Chapter 433: Chapter 433: The Truth Shattered_1
So much so that at this very moment, all of her dreams were shattered.
The happiness she expected, the love she had been doggedly pursuing, was nothing but a beautiful fantasy. Reality was unbearably harsh!
"What should I do? What am I going to do in the future?" Ye Lu murmured to herself, feeling a void in her heart.
Could she marry into love where mutual trust did not exist?
She no longer knew. All she felt was a pronounced emptiness. She was lost.
"I need to think about it carefully." She got up mechanically. Her first marriage was a tragedy, her second a farce, she cannot be so careless a third time around.
Ye Lu weariedly packed up a few clothes. She needed to leave the Gu Family, to take a break and carefully consider her future.
She thought and decided to take the two children with her. She went to their room, planning to pack a few sets of clothes for them as well.
But by accident, on the computer desk, she spotted a cute external hard drive. It must belong to Yiyi.
Thinking about how this little girl often downloads unhealthy comics, she plugged it into the computer, intending to delete these treasures, to prevent them from affecting Yiyi’s mentality.
But what she found upon opening it was a folder named "Gu Yan’s Criminal Evidence".
Ye Lu was taken aback; a weird feeling swelled from the bottom of her heart.
Spurred by an unexplainable force, she opened the file. Inside were numerous screenshots seemingly captured from somewhere else.
Her breath hitched with slight trembling of her finger as she still moved the mouse to open the images. In the next moment, her body violently trembled, face turned pale white, and pupils dilated to the extreme.
Inside, there were many maps of Gu Yan’s stalking her for several days, including the night of the marriage proposal.
What struck her disbelief was the images of Gu Yan’s emails. Records of her email to him indicating the stock price at 95. Plus, his outgoing mails, ordering others to buy at the rate of 95.1, claiming that this piece of confidential information was provided by a reliable source.
Ye Lu’s entire body turned ice-cold, and her breathing completely stifled.
She still remembered her earlier attempts to test Gu Yan, who vehemently denied of believing such suspicious email. Said it was a mere coincidence, and what he indicated was also their previously predicted pricing point.
She had naively believed him.
Gu Yan had used her. He was aware of her relationship with Third Young Master Jun even before, stolen Third Young Master Jun’s secret by manipulating her and she, who is completely oblivious of his deception, even thought that she was saving him.
"Ha ha ha, this is the real truth..."
Ye Lu laughed until tears flowed, falling one by one, saturating the floor.
If what just happened had left her heartbroken, then this revelation had erased all hope from her heart and left her with despairing anger.
"Gu Yan, you actually used me. You knew everything all along and you used me to avenge Third Young Master Jun. How could you do this to me? I loved you for eight years, foolishly waited for you for eight years, yet in the end, you used me like this!"
Ye Lu was overwhelmed, her heart aching to the core, she felt lifeless, like something was choking her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Heartbroken, she suddenly slumped to the ground.
...
"Mummy, what’s wrong with you, wake up?" The voice of Ye Yuan filled with extreme concern reached her ears. His small hands attempted to lift her from the ground and onto the bed.
Ye Lu groggily opened her eyes.
"Yuanyuan..." Seeing her son’s worried and pained expression, Ye Lu felt even more heartbroken. Sitting up, she held his small body tight against hers. Tearful with indignation, she uttered, "Yuanyuan, Mummy is in a lot of pain and so upset."
The dream of paradise had turned into a hell overnight.
