Chapter 411 The explanation is unclear
Following that unexpected hug, Jiang Ning felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Her intuition told her that the relationship between Gu Yuan and Lin Wei was not simple.
While Gu Yuan was busy arranging a meeting with Lin Wei, Jiang Ning decided to find the answer on his own.
She began to search for Lin Wei's information on the Internet, hoping to find some clues.
Just when she was about to give up, an old photo caught her attention.
It was a group photo from their college days. In the photo, Gu Yuan and Lin Wei were standing together. Both of them were smiling brightly, and it was obvious that they had a special relationship.
The comments below the photo reveal a surprising fact
——Lin Wei was Gu Yuan’s first love.
Jiang Ning's heart seemed to be hit hard. Her breathing became rapid and her fingers trembled involuntarily.
She never imagined that she would be involved in such a complicated triangle relationship.
Her heart was filled with pain and anger, but she decided to hide these emotions deep down so that Gu Yuan wouldn't notice.
The next day, when Gu Yuan excitedly proposed to take Jiang Ning to meet Lin Wei, Jiang Ning forced a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
"Okay, I want to meet this 'relative' too."
Jiang Ning deliberately emphasized the word "relatives", but Gu Yuan didn't seem to hear the irony.
They came to the hotel where Lin Wei was staying temporarily. Gu Yuan knocked on the door, and the door slowly opened. Lin Wei appeared at the door. Her eyes flashed a hint of surprise when she saw Jiang Ning, but it was quickly covered up by a polite smile.
"Welcome, please come in."
Lin Wei's voice was gentle and polite.
No matter how beautifully she spoke, Jiang Ning always had a filter on her and couldn't like her.
After the three of them sat down, Gu Yuan began to introduce each other, but Jiang Ning's mind had already flown elsewhere.
She observed Lin Wei, trying to find any possible flaws in her behavior and words.
"Thank you, Gu Yuan. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
Lin Wei said this with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
"This is what I should do."
Gu Yuan answered naturally, but Jiang Ning felt a sharp pain.
The conversation went on for a while and Jiang Ning remained silent. She didn't want Gu Yuan to see her vulnerability.
Her eyes fell on Lin Wei from time to time.
She noticed that Lin Wei was wearing an exquisite bracelet on her hand, which looked somewhat familiar.
I remembered a photo I had seen in Gu Yuan’s study before. The girl in the photo was wearing the same bracelet on her wrist.
Jiang Ning's face turned even paler. She suppressed her inner uneasiness and left the room on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Jiang Ning tried to calm himself down.
She knew that she couldn't conclude that there was anything wrong between Gu Yuan and Lin Wei based on just a bracelet, but her intuition kept telling her that things were not that simple.
Returning to his seat, Jiang Ning decided to take the initiative.
She smiled and said to Lin Wei:
"This bracelet is very beautiful. Is it a gift from Gu Yuan?"
Lin Wei showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, but she quickly regained her smile and explained:
“I bought this myself.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing more.
But she had already made up her mind, so she didn't say another word until she left the hotel.
On the way home, Gu Yuan finally realized that something was wrong with Jiang Ning.
He stopped the car, turned around, and asked with concern:
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Gu Yuan, do you really think we can be like before? Do you know what I found out?"
Gu Yuan frowned, he realized that things might not be simple.
"What did you find? Tell me."
Jiang Ning took out his cell phone, found the old photo and handed it to Gu Yuan.
"This is Lin Wei, your first love. Don't you think you should have told me earlier?"
Gu Yuan's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect Jiang Ning to discover this secret.
He tried to explain:
"That happened many years ago. Lin Wei and I lost contact a long time ago. This time, I intervened because her situation was really dangerous."
But Jiang Ning's heart was already closed, her voice was cold and hard:
"Do you think I would believe it? A first love, a 'relative' who needs help, this is all too much of a coincidence."
Gu Yuan felt unprecedented despair. He knew that if he didn't resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible, his relationship with Jiang Ning would be irreparable.
He held Jiang Ning's hand tightly, his eyes full of pleading:
"I swear, there is no relationship between Lin Wei and me that goes beyond friends and family. You are the one I love, and you are the one I want to spend my life with. Please give me a chance to prove it."
Jiang Ning looked at Gu Yuan, her heart full of contradictions.
She knew that if she gave up like that, she might miss someone who truly loved her.
But she also needs time to digest it all and to determine her feelings.
"I can't give you an answer right now. I need time, I need space. Please understand."
There was a hint of fatigue in Jiang Ning's voice.
Gu Yuan knew that this was the only thing he could do.
He nodded, his eyes full of reluctance:
"I understand. I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes. I will always be by your side as long as you want me to."
As the car door slowly closed, Jiang Ning drove away alone, leaving Gu Yuan alone on the roadside.
Their relationship once again reached a deadlock, but Gu Yuan still held hope in his heart.
He believed that as long as they had love in their hearts, they would always be able to overcome all difficulties and regain their happiness.
