“Have it. Keep it for your future wife.”

20,000 yuan for a priceless piece of jade made He Youran extremely happy.

Her fingers deftly tied the string on the jade pendant and made it into a collar for He Shouxin to wear. She patted it in satisfaction.

“It looks good.”

“I think it looks good too.”

He Shouxin fondly touched the jade pendant. The big one and the small one looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were full of cunning.

“Let’s go and eat. We still need to find a hotel later.”

The hotel they stayed in before was on fire. They definitely wouldn’t be able to stay today.

Thinking of the hotel, He Youran thought of the man in the wheelchair. The right hand that touched him seemed to have started to heat up again. Her face turned red and she quickly diverted her attention.

I’m afraid we won’t meet again in the future, right?

What a pity.

She was thinking that she should help him take a look at his leg when she had the time.

At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated. He Youran picked it up and took a look. It was a familiar number.

Although it wasn’t signed, this number was special to her in the past.

He Youran hesitated for a moment before she pressed the answer button.

“Youran!”

Sure enough, Gu Zimu’s voice came from the receiver.

“What’s the matter?” He Youran asked.

Her voice was cold.

Five years ago, she was cold as well, but that time was different from now.

At that time, she was cold only because of her cold personality. Now, she was cold because she no longer had any feelings for Gu Zimu.

On the other end of the line, Gu Zimu could clearly feel the difference between the two. His heart suddenly felt like it had been scalded by hot oil. It was uncomfortable and anxious, especially when he thought about the five years he had missed.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but he still spoke much faster than he usually did.

“Ran ran, I’ve already found out. Five years ago, it was Chen Meiyu who set you up and lured you to the abandoned pharmaceutical factory, causing you to lose your virginity. Ran ran, I regret that I didn’t believe you at that time.”

He Youran wanted to laugh.

Although she and Gu Zimu were arranged to marry by their elders, he was handsome, gentle, and knowledgeable. He was a well-known young master in Rong city, the dream lover of countless young girls.

She had also fantasized about him and looked forward to their future together.

Gu Zimu was as hopeful as she was. He did not care about the birthmark on her face or her status of not being favored. At that time, she naively thought that she was special to Gu Zimu.

However, five years ago, she accidentally lost her virginity and was criticized by thousands of people. At that time, the Gu family also came to cancel the marriage.

What about Gu Zimu?

He stood behind his father and mother and quietly listened to the arrangements.

Later, she stabbed Chen Meiyu and spent a year in prison. This ex-fiancé, whom she thought he treated differently from her, did not even look at her.

So, even if he knew that she was framed five years ago, what could he do?

“I’ve already told my parents. They said that as long as you’re willing to hand over your mother’s company, they can let us get back together!”

“What if I don’t?”

“Ran ran, I know that you like me too. Five years ago, you were angry that I didn’t stand on your side, but now that things have taken a turn for the better, we still have a chance! The marriage agreement between the Gu family and the He family didn’t state who I have to marry. As long as you hand over your mother’s company, we’ll get married immediately! I’ll treat the child as my own!”

His words were sincere and urgent, but He Youran’s heart was as still calm as water.

Gu Zimu’s initial reaction had already exhausted her trust.

So, in the face of his belated affection, no more waves could be stirred in her heart.
