Gao Yuchuan stiffened, his face was cold, and his deep eyes were full of coldness, which made people shudder.
"She is forcing me." There was an undercurrent in Gao Yuchuan's eyes: "If I do nothing and let her betray me and leave me, I will regret it."
Su Xiao glanced at the bedroom door worriedly. She couldn't imagine what kind of life Shen Yaochu was living now.
"You used to rely on Yaochu to love you and rely on her not wanting to leave you, so you kept squandering her love for you. Now you want to use house arrest to forcefully keep her by your side. What kind of person do you have to keep her? Meaning? Her heart will only be pushed further and further away by you!"
"That would be better than her people leaving too."
Gao Yuchuan looked at Su Xiao coldly, but his mind was filled with Shen Yao's fear and panic when she first saw him.
He didn't like Shen Yaochu's expression on him, but what he couldn't accept even more was the four years she left him!
Every time he thought of her leaving him again, Gao Yuchuan's heart would shrink tightly.
During those four years, not only did he not want to look back on those days, but even when he thought about it, he felt that his breathing was stinging, and every breath he took was stinging.
He looked at Lidya Su with cold eyes: "At least now, I can have her at any time, right?"
"Can't you let Yao Chu go?" Su Xiao almost burst into tears: "You guys have a good talk, be honest and tell everything! As long as you can trust her, everything will get better..."
"She won't tell the truth." Gao Yuchuan said coldly: "She even lied to you, what else can she say that can be believed?"
Lidya Su: "Why do you say she is lying to me, and why do you insist that she is lying to you?"
Gao Yuchuan: "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
Su Xiao was still talking, but Gao Yuchuan suddenly put down the teacup in his hand.
The tea cup collided with the glass coffee table, making a crisp sound, interrupting Su Xiao.
Gao Yuchuan didn't even raise his head: "Send Miss Su away."
He slowly stood up and walked back. Su Xiao behind him wanted to follow, but was stopped by the bodyguard and "invited" him out.
Su Xiao's unwilling voice came from behind Gao Yuchuan: "Gao Yuchuan, I told you, you will regret it sooner or later!..."
…
Lidya Su was driven away.
The little hope that was ignited in Shen Yaochu's eyes was extinguished.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door: "Madam, it's me."
Aunt Li said as she pushed the door open and entered.
Shen Yaochu looked down at the hickeys on her body and the strangulation marks on her wrists, and subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover them all.
Aunt Li did her usual routine and brought the food in and placed it on the table next to her.
Shen Yao first moved her body, and the soreness after being crushed all over her body instantly made her frown.
Aunt Li: "I made some delicious sweet porridge for you today. Get up and eat some. If this continues, your body will really not be able to bear it."
Aunt Li came over and tried to help Shen Yaochu get up.
As soon as the quilt was lifted, the ambiguous bruises and bruises on Shen Yaochu's body were exposed to Aunt Li's eyes.
Aunt Li was stunned, and quickly pretended not to see it, and covered her with the quilt: "Madam, I will bring it for you, and you can eat it on the bed..."
Shen Yaochu noticed the panic in Aunt Li's eyes and the trembling in her voice. She slightly curled her lips and showed a self-deprecating smile: "I can't eat it."
When she spoke, her hoarse voice echoed throughout the room.
Aunt Li tucked the quilt in for Shen Yaochu and persuaded her earnestly: "But madam, you haven't eaten for a long time. People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat, how can your body bear it?"
Shen Yaochu narrowed her eyes, with a bitter smile on her lips: "It's not that I don't want to eat, it's that I can't eat it."
Aunt Li is from Gao Yuchuan, so she can't say much.
But as both women, Aunt Li saw Shen Yaochu's stubbornness in her eyes.
It must be that Shen Yaochu had a conflict with Gao Yuchuan and refused to eat, which made him angry. That's why Gao Yuchuan went all the way to ask Assistant Fang to bring her here, hoping to persuade her.
She is just a servant, so what can she say?
Aunt Li let out a long sigh: "Madam, let me tell you something from my heart. Don't tell Master Yuchuan. You hurt yourself like this. Not only will you suffer, but if the two children see you like this, they will feel so sorry for you... …”
Mentioning BOBO and CiCi, Shen Yao's eyes, which were already red from crying, started to shed tears again.
That is the heartache that only a mother can feel.
She wanted to resist Gao Yuchuan, but was unable to do so. She could only rely on hunger strikes to do harm to her body.
If BOBO and CiCi saw her now...
Shen Yaochu could hardly imagine how panicked the two children would be.
Shen Yaochu lowered her head and said no more, but her trembling shoulders revealed her defenselessness and helplessness.
Aunt Li gave her a distressed look, turned around and left the bedroom.
*****
————
Gao Yuchuan sat in front of the large dining table.
Sunlight shines in through the large glass windows, slanting on Gao Yuchuan's distinct facial features, and his sculpture-like outline is clearly visible.
Gao Yuchuan's deep eyes were light, his expression was cold, his face was expressionless, like a cold sculpture, and there was an indescribable indifference all over his body.
Aunt Li put down the food and looked at Gao Yuchuan but hesitated to speak.
Gao Yuchuan was displeased and looked at her with a frown.
Aunt Li was so frightened by the condensed breath around him that she quickly shut her mouth and did not dare to say anything.
Gao Yuchuan suddenly said: "Has she eaten?"
"Uh..." Aunt Li was confused: "My wife said it's not that she doesn't want to eat, but that she can't eat it."
Gao Yuchuan's voice was cold: "If she doesn't eat tonight, you can go back to Lukang, pack your things and leave the Gao family."
Aunt Li was anxious: "Master Yuchuan, I have served the Gao family since I was young. If you want to drive me away, where can I go..."
Before Aunt Li finished speaking, the door suddenly clicked and someone opened it.
Gao Yuchuan and Aunt Li raised their eyes at the same time, and met Shen Yaochu's eyes.
The woman's eye sockets were slightly sunken from not eating or drinking for several days, showing deep exhaustion.
But her slightly upward almond eyes were particularly bright.
Gao Yuchuan was stunned, and Aunt Li on the side shouted in surprise: "Madam, are you willing to eat?!"
Shen Yaochu walked over slowly, holding on to her weak body. She did not look at Gao Yuchuan, but sat down next to Gao Yuchuan with Aunt Li's support.
She didn't say anything, she accepted the chopsticks handed over by Aunt Li submissively, and started eating in small bites.
Although every grain of rice was difficult to swallow, she still chewed and swallowed hard.
Gao Yuchuan tilted his head, his dark eyes filled with emotion staring closely at Shen Yaochu's pale face.
He curled his lips and said in a cold voice, "Have you figured it out?"
