Chapter 249: Seeking Reconciliation with Murong Chuan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yin never expected Xian Yu to be so merciless when he spoke to her.
The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere at the dining table had also disappeared.
Other than Gu Yin, there were only four people at the table. Xian Yu’s words were sarcastic, and Murong Chen and Murong Qiao were too lazy to speak up for her. Most importantly, Murong Chuan didn’t say anything and even looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
“… I’ll leave then!” Gu Yin bit her lip and got up, leaving angrily.
She was so angry that she felt dizzy. With a cold face, she grabbed her coat and was about to leave. She didn’t notice at all that it was impolite of her to leave halfway through her meal.
Xian Yu didn’t think he said anything wrong. “It’s good that she’s gone. If she’s gone, I’ll have an appetite.”
His words fell right into Gu Yin’s ears, who was standing at the door. The volume of his voice was just enough for her to hear him clearly.
“…” Gu Yin did not say anything. She just pushed open the door and left.
However, from her hurried footsteps, it was obvious that she was furious.
So be it! Who cared!
Gu Yin walked out of the Murong family residence angrily, but she was dumbfounded when she saw the main road in front of her.
If she remembered correctly, it was Murong Chuan who drove her here, and it took more than ten minutes to drive. How was she going to go back without a car?
The entire area around them belonged to the Murong family. They were the only villa in the area. It was difficult for Gu Yin to find anyone to ask for help.
“This godforsaken place! Why can’t even a taxi come over?” Gu Yin was even angrier when she saw that the taxi app couldn’t help.
She kicked a tree by the roadside hatefully, but the snow that fell from the tree soaked her. The wet feeling made Gu Yin feel especially uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and had no choice but to accept the truth in despair.
Now, she could only rely on her own feet to walk for more than ten kilometers home.
Gu Yin held her anger in as she had walked out on her own. She could not go back and ask for help now. Therefore, she forced herself to walk the long journey home.
However, during the next few days of class at Hui University, Gu Yin’s limp attracted many people’s attention.
“Teacher Gu,” a male teacher greeted her. “Are you going to the canteen to eat again today?”
Gu Yin felt embarrassed by his words, but she still nodded reluctantly.
“I like to appreciate the canteen’s food occasionally.” She pretended to be calm and her tone was casual.
But in fact, that was not the case. A few days ago, she had just compensated the Murong Family with 500,000 yuan. Gu Yin could not afford to eat outside at all now. She could only use her teacher’s card to eat free food in the canteen every day.
It was not that the food in the canteen was bad, but that she had gotten used to eating better. In addition, when she was with Murong Chuan, they had tasted a lot of delicacies. The feeling of downgrading was unbearable.
The male teacher nodded in understanding. “Then are you still going to the gathering this weekend?”
Gu Yin shook her head. She could barely afford to eat now, so how could she care about the gathering?
“I can’t. I’m currently on a diet.” She declined politely.
Although she had personally rejected the party, Gu Yin still felt upset. If it was in the past, she would definitely be the first to attend such a party. Now that she was not going, she did not know what the gossipy female teachers would say about her.
Gu Yin went to the canteen and naturally swiped her card to get food. However, she kept feeling that the students around her were looking at her, making her feel extremely embarrassed.
She could not help but think of Murong Chuan again. She thought of when the two of them were still together a few days ago. Although she could not tell how sweet their relationship was, at the very least, their food options were much better than her current ones.
At the thought of this, the food in her mouth lost its taste and Gu Yin immediately wanted to find Murong Chuan to repair this relationship.
She left without a word. She dumped the food in the trash can, got up, and headed for Murong Chuan’s office.
Knock knock knock.
“Come in.” It was still a familiar voice.
Gu Yin pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Murong Chuan sitting in front of his desk as usual.
She lightened her footsteps and slowly approached him. “All Chuan? Are you busy?”
Gu Yin’s gentle and restrained voice brought Murong Chuan’s wandering thoughts back. He moved his gaze away from the computer screen and looked at Gu Yin, who was standing beside him, with a frown.
“Teacher Gu, why are you looking for me?” Murong Chuan asked.
Gu Yin noticed the coldness in his words. She stopped talking and felt that Murong Chuan had changed a lot.
Hadn’t they been fine a while ago? Even though her actions at the Murong Family that day were a little rude, Gu Yin didn’t think that their relationship would break because of this.
“I want to apologize for what happened two days ago.” Gu Yin gritted her teeth and took the initiative to mention it.
She knew that she had gone overboard the last time she went to the Murong family, but she had been back for a few days and yet, Murong Chuan had not taken the initiative to look for her. Gu Yin thus could not sit still anymore.
Murong Chuan didn’t think there was a need to continue listening to her. He nodded and turned his attention back to the computer.
“It was my fault that day, I shouldn’t have…” Gu Yin pretended to reflect.
She tried her best to put all the blame on herself, but when she saw Murong Chuan’s unresponsive face, she suddenly felt a sense of defeat.
Murong Chuan finished his work in an orderly manner, then turned to look at Gu Yin. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to get ready to eat.”
His cold attitude seemed to treat Gu Yin as someone else, as if their relationship had returned to the stage where they weren’t familiar with each other.
In fact, Murong Chuan did not like Gu Yin much. He just felt that she was pleasing to the eye and not very annoying. He thought that she was suitable for marriage, so he planned to bring her home for his family to see.
“All Chuan, are you not going to forgive me… I was really too angry that day…” Gu Yin’s eyes instantly turned red and she felt extremely aggrieved.
Murong Chuan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
Seeing that he was affected by her, Gu Yin thought that there was a turn of events. She immediately took a step forward and wanted to salvage the situation, but right on the heels of that, she heard Murong Chuan’s merciless words.
“Our relationship ended the day you left my house.” He went straight to the point.
Murong Chuan treated Gu Yin no differently from the others. However, seeing that she still wanted to pester him, he could only clarify their relationship with one sentence before leaving the room.
Gu Yin stood on the spot helplessly with her mouth open, but when she saw Murong Chuan’s back disappear behind the door, she did not say anything.
She thought about what Murong Chuan had just said in confusion, and her heart turned cold. Gu Yin did not understand why Murong Chuan’s attitude towards her was so different.
Murong Chuan clearly had the same serious expression when they were interacting previously and did not like to smile much, but the feeling today was different. Gu Yin could keenly sense that he was really not interested in her anymore. It was as if he could not even be bothered to look at her for a few seconds.
“Weirdo.” Gu Yin stomped her feet and walked out angrily.
However, even though she had been given the cold shoulder this time, her desire to get back together with Murong Chuan only grew stronger.
Needless to say, the Murong family was extremely powerful. His family was rich enough that she did not have to work hard for the rest of her life. Moreover, Murong Chuan himself was a rare talent..
