Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Rumors Abound (4)
Gu Ningyi lifted his eyelids slightly, his voice was also indifferent, responding to the question with a question, "What did I do?"
Still pretending!
Yuan Shen sneered, "Be honest in front of a brother. With your vengeful personality, after Zhou Yalin did such a thing to you, you tolerated it and even let her voluntarily propose to break off the engagement, just to avoid arousing Auntie’s suspicion and tracing it back to Dong Xin Yan, to deal with her."
Gu Ningyi’s handsome face remained unchanged, he spoke indifferently still, "You’re overthinking it."
"I’m overthinking it?" Yuan Shen countered, his dark eyes looking at him, suddenly adding, "Dong Xin Yan is getting married next month."
Gu Ningyi’s hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and his originally calm eyes rippled like a small stone had been thrown in.
Yuan Shen curled his lips, mercilessly piercing his facade, "Is it still that I’m overthinking it? Yi, stop denying it, you clearly still care about her."
Care?
Yes, he cared.
No matter how many times he told himself to let go a thousand, ten thousand times, he still cared, cared immensely.
But what came from caring?
If he cared, would she be able to love him? Would she be able to stay by his side?
No.
What she wanted was never his concern, what she wanted was him to stay far away, completely away from her world.
Gu Ningyi smiled, but it was full of bitterness. He tipped his head back and drank the red wine in his glass in one go, then spoke hoarsely, "She and I... have nothing to do with each other anymore."
He said he would let her go, so... no matter how much pain, how unwilling, he would no longer disturb her.

Cheng Ziyang’s injuries weren’t that severe. After recuperating for a week, he was mostly recovered.
Due to the wedding preparations, they decided to wait until after the wedding ceremony to go on their honeymoon.
Mrs. Cheng had mentally prepared herself to not see her son for several months. Unexpectedly, her son returned after just a week, bringing good news with him.
Her son’s proposal was successful, and he was preparing to get married.
Ever since the Cheng Group went bankrupt and Cheng Ziyang was detained, Mrs. Cheng’s heart was heavy, shrouded in gloom, often sighing and feeling unhappy, which caused frequent illnesses.
Now hearing this good news, she immediately perked up, her entire body feeling lighter.
It’s said that when good things happen, one’s spirit soars. These days, Mrs. Cheng’s face hasn’t stopped smiling, even in her sleep she is smiling.
The Cheng Family, though well-off, was never one of those unattainable wealthy families. As long as one’s background was clean and they were kind, it was enough.
Dong Xin Yan was beautiful, polite, and sensible, so Mrs. Cheng always liked her. Moreover, when something happened to Ziyang, not only did she not despise him in the slightest, but she also busied herself for him in various ways. In Mrs. Cheng’s heart, she had already acknowledged this good girl long ago.
This time, with their marriage, she was extremely satisfied, even personally managing the wedding arrangements.
Although the Cheng Group went bankrupt, an old ship still has three thousand nails; they still had some family wealth. Even if it couldn’t be as luxurious as before, they would never wrong Dong Xin Yan.
She knew that the younger generation these days tends to enjoy their personal space after marriage and doesn’t like living with their parents. Though she was unwilling to be separated from her son, she still wanted to give him and his own space, so she planned to buy them a wedding house as a wedding gift.
Recently, a newly developed real estate was quite good. Mrs. Cheng went to look at it with her housekeeper, Sister in law Li, and coincidentally ran into a familiar face.
