It was all her fault. It was her fault for harboring hope. It was her fault for overestimating her worth. It was her fault for being unable to let go. She had presented him, with both hands, the chance to ridicule her again.

Xu Weilai’s face was frighteningly pale. Her fists were clenched in a death grip, and her fingernails pierced into her palms, but she didn’t feel any pain at all.

She concluded that the person she had b.u.mped into at the country club was probably Grandpa Gu, and he had likely brought her back to the Gu residence when he had seen how drunk she was.

As to how she had ended up in Gu Yu’s room, and what exactly had transpired between Gu Yu and her in the blur, she had absolutely no idea. Given that, how on Earth could she have made use of anyone?

But from his point of view, he probably a.s.sumed that, in order to marry him, she had searched out Grandpa Gu, and deliberately arranged such a scene so that she could force him into matrimony.

She quirked her lips but didn’t utter a word in her defense.

She knew that, regardless of what she said, Gu Yu wouldn’t believe her. In his heart, she was an unrepentantly ruthless and shameless s.l.u.t!

Xu Weilai took a deep breath and suppressed her impulse to cry. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and stated in no uncertain terms, “Just treat it like nothing had happened last night. I will make it clear to your grandfather that I do not want to marry you!”

I do not want to marry you!

As her words resounded in Gu Yu’s ears, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her pale face and trembling body. He pressed his lips into a thinner line, and his eyes grew even colder.

His chest rose and fell a few times before he spat his words out menacingly, “You’d better keep your word!”

There was nothing more to be said between Gu Yu and herself. She was afraid that if she remained there any longer, she’d reveal a sign of weakness. Xu Weilai turned around abruptly and rushed towards the door.
