<h4>Chapter 824: She Once Loved Me with Her Life (2)</h4>


    The entry written on the night before hising-of age ceremony was: I’m meeting Gu Yu in person tomorrow. I handmade a cuff link for him as his birthday gift. I hope he will like this gift I made for him, and that he will like me, the person who made him this cuff link, too.


    She had all her girlish dreams, her hazy impression of her fiancé whom she had never met before, as well as her expectations for their first meeting, penned in this notebook.


    Gu Yu’s fingers trembled slightly.


    He remembered their first meeting at theing-of-age ceremony.


    He had always detested this fiancée of his. But he was unwilling to go against his grandfather’s wish, as Grandpa Gu was the only nearest kin he had left in the world. Thus, he could only go along with the engagement as long as this fiancée of his knew her ce and not cause him any trouble. He would just need to marry her when she came to marriageable age.


    After his parents passed away and the Gu Corporation faced internal problem, he became increasingly cold and withdrawn, pushing away everyone except for Grandpa Gu and Xu Shuai, who grew up together with him. He cared for no one else.


    When Grandpa Gu brought Xu Wei in front of him, he only gave her a disdainful nce. Since he did not care for her, he certainly wouldn’t notice how she looked like, what she wore, and how she felt meeting him for the first time.


    She followed him and presented him with the birthday gift she prepared when he went out for fresh air.


    Xu Wei had tried to appear reserved in front of him and not let him noticed too much of her hidden emotions. He could see that she tried hard to put on a calm front. But he’d seen too many girls that liked him. Thus, he could easily see through Xu Wei as well.


    He had always been decisive and ruthless in dealing with problems, never letting them dragged on for too long. He preferred solving his problems once and for all.


    Thus, he chose to reject her mercilessly to get rid of her. “Get lost, I’m not interested in you.”


    He even threw her birthday gift into the trash can.


    It wasn’t the first time he had rejected a girl, nor was it the first time he had been so ruthless. He’s felt nothing wrong with him for doing that, since it seemed right to not let her hope if he had no liking towards her. It would be even better if she gave up on him. That would certainly save him some trouble, too.


    However, it was a fatal blow for the hopeful Xu Wei.


    Gu Yu flipped on to the next page. The entry was written on the night of his birthday celebration anding-to-age ceremony. There was only one line of writing on the page.


    Gu Yu was even better-looking than I’d imagined. But he did not seem to like the birthday gift I gave him, neither did he like me as his fiancée.


    This sentence was written in a calm expressionpared to various other entries, which were filled with various emotions. His rejection came to her like a heavy rain to her zing fire.


    Since then, Xu Wei wrote little into the diary. Although there were asional entries that followed, but his name was never mentioned again, as if he’d disappeared from her world.


    From those intermittent records, Xu Wei passed high school, got offered a ce into the university and went to attend university.


    It was during the mid-semester of her university enrollment that Gu Yu’s name appeared in the notebook again.


    “I saw Gu Yu on campus today. I thought I saw wrong until Chunchun told me that Gu Yu attended this university too. I did not expect to meet him again, certainly not under this setting and circumstances.”
