Chapter 180 Past Events
Gu Jingran asked about this when he went upstairs.
He didn't hear what Gu Jingran and Qiao Ruoxing talked about.
The old lady and the second uncle went to the study to discuss things. Song Qingyun was talking about the birthday banquet, and Zhong Meilan was not to be outdone. Gu Jingyan was too lazy to listen, so he found an excuse to leave and came here.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Gu Jingran blocking Qiao Ruoxing, and he didn't know what he was saying. Qiao Ruoxing had a tense face and a very ugly expression.
It was the same last time at the company.
Qiao Ruoxing didn't even bother to hide her dislike for Gu Jingran.
"I didn't say anything, just a few jokes."
Qiao Ruoxing said a few words and didn't want to elaborate.
In fact, she really didn't know how to say this matter, because if she talked about it in detail, it would involve Gu Jingyang and Zhong Meilan.
When they got married, Gu Jingyan left her at the wedding. She was toasted by people one after another. Although she was rescued by Lu Zheng later, she still drank a lot.
When she went back, she was a little dizzy.
Gu Jingyang and the nanny at home sent her back to the room.
She was in her early twenties, but her husband left her with another woman on the wedding night. No matter how well she pretended, how could she bear such grievance?
She went back to the room without changing her clothes, and lay on the bed and wiped her tears.
Later, she was tired of crying and fell asleep in a daze.
In her dream, someone pressed on her and kept touching her. The force was so strong that she woke up in pain.
The room was dimly lit, and she drank a lot of wine, so her vision was not very clear, so she thought it was Gu Jingyan.
The grievances of the night suddenly came up, she hugged his shoulders, and complained to him in a low voice.
The man pinched her chin and panted, "I thought you only had a face, but you have a nice body. No wonder my brother wanted to marry you."
The strange voice instantly made Qiao Ruoxing's hair stand on end.
That man was not Gu Jingyan.
She was pale and struggled desperately.
Gu Jingran covered her mouth and squinted his eyes and said, "You are quite coquettish. You ran into my room on the wedding night. Why are you pretending to be a chaste woman now? Since my brother is not here, I, as his brother, should "entertain" my sister-in-law on his behalf."
He then bullied her again.
Qiao Ruoxing's face was pale. Seeing that Gu Jingran was about to tear off her clothes, she grabbed something in a panic and smashed it on Gu Jingran's head.
Gu Jingran felt pain, covered his head and cursed as he let go. She got a chance and stumbled out of the room, calling for help.
Zhong Meilan came over after hearing the sound. Seeing this situation, she immediately pulled her and Gu Jingran into the house for questioning.
Gu Jingran's head was broken and his hands were covered in blood. He insisted that it was Qiao Ruoxing who ran to his room. He thought it was the woman he brought back from the banquet. In addition, he had drunk alcohol and the room was dimly lit, so he didn't know it was Qiao Ruoxing.
Qiao Ruoxing's face was pale. She said that she drank too much and it was Gu Jingyan who helped her into the room. She didn't know it was Gu Jingran's room.
Gu Jingyan denied it flatly. She insisted that she did send Qiao Ruoxing to Gu Jingyan's room at that time. There was a nanny at home to testify. She also bit Qiao Ruoxing back, saying that she went to the wrong room and was afraid of being blamed, so she put the blame on her.
Qiao Ruoxing has a good alcohol tolerance. Although she did drink a lot on the wedding night, she was not completely drunk. She didn't know what she did.
After Gu Jingyang sent her back to the room, she never came out. It is impossible to say that she went to the wrong room again after coming out, unless Gu Jingyang sent her to Gu Jingran's room at the beginning.
The first time she came to the Gu family's old house after getting married, she didn't know where Gu Jingyan's room was, so naturally she followed Gu Jingyan's lead.
But no matter how she explained, Zhong Meilan thought that she drank too much and her memory was distorted.
Qiao Ruoxing was young and hot-tempered at that time, and she had to argue about right and wrong to prove her innocence, so she said she would go to the old lady and let her check the matter clearly.
Zhong Meilan's face changed when she heard it.
She said that this matter was ridiculous and embarrassing enough, and she still wanted to report it to the old lady. What would happen if the old lady knew it? It was a fact that she had an affair with Gu Jingran on her wedding night. No matter what the truth was, this matter was a great shame for Gu Jingyan, and it would be embarrassing for everyone if it got out of hand.
She was too young, and she retreated when Zhong Meilan brought up Gu Jingyan.
She was afraid that Gu Jingyan would miss her as much as these people did. She could not care about other people's eyes, but she could not care about Gu Jingyan.
Zhong Meilan used the excuse of "family scandal" to make her keep the matter to herself. As for Gu Jingran, he would not take the initiative to tell others about the matter of molesting his sister-in-law.
Later, when she thought about it again, she suddenly realized that Zhong Meilan did not want her to make a big deal, but she just wanted to protect Gu Jingyang.
As long as someone investigates this kind of thing, the real situation cannot be concealed at all.
Later, she did not think about telling Gu Jingyan about it, but with Gu Jingyan's feelings for Gu Jingyang, what can he do after he knows it?
Gu Jingyang is his sister, and he is so protective of her, at most he will punish himself with three cups of wine, or he will just do the same as Zhong Meilan, knowing the truth, and in order to protect Gu Jingyang, he will not hesitate to put all the blame on her.
No matter which situation it is, the result is no different.
The longer the time, the less she wants to mention this matter.
So when Gu Jingyan asked, she just brushed it off.
Gu Jingyan frowned.
He could clearly feel that Qiao Ruoxing was a little gloomy when she mentioned Gu Jingran, but she didn't want to tell him.
This perception made him feel a little unhappy.
He didn't like Qiao Ruoxing's unwillingness to tell him when she had something on her mind.
The old lady's room was very large, and this was the first time Qiao Ruoxing came in.
It should be said that the preferences of the grandparents and grandchildren were quite similar, and they also had a wall cabinet in the bedroom to store books.
Gu Jingyan searched in the cabinet and found the medicine the old lady mentioned, and then took Qiao Ruoxing to the sun room on the second floor.
While taking the medicine with a cotton swab, Qiao Ruoxing said, "Grandma really loves you. She will apply medicine to you even if you bump into something. You are much more spoiled than Gu Jingran. Hold your head up."
Gu Jingyan honestly raised his head and said lightly, "Aren't all old people like this? You have a stiff neck when you sleep. How many days has your great grandfather been giving you moxibustion?"
When Qiao Ruoxing mentioned her great grandfather, her eyes softened a little. "Grandpa just called and said he made chicken soup again and asked when we will be back."
Gu Jingyan's eyes twitched, "I will work overtime in a while."
Qiao Ruoxing sighed, "Then the great grandfather will be disappointed."
After applying the medicine, Qiao Ruoxing was about to screw the lid on when Gu Jingyan called her and pulled her arm over, "Come here."
"What for?"
Gu Jingyan pinched her elbow, "Doesn't it hurt?"
