Chapter 621: Chapter 0621: Just a Little Girlfriend That’s All
In the hospital room, Su Guyan lay quietly in the hospital bed, her eyes, like pools of autumn water, unblinkingly fixed on the ceiling. In her mind, the events that had unfolded in the Mu family played out like a movie. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Even now, Su Guyan couldn’t believe that all of this was real.
She had been taken away from the Mu family, and Ye Xunhuan was the nephew of the Qin family from the capital, the future master of Fenghua Group!
A series of explosive revelations had left Su Guyan’s mind a blank, and she still hadn’t fully digested them, or come back to her senses.
Or rather, she couldn’t believe that all of this was real.
Having been married to Mu Tiange, she was well aware of what kind of family the Qin family was, and what the name Qin Rumeng represented in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei circle.
At that moment, Tang Yurou ran in from outside, flustered, pulling Su Guyan back to reality.
Seeing Tang Yurou’s flushed face as she ran in, a hint of confusion appeared on Su Guyan’s pale face: "Miss Tang, weren’t you and Xunhuan going to see Xiaojiu? What happened to you... "
"No... Nothing!" Tang Yurou hurriedly shook her head: "Sister Guyan, how are you feeling, is there any discomfort?"
"I’m fine!" Su Guyan said softly.
This was not the first time she had seen Tang Yurou, nor the second, but the third.
The first time she met Tang Yurou was in a hotel in Fengxiang City.
That time, Su Guyan had fought hard for Tang Yurou, ultimately being taken away by the police.
The second time was a few days ago when Tang Yurou came to Tianjin to find her and casually visited the Mu family, which completely confused Su Guyan.
She and Tang Yurou had nothing more than a passing acquaintance, and Su Guyan could never have dreamed that Tang Yurou, whom she met initially in a hotel, would drastically change her status and become someone she looked up to.
Nor could she have imagined that Tang Yurou would come looking for her in Tianjin.
If it hadn’t been for Tang Yurou, she might not be dead now, but she likely would have become an invalid.
At first, Su Guyan didn’t understand why Tang Yurou would help her, but at this moment, she fully understood.
It was all because of Ye Xunhuan!
At that moment, Su Guyan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The man she foolishly wanted to protect actually didn’t need her protection at all. Just one word from him would be enough to keep the Mu family from acting rashly, enough to have Mu Tiange as compliant as a lapdog.
How ridiculous it all seemed!
But she had no regrets. If she could do it all over again, she would make the same choices.
"How is Xiaojiu?" Su Guyan asked again.
"Xiaojiu should be fine; after bandaging his wounds, he was bouncing around again!"
Hearing what Tang Yurou said, Su Guyan sighed with relief. As long as he was okay, that was all that mattered!
After all, strictly speaking, Xiaojiu was injured because of her.
"Miss Tang, you... "
"Sister Guyan, you are older than me, just call me Yurou. It feels rather distant to call me Miss Tang."
Tang Yurou at this moment seemed like a completely different person, fully embodying the social finesse that Qin Rumeng had taught her.
Su Guyan looked at Tang Yurou and then nodded: "Alright then, I’ll call you Yurou from now on!"
"Mhm!"
"Yurou, can you tell me, the first time you came, did you already know there was a good chance something bad could happen to me?"
Tang Yurou shook her head: "I didn’t know; my aunt sent me to find you!"
"Qin Rumeng?"
"Mm!" Tang Yurou said earnestly, "My aunt said you might be in trouble, so she sent me here to put pressure on the Mu family so they wouldn’t make things too difficult for you!"
As she spoke, Tang Yurou slowly lowered her head and said apologetically, "But I didn’t know they would treat you like this; otherwise, I would have taken you away a long time ago!"
Looking at Tang Yurou’s apologetic face, Su Guyan said softly, "It’s alright, this has nothing to do with you. If it weren’t for your help last time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know what would have become of me..."
"Sister Guyan, my aunt asked me to tell you that she knows about your sacrifices; Aunt Phoenix knows too!"
Upon hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Su Guyan suddenly trembled, "They... they both know..."
"Yes!" Tang Yurou admitted frankly, "My aunt said that previously, Xunhuan’s identity was a bit special. Aunt Phoenix didn’t want others to know about his identity. Even though she wanted to help you, she couldn’t do it overtly, so you have been wronged. She hopes you won’t hold it against Aunt Phoenix!"
"Moreover, my aunt also said that whatever the Mu family owes you, she will help you take it all back. What Xunhuan helped you collect today is just a bit of interest!"
Su Guyan’s mind was racing with a bold conjecture. Could it be that Qin Rumeng was planning to bring about the downfall of the Mu family?
At this thought, Su Guyan couldn’t help but shiver.
If it were anyone else, she, Su Guyan, would definitely doubt it, but if Qin Rumeng wanted to do so, then nothing was impossible!
"Yurou, you... Do you also know about me... about me and Xunhuan..."
Tang Yurou’s face showed a complex expression as she nodded, "My aunt told me. You are Xunhuan’s first love; he really likes you!"
When Tang Yurou learned that Su Guyan was Ye Xunhuan’s first love, her heart was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
But upon knowing of Su Guyan’s silent sacrifices over the years, her envy, jealousy, and resentment slowly turned into admiration!
Here was a great woman, one who loved Ye Xunhuan to the very core of her being.
Even as time passed and life changed, her love for him never wavered, and she never regretted it.
All the years of enduring humiliation and maintaining her loyalty was not something ordinary people could do.
Especially in this era where interests come first, very few people were capable of such feats.
It could be said that only if mountains lost their edges and the earth and sky were to merge would she ever consider parting ways with him!
She admired the woman before her.
"Yurou, I..."
"Sister Guyan, you don’t need to say anything to me, I didn’t mind!" Tang Yurou said softly, "And this is not something I should be asking about!"
"His wife is Qiu Ruoxi, you know!" Tang Yurou added a bit playfully.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a shade of melancholy passed through her bright eyes, quickly masked and hidden away.
After hearing these words, Su Guyan’s delicate body shook violently.
So Guyan’s wife turned out to be Qiu Ruoxi, and she had a history of interaction with Qiu Ruoxi.
"Don’t tell anyone I told you this!"
"Yurou, you..."
"I’m just Xunhuan’s girlfriend!" A shadow of sadness appeared on Tang Yurou’s face.
But then, that shadow of sadness vanished.
Even though she was just one of the women in Ye Xunhuan’s life, she was the only one he had ever recognized.
According to Qin Rumeng’s words, that was called having an advantage!
