Now, Shao Junhao did not believe it either.

"Impossible, if you didn't say anything, why would Xiaoxiao cry and leave? Why would she leave the country without saying a word to me?" Shao Junhao recalled the day he went to look for Gu Lan, only to see Qu Xiao crying as she walked out of the coffee shop. The person sitting inside was none other than Gu Lan!

"Since you don't believe me, I don't want to explain myself. It's already past mealtime. Let's go back." Gu Lan did not want to talk about Qu Xiao anymore. This person had been gone for many years, but he still stood between her and Shao Junhao, not letting her off for even a moment.

Sometimes, Gu Lan hated Qu Xiao, but when she thought about how she was the one who indirectly broke up Qu Xiao and Shao Junhao, and how Qu Xiao was the most innocent person in this matter, she couldn't bring herself to hate her.

However, Shao Junhao did not want to let this matter go just like that. He continued to hold Gu Lan's wrist and mocked, "I wanted to believe you back then, but what you did was really disgusting! Even your body is not clean!"

Shao Junhao's words once again pierced into Gu Lan's wound. Her heart trembled as she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

Losing her innocence for no reason was the most painful thing that had happened to her in all these years, other than Shao Junhao not loving her.

She remembered that she had gone to a class reunion, had drunk a glass of wine, and that when she finally woke up, she was lying in a strange bed, covered with the marks of lovemaking.

No one could understand how desperate she was when she woke up in that strange room.

Gu Lan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She pursed her lips and forcefully pulled her hand away. This time, she managed to resist Shao Junhao's strength, but her wrist was already bruised.

"Gu Lan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gu Lan walked away quickly, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes any longer. However, even if she was crying, she did not make a single sound.

Shao Junhao originally wanted to hold Gu Lan's hand again, but he stopped in midair. The moment Gu Lan turned around, he saw her tears, which were actually a little dazzling.

"She's actually crying." Shao Junhao retracted his hand and recalled that Gu Lan had also cried at the hospital. A trace of annoyance appeared between his brows. "Why is she crying so much recently? I've never seen her cry before."

When Gu Lan returned to the living room, Shao's mother saw her and said, "Junyi said that you went to talk to Junhao. Where is Junhao?"

"Junhao suddenly had something to do, so he went back to the company first." Gu Lan revealed a faint smile. It was impossible to tell that she had just cried.

Shao's mother frowned and said unhappily: "What is it that's worth going back to the company now? We're already home, so we should eat before leaving. You too, why didn't you persuade him?"

Gu Lan pursed her lips and did not say anything.

There had been times when Shao Junhao had come home, suddenly found a job, and then went to work. She had tried to persuade him, but Shao Junhao had coldly told her to mind her own business. That's right, everything that happened to Shao Junhao had nothing to do with her.

Although today was not about the company, she knew that Shao Junhao, who had parted on bad terms with her, would not come back for dinner.

Shao Zhenguo said to Gu Lan, "Lanlan, sit down first." Then, he looked at Shao's mother, "It's not like you don't know how important work is to Junhao. Alright, let's eat. Lanlan has been working all day and is very tired. "

As expected, Shao Junhao did not come back even after the servants had cleaned up the table.

Gu Lan sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the television. It seemed that she and Shao Junhao had always parted on bad terms.

Divorce was the right decision.

She just felt sorry for Uncle Shao. He was very good to her. Other than Shao Junyi, he was the best to her in this family.

"Sister-in-law." Shao Junyi looked at Gu Lan's wrist and frowned. "What happened to your wrist?" After a pause, he asked, "Did my brother do this?"

It turned out that Shao Junyi had already noticed the red marks and bruises on Gu Lan's wrist when she arrived in the living room. He clearly remembered that it was not there when Gu Lan returned home. It was there when she came back after talking to her brother. It could only have been caused by his brother.

Hearing that, Gu Lan lowered her head to look at her wrist and said lightly, "It's fine." This could not even be considered a wound. It would be healed in a few days.

Shao Junyi frowned as he stood up and took out some ointment. "Sister-in-law, this looks a little serious. You should apply some ointment."

Gu Lan shook her head. "No need."

Shao Junyi took Gu Lan's hand and rubbed it on her. "A girl's hand must be protected, not to mention that sister-in-law is a nurse."

Gu Lan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she closed it and let Shao Junyi apply the ointment on her. Suddenly, Gu Lan remembered what Shao Junhao had said outside.

... "Isn't seducing me enough? You even want to seduce my brother?"

"I'll do it myself." Gu Lan took the ointment from Shao Junyi's hand and began applying it on her own. She had always treated Shao Junyi as her younger brother, but Shao Junhao said that.

Was she too close to Shao Junyi?

A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of Gu Lan's mouth as she mocked herself: He clearly could not stand what she was doing.

"Sister-in-law?" Shao Junyi noticed Gu Lan's estrangement in that instant and looked up at her.

"It's fine." Gu Lan put away the ointment and stood up. "It's already very late. You still have to work tomorrow, so go to bed early." With that, she returned to her room.

Shao Junyi looked at Gu Lan's closed door and frowned. What did his brother just say to his sister-in-law? Why did he feel that his sister-in-law was different from usual?
