The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 571 - Chapter 571 0561 are you awake

Chapter 571: 0561, are you awake? Chapter 571: 0561, are you awake? Seeing Su Ran wanting to leave, Gu Heng quickly chased after her, blocking her path.

Su Ran stopped in her tracks, her expression cold and indifferent.

“Xiao Ran.”

Gu Heng sensed Su Ran’s impatience, his voice growing darker.

“Let’s talk.”

Su Ran looked at him coldly, her face unruffled.

“We have nothing to discuss.”

Gu Heng pursed his lips, his brows a picture of wistfulness as he gazed at her with a complicated expression.

“Do you really hate me that much?”

Su Ran lifted her eyes, looking at him as if he were making no sense.

“Hate? Why should I hate you?”

Gu Heng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Hating someone also requires emotion; there is love before there can be hate.

Even now, he wasn’t sure how much Su Ran had ever felt for him.

“Then why don’t you want to attend mine and Xinyan’s wedding?”

Gu Heng’s black eyes were fixed intently on Su Ran as if he was determined to get an answer from her today.

Su Ran’s brilliant eyes casually met the man before her, then after a moment, she suddenly let out a light laugh.

The laughter was clear and pleasing but sounded utterly sarcastic to Gu Heng’s ears.

“Why must I attend your wedding? Could it be that not attending means I hate you?”

There was a depth to Gu Heng’s handsome face; it was clear he thought so.

Su Ran snorted lightly, looking at him with a half-smile, half-sneer.

“Gu Heng, I’m not about to waste too many emotions on you. If you still can’t let go, then let me make it clear to you today. That past engagement was merely an arrangement made by the elders of our two families. Just because I agreed didn’t mean I had any deep feelings for you. Back then, I simply thought marrying anyone would be the same.

Frankly, I don’t care whom you end up with. Even if you and Su Xinyan want to carry on together, that’s merely a case of the gentleman being willing, and the lady being pleased. But for you to provoke me time and again, crossing my bottom line, and still foolishly expect me to show you leniency? There’s no such good thing in this world.”

Gu Heng’s chest suddenly tightened, and his deep eyes contracted slightly.

He had contemplated many possibilities, but not this one.

Marrying just anyone would be the same?

So in her eyes, he was no different from those strangers out there, was he?

He didn’t believe it!

He suddenly gripped Su Ran’s wrist tightly, almost roaring out in anger.

“I don’t believe it; are you saying this because you hate me?”

Zhao Yiyi, standing behind a tree, although unable to completely hear their conversation, saw Gu Heng clutching Su Ran’s wrist, with a malicious flash in her eyes.

She quickly took out her phone and turned on the camera.

Su Ran’s dark eyes suddenly narrowed, forcefully shaking her hand free.

“Because I hate you? Gu Heng, don’t flatter yourself.”

Gu Heng’s eyes were cold, and just as he was about to speak, due to Su Ran’s gesture, he caught an inadvertent glimpse of a red mark showing on her delicate collarbone.

As a man, he naturally knew what that was.

His pupils dilated then contracted in disbelief as he looked at Su Ran.

The smugness that had just surged in his heart crumbled in an instant.

How could she?

How could she let another man touch her?

“What’s that on your neck?”

He stared blankly at Su Ran, his hoarse voice dropping even lower.

Su Ran subconsciously placed her hand on her neck, her thoughts flickering to the events of the previous night.

Gu Heng, catching the fleeting expression on her face, grew hysterical.

“What is that on your neck?”

As he spoke, he angrily reached out to grab Su Ran’s collar.

Su Ran’s eyes flashed coldly, and with a “slap,” she landed her hand sharply on the back of his hand.

It seemed that her anger was not yet satiated, as she delivered another backhand, the slapping sound echoing sharply as it made heavy contact with his face.

“Awake now?”

The cold voice was as though it came from purgatory on earth.

It successfully made Gu Heng forget all his actions.

Su Ran sneered, looking at him with chilly disdain.

“What are you, that you feel entitled to inquire about my affairs? Aren’t you marrying the one you’ve been longing for tomorrow? Why are you now putting on a disdainful, conflicted facade for all to see?”

Gu Heng’s face gradually turned pale.

Su Ran’s words, sharp as a lance, caused him a dull ache in the chest, his suffering and despair hard to conceal.

Su Ran gave him a cursory glance, her expression light.

“Gu Heng, don’t lose face for your Gu Family! Also, it’s best if you don’t appear before me in the future. Seeing you reminds me of that past engagement, and it truly disgusts me to the core…”

Su Ran didn’t want to talk to him anymore, walked past him, opened the car door, and got in the vehicle.

Soon after, the sound of the engine starting up filled the air, and the black car left the Su Family Villa.

Gu Heng stood in place, staring dazedly as the car got further and further away.

All that filled his mind was Su Ran’s voice: decisive, repulsed, resolute, and without a single trace of reluctance.

His hands slowly clenched into fists, and he shut his eyes tightly, feeling an increasingly suffocating void within his heart.

At this moment, he began to realize that he had lost something.

Zhao Yiyi stood behind a large tree, watching the video she had captured on her phone, a venomous cold glint in her eyes.

Su Ran, this time, I will make sure you pay the price!

She took a deep breath, concealing the maliciousness in her eyes.

As Gu Heng entered the Su Family residence, Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong welcomed him with great joy.

Throughout, he appeared distracted and disengaged.

The moment Zhao Yiyi entered, she went straight to Su Xinyan’s room to find her.

At that moment, Su Xinyan had just finished a phone call. She turned around and saw Zhao Yiyi standing at the door.

“Yiyi.”

Su Xinyan’s tone was filled with surprise, seemingly delighted to see Zhao Yiyi.

“Xinyan…”

Zhao Yiyi also responded with a smile to Su Xinyan.

Su Xinyan quickly put down her phone and hurried forward to pull Zhao Yiyi into the room.

“What brings you here at this time?”

Zhao Yiyi laughed wryly and teased,

“Coming at this time naturally means I have important business. My cousin is here too.”

Su Xinyan’s eyes brightened slightly, and she said joyfully,

“Brother Heng is here too? Then let’s go downstairs first!”

Talking, Su Xinyan made to head downstairs.

But at that moment, Zhao Yiyi grabbed her wrist, her voice filled with seriousness,

“Wait a second, Xinyan, I have something to tell you.”

Seeing this, Su Xinyan looked puzzled.

“What is it? What’s going on?”

Zhao Yiyi pulled her to the edge of the bed, took out her phone, and then spoke,

“I have something to show you.”

Su Xinyan was still puzzled, but Zhao Yiyi had already unlocked her phone.

The images of Su Ran and Gu Heng instantly appeared before her eyes. She paused, then snatched the phone from Zhao Yiyi’s hands.

Although the phone didn’t capture the content of their conversation, their every move was recorded crystal clear.

Su Xinyan watched the video with a darkened expression, and after a long while, she laughed bitterly and resignedly.

“Xinyan, are you alright?”

Zhao Yiyi looked at Su Xinyan with concern and asked.
