Chapter 248
Early morning.
The Director Jiang couple had waited in the dining room for a long time, but neither Jiang Jun nor Gu Qingyou came out. Mrs Jiang immediately asked, "Butler, have Jun Er and Qing You woken up yet?"
The butler laughed, "Madam, we are not in a hurry, they may still be sleeping!"
Hearing this, Mrs Jiang's face revealed a somewhat embarrassed smile, "... That's true. After they got married, they would only be able to be a bit calmer for the next two days. Thus, I'll let them sleep for a bit longer and not go and disturb them. "
"Yes."
"Then let's have breakfast!" Mrs Jiang looked at him gently.
The Director Jiang nodded.
At this time, Gu Qingyou walked into the dining hall. As usual, he respectfully called out, "Dad, Mom, good morning."
Mrs Jiang was about to pick up the tableware, but when she saw Gu Qingyou, he immediately put down the tableware in her hands and walked over to Gu Qingyou's side. "You're up?"
"Sorry, I was a bit late today so I had breakfast with you guys." Gu Qingyou said.
Mrs Jiang held Gu Qingyou's hand and walked towards the dining table. "It's alright, it's also rare for you to sleep late."
Gu Qingyou sat down beside Mrs Jiang, looking a little haggard.
Director Jiang noticed Gu Qingyou's expression and asked caringly, "Qingyou, did you sleep well last night?"
The moment Director Jiang asked this question, the Mrs Jiang gave him a grumbling look. "How could I not sleep well? I was just a bit late."
Only now did Director Jiang think of Mrs Jiang's intentions, and could not help but smile, and did not ask anymore about Gu Qingyou.
After Mrs Jiang instructed the butler to prepare breakfast for Gu Qingyou, she lovingly asked, "Jun Er, are you still awake?"
Gu Qingyou stared at the plain white butterfly orchid in the middle of the dining table, her pursed lips unmoving.
Mrs Jiang realized that something was wrong and frowned slightly. "Clear and quiet ??"
"Boss Jiang!"
The butler's respectful cry interrupted Mrs Jiang's speech. Soon after, Mrs Jiang saw Jiang Jun's deep gaze fall on Gu Qingyou, who was not looking straight at him.
From Jiang Jun's gaze, Director Jiang's couple and their butler instantly felt an ominous premonition.
Director Jiang broke the silence in the cafeteria. "Quickly sit down ?? "It's getting late. Eat your breakfast, you guys are going to the airport too."
Only then did Jiang Jun retract her gaze from Gu Qingyou and sat alone at the side of the dining table.
Mrs Jiang nudged him from under the table and said softly, "What happened? Wasn't it fine last night? "
Director Jiang gave Mrs Jiang a deep look, signalling him not to speak anymore, thus he nodded.
However, the atmosphere of the meal today was a little heavy, and it was very obvious that this originated from Gu Qingyou who did not even have a moment of interaction between him and Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun suddenly stopped eating and looked straight at Gu Qingyou with her deep eyes.
Of course, Gu Qingyou could feel Jiang Jun's gaze but she turned a blind eye and continued to eat her breakfast, as if she could not feel Jiang Jun's gaze at all.
Director Jiang held his wife's hand under the table, and then said to Jiang Jun and Gu Qingyou, "You guys eat slowly, we'll go and see if Mu Mu has woken up ??." Today was the weekend so Mu Mu didn't go to school.
Before Mrs Jiang could react, she was pulled away from the dining hall.
Outside the dining hall, the Director Jiang said sternly, "Didn't you see that Jun Er had something he wanted to say to Qing You alone?"
Mrs Jiang was stu
ed, "Really?"
The Director Jiang sighed, "Last night, the two of them must have been arguing. This morning, only one person in front and one person in back came to the dining hall."
"I know, but it shouldn't be anything big, right ??" "Then, the Mrs Jiang started to worry. It can't be that the beautiful matter hasn't been resolved, right? "
"I don't think it's about beauty." "I heard Ye Shuo mention that Yu Mei was staying at home to recuperate these past few days without making any movements. Furthermore, both Qing You and Jun Er have already reached a consensus on beautiful matters."
"Could it have been a quarrel about something?" The Mrs Jiang's loving face was now filled with sorrow.
Director Jiang looked at the two of them who were still not interacting with each other in the dining hall. He sighed lightly and then embraced Mrs Jiang's shoulders. Let's go, and we'll know why later. "
Gu Qingyou seemed to not be able to feel Jiang Jun's gaze at all. After finishing her breakfast, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Because of Gu Qingyou's indifference, Jiang Jun's face was solemn and her thin lips faintly parted, "I am unable to understand, what exactly do you want?"
In response to Jiang Jun's question, Gu Qingyou's body congealed in front of the restaurant's entrance.
Jiang Jun stood up from the dining table and stuffed both of his hands into his pockets, returning to her usual arrogance and conceit as she deeply focused her slender figure. I gave you a life free of food and clothing, and I tried my best to give you the love you wanted ?? What on earth is there that you aren't satisfied with? "
A trace of bitterness suddenly rose up in Gu Qingyou's throat, and she slowly closed her eyes.
She could not believe that he had asked her what she wanted and what she was not satisfied with.
He lied to her...
He had been deceiving her feelings. Didn't he feel ashamed and guilty at the same time?
Suddenly, Gu Qingyou no longer wanted to talk with Jiang Jun, she felt her chest throbbing in pain. If she continued to talk with him, she would suffer even more.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jun understood what Gu Qingyou was thinking. His tall and straight figure was already standing in front of her, like an ice-cold statue, preventing her from moving past him.
"Jingjing, I don't want to argue with you, and I don't think there is a need for us to argue about my past. But why are you so stubborn?" Jiang Jun frowned slightly in displeasure. Isn't it time for us to cherish the present and work together to create a better future? "
Gu Qingyou's nose was sour. She slowly raised her reddened eyes. You don't love me, so you can tell me right from the start, why did you lie to me? " "She did not use a reproachful tone, but instead spoke in her usual level tone.
Jiang Jun was confused by the question, the crease between her eyebrows became deeper, "Do you think that it is still important for us to continue entangling ourselves with the word 'love'?"
Gu Qingyou opened her eyes as the pain in her chest grew more intense. You shouldn't have lied to me. From the very begi
ing, you should have told me the truth. " she said haltingly.
Jiang Jun let out a long sigh, then gently held Gu Qingyou's thin shoulders and sincerely said, "From begi
ing to end, we were very happy together, and also have a common child. Why must we separate because of the word 'love'?"
Gu Qingyou laughed softly and closed her eyes. I really don't know how you did it... I don't love a person, but I can marry and have children with that person. "
"I don't need 'love' anymore. What I want is a wife." Jiang Junchen said. "If you are so determined to obtain 'love' from me and be with me again, then we will never be able to be together ??"
"Why?" Gu Qingyou muttered in a sorrowful voice. Because you will never be able to let go of Su Mo, right? "
Jiang Jun looked at her, "I don't have Su Mo in my mind right now, but I don't have the word 'love' either."
Gu Qingyou's voice trembled slightly, "So, you finally admit that the 'I love you' you mentioned to me was all your painstaking acting?"
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Jun was puzzled. I don't want to walk into the word 'love' anymore, do you understand? "
"I don't understand." Gu Qingyou shook her head in a daze. "Since you don't want to go any further, why are you still bothering me after three years?" She clearly knew that she had always desired someone that she loved and loved.
"I want to take care of you. I want to give you a life without worries. I want you to be happy ??" Jiang Jun looked deeply into her eyes that were as clear as a spring.
"I don't need your sympathy." Gu Qingyou forcefully pulled away from Jiang Jun's hands.
Jiang Jun was stu
ed for a few seconds, and then retracted her hands. This is not sympathy... In my heart, you are the closest person to me, Mu Mu and my parents. Even if you and I separate today, I will still take care of you. "
Gu Qingyou looked at him.
He was standing in front of her. He looked very close, but he was so far away.
Only at this moment did she realize that their hearts had never been closer to each other.
"I know it is my honor to be treated as a relative by you, but I do not need this honor." Adjusting her breathing, she said bitterly and firmly, "Even if you were kind, you should have asked me if I needed your 'help', instead of lying to me and told me that it was a white lie."
"Tell me, how did I answer you the other day when I was being hypnotized?" Jiang Junchen looked down and looked at her. Perhaps that was the answer I gave you after eliminating Su Mo, but those were all my true answers. I believe that the answer I gave you wasn't as simple as just treating you as a relative.
"Because of you 'forgetting' Su Mo, I became the most important person in your life ??" Gu Qingyou held his breath and continued. If I let you recover all of your memories of Su Mo and get him to ask the questions I asked you that day, you might have answered with words of love ?? And the answers to the questions you gave me, I won't say that it was perhaps your deception, but even if it is, it would only mean that I am someone you have always wanted to spend your life with, not your lover. "
There was a sudden silence between them.
"I don't know what to do now ??" Gu Qingyou took the initiative to break the silence. Right now, you have already 'forgotten' your love for Su Mo, but you aren't in love with me either. This means that it's not Su Mo that is standing between us, but rather that I can't possibly make you fall in love with me ?? "
"I've already said it before, it's not that you're not outstanding, or that you're unattractive to me, but that I can no longer date someone. Even if the person in front of me is even more outstanding and attractive than you, it's impossible for me to fall in love with this person ??"
Gu Qingyou interrupted Jiang Jun. That's because you love Su Mo, so even if an outstanding and attractive person were to appear in front of you, you still wouldn't fall in love ?? "
