Chapter 404: Chapter 403: Rumors Abound (3)
Zhou Yalin suddenly thought of the phone call from Cheng Ziyang yesterday. He called and directly asked her if she had seen Dong Xin Yan. She said no. He paused for a moment and then asked her if she could find out where Gu Ningyi was.
At that time, she didn’t think much of it, but now looking back, yesterday, Gu Ningyi was clearly with Dong Xin Yan, which is why Cheng Ziyang was looking for him.
And before, Gu Ningyi had always been good to her, but suddenly changed today.
It must be Dong Xin Yan, it must be her. Her happiness, her everything, has been ruined by her like this.
All along, she was unwilling to let her go, unwilling to let her go!

Zhou Yalin ultimately couldn’t bring up the engagement annulment face-to-face. After coming down from upstairs, she said she wasn’t feeling well and hurriedly left the Gu Residence. Then that night, Mrs. Zhou called to propose the annulment.
For a moment, Mrs. Gu was completely stunned. She held onto the phone and incredulously said, "Fenfen, do you know what you’re saying? Why annul the engagement for no reason?"
Mrs. Zhou was full of humiliation. Thinking of the reason her daughter had told her, she could hardly face her old friend anymore. "Xuerou, I’m sorry, it’s Yalin’s fault, she’s not worthy of Ning Yi. That shameless girl said Ning Yi had been too cold to her all along, so she dated another boyfriend while in the United States. Now, she insists on calling off the engagement. I’m truly sorry."
"How could this be?" Mrs. Gu said dazedly.
Just now, Zhou Yalin was fine, still shy and sweet when Ning Yi was mentioned. How could it change so suddenly...?
Was Ning Yi so cold to Zhou Yalin just now because of this reason?
This truly is...
Mrs. Gu thought of how she had always pampered Zhou Yalin, almost treating her like her own daughter, only for her to do such things under the guise of Ning Yi’s fiancée. She was immediately so angry she was trembling, unable to maintain her usual elegance. "Fenfen, what a good daughter you’ve raised!"
Mrs. Zhou dared not refute anything and could only continually apologize.
Zhou Yalin hid to the side, seeing her mother endure humiliation like this. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing, and the resentment in her heart grew rapidly like vines, entangling her entire heart.
Her hands clenched tightly, the sharp fingertips digging into her flesh.
Dong Xin Yan!
Zhou Yalin almost gritted her teeth as she viciously pronounced this name word by word, her eyes gradually becoming dark and sinister.
Time and again, I’ve let you go, yet you’ve made me lose my happiness, my future! I will not let you go anymore. The pain and humiliation I suffer today will certainly, certainly be repaid to you a hundredfold!
And Gu Ningyi, for disappointing me like this, you will regret it, you will surely regret it!

The news of Gu Ningyi and Zhou Yalin breaking off the engagement exploded across the entire circle overnight.
Everyone knew that for all these years, Gu Ningyi had only one woman by his side—Zhou Yalin. He wouldn’t even glance at other women, and even though there were detailed rumors about Dong Xin Yan before, she quickly disappeared from sight. He seemed like the new generation’s devoted good man.
Everyone was waiting for their joyous occasion, but unexpectedly... the bad news came before the good. The two actually called off their engagement. Moreover, it was Zhou Yalin who proposed it.
What on earth happened?
Immediately, the entire circle speculated about the reasons, with various opinions.
The only one who truly knew the truth was Yuan Shen, who couldn’t help but stand up for Gu Ningyi. "I say, Mr. Gu, do you have to be such a saint in love? Even after Dong Xin Yan treated you like that, you still think of her at every turn."
