After he hung up the call, Gu Jinchen remained silent for a while before calling the office line, which was answered by his assistant.
After the call was connected, he said, “Book a dinner appointment with President Ji of the Zhong Sheng Corporation.”
Assistant Zhang replied, “Yes, President Gu.”
The President’s office was located on the 28th floor. Standing in front of the curtained window, Gu Jinchen was wearing a white blouse and had his sleeves folded up, showing off his muscular arms.
He clearly remembered that evening when Shen Youran left three years ago. She destroyed all of their photos and threw away everything that was related to him. Her determined tone of voice was filled with hatred.
“Gu Jinchen, let’s hope that we would never meet again in this life.”
He closed his eyes and gently mumbled, “Youyou…”
…
Shen Youran sat in the backseat with her eyes closed. It was not until Old Wang had told her that they had arrived that she opened her eyes.
Old Wang got down from the car and opened the car door for her. Upon looking at the bungalow in front of her, she froze and furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly. “What are we doing here at the Gu family’s place?”
Old Wang obediently replied, “Big Missy said that she had not seen you for three years and told me to fetch you here for a meal.”
Shen Youran pursed her pale lips. It had been three years, and if it was not for Old Master Shen who was going to celebrate his 80th birthday, she probably would never have come back here again.
Regardless of whether it was California, England, or Canada, as long as it was not her birth country, she was willing to live there forever even if it meant that she was going to be alone forever.
The maids of the Gu family led her to the living room, and Shen Shuna happened to be walking down the stairs. Upon seeing Shen Youran, who was standing at the entrance, her spirits were immediately lifted.
“Youran, you are finally willing to come back.”
When Shen Youran left the country, Shen Shuna went to sent her off at the airport. Both of her eyes were filled with disappointment and despair. “I am never coming back again and I will not give you my blessings.”
In another week, it would be Gu Jinchen and Shen Shuna’s wedding. Since she could not stop the wedding, she could only choose to escape.
After she left the country, she cut off contact with everybody. She did not even sign in to her MSN account anymore.
This carried on until one day, she suddenly called Shen Yaoting as she needed a large sum of money, and she regained her contact with her family.
She had not seen her for three years, and Shen Shuna, who was already married, had become prettier than before.
She was wearing a light-green-colored cheongsam, which had elegant orchids embroidered on the collar. The cheongsam showed off her fair-as-snow and long, slender legs.
She’d cut her long hair, and her delicate hair was slightly curled at the end. It was dyed a beautiful maroon color, which matched her fair and peachy skin tone. It made her look very fashionable and pretty.
She slowly walked down from the stairs and had the gentle demeanor that a girl who came from a rich family should have.
“Big Sister,” greeted Shen Youran gently. She no longer had the cute and soft voice she had in the past.
Shen Shuna went down the stairs and dragged Shen Youran in while looking at her from head to toe.
She looked much slimmer than before. It was as if she was only left with bones.
Shen Shuna felt very sorry for her and said, “Are you not doing well in California?”
“Nope, I am doing okay.” Whenever someone asked her about her situation in California, she would always reply with an “It is okay.”
Shen Shuna knew that her sister had a stubborn personality. If she was not willing to say it, it would be pointless asking her.
Upon seeing Shen Youran’s heavy eyebags, she said, “Take a rest upstairs. When you are awake, I will ask the kitchen staff to make your favorite dishes.”
“Okay.” She was indeed tired and immediately went upstairs after replying to her big sister. She was familiar with the Gu residence and, thus, reached the guest room in no time.
She entered the bathroom to take a bath. After her bath, she came out to dry her hair before lying on the bed and slowly closing her eyes.
She could not sleep peacefully. She still had those weird nightmares as usual.
