Chapter 13

[I remember the worst time was when Gu Minghan and his male lover kidnapped Fu Siyao and took her to a warehouse, planning to extort money from the Fu Family. That incident also left Fu Siyao unable to have children for the rest of her life.]

[Now Fu Siyao hasn't married Gu Minghan, but after the engagement was broken off, a resentful loser like Gu Minghan took his anger out on Fu Siyao even in the original plot. This time, the Gu Family has ruthlessly abandoned him. He'll definitely smash the already cracked pot, convinced that Fu Siyao breaking off the engagement caused all of this. Someone like him has darkness in his heart by nature. This isn't making a mountain out of a molehill-some things simply have to be guarded against.]

Fu Huaiyan was horrified. He hadn't expected that Fu Siyao might still face such an incident after breaking off the engagement. Fortunately, he had heard Su Wanqiao's thoughts in advance. Otherwise, Fu Siyao really might have been in danger.

Deeply worried, Su Wanqiao suddenly said, "Huaiyan, although the engagement with the Gu Family has been broken off, I think we need to keep Fu Siyao under close protection. After everything that's happened, Gu Minghan wouldn't dare take revenge on the Gu Family, but he very well might take revenge on Fu Siyao."

Fu Huaiyan was pleased. He realized that Su Wanqiao had actually begun revealing the plot. That meant she couldn't bear to see members of the Fu Family face danger, so she truly was kindhearted.

"You have a point. I'll arrange for people to protect Fu Siyao right away."

That evening's dinner was arranged at a renowned upscale Chinese restaurant in South City.

As one of the two people engaged, Fu Siyao naturally had to appear for something like breaking off the engagement. However, she was surprised that her eldest brother had assigned over a dozen bodyguards to ensure her safety.

She felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill. She wasn't a child anymore. Did she really need so many people following her around?

So, as soon as she met Fu Huaiyan and Su Wanqiao that evening, she couldn't help speaking up.

"Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law, we're here to break off the engagement today. Isn't bringing so many people a little too ostentatious?"

"It isn't safe for you to go out alone," Fu Huaiyan said seriously. "It's only right to bring more bodyguards."

Besides Fu Siyao, he had also arranged for plenty of people to protect himself and Su Wanqiao.

Fu Siyao disagreed. She was just about to ask what was so unsafe. They were only breaking off an engagement. Could the Gu Family really be wolves, tigers, and leopards ready to devour her?

[Isn't your eldest brother just afraid Gu Minghan will kidnap you?]

[In the plot, Gu Minghan blamed you for all his anger over being stripped of his status as heir. He and his lover kidnapped you and took you to an abandoned warehouse, where they found homeless men to □□ you for three days and three nights.]

[Although the Fu Family eventually rescued Fu Siyao and Gu Minghan was sent to prison, the harm you suffered couldn't be undone. Afterward, you suffered severe psychological trauma and began giving up on yourself, sinking into depravity in all sorts of places of pleasure. Later, when the Fu Family went bankrupt, things became even more miserable.]

"!!!"

Fu Siyao was utterly stunned.

She had thought everything would be fine once the engagement was broken off. She hadn't expected even greater danger to lie ahead.

And why was she always the one getting hurt?

Was she some worthless, lowly thing?

To have her entire life ruined by a man like that.

Fu Siyao had followed the rules for too long and suppressed herself for too long. She had originally thought she would have a good marriage. Even if she never found love, spending a lifetime treating each other with the respect due a guest would have been fine. Yet not only had the peaceful, smooth life she hoped for failed to arrive, heaven had actually arranged such a miserable life for her.

So she was truly angry. Why should she be kidnapped and violated when she was completely innocent?

If someone absolutely had to be kidnapped and violated, couldn't it be Gu Minghan?

Thinking this, Fu Siyao indeed caught Gu Minghan looking at her resentfully at dinner that evening.

Although it vanished in a flash, she still caught it. Sure enough, he still deeply resented her.

The Gu Family's position was that Gu Minghan would apologize and make amends, but the Fu Family refused to accept that, demanding business projects as compensation instead. The Gu Family was therefore furious that the Fu Family was opening its mouth like a lion and demanding so much.

But the Fu Family had leverage over Gu Minghan for being a gay man attempting marriage fraud. If it were exposed and became a trending topic, it would deal a serious blow to the Gu Family's business.

So they absolutely could not allow the matter to be exposed.

Just as the two families were engaged in a heated discussion in the private room.

Restaurant servers knocked on the door, ready to serve the dishes.

Su Wanqiao noticed that one of the servers had a strange expression. He was a delicate-looking young man, and when he lowered his head, she happened to see a red mole beneath his ear.

It matched that line exactly.

["It was this red mole on the boy that bewitched Gu Minghan so completely. No matter how beautiful his fiancée Fu Siyao was, he wouldn't spare her a glance."]

"..."

"..."

Fu Huaiyan and Fu Siyao turned to look at the server at the same time.

The handsome boy unobtrusively glanced at Gu Minghan, then in Fu Siyao's direction, seemingly trying to confirm something.

At the sight, Su Wanqiao's expression instantly changed, and the plot immediately swept through her mind like a storm.

[I knew it. This server with the red mole beneath his ear is Gu Minghan's fucking little lover. And he's even shown up at this restaurant. They must have been plotting this for ages, right?]

[Those two found an underworld figure called Third Brother to handle everything from start to finish. They tricked Fu Siyao into going to the outskirts and handed her over to that gang, with dozens of homeless men waiting in an abandoned factory. They're absolutely vile!]

[When I read the book, I wished the ones kidnapped and taken to the outskirts were Gu Minghan and his male lover, to be humiliated by those filthy, stinking homeless men. If they're so eager to XX, why don't they try it themselves?]

!!!

Just then, Fu Siyao suddenly turned her gaze toward her, sneering repeatedly, her eyes seeming to say.

Sister-in-law, that's a great idea. It's happily settled, then.

Chapter 13

The dinner ended on bad terms between the two families. Although the Gu Family agreed to the Fu Family's conditions, they still couldn't swallow their anger and vented it all on Gu Minghan. The Gu Family stripped Gu Minghan of all his company responsibilities, banishing him to the cold palace completely.
