Chapter 3 Rebirth
Chapter 3 Rebirth
When Chu Xinglan opened her eyes, she saw Gu Ye lying next to her, and she herself was also completely naked, just like him.
Chu Xinglan blinked her beautiful, bright eyes in astonishment. She had been reborn, but on the very day she had her relationship with Gu Ye.
Gu Ye's slender fingers were gently brushing across her snow-white cheek.
"Lanlan, it's so good to see you...you're beautiful!"
Gu Ye gazed at her with deep affection.
Chu Xinglan suddenly jumped out of bed, her two snow-white breasts bouncing with her movements. Chu Xinglan quickly grabbed the quilt and wrapped it tightly around her body.
No, Gu Ye in her past life never said those words to her, nor did he speak to her in such a tender tone. He only said coldly after she woke up, "I will take responsibility for you!"
Gu Ye picked up his clothes and placed them on the bed, then turned to her and said, "I will take responsibility for you!"
The same actions, the same words, but the tone was completely different. At this moment, Gu Ye seemed to have a thousand words to say about his complex emotions.
"No, no, we're all modern adults. Don't act like ancient women who were chaste and virtuous. I'll just treat it as a mosquito bite and don't take it to heart."
Chu Xinglan quickly spoke up.
Gu Ye was taken aback and stared at Chu Xinglan with a strange look.
"Mr. Gu, let's call it even from now on!" Chu Xinglan grabbed her clothes and hurriedly put them on before running away.
Gu Ye wanted to reach out and grab her small figure, but it seemed he could no longer hold on to her.
Escaping the Starry Night Hotel, Chu Xinglan was filled with mixed emotions. She had been reborn, but on the very day Gu Ye was drugged and she was unlucky enough to be the antidote. Why not be reborn sooner or later? Why now of all times?
She still managed to contact Gu Ye, but she had no desire to have any further entanglement with him. In this second life, she only wanted to stay away from Gu Ye and find the person who had harmed her in her past life... to take revenge!
"Lanlan, you didn't come home last night. Where did you go? Did you go to see that kid Xu Yang? Let me tell you, I approve of you dating him. He's just a poor guy who can't give you anything."
As soon as Chu Xinglan stepped into the house, Mrs. Chu launched into a tirade.
“Your mother is right. You are my daughter, Chu Nan. You should find someone of equal social standing. Lanlan, I’m going to introduce you to the son of one of my clients. You must do your best.”
After the same thing happened twice, Chu Xinglan became somewhat numb.
"Dad, Mom, am I your daughter or just a commodity? Does it matter who the buyer is, as long as I can sell for a good price?" Chu Xinglan stared at Mr. and Mrs. Chu expressionlessly.
"Lanlan, how can you talk like that? That young master Zhang is a very good person... Besides, we gave birth to you, raised you, and nurtured you so well, all because we want you to bring benefits to the family. Now that our company is in trouble, Mr. Zhang has agreed to help us, on the condition that you marry his son."
He hesitated, so he knew that Young Master Zhang had character flaws. Even so, he still wanted to push her into the fire pit. In her previous life, because she had Xu Yang in her heart, she refused to marry Young Master Zhang no matter what. However, her parents still forced her to marry him. If it weren't for Gu Ye's appearance, she probably would have jumped into the fire pit of the Zhang family. That Young Master Zhang was a womanizer. Even after he got married, he didn't change his ways. His wife was still pregnant when a mistress came to provoke her, resulting in the death of both mother and child. The Zhang family only compensated the in-laws with some money to settle the matter.
In her past life, she was defiled by Gu Ye, and because he could save the Chu family, she had no choice but to sever her love with Xu Yang and marry Gu Ye.
Gu Ye is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Nearly three months into their marriage, he has been very good to her and puts her first in everything. If that terrible thing hadn't happened, living with Gu Ye would have been a wonderful and happy life for her. But... her nightmare started with marrying Gu Ye. How could she dare to get close to that man again?
"Lanlan, why aren't you saying anything?" Chu Nan's urgent shout interrupted Chu Xinglan's thoughts.
"What do you want me to say? No matter what I say, you will force me to marry Young Master Zhang, won't you?" Chu Xinglan stared sharply at her parents. They only cared about their own interests and never truly cared about their daughter. Even when she was framed, all they thought about was how to maximize their profits.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances. How did she know they were going to pressure her?
Before they could even speak, Chu Xinglan said in an unusually firm voice, "No matter what methods you use, I will not marry that Zhang family unless they are willing to take in a corpse."
"If you don't marry into the Zhang family, do you really intend to marry that Xu guy? That guy has nothing, marrying him won't help the Chu family at all."
Mr. Chu was furious.
"Even if I can't marry Xu Yang, I won't marry into the Zhang family. You've mismanaged the business, why should I pay for it with my whole life!" Chu Xinglan retorted.
"You bastard!" Mr. Chu angrily slapped Chu Xinglan across the face.
"Lanlan, how dare you talk to your father like that? Apologize right now!" Mrs. Chu said angrily, slapping Chu Xinglan a few times.
Chu Xinglan covered her face with her hands; her delicate cheeks were burning with pain.
She had been beaten in her previous life, and it wasn't just a slap. They used every means to force her to marry Young Master Zhang, even resorting to physical violence, but she never gave in.
Now... the events of their past lives are about to unfold.
Chu Xinglan smiled bitterly to herself. She called herself the eldest daughter of the Chu family, but in reality, she was nothing more than a commodity for them to achieve their goals.
"You'd better be willing, or you'll have to be willing, or I'll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter!"
As Mr. Chu spoke, he raised his foot, preparing to kick Chu Xinglan.
"Boss, the company is saved."
Just then, Mr. Chu's assistant ran over. Upon seeing this, he paused for a moment, then walked up to Mr. Chu as if nothing had happened and said happily, "Boss, Mr. Gu has agreed to cover the company's losses."
Chu Xinglan was taken aback by these words.
Mr. Chu also looked puzzled: "Mr. Gu? Which Mr. Gu?"
"Boss, are you confused? How many big shots in the world are surnamed Gu? It's Mr. Gu Ye, who owns hundreds of top Microsoft companies!" The assistant was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Gu Ye? Are you serious? We've never had any dealings with Gu Ye, and we're not related. Why would he cover my losses? That's hundreds of millions of yuan in losses!"
"Well... I don't know, but it was indeed Mr. Gu's assistant, a man named Xue Bai, who contacted me."
The assistant was also completely puzzled.
