Chapter 2455: Chapter 596: A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart
Gu Qichen fell silent, and his expression became solemn.
Yes, he knew how terrifying gossip could be.
Otherwise, even today, Gu Mingzhu would still maintain her identity as his sister.
In fact, Gu Mingzhu was his biological mother.
Because of the gossip back then, Gu Mingzhu had attempted suicide.
Even so, to this day, she still has no way to restore her past identity and status.
So she has been living abroad all these years.
Although Lu Yinxing was adopted,
in the eyes of outsiders, she is their biological daughter.
No one would care about your explanation.
Or the world might just think that your explanation is a cover-up, and the truth is actually what you’ve artificially created to hide the embarrassment.
They only want to see the result they desire.
As long as it’s explosive enough, gossipy enough, enough to keep people talking about it.
Then they would baselessly slander.
Yet they have no idea that these rumors and gossip trample upon others like a thousand horses and men.
Gu Qichen was also caught in this confusion.
Lu Yinxing didn’t continue listening afterward.
Because Lu Yinxing no longer had the courage to keep listening.
But by now, Lu Yinxing had actually received a clear answer.
Xia Yangyang disagreed.
Lu Yinxing knew that parents have their own exit strategies.
And their exit is always for the best for the two of them.
Lu Yinxing could understand this, so there was no resentment in her heart.
She was just heartbroken.
This was actually a result she had long anticipated.
When Lu Yinxing decided to be with Xia Ye, she had long anticipated the arrival of this moment.
But Lu Yinxing did not expect things to happen so quickly.
Before, she always thought that even if one day things were exposed, as long as they covered up well, it might not happen for years.
But she didn’t expect it would only take half a year, just half a year.
At that moment, Lu Yinxing deeply felt,
her moment of happiness probably had come to an end.
Lu Yinxing returned to her room.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ye was standing right at the door.
Seeing Lu Yinxing returning in a daze, he also sensed something was wrong.
Lu Yinxing didn’t greet him, nor did she curiously ask why he hadn’t gone to bed so late.
Lu Yinxing originally intended to go directly into her room.
But Xia Ye directly grabbed Lu Yinxing’s arm.
Xia Ye’s brows furrowed: "Have you been crying?"
Lu Yinxing touched her face, and indeed found tears.
Actually, during her dazed walk, Lu Yinxing hadn’t even noticed she was crying.
Lu Yinxing didn’t want to tell Xia Ye what she had just heard.
So she hastily denied it: "I’m not crying, I just went out for some air and it was cold."
But Xia Ye didn’t intend to let her gloss over it: "Yinxing, you can’t fool me. What on earth happened?"
Lu Yinxing suddenly looked up at Xia Ye.
Mysteriously, a sense of despair suddenly surged in her eyes: "Xia Ye, let’s break up."
When Xia Ye heard these words, he was almost taken aback.
And as a reflex, he practically said, "Impossible."
After Lu Yinxing said this, she didn’t know whether she regretted it or was confused.
In any case, she herself didn’t even know why these words slipped out of her mouth so smoothly.
Perhaps these words had been circling in her mind countless times.
Under the latest stimulus, they just came out like that.
But when she spoke them, Lu Yinxing felt as if her heart was pierced by a thousand arrows.
