Chapter 278: Chapter 278 He Seems to Have Seen Through My Thoughts_1
“Let them go home! This woman won’t hinder our progress!”
Perhaps in Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes, a weak woman like Liu Yu can’t cause any trouble, so he holds no reservations towards her.
With Gu Yuanzhou relenting, although reluctantly, Ayu had no choice but to let them go.
“I’ll call a car to take them down the mountain!”
I originally planned to order a taxi through a ride-hailing app, and personally send Liu Yu and her daughter down the mountain.
Once we get down, I would teach her how to avoid Ayu and his men to prevent them from kidnapping her again.
I had it all planned out.
But Gu Yuanzhou stopped me,
“No need to call a car, I’ll have someone drive them home… It’s so late; there are no cars coming up the mountain.”
“Then let me go down with them! Mrs. Qi can’t handle two kids on her own, I’m free anyway.”
Gu Yuanzhou stared deeply at me, as if he could see through my thoughts,
“Alright, I’ll drive you all!”
We bargained, but I had to give in.
Half an hour later.
I left the mountain in Gu Yuanzhou’s car, sitting in the passenger seat.
Liu Yu sat in the back row with her two children.
Even though we were all in one car, with Gu Yuanzhou by my side, I couldn’t talk to Liu Yu and had to pretend that I didn’t know her.
The journey was silent.
An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance to the Qi family home.
Being clever, Liu Yu made a request as she got out of the car,
“Could you help me carry my eldest daughter inside, she is asleep.”
I wanted an excuse to go out anyway, so I agreed instantly. After getting out of the car, we each carried a child into the house.
At this point, it was already one o’clock in the morning.
The Qi family should all be asleep, the rooms were dark.
Liu Yu softly opened the door, placed the two children onto the sofa, both kids were well-behaved and did not make a fuss.
“Rest assured, I won’t reveal your secret… stay away from this place for a few days, don’t come back within a week! Trust me! If something happens, call me.”
I left her my phone number in case she needed anything.
“Okay!”
Scared that Gu Yuanzhou would grow suspicious, I didn’t linger and quickly said goodbye to Liu Yu before hastily exiting.
The car was still parked at the entrance, Gu Yuanzhou was leaning against it, smoking a cigarette.
When he saw me come out, he immediately looked at his watch,
“Why did it take you so long?”
“Mr. Gu, you had children, right? You should know it takes time to take care of them!”
Gu Yuanzhou opened the car door and sat in,
“Get in the car!”
After I had settled in the passenger seat, Gu Yuanzhou started the car. He glanced at me,
“You better not mingle with this woman!”
“What is Mr. Gu worried about?”
“Where is she?”
“What?”
“Ye Mengyan!!!”
At this moment, I realized Gu Yuanzhou’s motive for escorting us down the mountain. It turns out, he was still fixated on Ye Mengyan.
He hadn’t even shown patience to wait a night and insisted on getting her tonight.
After all, Ye Mengyan was his true love.
“Just keep going forward!”
I was feeling restless, so I carelessly pointed in a direction for him to drive.
At first, Gu Yuanzhou was patient, but after driving for more than an hour without reaching the destination,
He started to lose patience,
“Are you kidding me? Did you get the direction wrong?”
“Turn left, we’re almost there!”
In this way, I had Gu Yuanzhou driving left and right for two to three hours, and we still didn’t reach our destination.
Gu Yuanzhou lost his patience,
“Are you doing this on purpose? It only takes three hours to circle around A City!”
“You don’t even have the patience to go pick her up?”
“Cut the crap, tell me the destination, don’t waste my time, my time is valuable!”
“Gu Yuanzhou, I’m hungry!”
“You….”
Gu Yuanzhou’s face turned black, he was irritable.
Yet he still drove the car and found a late-night restaurant.
In fact, I wasn’t hungry at all. I was just being willful and wanted to test Gu Yuanzhou’s patience.
I thought back to the days when I was taking care of two children at home, waiting for him to return every day.
But he was carefree and enjoying life with Ye Mengyan…
This thought made me very upset. Now, I simply wanted him to feel the hardship that I had endured back then.
We ordered dishes.
I deliberately picked complicated dishes, like banana fritters…
He sat casually on the chair, with a cigarette in hand, his deep wide eyes occasionally gazing at me.
Once the dishes were served, I deliberately took my time.
Drinking soup, I took a spoonful, slowly blew on it to cool it down, then slowly sipped it into my mouth.
Eating fish, I carefully removed all the bones, then put the clean pieces into my mouth.
Eating peas, I peeled off the skin, and slowly ate them!
Anyway, I was stalling for time.
At first, Gu Yuanzhou was somewhat impatient, he would stand up and look out the window.
After a while, he came back and sat down in front of me.
He stared intently into my eyes,
“Did you conspire with Ding Yinuo to help the Song Family?”
I calmly looked at him,
“Mr. Gu, we are not friends. I won’t be sharing any information with you.”
“Heh! Useless struggle! But that’s okay. I will take care of the Ding family and eliminate future trouble!”
In the end, I had no appetite and put the spoon down.
“Alright, I’m full, let’s go!”
I packed up and headed out.
Gu Yuanzhou followed behind me to pay the bill…
…then caught up with me.
By this time, the rain had stopped…
As we got into the car, Gu Yuanzhou answered a call.
He had it on speaker so I was able to hear it too.
It sounded like it was Ayu on the other end.
“Brother Zhou, Qi Ming has been taken to the emergency room. The doctor said his brain bleeding is severe, even if he survives, he may not be conscious! What should we do?”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me, apparently on guard against me. He thought for a few seconds before saying,
“Let’s talk about it when I get back, I’m busy right now!”
I slightly raised the corners of my lips.
Looking at the dark night outside the car window, I thought: ‘Well, what goes around, comes around.’
Qi Ming committed many sins and got what he deserved.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuanzhou saw the smile on my lips and immediately asked me, “What are you laughing at?”
“Isn’t it a beautiful day today, wouldn’t you agree?”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t understand what I meant…
He pulled his gaze from me and looked forward, soon, the car came to a stop.
“Is this the place?”
I ignored him, got out of the car, and walked straight to the house with the lights on.
Next, I called Wenya’s aunt, and the gate opened.
After we entered.
When Ye Mengyan saw Gu Yuanzhou, she rushed over to him and buried herself in his arms, crying miserably.
“Brother Gu! She abused me, this woman, she’s too terrible… she deliberately didn’t give me water to drink, and she made me eat rotten food! The food had no oil or moisture, and there were cockroaches on the bed! Woo, Brother Gu, you must stand up for me! If you came any later, I would be dead! This woman is too heartless.”
