"Am I wrong?" Shao Junhao could not bear to see Gu Lan's pale face, but when he thought about how close Gu Lan and Shao Junyi were just now, his words turned ugly.

Gu Lan pursed her lips, and after a long while, a bitter and helpless smile appeared on her lips. Forget it, he didn't believe her anyway. No matter what she said, he would only think that she was quibbling.

"Speak!" Seeing that Gu Lan did not say anything, Shao Junhao frowned and his expression turned even colder.

Gu Lan lowered her head slightly and ignored Shao Junhao.

This feeling of being ignored made Shao Junhao extremely unhappy, and this person was still Gu Lan, the one who would remember and do whatever he said back then!

"Gu Lan, are you deaf or mute?"

Shao Junhao's voice also turned cold with a hint of anger.

He thought that Gu Lan would try to curry favor with him like before.

However, Gu Lan did not look at him and only said lightly, "It's almost time for dinner. Go back and eat."

With that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Gu Lan did not listen and said, "Don't let Mom and Dad wait too long."

"I told you to stop!" Shao Junhao took two steps forward and reached out his hand to grab Gu Lan's wrist. Due to his anger, he used too much strength, causing Gu Lan to feel a bit of pain.

"Mr. Shao, what exactly do you want to do?" Gu Lan struggled with all her might, trying to get away from Shao Junhao.

Gu Lan's actions caused Shao Junhao to feel extremely displeased as he tightened his grip on Gu Lan.

Shao Junhao smirked sarcastically, "Gu Lan, why aren't you answering? Is there nothing else to say? You're a slut! You want to seduce a man whenever you see him!"

"Shao Junhao!"

Gu Lan's eyes instantly turned red. For the first time, she called Shao Junhao by his first name. She stared at him, her red lips opening and closing, but in the end, she did not say anything.

Gu Lan struggled again, this time successfully pulling her hand away. Gu Lan quickly walked out, but Shao Junhao pulled her back again.

Lowering her head, Gu Lan looked down at the ground and asked in an exhausted tone, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Shao Junhao was very tall, and even though Gu Lan was tall, she stood in front of Shao Junhao like a little bird.

At this moment, Shao Junhao lowered his head slightly to look at her, but he could only see Gu Lan's slender and white neck, which was exposed because of her lowered head.

Such a posture revealed a sense of weakness.

Shao Junhao recalled the way Gu Lan had called him by name just now, and his eyes instantly turned red. She was different from the proud and noble woman he had always seen.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Shao Junhao sneered, "Do you feel wronged? You feel wronged just because I said a few words. Then what about when Xiaoxiao was forced to leave the country? How wronged must she be!"

Gu Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at Shao Junhao.

Shao Junhao frowned as he looked into Gu Lan's red eyes. He said, "Back then, in order to marry me and take Mrs Shao's position, you didn't hesitate to ask Uncle and Aunt Gu to force me to agree. Why didn't you feel wronged?"

"I didn't... I didn't know you and Qu Xiao..."

Gu Lan shook her head.

"You're still quibbling even now!"

Furious, Shao Junhao looked at Gu Lan like a beast that was about to devour its prey.

Gu Lan was so shocked that the rest of her words choked in her throat.

How could she tell him that when Shao's mother suddenly came to her and asked her if she was willing to marry Shao Junhao, she did not know that Shao Junhao and Qu Xiao were together and that Shao's mother had broken up with them?

How was she going to tell him that her parents didn't want her to marry him at all, and that they had only agreed to the marriage because of the Gu's and because she liked him?

How could she tell him that she and Qu Xiao were also best friends? If she had known that Qu Xiao was with him, she would have helped them.

Gu Lan closed her eyes and suppressed the tears in her eyes. In fact, wasn't it her own fault?

By the time she got the marriage certificate, she already knew about Shao Junhao and Qu Xiao, but by that time, Qu Xiao had already left.

But in the end, she was too naive.

"You can't deny it?"

Shao Junhao did not hear Gu Lan speak for a long time. When he turned around, he found that Gu Lan had closed her eyes and pursed her lips. She frowned and said sarcastically, "Miss Gu Lan has always been sharp-tongued, but now she can't speak."

"When I speak, you say I quibble, and when I don't speak, you do it again."

Gu Lan opened her eyes and her tone became much calmer. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want to know what you said to Xiaoxiao back then, to make her leave so quickly that she didn't even want to see me!" Shao Junhao said angrily.

"As I said before, Qu Xiao only came to say goodbye to me and said that she was going abroad. We didn't say anything else," Gu Lan said.

She clearly remembered that it was the day after her engagement party with Shao Junhao. Qu Xiao came to her, told her that she had a scholarship and was going to study abroad, and apologized for not attending her engagement party yesterday.

Not a word was said about Shao Junhao.

At that time, she and Shao Junhao were only engaged and had yet to get their marriage certificate.

She had told Shao Junhao all of this, but he did not believe her. He had seen Qu Xiao leave the coffee shop in tears, and she was the one who had met her. She was the one who had stolen Qu Xiao's boyfriend.
