Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Public Cancellation of Engagement_1

For a fleeting moment, I glimpse a hint of warmth in those dangerous, dark eyes…

Reminiscing how once upon a time Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with deep affection when we were in love.

But I quickly realize, the man in front of me, is not the him from the past anymore.

I instinctively pull away from his touch.

He chuckles lightly, his large hand slipping casually back into the pocket of his suit pants.

He stands with his back straight as an arrow.

“You know? A woman shouldn’t fight for a man! Do you think it’s worth making such a grand sacrifice for Ding Yinuo?”

I glare at him,

“So, you’re saying I’m here because I was instigated by the Ding family, you still don’t believe me? I’m Song Yun!”

Upon hearing my words, Gu Yuanzhou chuckles lightly, disdainfully. He takes a seat on the couch, leaning back with both hands on the armrest.

His demeanor is arrogant, his aura domineering.

“Hmm! It’s not about whether I believe you or not, it’s about whether you really are who you say you are!”

“What do you want me to do so you’d believe me?”

“Very simple! Just publicly announce that you are ending your engagement with Ding Yinuo. That’s when I will believe you!”

Running in circles.

We’ve come back around to the start again.

It seems Gu Yuanzhou has an unresolved grudge with Ding Yinuo.

He is bent on picking a fight on this point.

“How ridiculous! If you won’t acknowledge me as Song Yun, why do you care who I’m engaged to?”

I counter him.

He crosses his legs leisurely, appearing as if he already has everything under control.

“You should feel fortunate! Without this opportunity, you might not even have a chance to stand in front of me. Make a choice quickly before I wrap this up.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t rush me.

After expressing these words, he stands up and heads up the stairs.

In the living room, workers come and go, replacing the old carpet with a new one.

They’ve removed all the wall paintings and replaced them with new furniture… They seem like destroyers, tearing down my warm home little by little from my memories.

Just as I’m taken aback, my phone suddenly rings.

I glance at the screen, it’s Song Zexi calling.

I take the phone and walk away from Gu Yuanzhou’s line of sight, settling in a corner and lowering my voice to speak.

“Mr. Song, don’t come back!”

Before he gets a word in, I’ve already rushed to speak.

Song Zexi stays silent for a few seconds, then his voice drops,

“We’re currently at the temple, my mother just went to sleep in the Zen room. I’m sneaking out to call you, listen, I saw on the news, has there been an incident at our Song family’s villa?”

I know it’s now impossible for me to keep what’s happening a secret from him.

“Mr. Song, what I’m about to say may be hard for you to accept, but it is what it is… the Song villa has been seized by Gu Yuanzhou, it seems his name is on the property title. Do you know any insider information, like, if your father might have mortgaged the property to Gu Yuanzhou or something?”
