Chapter 60 Past Life and Present Life
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Chu Xinglan with some sympathy.
No wonder she kept it a secret from her parents that she was studying and was able to live in such a nice house; it turns out she was selling her body to get all of this.
"It's really not what you think." Chu Xinglan scratched her head violently.
She hates explaining herself the most, but after getting involved with Gu Ye, she has to keep explaining.
"Don't lie to me. I don't look down on you. I just pity you. You're such a good person and so young. How can you be someone's mistress? Even if the other person is Gu Ye, it's still wrong. If people find out, what will they think of you?" Ye Xiaoxiao became anxious for Chu Xinglan.
"Xiaoxiao, it's really not what you think. Gu Ye isn't the kind of scumbag you think he is. Actually, things are a bit complicated between us," Chu Xinglan said, full of worries.
"What's so complicated? He wants to sleep with you but doesn't want to take responsibility." Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't understand why Chu Xinglan was so protective of Gu Ye, just because he was handsome and her boss.
"Gu Ye wants to sleep with me, that's true." She couldn't deny that.
"I told you, men are all driven by their lower bodies, they're beasts," Ye Xiaoxiao said indignantly.
"He didn't intend to shirk responsibility."
"He only wants to sleep with you, but he won't admit you're his girlfriend. He's also having an affair with you behind your back. How can you say he doesn't intend to take responsibility?" Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to wake up this silly woman, Chu Xinglan. Considering that Chu Xinglan had helped her and taken her in, she couldn't let her be a love-struck fool.
"Actually, I don't want to be his girlfriend, I don't want anyone to know about my relationship with him, and I don't want to have any relationship with him at all." Chu Xinglan had no choice but to tell the whole story.
"Are you stupid? A rich and handsome man, why would you refuse such a good deal?" Ye Xiaoxiao was confused.
"This is what I meant by complicated. For some reason, I don't want to have too much to do with Gu Ye."
"Why is that?" Ye Xiaoxiao was even more confused.
"This matter... I really don't know how to explain it." Chu Xinglan looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, then said, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
“That’s feudal superstition,” Ye Xiaoxiao said immediately.
Chu Xinglan did not refute her words, but slowly said, "I had a dream that I married Gu Ye in my previous life. He was indeed very good to me, but at that time I had someone else in my heart and felt that he had broken me up with my sweetheart, so I was indifferent to his kindness."
"Are you stupid? Gu Ye is such a good man, how could you still have someone else in your heart?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.
Chu Xinglan glanced at her and continued, "Later I found out I was pregnant!"
"Your child with your sweetheart?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked nervously.
"Of course not, that child is Gu Ye's."
"That's good." Ye Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I found out I was pregnant with Gu Ye's child, I came to a decision and decided to live a good life with Gu Ye and give the child a complete family."
"That's great, the whole family is together, everyone's happy," Ye Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Chu Xinglan glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao again.
"The tragedy began at this point."
My expression changed slightly, which surprised Ye Xiaoxiao.
"I knew that Gu Ye was discussing business with a client at the hotel that day."
"What business are you discussing in a hotel? Did Gu Ye cheat on you?" Ye Xiaoxiao's face showed anger.
"Yeah, what kind of business can you discuss in a hotel?" Chu Xinglan smiled wryly. She couldn't help but recall Gu Ye's angry words: "Are you an idiot? Me, meeting clients in a hotel in the middle of the night?"
She actually believed such a flawed and inaccurate message.
"Xinglan, are you alright? Why are you crying?" Ye Xiaoxiao quickly took out a tissue to wipe Chu Xinglan's tears.
Chu Xinglan returned to reality and forced a smile.
“I’m fine,” she continued. “I believed it, so I ran to the hotel to find Gu Ye. I wanted to tell him the good news of my pregnancy in person, but…”
"You scumbag!" Ye Xiaoxiao squeezed out the three words through gritted teeth.
"I was drugged by three men and taken to a hotel."
"What did you say? You wouldn't..." Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Xinglan in disbelief.
“Yes, they defiled me, and I miscarried during that time…”
"What will happen if Gu Ye finds out about this?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked nervously.
"The next day... my affair with those three men became the talk of the town, but the truth was reversed. It became that Madam Gu, unable to bear the loneliness, secretly met with three hunky men late at night!"
"How could this happen? Was this done intentionally?" Ye Xiaoxiao was furious.
"That's right, but it's too late to know now."
"Gu Ye believed it?" Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Xinglan.
“I don’t know if he believed me, and I have no way of knowing, because the day after the incident, Gu Ye confined me to my home, and I committed suicide by swallowing a whole bottle of sleeping pills.”
"So... this is a tragic story?" Ye Xiaoxiao whispered.
“It’s a tragedy meticulously planned by someone with ulterior motives!” Chu Xinglan added coldly.
"But it was just a dream. It's not because of this dream that you're afraid to be with Gu Ye and therefore don't dare to accept him," Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"This dream felt so real, so... I'm finding it hard to let go of my inner turmoil."
This is not a dream, but a past life that actually happened to me. The pain and despair are still so real that they make it hard for me to breathe.
"Does Gu Ye know you had such a dream? If you reject such a good man because of a dream, wouldn't that be too unfair to him?"
"I remember someone calling him a scumbag all the time, how come he's become a good man now?" Chu Xinglan teased.
"Oh dear, times have changed. It's all your fault for not explaining things clearly. I thought Gu Ye was cheating on me. Besides, what you said was just a dream, we can't take it seriously. We can't pin something on him, can we?" Ye Xiaoxiao quickly explained.
"Whether this dream is real or not, it's always better to keep your distance from him. You know how many people covet Gu Ye. If I get too close to him, I'll only become a target of everyone's criticism." Chu Xinglan smiled helplessly.
“That’s true. I’m a prime example. I was a gift from the Ye family to Gu Ye. If he had accepted it, I wouldn’t doubt that the Ye family would have happily packed me up and sent me to Gu Ye’s bed.” Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, completely agreeing with Chu Xinglan’s words. “However, thinking about it this way, Gu Ye is actually not bad. At least he has never asked anyone to send beautiful women to his bed. If he really had that request, I wonder how many women would be crammed into his bed.”
"Gu Ye... he really is a good person." Chu Xinglan murmured softly, the scene of him kissing her flashing through her mind, and her face involuntarily turned red again.
