Chapter 13: The Liar, He is Lying!_1

Earlier, President Lu had mentioned that there was an important guest coming tonight, insisting that she shouldn't be impolite.

At that time, Gu Qianqian didn't understand why, feeling puzzled about why she should be concerned with President Lu's important guests? Why should she need to specially change her clothes, and be reminded not to be rude?

Isn't she just an unwelcome country bumpkin that was living under somebody else's roof?

Moreover, she had only just arrived here today...

Feeling strange, she still obediently changed into the dress that Mrs. Lu had specifically chosen for her before the dinner.

Before dinner, Gu Qianqian's only thought was to be as inconspicuous as possible.

But now...

She wished that she could disappear, vanish completely.

She was not stupid, she wasn't so clueless as to not understand the situation. What she didn't understand though, was why the gaze Lu Yebai directed at her, despite appearing gentle, was piercingly cold...

She even felt that, he was delighted by this situation.

Including the fact, that she was taken advantage of by this shameless fatty right in front of his entire family.

A year had passed.

Ever since he left, Gu Qianqian's home phone had never been disconnected, in case he tried to contact her.

But, he never called again...

Sitting rigidly at the exquisite dining table, Gu Qianqian's hands hidden under the table clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

She never thought that she would meet Lu Yebai under such circumstances, let alone that their statuses would be so awkward when they met again.

In ancient times, they would be a perfectly matched pair, but in today's society, it was...

She looked at him with questioning eyes, trying to silently ask him why?

Yet, Lu Yebai spent the entire dinner talking to that fatty. Even when he occasionally glanced at her, his smile was as warm as their first meeting, as if he had just met her for the first time.

Liar, he was lying!

She clearly saw the familiarity deep in his eyes. He obviously recognized her and knew who she was. He even remembered their past relationship.

Once upon a time, they were the most handsome and beautiful pair in Pear Blossom Town.

Once upon a time, they were the most envied couple in Pear Blossom Town.

Once upon a time, he loved her, and she loved him too!

Her hands were clenched tightly, she wanted to stand up and confront him multiple times, yet her mother's hand held onto hers tightly under the dining table.

Her eyes were red!

Gu Qianqian turned to look at her mother's face and saw the shock in her mother's eyes. Apparently, she also recognized who Lu Yebai was.

But her mother's look also told her that she didn't know that Lu Yebai, whom they knew, was the owner of this house.

Her stomach growled again, she was hungry!

But at this moment, Gu Qianqian had lost her appetite and just wanted to escape this place that made her feel suffocated.

Thinking thus, she slowly stood up, trembling slightly, "I... I need to go to the restroom."

After saying this, she hurriedly left the dining room, escaping the stunned gazes of the people and... the gaze of Lu Yebai.

In the restroom.

In front of the Chinese-style vintage sink, Gu Qianqian desperately splashed cold water on her face.

The little purple dress wrapped around her enchanting curves, and the petite hem of her skirt flounced beautifully as she splashed water quickly.

The night wind blew in from the ventilated window, stimulating Gu Qianqian's nerves with its chill. She had not fully calmed down when she suddenly saw an extra figure in the mirror.

She was startled and abruptly lifted her head...

In the mirror was a man with a round face and lewd eyes. Wasn't this the same so-and-so gentleman?

She spun around abruptly and saw him closing the restroom door.

"What are you doing?"

Taken aback, she quickly rushed over, trying to stop him from locking the door. But before she could reach the door, Fu Jingchen suddenly turned and pulled her into his arms.

"Qianqian, I think you're very cute, can we have a nice chat?"

Even as he spoke of chatting, the fatty's hand slipped down her waist. Gu Qianqian instantly felt her hair stand on end.

She pushed him away sharply, "Let's go out... and talk!"

Before she could finish saying the word 'talk,' Fu Jingchen reached out and grabbed her hand, "I think it's pretty good here, let's not go out."

"You, let me go..."

As a woman, her strength was no match for a man's. She struggled a few times but couldn't break free. Seeing this, Fu Jingchen tried to hug her again, constantly saying, "Qianqian, good Qianqian, I really like you, it was love at first sight! I like you!"

Damn it! What love at first sight?

This bastard was clearly a lecher...

Initially, Gu Qianqian knew since he was a rich man's son, she couldn't afford to offend him. She was willing to suffer a bit of a loss, if that meant they could avoid trouble. But seeing his audacity grow, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Mr. Fu, this is President Lu's house. If you continue like this, I will call for help!"

Seeing her flushed face, which was as adorable as a little apple, Fu Jingchen became even more excited. His restless hands grew more daring, "Go ahead and scream! If you think it will help..."

Hearing his words, she was shocked, "What do you mean?"

"Qianqian, are you really unaware, or are you pretending to be unaware?"

Gu Qianqian: "…"

She didn't want to think too much, but just now when she said she needed to use the restroom, the housekeeper specifically warned her that the first-floor restroom was out of order and suggested she use the one on the second floor or the public restroom outside used by the servants.

Obviously, she didn't dare to go up to the second floor and thought that it would be better to get some fresh air outside, so she immediately chose the public restroom outside.

But now...

She came here, and this evil fatty came too.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was so scared that she almost forgot to struggle. While she stared blankly, Fu Fatty took advantage of the situation, "That's right, don't resist, stop causing a scene."

"Mr. Fu, let me go, let me go..."

Before she could finish, Gu Qianqian, disregarding any manners, reflexively slashed at his neck.

Her unclipped sharp fingernails instantly left three bloody scratches on Fu Fatty's neck. The pain made him wince and Gu Qianqian seized the opportunity to escape his embrace.

She dashed towards the restroom door and yanked at the lock forcefully, but...

The door was locked from the outside!

There was a wolf at her back, and her escape route was severed. Gu Qianqian's eyes had completely changed.

While she was deep in thought, Fu Jingchen brazenly lunged at her again...
