Chapter 42: Chapter 43: Ten years ago, he stole a ring and gave it to Xia Yangyang Translator: 549690339 Xia Yangyang was even more confused now. “Your mother wants to meet me, why?” Gu Zhaohan’s mother, Gu Mingzhu, was also a character herself. When she was young, she was a film star, and became famous at eighteen. It was said that she had even won an award for best actress. Many people admired her, but at the height of her popularity, Mingzhu suddenly announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Later, she married an American-born Chinese and bore a son, who is Gu Zhaohan. However, they divorced in less than three years. There were many rumors about her, and it was said that Mingzhu’s ex-husband was Xi Jiachen, the richest man in Asia. Mingzhu was also a fashion icon. After returning to China, she opened a fashion design company and was now considered a fashion godmother in the industry. She frequently appeared on the cover of high-end fashion magazines. Suddenly being asked to meet such a person, Xia Yangyang was confused and a bit frightened. But Gu Zhaohan blushed inexplicably. Gu Zhaohan said, “My mother wants to see you because she thinks you are my… girlfriend.” When Xia Yangyang heard this, she felt as if it was a great calamity. This kind of rumor was an everyday occurrence in school, but how did it spread to the Gu Family? Xia Yangyang said, “Why didn’t you clarify it for me? If you just deny it outright, wouldn’t that be fine?” Gu Zhaohan glanced at Xia Yangyang. “I did deny it, but she didn’t believe it because you were the first girl I ever brought home.” Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered. During Gu Shengyuan’s birthday party, Gu Zhaohan helped her by saying that he invited her. Even the old master Gu had a hint of ambiguity in his eyes when he looked at them.

Xia Yangyang really felt like she couldn’t clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River. She absolutely couldn’t meet Gu Mingzhu, who wasn’t just Gu Zhaohan’s mother, but also Gu Qi Chen’s biological sister. If they met again later, it would be way too awkward. Xia Yangyang quickly said, “Since you didn’t make it clear, you should continue to explain it. If the first time doesn’t work, the tenth time should work.” However, Gu Zhaohan suddenly said, “You really don’t want to have any involvement with me?” Xia Yangyang was stunned. Gu Zhaohan had a cold look on his face and said, “I understand now.” Then he turned around and left, leaving Xia Yangyang alone in the wind. What is going on with this icy Gu? He is really unpredictable. Xia Yangyang didn’t take it to heart. She hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so she decided to go to the snack street outside the school to eat some beef noodles. Unexpectedly, when she got to the school’s gate, she saw a familiar Ferrari from afar. That was Lu Haotian’s car, a gift from Lu Zhenghai for his 20th birthday three years ago. Lu Haotian was standing next to the car, smoking a cigarette. Xia Yangyang didn’t know when he had picked up smoking. Obviously, Lu Haotian had also spotted Xia Yangyang. Their eyes met and Xia Yangyang felt surprisingly calm. Even Xia Yangyang herself found it strange. Now, upon seeing this young man, she was no longer furious or hysterical. It was as if a thin scab had formed over the wound from which she had once bled. Though it was still very painful, Xia Yangyang knew time would heal it. Lu Haotian had already put out his cigarette and was now walking towards her. Xia Yangyang stood in place, watching him draw nearer and nearer. Suddenly, she thought back to when she was ten years old. The 13-year-old Lu Haotian suddenly took out a diamond ring and proposed to Xia Yangyang. At the time, they were young and innocent, like a pair of childhood sweethearts. Xia Yangyang happily accepted. Only later did she find out that the ring Lu Haotian stole was from his mother’s million-dollar engagement ring. He lied to his family, claiming it was stolen by a thief. When found out, he stubbornly refused to reveal where it had gone. The Lu family assumed he had sold the ring for money to spend recklessly and firmly punished Lu Haotian for his actions. Only later did they find out that the little rascal had stolen the ring to give to Xia Yangyang..
