What's more, Gu Baixue knew very well that the person who sacrificed his life to save Emperor Ye Leng that night was actually Gu Xiwan——
Gu Xiwan is the biggest threat between Gu Baixue and Emperor Ye Leng...
Gu Baixue dreamed of getting rid of Gu Xiwan, a thorn in his side.
However, the last time Gu Baixue bribed the "Sea Snake" to kill Gu Xiwan was discovered by Emperor Ye Leng. As long as Gu Xiwan was in Haicheng, Gu Baixue would not dare to do it again.
Gu Baixue and Gu Xiwan have lived together for fourteen years, and they know that Gu Xiwan is arrogant and always does what he says.
Gu Xiwan vowed to negotiate terms with her, and she would definitely fulfill her promise and leave Haicheng.
Once Gu Xiwan left Haicheng, Gu Baixue immediately found someone to attack Gu Xiwan, so that Gu Xiwan could never resolve the misunderstanding with Emperor Ye Leng!
…
A few minutes later, Gu Xiwan received a text message reminding her that the 100,000 yuan transferred to her by Gu Baixue had arrived.
Gu Xiwan hated Gu Baixue to the core. She would never make a deal with Gu Baixue unless she had to.
But one must live in the present.
Nowadays, the most important thing for her is to take good care of her mother and child. She urgently needs some money to settle her mother and her soon-to-be-born child in another strange city.
She will remember what Gu Baixue did to her, and five years later, she will definitely come back to take revenge on Gu Baixue.
Gu Xiwan left the cafe and got on the bus back to "Emperor's Garden".
At this time, Chu Lingjue was sitting in a wheelchair in front of the gate of the "Emperor's Garden"—
He raised his head and stared at the end of the road for a moment, his eyes wide open.
The moment Gu Xiwan appeared in Chu Lingjue's field of vision, the worry that had been fixed in Chu Lingjue's eyes like thick ink finally dissipated, followed by a hint of joy.
The next moment, Chu Lingjue suppressed this surprise, and his eyes turned as cold as before.
Gu Xiwan saw Chu Lingjue from a distance.
She didn't understand what Chu Lingjue was doing at the gate of the yard wearing an ugly mask.
And thinking that Chu Lingjue was already engaged to Gu Baixue, Gu Xiwan didn't want to say a word to him, so she glanced at him and quickly looked away.
"came back."
Chu Lingjue took the initiative.
"Yes." Gu Xiwan responded lightly and walked past him as if there was no one else around.
Chu Lingjue lowered his eyes and looked at her right foot.
"Does your foot still hurt?"
Gu Xiwan didn't expect that Chu Lingjue, who had always been cold and indifferent, would take the initiative to care about her, and she couldn't help but feel touched.
However, thinking that he was already engaged to Gu Baixue...
Before the touch of emotion could even appear in her eyes, it turned into sarcasm.
"Mr. Chu... no! I should call you Mr. Ye! Your fiancée is still waiting for you to have dinner with her relatives at the Pearl of the Sea. She needs you more than me. There is no need for you to come here with false feelings. I care about you."
A hint of grievance appeared on Chu Lingjue's true face, which was hidden by the mask.
Gu Xiwan quickened her pace and walked away.
I don’t know where Zhou Shutong went. At this time, there were only two deaf-mute servants accompanying Mu Yunian in the living room on the first floor.
In order to prevent Chu Lingjue from becoming suspicious, Gu Xiwan did not dare to bring too many things. She went to bedroom 202 to get her ID and put it in her bag, then hurried downstairs, grabbed Mu Yu and said,
"Mom, let's go."
Mu Yunian looked at Gu Xiwan with dull eyes.
"Where are you going? Wanwan, is your dad home?"
Gu Xiwan didn't understand why her mother, who hated Gu Shenhai so much, always said things like "Has your father come home yet?"
She squeezed Mu Yunian's hand tightly,
"Yes, Mom, my dad is home. I will take you to find him."
"Thank God, your dad didn't forget us. He's home. Your dad is finally home..." Mu Yunian followed Gu Xiwan out the door, tears falling down her face.
Gu Xiwan was walking in the yard when the housekeeper pushed Chu Lingjue towards her.
Gu Xiwan stopped.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Lingjue's voice was cold and magnetic, which made Gu Xiwan feel dazed even when she heard it in such a situation.
Gu Xiwan composed herself and said as calmly as possible,
"My mother and I haven't been alone together for a long time. I took her shopping."
He was afraid that the more he talked to Chu Lingjue, the more he would reveal his flaws. After speaking, he pulled his mother and started walking again.
"Stop!"
Chu Lingjue suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind.
After all, she felt guilty. Gu Xiwan's body trembled.
"Are you alright?"
"Take this card and the password, which is six to eight. If you and our mother want to buy something when you go shopping, you don't have to look at the price. Just buy whatever you want."
A bank card was put into Gu Xiwan's hand by Chu Lingjue.
"From now on, all your expenses will be charged to this card."
Gu Xiwan stayed where she was.
Chu Lingjue was as cold as an iceberg, but the temperature in his palms was exceptionally warm.
The moment his palm brushed her palm, she felt the warmth again, like bursts of spring breeze soothing her cold heart one after another...
It was also at this moment that Gu Xiwan remembered the scene of Chu Lingjue holding her feet with both hands and massaging her at the "Haicheng Pearl".
At that time, she was filled with jealousy and felt nothing else at all.
Now, she realized that that scene was indescribably warm and charming!
No!
Chu Lingjue is already Gu Baixue's fiancé!
How could she have such thoughts about him? !
Gu Xiwan took a deep breath.
"Thanks."
He didn't look back at Chu Lingjue.
Holding the bank card he gave her tightly, she walked towards the door of the villa.
Before, Gu Xiwan decided to temporarily accept the bank card because she didn't want to get into trouble with Chu Lingjue. After walking out of the door, she handed the bank card to the security guard in the guard room.
"Please give Chu Lingjue this bank card next time you see him."
As she spoke, she took off the "Dragon Control Ring" on her left ring finger.
"And this ring, give it to him too, thank you."
Maybe this bank card and this ring are not worth mentioning to Chu Lingjue.
But she didn't want to owe Chu Lingjue anything.
From now on, she has nothing to do with Chu Lingjue.
When Gu Xiwan reached the corner of the road, she couldn't help but look back at the "Emperor's Residence".
She had lived in the Gu family for fourteen years, but she thought about escaping from that home every moment; she lived in the "Emperor's Residence" for less than a week, and when she left, she was reluctant to leave.
And Chu Lingjue...
Why did she think of Chu Lingjue again? !
Suddenly her eyes hurt so much that Gu Xiwan held back the tears from flowing out of her eyes.
Gu Xiwan didn't know that after she left with Chu Lingjue's bank card, Chu Lingjue did not let Butler Cheng continue to push the wheelchair. Instead, he watched her walk out of the yard in the area where they parted.
At this moment, Chu Lingjue was still where she was. The moment her figure disappeared from his sight, Chu Lingjue's heart suddenly felt like a large emptiness, as if he was lost.
"Master, do you feel that something is wrong with the young lady today?" Butler Cheng said thoughtfully.
