Reborn in Flames
As if in a dream, Su Huan stood there with cold hands and feet, her mind a blank. Seeing Su Huan, Gu Beixian's drunkenness suddenly sobered up a bit, and he forcefully pushed Chu Suosuo away to stand up, leaning on the sofa. Chu Suosuo turned her head to look behind her and pretended to be surprised, exclaiming, 'Sister Su Huan, you're here?' Only then did Su Huan seem to wake up from a dream, her heart thumping wildly. She turned and walked away, forgetting to even close the door. Sometimes when things are too big, too unexpected, people simply don't have time to react. She didn't cry, nor did she make a scene; she just felt her steps unsteady, the scenery blurred. The chilly spring wind blew on her face, cold as ice. Gradually sobered by the cold wind, Su Huan became more and more angry as she thought about it. Did Gu Beixian ask the driver to call her over just to watch him and Chu Suosuo being intimate? The day he proposed breaking up, she had agreed readily, so why did he still have to humiliate her in this way? Just because he didn't love her, could he hurt her at will? Anger surged through every pore. Su Huan walked straighter and straighter, finally walking out with an iron will. She left the villa gate. The driver was waiting at the door, opening the car door and saying, 'Madam, Mr. Gu asked me to take you back.' Su Huan was silent for a long time before bending down to get into the car. The driver closed the car door and called Gu Beixian, saying, 'Mr. Gu, I've found Madam, I'll take her back right away, don't worry.' 'Okay.' Gu Beixian put down his phone and looked at Chu Suosuo with a slightly cold gaze, 'You did that on purpose just now, didn't you?'
Chu Suosuo drooped her eyebrows and said plaintively, 'I didn't know Sister Su Huan would come at such a coincidence. I just slipped and accidentally fell on you...' 'I'm drunk, not stupid!' Chu Suosuo pouted and tears streamed down her face, 'It's my fault, I'll call Sister Su Huan to explain right now.' She reached into her pocket to feel for her phone. Gu Beixian raised his hand to stop her, his tone a bit impatient: 'No need, the more you try to cover it up, the worse it gets. You should go back first.' 'But you...' 'Just drunk, not dead.' Gu Beixian bent down heavily and sat on the sofa, massaging his eyebrows with his hand. He looked very annoyed. Chu Suosuo didn't move, standing there with her head down, looking like a wronged little wife. Because she was holding back her sobs, her shoulders twitched. Seeing her like this, Gu Beixian felt somewhat sorry and said, 'I'm not blaming you, Su Huan didn't do anything wrong, I shouldn't have hurt her like this.' 'But you proposed divorce to her, that's already hurting her.' 'Then I'll try to minimize the damage, not humiliate her in this way.' ' Better a short pain than a long one, your way will only hurt her deeper.' Chu Suosuo added softly, 'And hurt me too.' 'The marriage can't be divorced for now, grandma doesn't agree.' Gu Beixian looked at her indifferently, 'My divorce from her isn't entirely because of you, mentioning you was just a pretext.' As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Chu Suosuo was stunned. Her face turned pale, and she asked with slightly trembling lips, 'Brother Beixian, are you speaking out of anger, or is this the truth after drinking?'
Gu Beixian raised his hand to his forehead, speaking irritably, 'I drank too much, my words might hurt you, let's go quickly.' Fearing he would say something even more cruel, and even more afraid that things would escalate beyond redemption, Chu Suosuo left unwillingly with tears in her eyes. After she left, Gu Beixian made a phone call to her father, asking him to keep an eye on his daughter and prevent her from attempting suicide again. The next day at noon. Ancient Treasure Studio. Su Huan received a bank card sent by someone from Gu Beixian. The person delivering the card said, 'Madam, this is a little compensation from Mr. Gu, the password is your birthday.' Su Huan looked at the card and smiled self-mockingly. Money is a good thing, but sometimes, giving money is a form of indirect humiliation. She pushed the card back and said, 'Tell him I'm not short of money.' 'Mr. Gu insists that you must accept it. He asked me to pass a message to you: What you see is not always true, no matter what decision you make, he agrees.' 'I got it.' After the person left, she sat silently for a while, then got up to pack her things and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. As soon as she stepped out, she encountered Chu Suosuo, dressed in white and looking pitiful. She was holding a bouquet of white roses and said softly, 'Sister Su Huan, can we talk for a moment?' Su Huan controlled her emotions and looked at her indifferently for a few seconds before saying, 'Okay.' The two went to a nearby Western restaurant. After sitting down, Chu Suosuo placed the flowers on the dining table. Gently stroking the velvet-like rose petals, she said with a face full of happiness, 'I didn't expect Brother Beixian to be so romantic, sending someone to deliver flowers early in the morning. After three years, he still remembers that my favorite is white roses. Twenty roses, representing everlasting love.'
Su Huan's heart was filled with a mix of emotions. It had been three years since their marriage, and every festival and holiday, Gu Beixian would only give her a card, never flowers, not even a single one. It turned out he wasn't clueless about romance; he just wasn't willing to be romantic with her. Twenty roses, everlasting love, their affection would never change, so "touching." The waiter brought the coffee. Chu Suosuo picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee slowly, cooing, "Beixian and I have been childhood sweethearts; he has always cherished me since we were kids..." Su Huan took a sip of her coffee and said calmly, "Could Miss Chu please get to the point? I'm very busy and don't have time for your nonsense." Chu Suosuo shrugged, "So Sister Su Huan does have a temper, just not in front of Beixian. Such an actress." Su Huan sneered, "I am still Gu Beixian's wife. You break into my home at night, clinging to my husband, and I didn't throw coffee in your face, which shows my good manners. Please, Miss Chu, don't be ungrateful." "Wow," Chu Suosuo stuck out her tongue and made a surprised face, "Sister Su Huan looks like a tigress right now." Su Huan's hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly; she really wanted to throw coffee in her face. Chu Suosuo waited for a while, disappointed that Su Huan didn't throw coffee at her. She had set a trap for her to fall into, and since she didn't, she had to use her next move. She stared intently at Su Huan's face and said, "Sister Su Huan is a smart person. Seeing my appearance, you should be able to guess that you are just a substitute that Beixian found. Now that the real deal has arrived, shouldn't you leave?" "The real deal?" Su Huan wanted to laugh, "Miss Chu, have you never been to school, or are you legally illiterate?"
"I am Gu Beixian's legal wife, protected by the law. I am the rightful one," I said. Chu Suosuo clicked her tongue twice, sneering, "You're so arrogant, but you're about to get a divorce." Su Huan straightened her back, "As long as we are not divorced, you can't be arrogant." Chu Suosuo snorted and played her trump card, "Three years ago, you married Beixian brother for ten million, I'll give you double." She took out a check from her wallet and slapped it onto the table, "Here's twenty million, please take the money and leave him immediately!" Su Huan glanced indifferently at the check and said, "I didn't marry Gu Beixian solely for money back then." Chu Suosuo laughed heartily, " Pretending to be something you're not, such hypocrisy." Su Huan pursed her lips, looking at her coldly, really wanting to slap her. Chu Suosuo said with a disdainful tone, "Three years ago, your grandmother was urgently in need of a kidney transplant due to uremia. To treat her, your family even sold their house, and you were as poor as a church mouse. Have you forgotten your origins after following Beixian brother for a few years? You're just a wild girl who crawled out of a poor mountain village. No matter how much you try to climb up the social ladder, you can't change your shabby appearance!" She pushed the check forward, raised her chin arrogantly, and said in a condescending tone, "Take it, don't pretend to be high and mighty!" Su Huan was surprisingly calm. She glanced at the seal on the check and said faintly, "You got the check from your father, right? It wasn't easy to ask for the money, was it? Does your whole family support you being the mistress? Such a strange family. What's the use of your family's money? It can't hide your ugly hearts anyway."
Chu Suosuo's face turned red and then white, 'You're talking nonsense!' Su Huan stood up and looked down at her from above, 'I restore ancient paintings and calligraphy. If you want to make money in this line, it's not difficult. Three years ago, if I hadn't married Gu Beixian, I could have earned ten million with my own hands.' She grabbed the check and threw it at Chu Suosuo's face, 'Take your money and stay where it's cool, don't come out to disgust people!' The check hit her face, and Chu Suosuo became angry and embarrassed! She pounced towards Su Huan in a flash, reaching out to grab her face! Just as it happened, a figure suddenly darted from the side, grabbed Chu Suosuo, and started punching her face!
