UNEDITED

As Su Rui looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her at Gu Company’s entrance, she self-protectively and subconsciously took a half step back.

Su Rui can understand if one wears thicker clothes and a mask on a cold day.

But what’s the point of wearing huge sunglasses and a baseball cap on such a cloudy day?

To rob money?

Or is it a new trend?

Hopefully, she isn’t a psychopath.

These days, one has to walk away if one sees a psychopath.

Su Rui pondered about it strangely in her head. She was going to move away and distance herself away from the woman.

However, at that moment, that person called out to her.

“You are Su Rui, right?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party clearly called out her name and even informed her origin, Su Rui really didn’t recognise the person in front of her. She is Siria, the female celebrity who recently returned to the country to expand her career and Gu Yu Cheng’s rumoured ex-girlfriend.

Although it was later confirmed that Bai Xin Yu and Gu Yu Cheng did not have any relationship between them and they were not even childhood sweethearts, a girlfriend would always be particularly sensitive to this kind of woman, whose name was once together with her boyfriend’s name in a news article.

Su Rui was of no exception.

Thus, although Su Rui didn’t take Gu Yu Cheng’s fake first love to heart, she remembered the three words “Bai Xin Yu” very well.

Su Rui is actually quite surprised to meet Bai Xin Yu.

Su Rui suddenly remembered the day before the gossip about Siria and Gu Yu Cheng was exposed on the Internet, Liu Ling also joking asked Su Rui: What would she do if Bai Xin Yu went to find her as a legitimate wife[1] finding the third party after she knew that Gu Yu Cheng is currently dating her?

At that time, Su Rui glared at Liu Ling and just refuted with a question: If you want to compare it this way, she (Su Rui) is the legitimate wife, okay?

That was just a joke.

Su Rui hadn’t even thought about the possibility that she and Miss Bai would ever meet.

It was not like they lived in a neighbourhood that was a market selling vegetables.

Or there was some mysterious force that brought together people who are originally unrelated to each other.

Both Bai Xin Yu and Su Rui had very different social circles. It was impossible for them to cross paths.

It is the same for Gu Yu Cheng as well. If they hadn’t met by chance that day, it was unlikely that they would have any contact with each other again.

It is just that Su Rui hadn’t thought that she would meet Bai Xin Yu at Gu Company’s entrance in this manner.

Why is Bai Xin Yu doing at Gu Company? To look for Gu Yu Cheng?

Su Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at the “fully armed” woman.

Bai Xin Yu was indeed here to look for Gu Yu Cheng today.

Looking at those intimate photos online of Gu Yu Cheng and the woman in front of her at the banquet, Bai Xin Yu only felt as if her heart was sliced a thousand times[2].

She couldn’t bear it anymore and didn’t want to wait any longer. She had to come and ask Gu Yu Cheng why he had another woman and why he didn’t wait for her?!

Could it be that before she returned to China and met him, Gu Yu Cheng actually had another romantic relationship?

No, that is impossible. In her past life, even if she hadn’t paid much attention to the news in China, she had heard that Gu Yu Cheng had been alone until he was 36 and hadn’t dated anyone before.

Yes, Bai Xin Yu has been reborn.

Three years ago, she was reborn.

In her past life, Bai Xin Yu lived abroad until the age of 36 because she didn’t want to face her bankrupt and ruined family. She had to return to the country due to some of the Bai family’s past debts after her father had passed away from an illness.

On her first night back in China, she was accidentally involved in a business rival’s plot against Gu Yu Cheng.

After that, everyone misunderstood the relationship between the two of them because she was in Gu Yu Cheng’s hotel room.

When she was in high school, she was interested in Gu Yu Cheng. If it weren’t for the Bai family’s bankruptcy and the Gu family’s attitude and Gu Yu Cheng’s attitude made her discontented, she would not leave in sorrow.

Therefore, she did not explain when she was confronted with the suspicion and misunderstandings by other people.

Later, when Gu Yu Cheng found her, he only asked one question: To clarify or to take responsibility?

She chose the latter.

Later on, Gu Yu Cheng precisely did what he had promised: He helped her deal with the debts of the Bai family, paid off her overseas tuition fees, brought her back to the Gu family, gave her the status of Mrs Gu, gave her a card that has 500,000 RMB deposited every month, and gave her full autonomy and freedom.

It was just that, as Gu Yu Cheng had said, he would only give her an identity.

Their marriage lasted for five years, but he never touched her, and he rarely returned to the Gu house. It was so much so that the number they met each was very pitiful.

Moreover, Gu Yu Cheng was always cold and icy, making it difficult for her to approach him.

Sometimes she even wondered if Gu Yu Cheng married her to take responsibility for her, to deal with that woman, Yu Jing, or to account for the outside world.

At first, Bai Xin Yu had a tinge of anticipation that the two would be able to act like an average couple.

It was just that she had her pride and she wouldn’t beg Gu Yu Cheng.

As time went by, the tiny bit of fondness she had before had long been worn away, and she began to resent and loathe Gu Yu Cheng.

Without any scruple, she had started to tell people that Gu Yu Cheng can’t perform in that area. Also, she started not to return to the Gu House and started hanging around with the money he gave her outside.

It wasn’t until she finally contracted a severe illness and had to be hospitalised that she began to regret it.

During the last period of her life, Bai Xin Yu suddenly felt like she had understood many things.

Gu Yu Cheng seldom came home because he was swamped. Gu Yu Cheng was always cold and icy, but his personality was originally like that. After all, he didn’t only treat her like that but to other people as well.

He doesn’t touch her, which perhaps was to respect her.

How could Gu Yu Cheng know that she was willing to accept him if she didn’t express it?

Moreover, Gu Yu Cheng had not been married for so many years. Could it be because he was waiting for her?

It was because of her lack of confidence and maturity that misunderstood him and let him down.

Bai Xin Yu died with regret. However, she did not expect that she would be reborn and reborn in the year when she was 24 years old.

After her rebirth, Bai Xin Yu vowed that she would return to Gu Yu Cheng’s side again, she would love him, and she would never let him down again.

In this life, Bai Xin Yu did not muddle along and spend her days abroad.

It took her three years to make a name for herself in the music industry abroad, and she even won the esteemed golden music awards.

In this life, Bai Xin Yu returned to China ten years earlier than in her previous life. She was in her prime.

This time, she was no longer the down-and-out girl who is in debts and self-pity. She is the musical talent and the pride of the Chinese people that returned gloriously.

In this way, she can finally stand proudly beside Gu Yu Cheng and uprightly assume the title of Mrs Gu.

However, Bai Xin Yu never thought that Gu Yu Cheng would have a girlfriend when she returned this time.

Why? Gu Yu Cheng was clearly waiting for her. So why would Su Rui suddenly pop up now?!

Su Rui? The daughter of Su Hua Group.

In her previous life, she only cared about being resentful all day long and rarely paid attention to Gu Yu Cheng and the business world at all.

However, she vaguely seemed to have heard that the daughter of Su Hua Group was married to Su Hua’s business administrator at that time.

Why would she be Gu Yu Cheng’s girlfriend now?

Looking at Su Rui, Bai Xin Yu’s eyes, hidden under the sunglasses, were filled with intense repulsion, and she felt more anxious.

She said to herself in her head a few times that she was reborn, knew everything about the future, and there wouldn’t be any unforeseen circumstances before she was finally calm again.

After calming down, she looked at Su Rui again. Bai Xin Yu’s gaze contained a hint of contemptuousness.

After ten years, there is no other woman beside Gu Yu Cheng, so the woman in front of her would only be in the past tense, and she is the one who will end up becoming married to Gu Yu Cheng.

“Regarding the matter between Yu Cheng and me, I think Miss Su must have seen it on the internet before.” Bai Xin Yu stopped Su Rui and spoke.

She had lived to the age of 42 in her past life and had been through many hardships. Now, she is no longer the girl who used to be impetuous and ignorant.

Even when Bai Xin Yu face the existence of “Gu Yu Cheng’s girlfriend”, which she hated so much, she still managed to keep calm on the surface.

Since she couldn’t find Yu Cheng, being able to find Su Rui is not bad.

Without waiting for Su Rui to speak, Bai Xin Yu spoke again, “You are now Yu Cheng’s girlfriend after all. I’m really sorry for letting you see these things on the internet.”

Hearing Bai Xin Yu’s words, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth slightly twitched, and she plastered a smile on her face and looked at her.

Is this person watching too many melodramatic[3] dramas and believing that they are real? Or is she taking Gu Company’s entrance like a stage and treating her as a brainless audience?

If such an understanding and extraordinarily truthful, virtuous and beautiful words appeared in the drama, Su Rui could just comment that the character’s rank is pretty high.

The problem is that in reality, who talks like that? Goddess white lotus flower? She is probably a brain-dead, right?

Besides, aren’t celebrities busy?

“The online matter has been resolved.” Su Rui said concisely and comprehensively. She did not really want to talk to this person.

Who knows if she has arranged for paparazzi around here to snap a photo?

And then on the internet, she would interpret from segments of the photo and make some kind of extremely hot topic like #Chairman Gu’s ex-girlfriend, Siria, and current girlfriend have a catfight on the ground floor of Gu Company.

She doesn’t want to become a melon[4] for no reason.

“That’s right, but I think I should talk to you, Miss Su, about the matter with me and Yu Cheng. Would you be free now?” Noticing that Su Rui was about to leave, Bai Xin Yu asked again, with a tinge of urgency in her tone.

“I’m sorry. I’m meeting a friend.” Su Rui said towards Bai Xin Yu with the attitude of refusing politely people who distribute small flyers and those promoting salons and facials on the street.

When Bai Xin Yu heard that, there was a small crack on the expression on Bai Xin Yu’s face. She obviously did not have imagined that Su Rui would reject her so straightforwardly.

Even if Su Rui trusted Gu Yu Cheng, shouldn’t she be very curious about what she was about to say after meeting her?

“But…”

Bai Xin Yu still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Su Rui.

“My friend is here. Sorry.” After spotting the flashy orange sports car that drove towards this side, Su Rui’s eyes lit up, said that to her and quickly ran over and got into Tang Xiao’s car.
