After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

The black car sped on the way to the hospital.

The swelling on Lin Qingran's cheek was horrifying.

She looked out the window, her eyes cold to the bone.

"Ms. Lin," Xu Xinzhu said, "I'm sorry. It was all because of me that you got beaten by that man."

Although she had never paid attention to or known the man who beat Lin Qingran, she could tell that he had a close relationship with Xia Shu and should be a person of prominent status.

The reason why Lin Qingran was beaten was because of Xia Shu, and Lin Qingran beat Xia Shu because of the slap Xia Shu gave her.

So Lin Qingran was beaten because she stood up for her as a boss...

Thinking of this, Xu Xinzhu couldn't help but blame himself.

Lin Qingran pulled the corner of her mouth indifferently, "It's okay."

Xu Xinzhu lowered his eyelids, not knowing what to say to make amends.

"You don't have to feel any psychological burden." Lin Qingran said frankly, "In fact, the slaps I gave Xia Shu weren't entirely for you."

"Huh?" Xu Xinzhu looked up at her in confusion.

Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes slightly, "There was already some conflict between her and me, and I just couldn't control my temper and stopped my assault."

She was already angry when she saw Xia Shu slap Xu Xinzhu, and then she remembered the years in her previous life when Xia Shu and Gu Yichen had an affair behind her back. She felt too strongly involved in the situation, so she vented her anger.

You know, in the previous life, when Gu Yichen broke her legs, Xia Shu never stopped mocking her in her ears.

She laughed that she had not been able to win Gu Yichen's heart in eight years.

Laugh at her for being played around like a fool.

Laugh at her for having nothing in the end and being able to just lie on the ground like a pug, wagging her tail and begging for mercy.

-

Gu Yichen pursed his lips tightly, his face looking terribly gloomy.

After sending Xia Shu back to the apartment, he came to the company, but was not in the mood to work.

All he could think about was the slap he had just given Lin Qingran in the face.

Gu Yichen had never seen such a calm yet indifferent look in Lin Qingran before.

Lin Qingran is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. She is loved by everyone, has a wealthy family background, and is as beautiful as a blooming rose.

She has her pride.

It can be said that apart from him, no one in this world dares to belittle her, offend her, or even... hit her.

This is something that others dare not even think about.

But he did it.

The consequences that followed...

When he saw Xia Shu in tears, he could still use Xia Shu as an excuse to justify his actions, but afterwards, this uneasiness and regret were infinitely magnified and expanded, making him very irritated.

He does feel a little regretful now. After all, it is disgraceful for a man to hit a woman.

He also didn't expect that he, who always behaved properly in front of outsiders, would commit such a serious mistake.

However, what was worse than this was that Lin Qingran did not fight back.

If Lin Qingran had fought back at that time, his uneasiness might have been reduced a little, but Lin Qingran didn't. She only showed him disappointment and ridicule, turned around and left.

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Yichen collected his thoughts and looked over in the direction of the voice.

I saw Zhou Muyun standing at the door of the office, looking anxious.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yichen asked with a frown.

Zhou Muyun strode in directly, with a look of horror on his face, "Fuck! You beat up Lin Qingran?!"

Gu Yichen was slightly stunned.

After a while, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I was angry at the time."

Zhou Muyun stared at him, "So you really hit her."

Gu Yichen nodded.

Zhou Muyun: “…”

"Gu Yichen, you..." Zhou Muyun looked at him with a look that was hard to describe, "Are you fucking crazy? No matter how big the grudge between you and Lin Qingran is, is it necessary to hit her?"

Beating a woman is not something a man can do.

Gu Yichen heard some rebuke in Zhou Muyun's tone.

He clenched his fist and said coldly, "That's because you didn't see what happened to Shushu after she beat him up!"

"As a man, is it your place to interfere in women's affairs?" Zhou Muyun frowned. "No matter what happens between Lin Qingran and Xia Shu, it's their business. It's wrong for you to hit a woman."

The values ​​​​engraved in Zhou Muyun's bones told him that a man's natural strength advantage should never be used to subdue a woman.

Gu Yichen glanced at Zhou Muyun coldly, "What's your logic? Am I just going to watch Xia Shu being bullied by her? It's my responsibility to protect the woman I love!"

"When you fucking hit Lin Qingran, did you not think about how good Lin Qingran was to you? It was neither reasonable nor moral for you to slap Lin Qingran in the face!"

"Then what can I do?" Gu Yichen tugged at his collar irritably, "Shu Shu was beaten by her, I can't just sit there and watch!"

"Xia Shu has only known you for half a year, but what about Lin Qingran? She has known you for six years!" It was the first time that Zhou Muyun spoke so loudly to Gu Yichen.

Because he and Lin Qingran are old acquaintances, and because Lin Qingran likes Gu Yichen, she is nice to the brothers around Gu Yichen and sometimes even takes care of the Zhou family in business.

Although Lin Qingran may not recognize him as a friend, Zhou Muyun treats Lin Qingran as a friend.

"You have no idea what the situation was like at that time." Gu Yichen said in a low voice with a cold expression.

Zhou Muyun held his forehead and looked at him speechlessly, "You f*cking gave up everything for a woman! I don't understand, is Xia Shu really worth doing this for you?"

"Even if you don't have any romantic feelings for Lin Qingran, when has Lin Qingran ever treated you badly? Think about it carefully. Since you took over Jingchen from your father, you have turned Jingchen from a half-dead state to what it is today. Can you do without Lin Qingran's help?"

"When you were working hard at the company every day, she was the one who watched you eat. When you needed connections, Lin Qingran asked her brother to help you. Zhao Yuning and I have seen how good Lin Qingran has been to you over the years, but you don't take it seriously. We are all so envious!"

"Gu Yichen, you really don't know how lucky you are..."

"Enough!" Gu Yichen interrupted him harshly, his eyes suddenly becoming cold, as if filled with ice. "No one asked her to do that to me. Everything she did was her own will."

Zhou Muyun looked at Gu Yichen, who had a cold expression on his face, and clenched his palms slightly.

That’s right, no one asked Lin Qingran to do this.

She volunteered.

"But, Gu Yichen, the most valuable thing is your willingness."

Gu Yichen's face was gloomy. "I told her very clearly at the beginning that I don't need her to be so nice to me. She insisted on doing something unnecessary."

Zhou Muyun was speechless.

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I won't get involved in emotional matters, and I won't say anything about that, but I think you should make up for it anyway and apologize to Lin Qingran."

Gu Yichen's eyes suddenly darkened, "Why should I make amends? She was the one who did something wrong! She was the one who hit Shushu first!"

Zhou Muyun: “…”

Gu Yichen never thinks that he is wrong.

Zhou Muyun knew that it was useless to say more. After all, he was not Gu Yichen, and he had no position and could do nothing.

"Okay, as a brother, I can only give you advice. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I just hope you won't regret it in the future."

"What do I have to regret?" Gu Yichen curled his lips coldly, "I'm just seeking justice for Shushu."

Zhou Muyun was silent.

After a while, he stood up and sighed, "Okay, you work hard, I won't disturb you for now."

"Wait." Gu Yichen called him.

"what happened?"

"How did you know that Lin Qingran was beaten by me?"

"Zhao Yuning said so. Lin Qingran went to the hospital nearby where Zhao Yuning lives."

"Okay, I see."

Gu Yichen lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Zhou Muyun turned around and was about to leave.

The cell phone on the table suddenly rang rapidly.

Gu Yichen took a look and picked up the phone, "Hello, Zhao Yuning?"

Zhao Yuning's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Yichen, you were really cruel. Lin Qingran's eardrum was perforated by your slap."
