Shen Wanqing, standing next to Gu Anxi, was completely stunned—
How could this be? How is it possible? Gu Anxi...how could she be Luo Lin? She couldn’t believe it, but everything unfolding before her was so undeniably real. Gu Anxi was Luo Lin—the person Bo Xichen had always held in his heart.
Qin Siyuan’s face was ashen. Only now did he realize what he had missed! Gu Anxi was Luo Lin, Master He’s disciple, the one who had repeatedly mentioned his name, Qin Siyuan, to Master He... For so many years, she had never expressed anything, yet there had once been a place for Qin Siyuan in her heart.
Qin Siyuan laughed, his eyes shining, though he only later realized it was with tears. He watched the girl he had once loved so passionately lead the dance with the man who deserved her. She accepted everyone’s praise and scorn with calm indifference. She was so...dazzling! Originally, she could have been his! If only he had been willing to endure the torment and loneliness!
The Qin family was going mad... It felt as if a magnificent dream had been shattered in an instant.
Qin Siling stared blankly at Gu Anxi. That was a height she would likely never reach in her entire life. Luo Lin—an artist whose paintings sold for tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.
Qin Han, however, was different. After all, he was far more shrewd. After the initial shock, he sensed something was amiss. He stared at Wang Keru, his expression as dark as water, and demanded, "You knew all along, didn’t you?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"Still pretending?" Qin Han spat out another address, "Madame Gu."
Wang Keru smiled, her lips trembling slightly. "Mr. Qin, you really are direct."
With so many people around, Qin Han couldn’t afford to lose face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s discuss this in the room."
Wang Keru smiled faintly. "It’s good to get things clear." Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Qin Han, struggling to suppress his fury, led his entourage away...
From the stage, Gu Anxi silently watched them leave. As Wang Keru reached the doorway of the hall, she turned her head, her gaze meeting Gu Anxi’s. She offered a small smile, then departed with an air of nonchalant grace.
Gu Anxi stopped and murmured, "I want to go check. I’m worried."
Mom’s expression just now was so resolute, as if... as if she’d made some kind of decision.
Bo Xichen squeezed her hand and then led her to follow them.
This time, Qin Han moved with unusual speed. Bo Xichen needed a few extra minutes to find out which room they were in...
In those few minutes, the confrontation between Qin Han and Wang Keru had begun.
Qin Han grabbed Wang Keru’s arm, roughly flung her onto the sofa, and slammed the door shut.
No one in the Qin household, nor any of Qin Han’s secretaries or assistants, had ever seen Mr. Qin in such a frenzied state. Terrified of provoking him, they all stood outside, not daring to knock.
Inside, Qin Han tore off his jacket, his eyes bloodshot with rage. "Wang Keru," he snarled, "today I finally see your true colors! You’re nothing but an ungrateful wretch, biting the hand that feeds you!"
Wang Keru’s head struck something as she fell. Shaking off the dizziness, she sat up and stared at Qin Han with a cold sneer. "Is that so? Then I should thank you for the compliment, Mr. Qin. When it comes to shamelessness, I’m not even a tenth of what you are!"
Qin Han was enraged. He stormed over, grabbed her shoulders, and slapped her hard across the face. "You dare talk back to me? You dare?! Do you have any idea who provides the food you eat, the water you drink? The clothes you wear, the jewelry you adorn yourself with—I earned every bit of it! What right do you have to speak to me , huh? Who gave you the nerve? Gu Anxi?"
