Chapter 53: The Past, Taking the Blame
After Gu Qingjiu left the infirmary, she even forgot that she wanted to go see Yu Bao’er. She had soullessly returned to the dormitory room.
She always thought that she could forget what had happened before in peace and make it her past. She never thought that all of her painful memories would be lured out simply because she saw someone similar.
Even if she knew that they weren’t the same person, to begin with.
Su Lingche.
This name.
Every time Gu Qingjiu remembered it, her heart would always clench painfully.
At that time, Gu Qingjiu, who had just returned to the Yu family, had been called a ‘jinx’ that cursed her fiancé to death.
No one in the entire North City’s elite circle was willing to approach Gu Qingjiu.
She was always filled with fear and panic back then. It even got to the point where she felt despair and fear with those around her.
Everyone in the Yu family seemed guarded against her, and they even looked down on her. But then again, she was scared of them, too.
It was at that time that Su Lingche appeared.
Because the Yu family needed her to at least have some achievements, they forced her to learn once more. While she self-studied, she had to attend a lot of lessons about the elite circle’s rules and manners, as well as the enrichment classes that most young ladies would know.
Su Lingche was her piano teacher.
It was the same as many cliché stories. Su Lingche was young, handsome, smart, and gentle.
Gu Qingjiu, who was naïve and had entered such a situation seemed to have caught the final straw that could save her. She slowly fell in love with this man who she thought was like an angel.
When Su Lingche reciprocated her feelings, they broke the final barrier between them and got into a relationship.
However, the Yu family naturally objected to their relationship back then.
Su Lingche was only a normal piano teacher and had no family background to be proud of. Even if she was the Second Miss that they could abandon anytime, it seemed as though she was still untouchable to Su Lingche.
However, they couldn’t stop Yu Shiwei from liking Su Lingche.
When Gu Qingjiu liked Su Lingche, they despised Su Lingche’s background and even said that Gu Qingjiu had no rights to choose love.
However, when it was Yu Shiwei who started liking Su Lingche, the Yu family members instantly changed their views and started giving Su Lingche opportunities. He was smart, so he quickly found a footing in the Yu family’s company. He then successfully got married to Yu Shiwei.
All of this was on the pretense that Su Lingche had already given up on Gu Qingjiu.
At that time, Yu Shiwei felt that Gu Qingjiu was the only barrier between Su Lingche and her. So, as spiteful and arrogant as she was, Yu Shiwei drove and hit a student, causing the student to be permanently paralyzed.
Yu Shiwei was drunk-driving as well.
That incident was an important one that it even had its own headline.
The Yu family had no way of suppressing the news down even if they wanted it to. However, as Yu Shiwei’s information was barely known, in their panic, the Yu family pushed Gu Qingjiu out to take the blame. She couldn’t even hesitate to do so.
Gu Qingjiu knew nothing back then. It was only later when she realized that the Yu family had framed her. They worked in connivance with the police who had pressed charges against her.
She didn’t even have any chance to object. Then, what happened in jail happened.
Yu Shiwei continued to live happily and even got married to Su Lingche.
The one thing that made Gu Qingjiu disappointed the most was probably Su Lingche believing Yu Shiwei’s words without any hesitance. He believed the lies that it was Gu Qingjiu who had run over that person.
In retrospect, the reason there wasn’t any hesitance was probably that Su Lingche and Yu Shiwei already had something between them.
With his intelligence, how could he not know who the driver was between Yu Shiwei and her?
Gu Qingjiu didn’t even know how to drive.
