Chapter 15: Ending Friendships
No matter what, Gu Qibao never expected that she would be tricked. Relaxing, she had retreated to her bed early to sleep.
Upon seeing daylight again, Gu Qibao never felt the world was so beautiful. Carrying her small backpack to school, she couldn’t express how happy she felt.
The first thing Gu Qibao did after leaving the house was call Nangong Ran. Without waiting for Nangong Ran to answer, she said, "Nangong Ran, meet me at the small grove at Yinjue School this morning, or else!"
How could she forget that Nangong Ran was the one who had betrayed her to this extent? She was damn near becoming Di Mingjue’s third generation!
Yinjue School’s Small Grove
"Hey, Xiaoqi, have you had breakfast? I bought you some..." Before Nangong Ran could finish, the yogurt she was holding in her hand was knocked over by Gu Qibao.
Nangong Ran dropped her gaze guiltily.
"Qibao, what are you doing?" Bo Chenghe, who was standing next to Nangong Ran, furrowed his brow.
"What am I doing?" Gu Qibao glared at them, raising her voice, "You should ask her what she has done."
"Don’t blame Ranran, it was my idea." Bo Chenghe said, "I bought that packet of drugs."
"Oh really, Bo Chenghe." Gu Qibao widened her eyes, looking at them both in disbelief, "You two teamed up to trick me! What kind of friends are you? What kind of buddies are you? You have ruined me, do you know that?"
"Xiaoqi, I’m sorry." Nangong Ran guiltily looked at her.
"What’s the use of saying sorry?" Gu Qibao scolded her with her hands on her hips, "Do you think saying sorry can compensate for my loss?"
They have no idea how ruthless Di Mingjue can be!
Upon hearing Gu Qibao’s harsh words, Bo Chenghe also felt some remorse. He tried to explain, "Qibao, Ranran only wanted you to be with my big brother. She wanted to help you. We just didn’t expect things to go wrong."
"Things just went wrong?" Gu Qibao couldn’t help stomping her foot, "Bo Chenghe, you say it so lightly. If I love Brother Chenghe, I will confess to him myself! You two are really audacious, drugging me right off the bat! Don’t you have any money? And when things went south, why did you pair me up with Di Mingjue? Couldn’t you find any other guy?"
This angered Gu Qibao. They should have at least discussed such a big decision with her. That night Nangong Ran had two glasses of wine for Bo Chengyan to toast her, but then Bo Chengyan left after receiving a call, and she gave the wine to Di Mingjue to drink.
Nangong Ran and Bo Chenghe fell silent under Gu Qibao’s sharp rebuke. They indeed felt guilty.
"Xiaoqi, you are okay, right?" Nangong Ran tried to reach out and hold Gu Qibao’s hand, but a furious Gu Qibao dodged her hand.
Nangong Ran was taken aback, she lowered her head, looking very disappointed.
"Xiaoqi, don’t be like this." Bo Chenghe couldn’t hold back, "It’s not like we wanted things to turn out this way. Besides, we wouldn’t dare to randomly find a man for you."
After all, Gu Qibao was the youngest princess of the Great Four Families, the Gu Family. Dare to casually find someone for her with such a high status?
"I don’t want to hear what you have to say anymore." Gu Qibao abruptly cut off Bo Chenghe’s statement, turned her head, "Let’s just leave it at that." After speaking, she turned and walked away.
"What do you mean by ’let’s just leave it at that’?" Nangong Ran loudly asked from behind her, not understanding.
"I don’t want to be friends with you anymore." Gu Qibao replied without turning back, grasping the straps of her backpack tighter and quickening her pace.
She, Nangong Ran, and Bo Chenghe were the same age. The three of them had been good friends since childhood, and including Di Jinxuan, they had a profound bond of friendship.
Gu Qibao felt a heavy weight in her chest. How could a friendship be just discarded like this?
However, she really couldn’t swallow this down. She was so innocently victimized to this extent. Regardless of what was said, she did not want to talk to Nangong Ran for a while.
