Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the way back, Su Jing was the one driving. Gu Jue would stare at her the whole time as he drove. It was too dangerous.

Gu Jue sat in the front passenger seat. He tilted his head and continued to stare at Su Jing.

Su Jing felt his intense gaze and couldn’t help but glance at him. She noticed that there was an indescribable emotion in his gaze.

Su Jing looked at the road ahead and asked, “Little Jue, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“You picked me up, offered to pay my school fees, and even bought me clothes. Why are you nice to me?” Gu Jue voiced his doubts.

His biological mother abandoned him, his stepmother bullied him, his half-brother beat and scolded him, and his grandfather hated him.

No one around him treated him well. He didn’t know why a stranger like Su Jing would treat him so well.

Su Jing opened her mouth and closed it again. How should she answer this question?

She couldn’t just tell Gu Jue that she picked him up because she knew that he would be a big shot in the future and because she thought she would be able to gain some advantage to be by his side.

Whether Gu Jue would think that she was crazy, these words were enough to make Gu Jue sad for a long time.

Gu Jue was too sensitive and meticulous. She knew the truth would hurt him, and he would fall into another cycle of self-denial. 

Actually, Su Jing herself did not fully understand why she treated Gu Jue so well.

At first, it was because she felt sorry for him, and she wanted to gain his favor. However, as the two of them got closer, and all the teasing and flirting from Gu Jue, she felt like her feelings for Gu Jue had changed a little.

Sometimes, she couldn’t treat Gu Jue like a kid.

“I feel like we are fated to be together. After getting to know you for a few days, I think you will have a bright future. When you become a big entrepreneur, don’t forget about me.” In the end, Su Jing chose to say the words half-jokingly. It didn’t seem like the two had a strange relationship, nor was it too special.

Gu Jue’s expression shook as tears appeared in his eyes, “Jingjing, no one has ever said something like that to me. You are the only one who believes that I will make a difference in the future. Wait for me. Give me a few years, and we will thrive together.”

“I…” Su Jing didn’t know how to respond to Gu Jue.

“I will not let you down, and I will definitely be better than Qin Feng!” Gu Jue promised Su Jing in a serious tone.

Su Jing nodded her head with mixed feelings. It seemed that she had unintentionally accelerated the start of this kid’s hatred towards Qin Feng.

The two returned to the apartment. Gu Jue seemed to be on steroids as he locked himself in his room and said that he would study in seclusion.

Su Jing did not want to disturb him, so she went back to her room to play with her phone. She picked a drama to watch and enjoyed the show when her phone suddenly lit up.

Su Jing looked at Fang Ke’s name on the caller ID and said to herself, “What is she trying to do this time? I’m not picking up.”

Su Jing hung up the phone. Before she could block Fang Ke’s number, Fang Ke called again.

To avoid the ceaseless annoyance from this girl, Su Jing thought for a moment before she changed her mind and picked up the phone.

“Hey, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If you wanted to tell me that I’ve misunderstood you, then you don’t need to waste your phone bill. I’m not listening.” Su Jing expressed her attitude clearly. She was annoyed by this woman.

“No, Jingjing. No, sorry, Sister Jing. Listen to me. I know you have a huge misunderstanding of me, so I did something for you to show you how sincere I am to you.”

Fang Ke said obsequiously, but Su Jing’s right eyelid was twitching non-stop.

Fang Ke did something for her?

With Fang Ke’s brain and personality, if she said she did something for Su Jing to please her, it could not be good!

Su Jing asked anxiously, “What have you done?”

“What do you mean by that? You’ll be happy to hear this. I kidnapped Lin Yi, and I even got a few people to ‘service’ her.” 

“I’ll give you the address. In a while, we’ll go watch a good show and take more videos and photos for Young Master Qin to see.” Fang Ke’s tone was filled with excitement. She was a natural-born villain.

Hearing this, Su Jing felt like her head was about to explode. Fang Ke was truly a professional villain.. Fang Ke just had to push her to a dead-end!
