Chapter 54

    Chi Nan watched Fu Chaoyun’s departing figure, silently shedding tears. After Fu Chaoyun left, the room was filled with silence, and Gu Jingnan.

    Gu Jingnan walked forward a couple of steps, patted Chi Nan on the shoulder, and then handed Chi Nan a tissue, telling him to wipe his tears.

    “Thank you.”

    Chi Nan took the tissue from Gu Jingnan’s hand and thanked him.

    “Did something bring you here today?”

    Chi Nan didn’t know why Gu Jingnan had come at this time. Logically speaking, he and Gu Jingnan shouldn’t have any interaction, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be to this extent of familiarity. So, Chi Nan didn’t know why Gu Jingnan had come.

    “I saw the news and was worried about your safety, so I came to check on you. When I arrived, there was a crowd of people downstairs.”

    Gu Jingnan said concisely. Chi Nan roughly understood Gu Jingnan’s meaning and thanked him for clearing away the crowd downstairs. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know when he would be able to come and go freely.

    Chi Nan thanked Gu Jingnan again for this. Gu Jingnan saw that Chi Nan was okay, safe in the apartment, and was about to leave. After all, he was just worried about Chi Nan. Chi Nan escorted Gu Jingnan to the door and watched him walk away before returning to the house.

    The first thing he did was open Weibo to see if there were any more revelations. Chi Nan had just logged into Weibo when he was kicked out again. When he logged in again, he saw that his account had already become a trending topic for insults. Information about him kept increasing instead of decreasing, and the number of people cursing him also increased. This wasn’t the first time Chi Nan had experienced something like this. He could now calmly accept being cursed, simply ignoring it and uninstalling the app. Out of sight, out of mind. This farce between him and Fu Chaoyun should also end. It shouldn’t have developed in the first place. Ending it early was also a way to return him a piece of clean land.

    Chi Nan also blacklisted a number on his phone. This was a photo and a piece of fragmented recording that Liang Sixu had sent him that morning. Chi Nan was taking a shower at the time, and when he came out, he received this text message. Chi Nan opened it and saw Uncle Fu, as well as some disjointed conversations, recordings of Uncle Fu and Liang Sixu’s conversations that had been sent to Chi Nan.

    After Fu Chaoyun left, Liang Sixu, at the hospital, found Chi Nan’s phone number and sent Fu Chaoyun’s photo to him, followed by a voice message. The voice message was synthesized, edited together, but with Chi Nan’s brainpower, people in love have negative IQs. As long as Liang Sixu sent it, whether Chi Nan believed it or not, it would leave a knot in his heart. This knot was the last straw that led to the disintegration of Fu Chaoyun and Chi Nan’s relationship.

    “Chi Nan, Fu Chaoyun, neither of you will have a good time.”

    After sending the photo, Liang Sixu touched his swollen mouth corner and said through gritted teeth. How could he let himself be immersed in pain alone? Since Fu Chaoyun liked Chi Nan so much, then everyone should fall into hell together. Liang Sixu’s thoughts were very dangerous now, almost with a do-or-die mentality. If he was going to be finished, then everyone should live a wretched existence in this hell together.

    “Hahahaha.”

    Liang Sixu thought of the miserable state of Chi Nan and Fu Chaoyun in the future, and he found it funny. He was now laughing like someone with a serious psychological illness, unable to bear the sight of others’ happiness.

    After Fu Chaoyun left Chi Nan’s house, although Chi Nan had let go, the mess still had to be cleaned up. He had promised the kid, and he would definitely fulfill it all. Fu Chaoyun still arranged for people to stay by Chi Nan’s side. He was still worried about Chi Nan’s safety. And he himself had to return to the company now to start discussing the trending topic issue.

    After Fu Chaoyun arrived at the company in a whirlwind, the team was already on standby, ready to act. First, they spent money to lower the trending topic, and then they suppressed all the issues regarding Chi Nan’s background, removing all information about Chi Nan.

    The entire team was in a state of tension, while the gossiping netizens were having a great time eating melons. Chi Nan was in a state of self-abandonment in the living room, his mind blank. He received a text message on his phone. Chi Nan took it out to check. It was a message from Zhang Fang and the others, saying that they had seen the information online and asking how Chi Nan was doing. Chi Nan was still very gratified that there were still people who cared about him at this time.

    Chi Nan was just about to reply to Zhang Fang’s message when Zhang Fang called.

    “Nan Nan, the brothers have all seen what’s online. If you’re really unhappy, it’s no big deal for us to get drunk with you. Just don’t keep everything in your heart. It’s not good to keep things in your heart. If there’s anything, tell us. Jiang Chen and I are both in City A.”

    “I’m fine. I’m doing pretty well now.”

    “Nan Nan, if there’s anything, tell the brothers in time. We’re all here.”

    After Zhang Fang finished speaking, he was still not at ease about Chi Nan and told Chi Nan a few more words. When he was about to hang up, Chi Nan suddenly stopped Zhang Fang.

    “Zhang Fang.”

    “What’s wrong, Nan Nan?”

    Chi Nan thought for a moment.

    “Get drunk with me. It feels like there’s been a lot going on lately.”

    “Okay, wait for me. I’ll be over there soon.”

    After Zhang Fang hung up the phone, he called Jiang Chen and went out together. Actually, this time was not suitable for Chi Nan to go out, but what did it matter? He was already notorious. What was there to worry about? Besides, he hadn’t done anything wrong. Why should he hide at home and not be able to go out? Had he done anything outrageous or illegal? If he had really done something illegal, naturally the law would punish him.

    After Chi Nan understood this principle, he put on a mask, changed his clothes, and went out. He agreed on a location with Zhang Fang. When Chi Nan went downstairs, he found that all the people who had been blocking the downstairs were gone. The security of the apartment seemed to have also risen to a higher level. All of this seemed to have been done by Gu Jingnan.

    Chi Nan suddenly thought of another question. Gu Jingnan cared about him so much, could it be that he liked him? But it shouldn’t be, right? Gu Jingnan was old enough to be his father. He shouldn’t like him, right? It was just the care of an elder for a younger person. Chi Nan threw these unrealistic ideas out of his mind and went to the agreed location with Zhang Fang and the others.

    Because of Chi Nan’s identity, the group went to a club with a high level of privacy. The three of them went in and immediately asked for a private room. Chi Nan took off his mask and sat down.

    Zhang Fang and the others saw Chi Nan’s red eyes at a glance. His red eyes showed that he had no energy. When he sat on the chair, his mood wasn’t very high either. Seeing this situation, Zhang Fang directly ordered a case of beer. Today, he was prepared to get drunk and have a good time with his good brother.
