To seduce her

The assistant was startled when he heard Gao Yushan's excited voice.

"Mr. Gao, don't be angry. It's okay!" The assistant said to comfort him, "The bodyguards have been watching. The man left after sending him off. Nothing will happen."

Gao Yushan's throat moved slightly, and then he calmed down a little: "How is she?"

Assistant: "There are other colleagues of hers in the dormitory who have a good relationship with her and will take care of her. Don't worry."

Gao Yushan took a deep breath and said, "Keep watching. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yushan still felt a little uneasy, and Xia Yizhuo's smile kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't know what to do. He wanted to rush to Xia Yizhuo and protect her, but he was afraid that his appearance would make her even more disgusted.

and……

He looked at the wheelchair beneath him.

It seemed that he had no way to protect her for the time being.

*****

The night is as thick as ink.

The entire Gao family’s house was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

He Manyue sat alone on a stone bench in the yard, her face haggard and her eyes full of despair.

In her hand she was tightly clasping a yellowed handkerchief, which was the "token of love" that Gao Yuanbin had given her when she first entered the Gao family.

He Manyue knew that Gao Yuanbin had made his decision and he was going to give up on her.

The man who had personally brought her to the Gao family, the man she thought she could spend the rest of her life with and reach the top, was going to give up on her.

Her heart, like the setting sun, sank little by little until it was swallowed up by the darkness of the night.

He Manyue kept staring at the closed door, waiting for Gao Yuanbin to come back.

But as time passed, hope gradually faded.

She clasped her hands tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

Is Gao Yuanbin planning to not even go back home?

He Manyue took out her cell phone and nervously called Gao Yuanbin.

She seldom called Gao Yuanbin, because when he went to social events, she would either accompany him or he would tell her in advance. She would not call to disturb him, but would just wait for him at home and prepare sobering soup for him.

Gao Yuanbin once asked why she didn't even call him when he was out socializing, and whether she didn't care about him.

He Manyue told him that it was not a good thing to disturb him from his social activities, and no matter how much she missed him, she didn't want to offend him.

Gao Yuanbin was very touched and happy at that time, and kept saying that he loved her more.

But now?

All He Manyue heard was a cold busy tone.

He Manyue's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. Reluctantly, she dialed again, over and over again, as if as long as she didn't stop, there was still a glimmer of hope.

When I called him for the last time, Gao Yuanbin actually turned off his phone.

"Yuanbin..." He Manyue murmured in despair.

At this moment, she couldn't help it anymore.

He Manyue rushed out of Gao's house and went straight to Su Ruifang's house.

Su Ruifang and she were college classmates, and they have been best friends since they met. Su Ruifang even maintained a relationship with Zhou Rongguang for so many years for her.

Seeing He Manyue's distraught look, a complicated emotion surged in his heart.

"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you? Come in quickly!" Su Ruifang pulled He Manyue in.

They sat on the sofa, and Su Ruifang held her hand, quietly waiting for her to speak.

The moment He Manyue sat down, she started crying.

Su Ruifang's hands were on her back, patting gently again and again, comforting her.

It was not until He Manyue vented her emotions that she finally broke the silence. Her voice trembled: "Fang, I suspect he is going to give up on me."

Su Ruifang's face was full of disbelief: "Impossible! How could he give up on you? Haven't you always been..."

He Manyue shook her head and said in a trembling voice, "It's true. He started contacting lawyers and transferring his property. He didn't come back tonight and even hung up my phone and turned it off..."

Su Ruifang frowned: "Could there be some misunderstanding? Maybe he just contacted the lawyer to do something else, and it's not convenient for him to answer the phone today?"

He Manyue smiled bitterly: "There will be no misunderstanding. I can feel that his attitude has changed. He never treated me like this before."

"How could he do this to you?!" Su Ruifang's face gradually became angry: "You have given so much for him, how could he give up on you so easily?"

He Manyue lowered her head and tears welled up again.

"Everything I did over the years was to please him. I thought that as long as I was beautiful and gentle enough, he would always love me. So I tried my best to become gentle and found ways to spend money to maintain myself..."

Su Ruifang sighed softly, not knowing how to comfort her.

He Manyue took a deep breath, her eyes a little dazed, as if she was lost in memories, but her tears continued to fall like rain: "I have suffered so much injustice just to be with him!"

"At that time, he hadn't announced our relationship yet, but because his two children were taken to the countryside by Yan Yuesheng, he took me home. I thought good days were coming, but I didn't expect Yan Yuesheng to suddenly come back from the countryside with the brothers Gao Yushan and Gao Yuchuan!"

Su Ruifang's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at He Manyue with heartache.

He Manyue told her what happened back then, and every word she said made her heart ache.

Su Ruifang sighed and did not interrupt her, allowing her to continue.

She knew that He Manyue just needed to cry and vent.

Su Ruifang took out two pieces of paper and wiped away He Manyue's tears.

He Manyue's gentle voice had long disappeared, and now became much sharper.

"They didn't know about my relationship with Yuanbin at the time, but those two kids seemed to have sensed something. They hated me so much! They made things difficult for me everywhere. Their eyes were full of disgust and anger when they looked at me, as if I was their biggest enemy!"

He Manyue's thoughts gradually drifted back to that time: "If eyes were like swords, their gazes would definitely pierce through me! They felt that I had taken away their father and destroyed their family. Their hostility towards me was so obvious that it really made me feel uncomfortable!"

"But what makes me even more uncomfortable is Gao Yuanbin's attitude towards me!" He Manyue paused, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes: "I thought he would take this opportunity to make our relationship public and let me stand in the light. But he didn't... He still tried his best to hide it, and even asked me to pretend to be a servant!"

"I will never forget the way Yan Yuesheng looked at me. That woman always looked so superior. She had a very high status in the Gao family and always looked confident and dashing."

"But what about me? I am worse than a lowly concubine!"

Thinking of how she couldn't raise her head in front of Yan Yuesheng, He Manyue felt humiliated.

"Then one day, Yan Yuesheng was sitting at the table eating, looking elegant and calm, with a noble temperament all over her body. The servants were very respectful to her, calling her Madam. And what about me? I couldn't even sit at the table to eat! I could only stand outside the hall and peek in."

He Manyue chuckled when she said this, but it was a self-deprecating smile.

Her voice became even more trembling: "I will always remember the moment when I was standing outside the hall and peeking inside and was discovered by a servant. The servant looked at me with contempt and reminded me to go back to the side hall to eat and not let Yan Yuesheng find out. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented humiliation!"

"So from that moment on, I swore that I would be able to sit there and replace Yan Yuesheng as the mistress of the Gao family!"
