Chapter 168 It's all a lie
Gu Qian'er stood at the door of the room, her haggard face already covered with tears.

"Qian'er!" Gu's mother walked up to her daughter, her face filled with worry and unease. "Is what that girl said true?"

“I don’t know…” Gu Qian’er shook her head, her eyes empty and lifeless. “I don’t know! I don’t know anything!”

She never imagined that Ah Chong would go to such lengths for money...

I never imagined that Yu Qiao didn't truly love me!
Recalling those sweet times, Gu Qian'er suddenly felt a pang of irony.

This is all so ridiculous!

"Qian'er, don't listen to her nonsense." A Chong rushed to Gu Qian'er and said softly, "I really love you, nothing else! I didn't do any of the things she said. She's just jealous of me and deliberately slandering me."

Gu Qian'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a glimmer of hope arose deep within her heart.

She moved her lips, hesitatingly asking, "Really? You didn't do these things?"

"No!" Ah Chong nodded vigorously. "If you don't believe me, I can swear to God!"

Gu Qian'er stared at him without saying a word for a long time.

Mr. Gu strode over and asked in a deep voice, "Qian'er, is the child in your belly really A-Chong's?"

He knew his daughter well; she was timid and might actually do something foolish.

If Ah Chong is truly such a cunning person, then he absolutely cannot stand by and watch his daughter fly into the fire like a moth.

“Of course she’s mine!” Ah Chong answered first. “Uncle, I truly love Qian’er and want to grow old with her. Please believe me.”

Father Gu's sharp gaze swept over Ah Chong, "Shut up, I want to hear what Qian'er has to say!"

"Qian'er, tell your mother the truth." Gu's mother held her daughter's cold hand, her eyes filled with heartache. "Did A-Chong threaten you into marrying him?"

"Auntie, what you're saying..." Ah Chong wanted to say something, but he was slapped hard by Gu's father.

"I told you to shut up!" Mr. Gu was furious.

"My dear in-law, how could you hit my son?" A-Chong's mother was heartbroken.

Mr. Gu ignored her completely and looked at his daughter with concern, "What exactly happened?"

Gu Qian'er frowned tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Jiang Yuan with red eyes and whispered, "I... I want to talk to you alone, is that alright?"

"No!" Ah Chong and his mother exclaimed in unison.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "If they say no, then it's okay."

Upon hearing this, A-Chong's mother immediately changed her mind and said, "Okay."

“If she says it’s okay, then it’s okay.” Jiang Yuan stepped out from behind Deng Rui.

Ah Chong's mother was so angry that she cursed loudly, "You brat, are you trying to mess with me?"

Deng Rui gave her a cold sidelong glance. "I find it strange that such a good girl would fall for your Ah Chong. So she was forced into it."

When Ah Chong saw Jiang Yuan walking over, he reached out to push her, but suddenly his knee hurt, he lost his balance, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Gu's father, who was kicking, and gave him a thumbs up, "Good skills."

After saying that, she and Gu Qian'er went into the room together.

Before closing time, Duanwu sneaked in and almost got her tail caught in the door.

"Phew~ That was close!" Duanwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yuan squatted down and rubbed its round head, amused, "Silly kitty, you didn't even warn me, I didn't know you were coming in."

Duanwu snuggled against her affectionately, "Hehe, meow, come help me, let Qian'er not marry A-Chong."

Seeing this, Gu Qian'er murmured, "Duanwu likes you very much." "What do you want to ask me?" Jiang Yuan opened her eyes and looked at her, a faint smile in her eyes.

Gu Qian'er pursed her lips, her heart filled with uncontrollable hesitation and struggle.

Jiang Yuan didn't urge her, and continued playing with Duanwu with her head down.

About five minutes later, Gu Qian'er's lips moved slightly, and she said softly, "I heard everything you just said. I want to ask you how you knew?"

“I just found out too.” Jiang Yuan picked up Duanwu and held it up in front of Gu Qian’er. “It told me.”

Gu Qian'er frowned in confusion: "Who told you that?"

“It is.” Jiang Yuan waved the Dragon Boat Festival in her hand.

Gu Qian'er's gaze fell on her pet cat, and she asked in surprise, "You mean... Dragon Boat Festival?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes, it doesn't want you to be threatened by A Chong."

Gu Qian'er looked incredulous. "What does Duanwu know? It's just a cat."

“Cats are very smart,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile, holding Duanwu in her arms. “Don’t underestimate them.”

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Qian'er's heavy heart suddenly felt a little lighter.

"Did you make up those words just now?" she asked tentatively.

"Do you think so?" Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but instead asked her, "Isn't it true that A-Chong used those photos to threaten you into marrying him?"

Gu Qian'er's eyelashes trembled, her face turned pale and ugly again, and she bit her lip hard.

Jiang Yuan stared directly at her with her bright eyes and slowly said, "Don't you want to believe that Yu Qiao approached you at A Chong's behest?"

Gu Qian'er seemed unable to meet her gaze, her eyes flickering, and she lowered her head slightly, "I..."

Jiang Yuan: "You don't want to believe that Yu Qiao's love for you is fake."

“You’re right,” Gu Qian’er said softly. “This is the first time I’ve ever liked someone. I’ve always felt that the love between Yu Qiao and me was pure…”

“I suggest you call Yu Qiao and ask him clearly so you can give up on him.” As an outsider, Jiang Yuan saw things very clearly. “Neither he nor A Chong is suitable for you.”

Gu Qian'er stared at her phone screen, but couldn't bring herself to dial the number. Her mind was filled with the sweet moments she shared with Yu Qiao.

When she was preparing her lessons diligently, he would stay by her side and feed her strawberries, each one a strawberry-shaped bottom.

She said she had been standing all day and her feet were very tired, so he would prepare a basin of hot water for her to soak her feet and massage them.

She was being stubborn and didn't want to get out of bed, and he was afraid she would be late, so he would smile and pick her up from the bed, then kiss her...

Gu Qian'er really didn't want to believe that all of this was a lie.

"I'm sorry, I still don't have the courage to call him..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Gu Qian'er suddenly looked up at Jiang Yuan, "It's...it's Yu Qiao calling..."

"That's perfect." Jiang Yuan stroked Duanwu's hair while gesturing for her to answer the phone. "Answer it, ask clearly, and then let yourself off the hook."

Gu Qian'er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button with trembling fingers, "Yu Qiao."

"Sister..." The boy's clear voice came through the receiver, "I want to tell you something."

Gu Qian'er gripped her phone tightly, tears welling in her eyes, her voice trembling with suppressed sobs, "What do you want to say?"
