Chapter 608: You Know Very Well If It’s Really Because of Ah Si
She’d thought that even if the world turned its back on her, Gong Zeli would never do so.
He was Gong Zeli.
The man that promised to treat her well forever.
How could he?
She wouldn’t be able to bear it if even he left her.
Now… she only had him left.
“Calm down, Rourou. Yes, I promised to help you, but that is a separate matter. Also, stop speculating. She’s Ah Si’s woman. I don’t have any interest in her.
“I was there when it happened, so I helped to clarify the situation. Don’t overthink this.”
This explanation was not what Shen Rou wanted.
She sneered. “Did Ah Si ask you to help?”
“No,” Gong Zeli replied quickly. “Ah Si did not contact me.”
“How dare you say that you are not in love with her!” Shen Rou said sharply. “If you don’t like her, why did you help her? You were never a busybody. Gong Zeli, did you not consider my feelings when you did this?”
“Rou Rou…”
“You knew very well that I would be angry. Is Qiao Mianmian more important to you than me? Gong Zeli, since when did you not dare to admit that you like someone? Are you afraid that Ah Si will cut ties with you if he finds out?”
“Don’t be unreasonable, Shen Rou,” Gong Zeli said seriously. “She’s Ah Si’s wife. If her name is tarnished, do you think it will do any good to Ah Si?”
“So, are you saying that you helped only because of Ah Si?” Shen Rou sneered. “Don’t you think this is a terrible excuse? Their marriage is a secret. Who even knows they are married?”
“Sooner or later, they will know. Besides, Ah Si did not intend for their marriage to be a secret. I don’t know why they don’t want to disclose their marriage.”
“Gong Zeli, do you think I believe you?” Shen Rou’s voice was getting colder. “You know very well if it’s really because of Ah Si. You can take back what you said to me now if you regret it. I don’t want to force you.”
Gong Zeli was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I have nothing else to explain. There’s nothing more I can say if you don’t believe me. I will fulfill whatever I promised you.
“Rourou, let me ask you something. Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Gong Zeli, what do you mean? Have you regretted it?”
“I haven’t.” Gong Zeli explained calmly, “I’m afraid you will regret it. Knowing Ah Si’s personality, if he finds out….”
“We just have to keep him from finding out,” Shen Rou said without hesitation. “Ze Li, Qiao Mianmian forced me to do this. I have loved Ah Si for over 20 years. I can do anything for him, and no one can love him as much as I do.
“She hasn’t known Ah Si for long. How dare she steal away the man I loved for so many years?
“No matter what, I will not let her have Ah Si.”
“Rourou.” Gong Zeli smiled bitterly after hearing this. “You said you have loved Ah Si for over 20 years and only have eyes for him, right? It doesn’t matter how well others treat you… am I right?”
