we are not close? That day, if you hadn't saved me..."

"Enough! Saving you was my duty; there was not a single other reason. Do you understand? Please stay away from me from now on, and stop telling Liangliang all sorts of nonsense. Even without Liangliang, I would never look favorably on you."

Having finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Hu Jingxiu, however, jogged forward and blocked him: "When you saved me that day, so many people saw it. If you don't marry me, how am I supposed to live afterward?"

Gu Minglei sneered: "Then go die; it has nothing to do with me."

Having finished speaking, he tried to walk around her.

Seeing that she could not keep him, Hu Jingxiu tried the same trick again, pretending to lose her balance and falling toward Gu Minglei.

But Gu Minglei dodged, and Hu Jingxiu fell to the ground in a spectacular fashion.

By sheer coincidence, she had chosen the wrong angle; the side of her temple struck a nearby building. Even though she reacted and propped herself up with her arm, her skin was still scraped.

Blood immediately appeared.

She let out a sharp scream of "Ah!" which startled Gu Fengze and Hu Yuemei out as well.

Seeing her niece fall to the ground, Hu Yuemei cried out in shock and ran forward: "Jingxiu, what happened to you?"

While helping her niece up, she looked at Gu Minglei: "Minglei, what is going on?"

Gu Minglei did not answer Hu Yuemei; instead, he looked coldly at Hu Jingxiu on the ground: "The same trick; do you think I will fall for it twice? If it were truly as you say, I have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Does that mean I must take responsibility for all of them?

In front of your aunt, I reiterate: even if Liangliang does not forgive me and leaves me, there is not the slightest possibility between you and me. If you dare fabricate things again, we will meet at the Gongan Bureau."

Hearing him say this, Hu Yuemei grew anxious: "Minglei, a few days ago I met your mother..."

Gu Minglei no longer showed her the respect he had before: "My mother cannot make decisions for me. You aunt and niece should stop wasting your efforts."

Having finished speaking, he raised his gaze to look at Gu Fengze: "When Liangliang returns from her business trip, I will explain everything clearly to her. I also ask you to keep your step-Lady under control and stop playing those underhanded tricks."

His mood was very complex at that moment; he should have been properly currying favor with his future father-in-law, but it was precisely because he had chosen Hu Yuemei to enter the household that Liangliang had suffered so much.

If he had not favored that woman, she would not have dared to scheme against him alongside Hu Jingxiu. Thinking of Liangliang's torment and sorrow during this time, he now even blamed Gu Fengze.
