Chapter 247 "He dares to make a move on me?"
"What do you know... I was wrong... How could I compare myself to you..." Gu Yunjia shook off Xu Su's hand, stared at her blankly for a long time, and then gave a pale smile: "Someone like you, who is cherished and protected by men, who are afraid that you will suffer the slightest grievance, will never understand how I feel. You have no idea how terrible, disgusting, and despicable men can be..."
Xu Su was a little dazed, then suddenly remembered what she had seen at the alley entrance that afternoon...
"I actually dared to compare myself to you... I've only brought shame upon myself..." Gu Yunjia slumped against the railing, remaining silent for a long time.
Xu Su wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting her.
I'm even more worried about leaving directly...
After a moment of silence, Gu Yunjia seemed to have calmed down. "You know about the trouble my family went through, right?"
His tone was as calm as if he were chatting with an old friend.
Xu Su nodded: "I've heard a bit about it."
“My dad is a junior manager at his company and earns a decent living, but he also supports a family outside of marriage. We don’t have much savings. His amputation surgery used up all our savings and we even had to borrow some money from relatives to make ends meet. We barely managed to get through my dad’s illness, and then my mom got sick…”
“It’s uremia. It was diagnosed more than two weeks ago. Dialysis costs several thousand yuan per session… Our family can’t afford that much.” Gu Yunjia spoke slowly and deliberately, as if she had been holding it in for a long time and was eager to confide in someone. “That man is my father’s boss. He’s very close to my family. I often saw him when I was a child…”
Xu Su's heart tightened, and he looked at her incredulously: "...So?"
The thought of your own father's boss being called "uncle" is suffocating.
“I had no choice. I couldn’t borrow any money, and I couldn’t just watch my mother die because she couldn’t afford treatment. He appeared when I was at my wit’s end and gave me 50,000 yuan.”
Gu Yunjia stared straight ahead, her gaze unfocused: "Do you know what it feels like when someone you've always considered an elder looks at you with such a clingy gaze?"
"..." Xu Su's hand trembled as he grabbed her again: "I'll give you the money, you give it back to him, I'll give you as much as you want."
"...Hahaha," seemingly amused by Xu Su, Gu Yunjia couldn't stop laughing, and it took her a while to calm down. "Too late, too late, I'm already like this...so dirty."
She shook off Xu Su's hand, wiped away the tears of laughter, and walked towards the stairs.
Xu Suzhui quickly pulled her back, saying, "It's not too late, it's never too late, Gu Yunjia, don't think like that, it's not your fault..."
"It's too late! I said it's too late, and it's too late!" Gu Yunjia turned her head, her voice resolute: "Xu Su, I can't turn back. Once I took that first step, there was no going back. Thank you for your kindness, but let go."
Xu Su refused to let go, her voice urgent: "It's nothing, don't take it so seriously. Just think of it as being bitten by a dog, I'll teach him a lesson for you, okay?"
Gu Yunjia pried Xu Su's fingers apart one by one: "Su Su, you wouldn't understand what I've been through. Once I chose this path, there's no going back. Just think of it as everyone having their own ambitions. My ambition is money."
Hearing the familiar address, Xu Su felt a pang of nostalgia.
"So beautiful... Wear a mask when you go out from now on." Gu Yunjia reached out and touched Xu Su's face. "Do you know? Your name has spread far and wide. Even my uncle has heard of you. He once proudly put his arm around me and asked if our school's beauty queen was stunningly beautiful."
"He said this with a longing tone."
Xu Su froze, looked up at her, and said, "He dares to make a move on me?"
"That's hard to say." Gu Yunjia smiled, no longer looking flustered. "I know your boyfriend has a powerful background and a lot of influence, but isn't it normal for someone as beautiful as you to have designs on you? I told you, you haven't seen how disgusting and terrible men can be."
"So, take my advice and wear a mask when you go out from now on."
Xu Su stood there, stunned, watching her walk out of the rooftop...
After a long while, Xu Su squatted down, hugged his knees, took out his phone from his pocket, and swiped the touchscreen a few times.
Her hands were a little stiff from the cold, so she put the phone on speakerphone, placed it on the ground, and put her hands inside her sleeves to warm them.
The phone was answered on the second ring: "Su Su."
The rooftop was spacious, and with the speakerphone turned up to the maximum volume, the man's gentle voice was clearly audible. There was some faint noise on his end, but it quickly quieted down again.
Xu Su rested her chin on her knees and said softly, "Zhou Mochen, I have a question for you, so don't lie to me."
Her tone was so serious that there was a pause on the other end of the phone, and the voice became solemn: "Xu Su, I have never lied to you."
Xu Su looked down at the phone screen on the ground: "So, when Gu Yunjia's family had that incident, you really didn't get involved, right?"
"It wasn't me! Why are you asking this over and over again? Don't you trust me at all?"
Zhou Mochen stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked out. His voice was calm and deep: "I'm here to talk to you face to face. I want to know what happened that made you come here to question me?"
"Don't come looking for me, I'm in class at school." Xu Su hurriedly picked up her phone to stop her: "I'm asking you because this matter has had a huge impact on Gu Yunjia, and I'm a little scared, so I wanted to find you to confirm the impact."
Xu Su was genuinely terrified. If what happened at Gu Yunjia's house was because of her, then...
Zhou Mochen stopped opening the door. "Was that Gu Yunjia in the car this afternoon?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask that!" Xu Su interrupted quickly. She looked at the figure around the corner, paused for a moment, and then hung up the phone.
"Xi Zirong, when did you arrive?"
Xu Su was facing the stairwell; if he came up the stairs, she would definitely see him. The corner he emerged from was very well hidden...
Realizing this, Xu Su's face paled slightly: "You've been here the whole time?"
Xi Zirong walked to her side, paused for two seconds, and squatted down as well. Their eyes met, and he nodded slightly: "I arrived earlier than you all."
Xu Su asked, her voice trembling, "You heard everything?"
"Yes, I heard you," Xi Zirong said. "I didn't listen on purpose. I was just getting some fresh air over there. I didn't even know you guys came up, and I couldn't come out again once you started talking."
She heard it... Gu Yunjia, who liked that boy so much, heard those things with her own ears...
Her face was unusually pale. Xi Zirong reached out and grasped her icy fingers, frowning slightly. "It's windy here, let's go downstairs."
The warmth from her hand startled Xu Su, who then grasped it in return, urgently instructing, "Then just pretend you didn't hear anything today, Xi Zirong, you didn't hear anything today."
“...Okay, I didn’t hear anything.” Xi Zirong agreed without hesitation, pulling her up: “Let’s go back to the classroom, it’s too cold outside.”
