MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 13 Episode 97

Apart from Gu Jingyu, there were actually many other people here with him.

But the moment she entered, the only person she saw was Gu Jingyu.

Forgive her for not being able to treat Gu Jingyu as just another average person passing by yet.

Because no matter what, he was the first man she had been with. Previously, they had had such intimate physical contact.

But now, they were a pair of strangers again.

On the side, there were many people around Gu Jingyu. Some of them were big shots in the film industry, while others were sons of wealthy families. All of them were doing well in their fields.

Upon seeing Su Wan, one of the people there, Master Liu, had delight written all over his face. He stood up instantly and said, “Hey, she’s here, she’s here. Look, the person I was talking about. The little celebrity. Come here, come here. Come over to me.”

Su Wan immediately bowed her head. She genuinely wanted to pretend that she did not exist. But there was absolutely no way for her to avoid this situation.

She stood there for a long time. However, her supervisor behind her pushed her directly towards them.

The supervisor felt anxious just looking at Su Wan.

Su Wan was usually quite clever at her work. Why was there something off about her today?

She was being so unpresentable in front of so many people whom she could not afford to offend.

At being pushed, Su Wan walked straight ahead.

From the side, Master Liu grabbed ahold of Su Wan.

“Oh, my little beauty. Let me take a look. You’re quite pretty. Why aren’t you famous yet? Follow me. I’ll get people to look after you. You’ll definitely become famous.”

Su Wan could not help but look at Gu Jingyu at the back.

Master Liu immediately said, “Eh, that’s right. We should have Jingyu look after you. You know Jingyu, right? Inside and outside the country, everywhere in the country, he’s the most famous idol and the most powerful celebrity. With him looking after you, you’ll become famous within minutes.”

Gu Jingyu looked straight indifferently as if he had not seen Su Wan at all.

When he heard Master Liu’s words now, he merely raised his wine glass calmly.

However, he took a sip before slamming it directly onto the table, causing a thud.

The people present froze collectively.

Master Liu was very observant. He immediately looked towards Su Wan and said, “Hey, that, that, Su Wan. Why don’t you quickly go and placate our Jingyu? Jingyu, look. Doesn’t this lady look radiant? I especially got her here to wait upon you.”

But Gu Jingyu looked up and glanced at Su Wan at the side.

“No need. I don’t want an easy woman like her.”

Su Wan’s face stiffened.

Master Liu had an awkward expression on his face. He looked at Su Wan, thinking to himself that she was truly quite beautiful despite being an easy woman.

But since Gu Jingyu did not like her, he merely chuckled. “True, true. Jingyu won’t even look at goods of such quality. Those who can match up to Gu Jingyu’s level must be those rich young ladies whose families are well-matched in terms of social status and are very cultured. We’re different. We like easy women like you. Hehe. Come, what’s your name?”

He started to grope Su Wan again.

However, his hand had just touched her shoulder when Gu Jingyu suddenly grasped his wine glass. He looked up at the rest. “If we’re going to have fun, let’s do it properly. Women or whatever, send them all out.”

They looked at him.

They looked at each other before looking at Gu Jingyu again.

Although Gu Jingyu was so disrespectful, they still had to show Gu Jingyu sufficient respect.

It was all because this man was not to be trifled with.

Who in C Nation dared to offend members of the Gu family? Furthermore, this man was the Third Young Master of the Gu family.

Master Liu immediately said, “Alright, alright. Since our Jingyu wants peace and quiet, we’ll just keep him company today. Go, go. All the women, go out.”

Master Liu glanced longingly at Su Wan, thinking to himself that he could still get his hands on her sooner or later, if not now. Then, he chased them all out.

After leaving, Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was so hurtful that Gu Jingyu called her an easy woman, it was precisely because he did not like easy women that she was spared from disaster this time.

But when the people outside saw Su Wan come out, they momentarily rejoiced in her misfortune.

“Why did she come out?”

“Is it because she wasn’t to Jingyu’s taste?”

“I knew it. How could Gu Jingyu possibly like the women here? If he wanted a woman, he would look for those high-class ones.”

“Oh, but at least she went in and saw him in the flesh. I want to go in and interact with him too.”

But Su Wan genuinely did not want to go in again.

She exhaled and looked at the people outside. Then, she saw that the supervisor had walked over to her.

“Su Wan, I let you go in out of good intentions. But this is how you repay me. Do you know the status of these people? You saw them. Gu Jingyu was also inside. Every one of the people who mix around with Gu Jingyu has fame and prestige. I can’t believe you dared to behave petulantly. I think you no longer want to work here.”

Gu Jingyu would actually come here…

Indeed, she no longer wanted to work here.

“I won’t work here anymore. I’m resigning.” She grabbed the nametag on her clothes and put it on the table.

What?

The supervisor did not expect this lass… to be so unyielding.

“Hey, I only told you to go in to socialize with them. All of these people are prominent figures. If you can claim connections with even one of them, you don’t have to worry for the rest of your life. You…”

“I’m really quitting.”

Su Wan left the place without hesitation.

She took the public bus and then the subway, returning to the school unhurriedly.

She had just reached the entrance when she saw Chen Jian going in too.

“Su Wan, you’re back.”

“Why are you here?”

Chen Jian said, “I knew that you definitely wouldn’t listen and go for your part-time job. Eh, that’s why I came here to wait for you.”

“You…” Su Wan continued, “You don’t have to do this. I’ve quit. I won’t be working anymore.”

Chen Jian froze but did not ask further. He paused before taking out some money from his pocket. “Take this first.”

“Huh? No need, no need. I’ll look for other jobs. Don’t give me money.”

“I’m lending it to you. Take it. Otherwise, you’ll have nothing to eat at all. If you starve to death, I’ll have one less friend. Quick, take it. Alright. I’ll go off first.” He forcefully stuffed the money into her pocket.

He knew that she did not want to take it. Thus, he ran off without giving her the chance to refuse.

“Chen Jian!” Su Wan called out to him but he did not stop.

She stood there and looked on blankly. However, she was unaware that a car had been following behind her quietly all the way.

Huh. He had thought she was virtuous.

Huh. He had thought she was proud.

But after rejecting him and leaving him, she still turned around and took money from someone else.

Gu Jingyu was in his car with his hands on the steering wheel as he looked at her.

He suddenly alighted after a long time.

Su Wan sighed. Looking at the empty and desolate streets, she thought that she would return the money to him tomorrow. She definitely had to return it to him. She would not continue to accept his help. Otherwise, it would be too unbecoming of her.

However, after taking one step, she was suddenly stopped by a tall figure.

She froze and felt a familiar scent approach her. Thereafter, the strong man stretched his arms open and swiftly pulled her close to him. After being pushed against the wall, in the dark, she saw the indifference in the man’s eyes. When he looked at her, there was a ruthless disdain in the depths of his eyes.

“Why? So you didn’t want my money because you already had another target.”
