The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 596 - Chapter 596 What is 0586 empathic

Chapter 596: What is 0586 empathic? Chapter 596: What is 0586 empathic? Gu Heng’s eyes were tinged with a deep bitterness and regret.

“No, Xiao Ran, I never wanted you to bear everything. I also intended to explain to everyone, but…”

“But you were stopped by your mother and Su Xinyan. You had no choice, you were forced, you were innocent. They told you that coming forward and acknowledging everything at this time would not only ruin your wedding with Su Xinyan, but it would also ruin the reputation of the Su Family and the Gu Family in Yong City. Therefore, I was the only one who could be made the scapegoat, the sacrifice for you and Su Xinyan, for the Su Family and the Gu Family.”

Gu Heng’s face gradually turned pale, unable to offer any rebuttal.

Because everything was exactly as Su Ran had predicated, without the slightest error.

“Since you know all this, you should understand the difficulty I’m in.”

Su Ran let out a cold laugh, then looked at him as if amused.

“Why should I understand? Why should I comprehend your difficulty?”

She said, looking at him with an icy gaze, full of chill.

“Gu Heng, compared to Su Xinyan, your actions are even more disgusting. Although you yourself think the same way, the good person is you, and the bad people are your mother and Su Xinyan. And now, here you are, apologizing and repenting in front of me, ha! Look into your heart, are you worthy?!”

Gu Heng’s face stiffened, his heart clenched tightly as though something had struck true, his complexion shifting between pale and ashen.

“Originally, your wedding could have been both spectacular and perfect, the envy of everyone in Yong City. Alas, your beloved wife and dear cousin just couldn’t control their impulse to pick on me.”

“And I, Su Ran, how could I be someone who would compromise in every situation? If you wanted me to sacrifice my own reputation for your sakes, you too must be prepared to shed a layer of skin!”

Gu Heng was taken aback by the sharpness in Su Ran’s eyes, finding the beautiful, frosty girl before him extremely foreign.

“Xiao Ran, you weren’t like this before. The you of the past, even though you seemed indifferent on the surface, you were still understanding at heart.”

At these words, Su Ran scoffed, her laugh dripping with mockery and piercing to the ear.

“Understanding at heart? What is that? To wrong myself? To make you happy? Have you no shame?”

“I don’t like being understanding; I prefer it when the wheel of fortune turns, and look, now it’s turned onto you all!”

“Gu Heng, remember my words, don’t ever show up before me again!”

After finishing her words, Su Ran lifted her foot to leave.

However, Gu Heng stepped forward, blocking her way.

“Xiao Ran, did you really come to attend my wedding with Xinyan without any other reason?”

Su Ran frowned, looking at Gu Heng who stood in her way, her voice cold:

“Move!”

Gu Heng remained still, unyielding, and continued speaking to himself:

“Answer me, Xiao Ran. Did you really come to attend my wedding with Xinyan without any other reason?”

Su Ran glared at him with a chilling look.

“What other reason do you want? That I’m deeply in love with you? Or that there’s leftover affection?”

“I don’t believe you have absolutely no feelings for me. Those things you said were all spoken in anger, right? Xiao Ran, tell me…”

Gu Heng’s handsome face was full of defiance, as if he was determined to go toe-to-toe with Su Ran and get a clear answer.

“Not only do I have no feelings for you, I have never loved you. As for attending your wedding with Su Xinyan… It’s simply because I didn’t want to let you two off easily. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Gu Heng’s complexion abruptly changed.

The response from Su Ran was something he had anticipated, yet at the same time, it was more than he had expected.

His expression was filled with despair and frustration, the bitterness and self-mockery on his face even more evident.

Su Ran caught the look on his face and tugged at her lips.

“Better go back, don’t let down the heart of the one you’ve been longing for, the true love you just managed to marry. She is, after all, the champion of this year’s World Designer Competition. Offending her now, and your Gu Family will surely regret it more than you can afford!”

Gu Heng’s expression changed subtly!

Seeing this, Su Ran gave him a look that was both mocking and not, without a moment’s hesitation, she turned and stepped through the gate.

Gu Heng watched Su Ran’s figure growing farther away with a sense of desolation and bitterness in his heart.

Such determination and decisiveness!

He knew her well, Xiao Ran’s character.

In matters such as this, she would not lie to him.

It turned out…

She had never truly loved him!

Everything had been his own wishful thinking!

Yet, it was he who had originally abandoned this engagement, and he who gave up first, didn’t even have the right to regret.

Now, what face did he have to seek her forgiveness?

It would never be possible again!

Xiao Ran had found her own happiness!

Gu Heng slowly clenched his fists and closed his eyes deeply.

In his mind, all he could see was the image of Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan kissing in the car.

Gone was the strong, cold aura that kept others at a distance. Before him was a tenderness and charm he had never seen before, submissive and beautiful.

This Xiao Ran, who was originally his, the person standing by her side should have been him!

But now, he had lost that opportunity!

Lost it completely!

Gu Heng stood at the base of Qianran International’s building, looking utterly distraught, and for a long time, he didn’t leave.

And this scene was just captured by a reporter who happened to be nearby, and once posted online, it immediately caused a public uproar.

[Damn, isn’t that Gu Heng? Why is he standing outside Qianran International?]

[Holy sh*t, the day after his wedding, he’s pestering his former fiancee? What, regretting it now? Going there specially to confess?]

[Pff, who needs his confession? A cheating scumbag, it’s not like all the men in the world are dead!]

[Seeing him looking so dejected, isn’t it so satisfying? But even so, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a scumbag!]

[What now? Wants to eat his words? Didn’t he love Su Xinyan to death before?]

[The nature of a scumbag: can’t let go of the new love, can’t forget the ex. A scumbag for sure!]

Gu Heng and Su Xinyan were already internet celebrities; the video’s release exploded across the entire web.

He hadn’t returned home all night, and Deng Jingru was anxiously pacing at home, then she saw the news online.

Enraged, she blamed Gu Heng for his disgrace and secretly hated Su Ran’s lingering presence. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Gu Heng’s number.

“Mom…”

The call connected quickly, but the voice was one of defeat and discouragement that Deng Jingru had never heard before.

She couldn’t help but berate angrily:

“Gu Heng, what are you doing at Qianran International? Do you know what you’re doing? You just married Xinyan yesterday, and today you went to find Su Ran, do you know what the internet is saying about you? By doing this, what position do you place the Su family in? What place do you put Xinyan in? Xinyan is still in the hospital now!”

Gu Heng closed his eyes wearily; Deng Jingru’s anxious and angry voice continued.

“You better leave there right now and go see Xinyan at the hospital, don’t forget she’s your wife now. Also, as the CEO of Chongguang, you should know how to weigh the pros and cons.”
