Su Mo was' invited 'out of the office in the end, and she left as well. In such a large office, only she and Jiang Jun were left.
She stood at the elevator door, her eyes unfocused, unable to see him clearly from behind the desk. She could only feel a layer of shadow enveloping his body, which was covered by the light.
Now, she had a chance to be honest. Before he interrogated her, it might be a ray of hope, or it might cause her to fall into the abyss, or it might cause her to be covered in injuries??
But she had no choice.
When she walked toward Jiang Jun, her mind was a sea of blank.
How to explain it to him? How could she make him believe her?
Looking at him who was looking at Su Mo's phone, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "I'm sorry."
In the past, whenever she said the word "sorry, " Jiang Jun would definitely say that they were husband and wife, so there was no need to say these things.
She held her breath, trying not to disturb him.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Jun finally put down Su Mo's phone. She had already made that call just now, and when she raised his head to look at her, he had a coldness that she had never felt before.
Her heart could no longer bear his gaze and a suffocating pain came from her.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend before you met me." When Jiang Jun spoke in this way, her tone was light and indifferent, as though she did not have any emotions.
However, she knew that things were not as optimistic.
From the moment she had said "I'm sorry" and he had not responded, she had known that she was already standing on the edge of the abyss.
"Everyone has a past, doesn't they?" Gu Qingyou said in a flat voice. She didn't want to explain. After all, it was true.
"Of course." Jiang Jun leaned her body against the back of the chair and stared at her with her deep black eyes.
Gu Qingyou could feel that his gaze was sizing up her, as if she was a stranger.
"Would you blame me for not telling you this?" She seized the initiative and asked him in a weak tone.
Jiang Jun's shrewd black eyes were deep and reserved, filled with profound meaning as she said, "Qingyou, you've always been very smart."
Even though Jiang Jun had already seen through her scheming, she still forced a smile on her face: "Do you really care?"
No matter what, he knew that before him, she had never kissed another man. It was even her first time kissing him, but after seeing the picture of her sitting on Ji Yuchen's lap, he was afraid that he would not believe it now.
"I just wondered if you'd ever mentioned it to me before." The corner of Jiang Jun's mouth hooked up into a smile, making her think for a moment that they were still the same loving appearances they had when he left home in the morning.
Gu Qingyou maintained a light smile as she said, "I have indeed rarely mentioned the matters of the past. After all, those weren't good memories."
"Then tell me??" Pausing, Jiang Jun retracted the smile on her face and became serious, "Was it really for the money in the begi ing?"
Gu Qingyou was startled, and her train of thoughts quickly went through her mind.
Actually, the picture in Jiang Jun's hands was not that important. After all, regardless of whether she had talked about relationships before, her i ocence was given to him.
So the important thing was this recording. You have to understand, this recording directly destroyed her character.
However, in reality, she had her own plans for this recording.
She could tell him that what she had said to the mob had been a stopgap.
She was very worried that the underworld would find trouble with her mother during their transaction. Therefore, she purposely called the underworld on purpose, in order to let them feel at ease about the money, so that their mother would not be in danger.
Yes, this explanation was still reasonable, so Jiang Jun would not be able to overturn her previous character, even if he had doubts in her heart, they would still be together for the time being. She would try to verify it later, but even if he did, it would be very difficult, after all, Qu Liyuan was already dead, so no one could steal her true appearance from Qu Liyuan. As for the underworld, she did not need to worry, she only contacted them once, and they did not know who she was.
Therefore, as long as she tried her best to deny it, she could still forcefully preserve the image that she had in Jiang Jun's heart.
But she didn't want to do it...
These past few years, she had always been looking for an excuse to not be with Jiang Jun, but she couldn't leave him again and again. She felt that she was floating in a sea of bitterness, and that she was very, very tired.
Yes, the person Jiang Jun liked was a pure and kind woman, but she was not like this. She had always had her own schemes, and just like Jiang Jun said, she was very smart, just that Jiang Jun did not know it, and she still knew how to get his love by disguising herself.
But she was a little curious, why didn't Jiang Jun judge her correctly when she looked at the people who came to see her?
If he could identify her from the start and had nothing else to do with her, then she wouldn't have the chance to play the role of an i ocent person. She wouldn't miss his gentleness and love in the future.
She didn't want to continue pretending??
Regardless of whether the result of her confession was good or bad, at the very least, she had always been able to have a clear conscience about him.
"You were born to be a rich person, you didn't know that, as someone who lives at the bottom of poverty, you need to be rich if you want to live a good life."
Jiang Jun did not interrupt her and chose to listen, but her expression was still as cold as ever.
Gu Qingyou seemed to have sunk into a long time of reminiscence. She raised her head and smiled to herself, but her laughter was sorrowful. I never wanted to take Qu Liyuan as my mother because she squeezed me again and again, making me unable to complete my university studies. I had to do a few odd jobs every day, but I had to give her money because she was my mother, my only family in this world?? Then, Ye Shuo suddenly came to find me, and at that time, I was still working as an actor in the crew, earning a bit of money, and suddenly had the chance to get close to a rich person. My only thought was that I'm going to get rich, I must get a lot of money from this rich person, I'm going to completely get rid of Qu Liyuan, and I still have to use money to treat Aunt Shu's sickness, and I also want to live a good life in the future?? However, all of this has to do with the fact that this rich person has a good impression of me. Thus, from the start of the transaction with this rich person, I tried my best to show my i ocence and kindness."
Jiang Jun looked at her and lightly spoke, "You have done it very successfully, this rich person didn't even get along with you for half a month and he already gave you a million."
Gu Qingyou closed her eyes painfully, not daring to meet his black eyes. With difficulty, she started speaking, "This money is indeed easy to get, beyond my expectations??"
"So you're begi ing to feel that you can get more money from this rich man, as long as you continue to pretend to be pitiful??" Jiang Jun said as if nothing had happened, but her expression was as cold as ice.
"No, that's not the case??"
Gu Qingyou held both her hands together, and only now did she realize how cold her fingers were.
"It's not like that?" Jiang Jun leaned on the leather chair, her eyes half closed as she coldly looked at her.
"I admit that I was only trying to get more money from the rich in the first place, but I didn't expect this rich man to be so kind to me... He was so good, so different from me, but he didn't mind my status at all. He was always kind to me, kind to me, as if I were really his wife."Moreover, in this rich and powerful family, I feel a warmth that I've never felt before. My 'grandma' treats me so well??"
"All of this makes you miss and you don't want to lose all of this. You decide to continue disguising yourself and never let others know that you're being vain."
"I??" Gu Qingyou's voice trembled and shattered. Her reddened eyes were unable to meet his gaze.
