Chapter 108: Betrayal
"Also, your tuition fees for going to the United States." Lin Yan shook the bill in his hand and continued," Don' t think your father is out of danger now. This illness can be considered a natural disaster, but there is still man-made disaster?" If your father was hit by a car when he went out? "He was stabbed?" Lin Yan gave a strange smile. 1
This made my hair stand on end. I knew what Lin Yan meant. She had already grasped my weakness and was my parents.
"Then as long as I help you get the plan, will you let me go?" I didn't really believe this person's credibility. Lin Yan had clearly agreed on everything last time, but she had gone back on her word.
Lin Yan coldly snorted and said," Am I such a person without credit?" She was a little annoyed by my distrust, but she seemed to be willing to cooperate with her actions.
"And don't you really want to return to Gu Yi side?" Lin Yan seduced me," As long as you help me get the plan, I won't interfere with your relationship with Gu Yi anymore."
"Then I'll promise you." I made up my mind and agreed to Lin Yan. On the one hand, it was for my parents, and on the other hand, it was because I really wanted to return to Gu Yi side.
"In another month, Gu Yi's novel website has a banquet." Lin Yan looked me up and down and said.
To be honest, over the past three years, I had lost my youthful appearance due to long-term work. There were wrinkles in the corners of my eyes. I was only 28 years old, but I looked like a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
I lowered my head in embarrassment. I really couldn't compare to those beautiful young girls now. While my body was aging, my mind had also changed. I didn't have the edge and passion I had three years ago. All of my personality had been tempered in my American career.
"If you want to lose weight, you still have to..." Lin Yan said after circling around my room. She didn't look me up properly because she was afraid that Gu Yi would find me. Now, she looked at me again before she realized that Gu Yi had discovered me. I'm afraid Gu Yi wo n' t be able to recognize me either. You have to know that the current me is far too different from before.
"Are you saying that you want me to reunite with Gu Yi at that banquet?" I asked. I really didn't have the confidence to get Gu Yi heart. Even I did n' t care about myself. The food in the United States was very greasy. In order to save money, I often ate unhealthy fast food, so I was now 20 pounds heavier than three years ago. If I were to return to Gu Yi side with such weight.
Perhaps Gu Yi hadn't thought of how good I was, and was immediately frightened by my appearance.
"Follow me." Lin Yan felt that just based on her previous feeling, it wasn't enough for Gu Yi to fall in love with me, so she had to make me look like Gu Yi liked.
She knew that Gu Yi had never opened my heart to accept another person since I left silently last time, so she decided to use the feelings between Gu Yi and me to numb Gu Yi nerves. This was also conducive to her plan.
Soon, a month had passed. With Lin Yan's training, I managed to lose weight. However, my attitude and mentality weren't as good as before.
At this moment, I was selecting the gown to wear at the banquet. Looking at Lin Yan huge locker room, I fell into a dilemma. Every piece of clothing here was so gorgeous. I fantasized about my reunion with Gu Yi in a formal dress. I wasn't satisfied that this time, I was actually going to help my former rival betray Gu Yi.
"Haven't you finished picking yet?" Lin Yan walked into the locker room and urged me.
When I heard Lin Yan urging me, I quickly picked up a dress and hastily changed into it. Then, I followed Lin Yan into the car for the banquet.
Sitting in his seat, he thought that he could actually return to Gu Yi side. This was something I would never have dreamed of. Before I went to the United States, I was already prepared to never see Gu Yi in my entire life.
"When the time comes, remember that I told you to leave the Gu Yi." Lin Yan sat in the back seat and warned me. She still didn't trust me.
"Yes." I replied. I also knew that my father's safety was in Lin Yan hands. No matter what, I had to obediently listen to Lin Yan.
"When the time comes, as long as you're back with Gu Yi, you' ll have to get the plan as soon as possible." Lin Yan said. Now, the project had reached a climax.
Just like this, I returned to Gu Yi side as a newly promoted author. However, this time, I was threatened by the Lin Yan to get closer to Gu Yi.
I followed Lin Yan to the long-awaited banquet. This time, it was the third time that I had attended such an author exchange. This time, I was not as unfamiliar as before. During a short month of study, I learned how to socialize and roam the upper class. This was Lin Yan special request for me to learn. I didn't understand her intentions at first, but now that I had talked to the higher-ups, I realized how old I was.
I walked to the pastry area and picked up a glass of champagne. He looked around. This banquet was very grand. I roughly estimated that there would be more than a thousand people here.
It was a little difficult to find Gu Yi in the vast crowd. After all, Gu Yi was the CEO, so he wouldn't be in the author's district if he wanted to get paid. Based on my understanding of him, he would probably be in the area where the merchants gathered. However, I wasn't in a rush to see him. I did n' t even want to see him again. Because this reunion would definitely end with a bad ending, because I was destined to betray Gu Yi.
Gu Yi had treated me so well back then and had always considered everything for me. But now, for my family, I was going to betray the person I loved the most.
At this moment, Lin Yan sent a message urging her not to attend this banquet. Because if she appeared at the banquet, Gu Yi would definitely be worried about the relationship between the two families and would not recognize me.
Looking at Lin Yan text message, I sighed and dawdled towards the business district. Just as I was about to find Gu Yi, a stranger stopped me.
"Are you the An Mo from before?" An author I had never seen before came to me and said," You still know me?"
This time, I came to the banquet with a different pseudonym, so anyone who talked to me at the banquet would know my other pseudonym. The reason I used that other pseudonym was because I really had a lot of feelings for that pseudonym.
The author nodded and said to me," But why did you suddenly disappear back then? That sadistic text of yours is really good. There are still quite a few people copying your novels."
I thought about how I left this place in a hurry and didn't even finish my work. I said guiltily," I' m just a little writer. I don't think so." I still felt guilty about my novel. After all, I had said that I would update the novel properly, but it had already been three years. I still didn't update a single word.
Just as I was about to leave, there was no way for me to find Gu Yi.
From time to time, there were writers and readers who knew me. It seemed that my influence didn't diminish as time passed. This gave me the urge to write a novel again.
"Isn't this An Mo?" I heard a familiar female voice behind me. Even after many years, I wouldn't forget this person's voice. Moreover, no one knew my pen name anymore, so this person was undoubtedly Xia Lian.
I turned around and saw my old rival. She was wearing a light pink dress. She had a baby face, so she looked even younger. But such a young outfit made her look quite out of line. Moreover, I could vaguely see bruises on her white arms. There was also an acquaintance beside him, my ex-husband Zhang Shiyang.
I never thought that the first person I met at the banquet would be Xia Lian. I never thought that she would still be with Zhang Shiyang right now
I've heard of Zhang Shiyang mother harassing my parents during my absence. She knew from some of her acquaintances that I had hooked up with a wealthy businessman, which was why I was allowed to study in the United States. Afterwards, they didn't get any money from my parents and gradually forgot about our family.
Zhang Shiyang didn't expect a person who had disappeared for three years to reappear at this large banquet. His eyes were filled with surprise and greed. I could tell from his eyes that he really wanted to get some benefits from me.
"Xiaoxi, you're back from America?" He smiled vulgarly.
In fact, after all these years, I still had Zhang Shiyang shadow, so I timidly pushed back. He said warily," What does my return from the United States have to do with you? We have long since broken our ties." I had already given up on him since Zhang Shiyang drove me out of my house.
