Chapter 16 Photos
The Gu family is in City H, almost covering the sky with one hand.After several generations of Patriarch's efforts, he is now in full swing, and has the ability to say what he says in this city.

Gu Zhai, which has been infiltrated by the rich and powerful for half a century, is different from other nouveau riche homes.Everywhere is simple and full of sense of history.Especially...Gu Jue's study.

Rich Renaissance style decoration, tall carved mahogany bookshelves are mounted on the four walls, and the dark brown log desk has been used by generations of owners, showing the luster given by the years.And... the tall bookshelves embedded in the five-meter-high walls on all sides are densely packed with books!An Yinan looked up for a week, supported his sore neck, and babbled in amazement.

Gu Jue's study is too exaggerated.There is even a ladder of the same color next to it, which looks like it is specially used to take books from high places.The decorations on the bookshelves are almost all famous antiques.An Yinan came back to her senses, stretched out her ivory-white hand to gently linger on the row of books closest to her.

The ones closest to the desk are foreign language books such as economics.An Yinan picked out a book he liked, and let himself sink into the soft leather sofa in a casual posture.The long-lost sense of relaxation made her take a long breath.

It was as if she had returned to the days of the carefree young lady in her home.

If I could go back to that time, without Gu Jue's shackles, without all these troubles, I would still be the obedient and well-behaved young lady of the An family.How nice it would be.

An Yinan smiled wryly and shook her head.

It's better not to have such absurd idea again.

The weather in early autumn was very comfortable, An Yinan had been curled up on the sofa for almost a day, and a servant brought her a light meal in the middle.

The sky is now slightly red, and the room is gradually getting darker.

An Yinan noticed the movement outside, when the room was completely covered by darkness.

It was almost dark, so An Yinan moved his body.Only then did I realize that my whole body was sore, maybe it was because I had maintained one position for too long.She put down the book, raised her tender arms above her head, turned around, and stretched herself.

The retro brass clock on the table has already pointed to 7 o'clock, reminding An Yinan that Gu Jue should be back soon at this time.An Yinan was a little surprised, did Gu Jue not come home at this time?

It's really strange, with the usual number of points, he should be almost home.Is it too much work today?

She got up and closed the book, walked to the bookshelf, tried to push the book back on tiptoe.

It may be because the bookshelf is too high, An Yinan's center of gravity is unstable——

All the thick books around the "crash" fell to the ground.Some hit An Yinan's head!

An Yinan didn't have time to dodge, and survived the blow.Her fear of pain caused her eyes to turn red instinctively, and even the Gu family's books hated her!

She touched her head in pain, gritted her teeth and held back the tears and picked up a few thick books.Stuffed angrily into the bookshelf.

The books are heavy and thick, where An Yinan needs to stand on tiptoe to reach them.She put it down with difficulty, and one of the pages was torn apart by too much force, and a piece of paper floated out.

An Yinan bent down to pick it up, took a look, and could tell it was a photo from the back.

The material of the photo is not old, but the edges are a little worn, probably because the owner of the photo often flips through it.An Yinan curiously wanted to turn the front to see——

"What are you doing!" A voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, and there was some anger.

Before An Yinan could turn around, he felt a pain in his arm!Then he was forcibly pulled by a strong force, and the whole person hit the bookshelf!

The unbearable bookshelf reacted immediately, and several heavy books fell towards the two of them.

Gu Jue didn't intend to dodge, and caused An Yinan to be smashed several times.Her eye sockets were filled with water again in pain, and she had no choice but to shout:
"Gu Jue, what are you doing!"

An Yinan only felt that the force holding her arm was getting heavier and heavier. When she raised her head, she realized that Gu Jue's face was already approaching her. His dark pupils were full of anger, looking terrifying like a Rakshasa.

"Take out the photo in your hand!"

Gu Jue gritted his teeth and growled, is this woman too smug?He was actually holding Xixi's photo!
That was the only photo Xixi left for herself!
Ever since Xixi disappeared, the only thought I had of her was this photo!

Is this woman audacious to this extent!

Only then did An Yinan remember that after being restrained by him, she instinctively put the other hand behind her back.It looked like he was hiding it on purpose.

No wonder he lost his temper.An Yinan just felt that he was almost breathless being stared at by that sinister gaze.This is a photo, is it important to Gu Jue?

Fear and panic occupied all of An Yinan's thoughts, so that he forgot to react to Gu Jue's words.Seeing this, Gu Jue became even more annoyed, and rudely pulled out An Yinan's hand behind him, and snatched the photo!
An Yinan's brain didn't know how to react at all, and she instinctively grasped her hand——

"hiss--"

The photo was unbearable to Gu Jue's strength, and it was split into two parts!
Gu Jue looked at the incomplete photo in his hand, and suddenly let go of An Yinan's arm.Take a step back in disbelief.An Yinan only felt a loosening of his arms, and he seemed to wake up,
She looked at the half photo in Gu Jue's hand. It was a woman. The remaining part of the photo showed a beautiful woman with peach blossom-like eyes and a plump nose...how close was she to herself? very similar!
An Yinan looked at Gu Jue dully.In the man's stern eyes, a trace of sadness and loss of control unexpectedly flashed!

"I, I didn't do it on purpose!"

Before An Yinan could finish her sentence, the man's slender fingers had already grasped her slender and delicate neck!

"Who gave you the guts!" Gu Jue's eyes were slightly reddened, and his jet-black pupils were staring at An Yinan like a man-eating demon. Beads of sweat condensed on his forehead, and the strength in his hands became more and more insignificant. .

She, how dare she!She tore up Xixi's photo!
Gu Jue's mind was in chaos, the violence almost eroded his sanity, and the lost feeling reappeared...

The fear of suffocation returned to An Yinan's body at this time, the man's hands were so cold, as if he was trying to pull her into an endless ice cellar, and kept falling...

A tear fell from the woman's clear face, her weak hand tried to hold down the man's iron arm, but it didn't work, endless panic spread in her body.

If you can die, will you be able to get rid of it?

At this moment, An Yinan's complexion was already a little purple, and her mouth kept trying to breathe, but the man's devilish breath was lingering around her tightly, she slowly closed her eyes, and gave up struggling.

Tears were still hanging on the woman's slender eyelashes, her brows were frowned in pain, her flawless white face was extremely poignant and beautiful.

Gu Jue was taken aback by the face that was so similar to the person in his memory, and finally let go of his hands.

This face, resolute, actually jumped into his heart.

After getting fresh air, An Yinan couldn't help coughing violently, every time he coughed, it was painful.It took a long time before she recovered.As if all the strength in her body had been drained, she slowly fell down and sat down in front of the bookshelf.

Why did God want her to suffer such pain?An Yinan, who survived the catastrophe,'s heart sank, bit his lips tightly and tried hard not to let the tears fall.

"You'd better hear me clearly." Gu Jue tightly held the half of the photo in his hand.The person in his memory seemed to reappear in front of him smiling like a flower.

This woman is simply unforgivable!
Gu Jue calmed down slightly.His eyes became cold again.

"You are not allowed to step out of your own room in the future!" Gu Jue's voice returned to his arrogance and violence, he walked up to An Yinan with long legs and squatted down, pinching her chin with his slender fingers, and said in a cold voice:
"Remember your own identity! You don't want anything to happen to your father and Mrs. An. You'd better be obedient to me,"

Humiliation grew wildly in An Yinan's body like a vine.With tears in her eyes, she nodded very slowly.

Gu Jue shook off An Yinan's chin and snorted coldly.

"Get out of here now."

An Yinan stood up very slowly holding the bookshelf, every movement was painful.It was as uncomfortable as if this body no longer belonged to her,
She gritted her teeth and walked, her snow-white neck was already covered with bruises.The place where the head was bumped was already bruising quickly.The whole person was in a panic.

As soon as he left the door of the study, there was a loud noise behind him.Gu Jue closed the door roughly.

All that was left to An Yinan was the darkness in the corridor.

She walked with difficulty, her eyes were already dry, as if she could no longer shed tears.The pain in her body was a constant reminder of her humiliation.

How long will this day last?
Would it be possible to get rid of Gu Jue and get rid of all this by dying now?
A teardrop pattered down on An Yinan's feet.But, but what about Dad, Dad is still in the hospital.She can't just give up like this.

God, please let me go.An Yinan smiled wryly for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground.

Gu Jue was in the study at this time, trying hard to glue the two photos together.

This is his last chance to see Xixi.

Sweat dripped onto his temples, and Gu Jue only focused on repairing it, completely no longer his usual arrogance.

At this time, the study door suddenly rang twice.

Seeing no response from the people inside, the butler knocked on the door again.

"Get out!" came Gu Jue's almost roaring voice.

The butler paused for a moment, then opened the door with concern, and whispered:
"Ma'am, she fainted in the corridor."

Gu Jue looked up at him almost immediately, and after being startled by his actions, he said coldly:
"Then call Dr. Xu over, do you still need to bother me with this kind of thing?"

"Yes." The butler stepped back and walked out of the room.

Gu Jue, who was holding the incomplete photo in front of the desk, was so distraught at this moment that he didn't even notice that the glue was poured on the table.

Damn woman, you'd better not think of anything happening, otherwise.

Gu Jue couldn't think of anything anymore in his disturbed mood, so he just hammered the table heavily.

An Yinan!
