  Qin Zhi’ai’s body shook in fear after she was yelled at by Gu Yusheng. Suddenly, she couldn’t make a sound.

  Gu Yusheng slowly turned his head around. He stared at Qin Zhi’ai’s necklace on with fiery eyes.

  He looked scary. There was a glint in his eyes. It seemed like he would come forward to destroy the necklace.

  Qin Zhi’ai was worried. She remembered what he usually did to her when he was mad. She raised her hand up instinctively to cover the jewelry on her neck.

  Her action seemed like a slap in the face to Gu Yusheng.

  Was she afraid he would break the necklace? He had only turned his head to take a look at it, but he hadn’t done anything. Why would she cover it like it was a such treasure?

  The scenes of her with that guy in the amusement park around S University flashed in his head like a movie.

  She had been close to that man and gave him warm smiles.

  He had shot so many balloons and won her so many stuffed animals, but none of them could exchange for one smile that she had given that man when he gave her the stuffed rabbit.

  He had spent so much money on those necklaces, but they could not get her attention. None of them were worth as much as the cheap necklace on her neck.

  Such a comparison enraged Gu Yusheng, crashed his rationality, and used up his patience and tolerance.

  Okay, he would destroy the necklace, since she thought he would destroy it anyway.

  He stared at the necklace she had covered with her hand and slowly walked towards her.

  He could clearly see the fear and caution in her eyes. As he walked right in front of her, she panicked and stepped back. Her reaction made him angrier. He lifted his arm and grabbed her shoulder, hard, forcefully pulling her in front of him. He pulled her hand off of her neck roughly and pulled the necklace to break it. He tossed it away without even blinking.

  The necklace flew in the air and landed in a fountain near them, splashing the water in it.

  Everyone around them was scared by what Gu Yusheng had done, and they didn’t dare to make any noise.

  Even the housekeeper and Lu Bancheng, who were sitting not far from them, stood up.

  Everything seemed to freeze, and it became quiet for a while. Qin Zhi’ai looked up. Her eyes met Gu Yusheng’s.

  Her eyes were a little red. She looked angry and resentful, her eyes moist before Gu Yusheng could see her eyes clearly.

  She trembled badly, and her voice trembled, too. “I’ll say it one more time. I’m just a friend of his. It isn’t what you think.”


  She struggled and twisted her wrist of his grip quickly to turn around and run towards the fountain.

  The water was a little dirty in the fountain, green algae sitting at the bottom of it.

  She looked like she didn’t see how dirty the water was. She didn’t even take off her shoes before she jumped in. She bent over and started to feel around in the water.

  That was the only blessing and gift she had received for her birthday besides the birthday wishes she had stolen in Paris.

  This necklace wasn’t expensive. It was so cheap that it would be insignificant to Gu Yusheng. However, it had taken Qin Jiayan two months of saving his tutoring money to afford that necklace.
