"Mother Liu, he …" Shen Qianqian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word 'he'.
Although it wasn't that she didn't feel anything, Shen Qianqian realized that perhaps she had been hurt so thoroughly that she didn't feel sad at all.
"When will he be free?" Shen Qianqian sat up straight and asked.
"Sir?" Mother Liu was stunned. "Sir is at home now."
Mother Liu's words surprised Shen Qianqian. After all, it was already ten o 'clock. According to the usual working hours, he wouldn't be at home now.
"Now?" Shen Qianqian asked in disbelief.
Mother Liu glanced around and covered the phone with her hand. She lowered her voice and said, "Yes, Sir is at home now."
"Madam, are you sure you don't want to reconsider getting back together with Sir?" Mother Liu felt that although Lin Jinya had moved into the Gu family, Gu Hecheng didn't seem to care much about Lin Jinya. She felt that she would move out sooner or later.
"Sir comes home every day and seems to have changed. He often goes to Madam's old room and stays there. I feel that his relationship with Miss Lin has become much colder."
Mother Liu continued to speculate. "Miss, I think that Sir has realized that he made the wrong decision in the past. Madam, do you really not want to be with Sir again …"
Before Mother Liu could say the words' get back together ', Shen Qianqian interrupted her.
"Mother Liu, don't think too much. I will never get back together with him." Shen Qianqian tightened her grip on the phone. Not all mistakes could be made, not all broken hearts could be mended, and not all people that were lost could be brought back.
Shen Qianqian said calmly, "I'm looking for him for something else, not for emotional matters. If it's convenient, Mother Liu, can you help me tell him that I'm looking for him? I'll look for him in a while."
Shen Qianqian looked at the road conditions. She would be back at her apartment soon. She planned to go upstairs to get the things that she needed to return, and then go directly to the Gu family to look for Gu Hecheng.
"Thank you, sir. Just stop here for a while." Shen Qianqian paid the fare and quickly went upstairs to put away the two hundred thousand yuan in the wardrobe.
Shen Qianqian carried her backpack and hailed a taxi at the intersection. She told the driver the address and sat in the back seat, slightly lost in thought.
In the Gu villa, Mother Liu returned to the living room with some difficulty. She paced back and forth, not knowing how to broach the matter with Gu Hecheng.
Just as she was thinking, Gu Hecheng came downstairs.
Gu Hecheng did not seem to have had a good rest. His originally radiant face seemed to have lost some weight and there were dark circles under his eyes.
"Sir." Mother Liu stood respectfully beside him. "Breakfast is ready. The tonic soup for Miss Lin is also ready."
Gu Hecheng stopped in his tracks and turned around. It was only then that he remembered that Lin Jinya had been feeling unwell last night and he had asked Old Liu to send her to the hospital. Lin Jinya had also asked him to pick her up today.
"Okay, I got it. I still have to go to the office. " Gu Hecheng pulled out a chair and sat down. "Ask Old Liu to send the soup to the hospital first. Tell Old Liu that I have something to do at the office today and I'll pick her up later."
When Mother Liu heard Gu Hecheng's words, she felt even more certain that Gu Hecheng probably did not care about Lin Jinya anymore. Hence, she hurriedly said, "Sir, Madam called just now."
When Gu Hecheng heard the word "Madam," his upright body leaned forward slightly, and all his movements stopped.
"Madam said that she wants to come over and see you." When Mother Liu saw that Gu Hecheng was exuding an extremely dangerous aura, she felt her teeth tremble slightly as she spoke.
Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth and suddenly put down his chopsticks. He leaned against the chair and said, "Why is she here?"
"Does she really think that the Gu family is a hotel where she can come and go as she pleases?" Gu Hecheng said coldly. "She is not allowed to come in without my permission."
After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he quickly turned around and went upstairs.
Before Mother Liu could say anything, she saw that Gu Hecheng had already entered her room.
Mother Liu had thought that since Gu Hecheng was so repulsed by her presence, he would probably leave the Gu family for the company soon. If that was the case, she would have called Shen Qianqian and told her not to come.
However, what Mother Liu did not expect was that Gu Hecheng had been in the room for a full 20 minutes. Her legs were about to go numb from standing for so long, but Gu Hecheng still did not come down.
Mother Liu carefully observed Gu Hecheng's behavior and suddenly smiled. It seemed that he was waiting for Shen Qianqian.
In the room, Gu Hecheng clenched his fists gently. For some reason, he rubbed his hands on his knees uneasily. From time to time, he would listen to the sound of cars passing by outside.
Gu Hecheng frowned. His heart was beating uncontrollably, as if a screw had fallen off a machine. He was nervous, repulsed, and uneasy, but also expectant.
This feeling tore at Gu Hecheng's heart. He could not understand why he was like this.
Gu Hecheng tried hard to suppress his emotions. He stood up and stood in front of the window. He did not know how long he had been standing there, but when he saw a taxi stop in front of the villa's entrance, his heart actually felt a little excited.
The car door opened, and a somewhat unfamiliar figure slowly emerged from the car.
She was wearing an army green trench coat, which made her face look even fairer. Her long, curly hair was draped over her shoulders. Her thin and tall figure walked slowly towards the villa.
Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes and saw that she was holding a bag in her hand. It seemed to be filled with something heavy.
Soon, Mother Liu came out of the house and opened the door for Shen Qianqian. He did not know what she said, but Shen Qianqian stood firmly in front of the door and did not take another step forward.
Mother Liu seemed to be trying to persuade her, but it was obvious that she did not succeed. Mother Liu could only hurriedly walk back alone.
When Gu Hecheng saw this, his sexy Adam's apple bobbed. He strode downstairs.
The moment Mother Liu entered the house, she saw Gu Hecheng coming downstairs. She immediately said, "Sir, Madam is back."
"I already said that she has divorced me. I don't want to hear those two words again." Gu Hecheng's cold and sharp gaze swept over Mother Liu. Mother Liu was stunned. She could only change her words with trembling lips. "Yes, I understand, Sir."
"Miss Shen is still waiting outside." Mother Liu's teeth chattered as she stuttered, "Sir, what do you think we should do? Should we let Miss Shen in, or …"
Mother Liu looked at Gu Hecheng with a troubled expression. Gu Hecheng said coldly, "Let her in."
Mother Liu secretly heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked Shen Qianqian to come in.
The moment Shen Qianqian came in, Gu Hecheng gave Mother Liu a look and gestured for Mother Liu to leave.
Mother Liu cooperated and left, leaving only Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian in the living room. It was very depressing.
Gu Hecheng stood at the top of the stairs, while Shen Qianqian stood a little closer to the front door. The two of them were so far apart that Gu Hecheng even suspected that Shen Qianqian might not be able to hear him.
"Why are you standing so far away?" Gu Hecheng curved his lips coldly. There was a look of disdain in his eyes. "Are you afraid that I will do something to you? Or are you afraid that when you see me, you won't be able to stop yourself from liking me?"
When Shen Qianqian saw that Gu Hecheng had said the word "liking" so disdainfully, she suddenly felt sorry for her past self.
Shen Qianqian straightened her back and raised her voice. "Neither. It's just that I don't think there's a need for me to walk over."
"This is the two hundred thousand dollars in the suitcase. No matter who it belongs to, I'm returning it now." Shen Qianqian stretched out her hand and flashed the two hundred thousand dollars in her bag.
Gu Hecheng's heart stopped. He had not expected that she had come to him to return the money.
Why was she so stubborn? From the beginning to the end, she had not been willing to accept a single cent from him.
Gu Hecheng's heart was in a mess. He did not know what to say. However, when he saw that Shen Qianqian stood there firmly and refused to move, he had no choice but to walk towards Shen Qianqian.
When Shen Qianqian saw that Gu Hecheng was walking towards her, there was no trace of panic or fear in her eyes. Instead, she calmly opened the bag and poured out all the money in it onto the ground.
"This is my bag, so I can't leave it here." Shen Qianqian curved her lips coldly. There was a look of satisfaction in her eyes. "As for this money, if it's yours, then don't expect me to thank you."
"After doing so many things to hurt me, are you trying to use this money to make yourself feel better?" Shen Qianqian laughed coldly. "If that's the case, then it's funny. When have you ever cared about other people's feelings? The mistakes you have done to me are far more than this. "
Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Gu Hecheng, who was walking towards her. She tensed her body and got into a defensive posture.
"Although I don't want to believe that this money was given by you, other than you, who else would make decisions for others without saying anything?" Shen Qianqian sneered as she looked at Gu Hecheng. Her hands did not stop moving.
She pulled the bag properly and looked at Gu Hecheng guardedly. "I'm here today to return the two hundred thousand dollars to you. For the past five years, you have never cared whether I was alive or dead. You don't have to care about me in the future."
Shen Qianqian's words were like a knife that stabbed mercilessly into Gu Hecheng's heart. He frowned in pain.
Gu Hecheng stood a step away from Shen Qianqian. Looking at her sad eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
That's right. His recent feelings towards Shen Qianqian were probably feelings of guilt. If not, what else could it be?
Gu Hecheng told himself this, but he did not realize that his gaze was still fixed on Shen Qianqian's face.
Gu Hecheng's undisguised gaze made Shen Qianqian uncomfortable. She looked away and said, "I'm going back."
Just as Shen Qianqian took a step forward, Gu Hecheng suddenly grabbed Shen Qianqian and pressed her against the wall by the door.
