Mo Yan burst into laughter as she was extremely grieved and indignant.

"I also want to know who has asked me to come. Is it you, Gu Yichen? Is it your purpose to let me be ridiculed and insulted? Besides loving you, what have I done to make you hate me so much?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Yichen's eyes. He had never seen Mo Yan lose control of her emotions like that. When she saw him flirting with other women before, she could slap those women calmly and turn around.

He frowned and sneered, "The fact that you drove Yanran away is enough for me to hate you for the rest of my life."

Mo Yan's heart ached, her face pale, and her heart was shattered. She looked at the man whom she had loved for five years, tears blurring her vision, but she held them back. She took a deep breath and said softly, "What if I told you that I was the one who you had brought back from Wufeng Mountain?"

"Don't you feel disgusted with yourself in making up such a lie?"

Gu Yichen interrupted her with disdain and said, "I warn you to go back now, and if you don't go back, just behave yourself and don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, I'll divorce you even if I offend grandpa!"

Mo Yan looked at his resolute back and finally burst into tears.

Mo Yan felt as if she had suffered a mental masochism. She knew she would only be embarrassed to stay here, but she couldn't take any steps forward. His kindness towards that woman was like a sharp knife inserting into her heart, making her bleed and leaving her only a cold body.

Gu Yichen walked up to Pei Yanran as if nothing had happened, picked up his glass, and whispered to her.

Pei Yanran blushed and gave him a reproachful look. Her beautiful eyes were filled with affection for Gu Yichen.

Mo Yan clenched her fists tightly, with her fingernails digging into the flesh of her palm, trying to distract herself from the mental pain caused by a broken heart with the physical pain.

"Ma... Madam..."

Lu Yan obviously didn't expect to meet Mo Yan here. He was holding a mink coat and looked embarrassed.

Mo Yan turned around and looked at him with her deep eyes quietly without any emotion. She was neither sad nor happy. Lu Yan's face was burning, and his eyes were filled with guilt. Looking into her eyes, he could not even say sorry to her.

Mo Yan did not say a word to him and left. Lu Yan looked at her back and held the coat even more tightly. All these years, he knew better than anyone that Mo Yan was so affectionate to Gu Yichen. Many men would die for such a love while Gu Yichen just cast it aside like an old shoe. Lu Yan looked up at the woman in Gu Yichen's arms and sighed slightly, hoping that Boss Gu would not regret it when he realized that.

The mink coat was draped over Pei Yanran's shoulders. Gu Yichen carefully closed it for her and whispered, "I've already said it. You don't need to wear something so cool. You've just started the job and there will be many occasions like this in the future. Take your time to practice. Don't force yourself."

Pei Yanran lowered her eyes and said softly, "People have to learn to be strong. After all, no one will always stand by your side, right?"

Gu Yichen felt sorry for her and couldn't help but touch her cheek, saying, "There will always be someone by your side."

Pei Yanran frowned imperceptibly. The expression flashed by and soon she became gentle and polite again. She smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Go over there and join your friends. They've been calling you several times. You shouldn't stay with me all the time."

Gu Yichen looked at the young man waving at him, hesitated, and asked her, "Is it okay for you to be alone?"

She smiled, "Didn't you say that I would get used to it sooner or later? It's okay."

When Gu Yichen left, her smile gradually faded. Her eyes went straight across the crowd and focused on a lonely figure in the distance. She took two glasses of wine, curled her lips and walked over slowly.

While Mo Yan was still looking at the water, a pair of red high-heeled shoes was suddenly reflected on the surface of the pool. Above them were a pair of fair and slender legs. The breeze swept across the water, creating waves, and the figure became twisted.

"Do my shoes look good? Yichen picked the shoes for me. After all these years, he still remembers my size."

The gentle female voice, which was heard in her ears at this moment, was like that of a demon who was asking for her life, suffocating her.

Mo Yan slowly raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman in a splendid attire in front of her. Finally, she said with a different emotion in her eyes, "You're like a pheasant, showing off everywhere. Does he know it?"

Pei Yanran didn't expect Mo Yan to say something so unpleasant and was stunned for a moment, but soon there was a trace of anger on her face, and her eyes darkened. She sneered, "That's better than you, being a domestic chicken. Yichen said he didn't even want to touch you. It's not good to be a grass widow for three years, is it?"

Mo Yan's face turned pale, her hands clenched into fists beside her. She was humiliated inwardly, but stayed even calmer outwardly.

"Are you here to tell me this?"

"Of course not."

Pei Yanran smiled and put a glass of wine in front of Mo Yan. Mo Yan glanced at it but did not take it.

Pei Yanran didn't care. She put the glass aside and reached out to draw her coat closer, saying, "Actually, I want to thank you. If you hadn't provided me with such excellent conditions back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of Yichen now and know that he loves me so much."

She curled her lips and smiled arrogantly, "You haven't conquered this man in three years, Mo Yan. If I were you, I would have went back my parental home with my face covered. Besides your family background, what else could you do better than me?"

Mo Yan was not angry. Instead, she sneered, "Do you remember you brazenly fabricated the truth and then knelt down in front of me to beg for my forgiveness? I really thought you lost your head at the time, and because

of your going abroad, I felt guilty. Now it seems that it's all in your nature. There are so many women around Yichen. I have slapped all of them except you. Do you know why? "

Pei Yanran frowned and said nothing.

Mo Yan raised the corner of her lips and said in a disdainful tone, "Because those women want to save their faces, and you, you have no shame at all!"

It was a slap in the face. Pei Yanran's face darkened when she heard this. Her chest heaved violently. It took her a long time to suppress her anger. She lowered her head to Mo Yan's ear and whispered, "Do you know where I work now? Ruixing Corporation! When Lu Yan picked up your call today, I was in Yichen's office. You don't know how excited he was, which made my legs still weak now. He promised to bring me here for the family banquet long ago. Unable to see the fitness of things, you atually called him to ask about it. You were asking for insults yourself! How does it feel to be laughed at by everyone?"

The color on Mo Yan's face gradually faded away, and her mind went blank. Really... It was really him. He had given her all the embarrassing humiliation. It was only at this moment that she finally understood how true the hatred in Gu Yichen's mouth was.

She took a step back in a daze, and the boisterous voices around her seemed to have turned into voices of ridicule, laughing at her overconfidence and pretentiousness.

Pei Yanran took the opportunity and pulled her gently with affected manner. Mo Yan turned on her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Pei Yanran wanted to take the chance to fall onto the ground in the first place. However, they were too close to the pool and thus fell down only to find that she was going to fall into the pool. She didn't want to fall into the water in winter at all. In a panic, she reached out to grab Mo Yan's clothes. Mo Yan was completely caught off guard and was pulled into the water by her.
