"Jinyang, you must be tired. Have a good rest." Gu Hecheng reached out and put his hand on Lin Jinya's shoulder hesitantly.
"I won't!" Lin Jinya didn't want to suppress her feelings anymore. She hugged him and rested her head on his chest.
"Hecheng, you said that you liked me and would take care of me for the rest of my life." Lin Jinya started sobbing. "And the reason I ended up like this is all because of Shen Qianqian. Don't you remember?!"
"Shen Qianqian almost killed me. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have saved me!" She shook Gu Hecheng hard and said, "Don't you remember? And she stabbed me with a knife last time. Don't you remember? How can you care about Shen Qianqian?"
Lin Jinya grabbed Gu Hecheng's arm tightly and looked at Gu Hecheng with tears and snot running down her face. "How can you say that in front of me?"
Her words were like a hammer that fell on his chest and interrogated his heart.
A gloomy expression slowly appeared on Gu Hecheng's handsome face.
He knew all this, but love was like spilled water. It was difficult to take it back.
He had given his heart to Shen Qianqian and couldn't get it back. Even though she had obviously done a lot of bad things, he wanted to doubt her, understand her and even save her.
As for Lin Jinya, he had waited for five years. It was as if he had made a promise in his heart. Because she had suffered so much, he had to treat her well. Whether it was out of pity or because he wanted to repay Shen Qianqian's debt, he couldn't leave her alone now.
"Jinyang, I know what you're saying." Gu Hecheng tried to make his voice sound as gentle as possible. He held her shoulders and said, "I also know all the pain you've suffered, so I'll treat you well. You don't have to doubt this."
"As long as it's what you want, I'll do it for you." He patted Lin Jinya's shoulders and pulled her into his arms. He couldn't help but sigh softly.
After Lin Jinya was sent upstairs, Gu Hecheng came downstairs absent-mindedly.
Mother Liu, who had been watching the entire process, couldn't help but sneak up and whisper to him, "Sir, I have something to tell you."
Gu Hecheng was stunned.... He watched as Mother Liu glanced upstairs cautiously and walked towards the garden outside...
Under the bright lights, Gu Hecheng and Mother Liu stood facing each other.
Mother Liu rubbed her hands and said, "Sir, after listening to Miss Lin's words, although I don't know what happened back then, I believe that Miss … Miss Shen would never do such a thing."
"Why?" Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Mother Liu thoughtfully.
"Sir, you haven't been home all these years, but I've been living with Miss Shen every day," Mother Liu said firmly. "Miss Shen would never do such a thing."
"She's gentle and kind. She's good at taking care of people and is always considerate of others. Even if you didn't come home at that time, Miss Shen would always tell herself that you were too busy." Mother Liu sighed and suddenly realized that she had said something wrong.
Mother Liu looked nervously at Gu Hecheng's expression. She realized that he only frowned slightly and didn't blame her.
"Anyway, I don't believe that Miss Shen would do anything to repay Miss Lin. Miss Lin, on the other hand …" Mother Liu thought about how Gu Hecheng had always been protective of Lin Jinya. She didn't want to say what was on her mind, so she just said, "She has a bad temper and likes to nitpick."
Gu Hecheng's eyes darkened. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He just said calmly, "Okay, Mother Liu. Go and get some rest."
After that, he ignored Mother Liu and drove out.
There were almost no cars on the national highway at night. Gu Hecheng stepped on the accelerator and sped on the road to make himself feel better.
The next morning, Lin Jinya called out to Gu Hecheng, who was about to go to work.
"Hecheng, I've been resting for almost a month. I don't want to stay at home any longer. I'll go to work with you," Lin Jinya smiled gently at Gu Hecheng as if nothing had happened last night.
Lin Jinya saw that he was hesitating and frowned. She immediately blinked and said, "I feel that I'm going to get sick from staying at home all day. When I'm free, I tend to think too much. I'm a girl. You know that thinking too much can affect a relationship."
Gu Hecheng felt that her words made sense when he saw how sincere she was.
Even though he was worried that she might cause more trouble if she went to work and found out where Shen Qianqian worked, he was worried that she might cause more trouble.
However, on second thought, if she really wanted to cause trouble, she could go to Shen Qianqian even if she didn't go to the company. He might as well keep an eye on her. That was better than not knowing anything.
"Okay, come with me. I'll wait for you in the car." Gu Hecheng took the keys and went out. She immediately stood up from the dining table and rushed upstairs.
Gu Hecheng's car finally left the Gu family's house. Mother Liu watched them leave in pairs and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"It seems that I wasted my words yesterday." Mother Liu couldn't help shaking her head. She couldn't figure out what Gu Hecheng was thinking.
In the exhibition hall of Weihai Luxury Mansion, Shen Qianqian was sorting out the documents at the front desk. Her hand that was flipping through the brochures suddenly paused and she looked up abruptly.
Jiang Di should be back from his business trip today. Shen Qianqian felt that she had to seize the opportunity today to tell him about her resignation.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, a slightly greasy and fat man came in from outside.
He walked up to the front desk and asked a few questions. The female employee, Xiaoyi, came out to greet him.
Xiaoyi didn't say much before she asked him to wait there. Then, she hurriedly took the documents and went to find Shen Qianqian.
"Qianqian …" Xiaoyi patted her a little cautiously. She pointed at the man who just came in and said, "Can you help me with that client? I just remembered that I have an appointment with a client coming in soon. Other people don't have time either. "
Shen Qianqian looked up and saw that there were quite a lot of guests in the exhibition hall. She didn't think too much about it and agreed to her request.
"Hello, sir." Shen Qianqian sat down across from the man. She flipped through the documents and asked, "Is this your first time here?"
"No!" Before she could finish speaking, the man waved his hand arrogantly and said, "I've been here twice. I think this project is quite good. I want to buy a villa. I've also done my research. If it's possible, I'll sign the contract today."
His words stunned Shen Qianqian at first. She looked him up and down a few times. He didn't really look like a rich person. She felt like she could see the lack of confidence in his eyes.
But when she saw how resolute he was when he spoke, she felt that he might be a nouveau riche.
Shen Qianqian finally stopped thinking about it. She stood up and said politely, "Then, sir, please wait here for a moment. I'll go get the contract."
Before she could take a step, the man suddenly said, "Hey, wait a minute. It's such a big contract. You're going to sign it here?"
Shen Qianqian looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean, sir?"
The man suddenly laughed, the muscles on his face piling up.
"I don't like noisy environments like this. You might think that I'm putting on a show, but no matter what you say, I just feel that it's a bit disrespectful for me to sign it here." The man crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa like a ruffian, looking at her.
The man's gaze made Shen Qianqian feel a sense of disgust. She narrowed her eyes. After carefully sizing him up, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then, sir, please follow me here. We have a professional discussion room."
Shen Qianqian pointed towards the office not far away. The man stood up and followed her in.
"Aren't you going to close the door?" The man glanced outside.
Shen Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but still decided to close the door. When she turned around, her gaze fell on an inkstone.
The atmosphere clearly felt a little strange, but she couldn't explain it clearly. Although she was a little nervous, she still mustered the courage to step forward and say, "Sir, this is our contract. You can take a look at it first. Which villa did you choose? I'll calculate the price for you."
Shen Qianqian placed the documents one by one on the coffee table in front of him. However, when she looked up at the man, she saw that he was looking at her with a wretched expression, which made her stomach churn.
She tried to calm herself down and looked at him without saying a word.
The man sensed the coldness in her gaze. He suddenly revealed a wretched smile and said, "Miss Shen, don't tell me you don't know the unspoken rules here at all?"
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about." Shen Qianqian had no choice but to pretend that she didn't understand. However, she had already slowly stood up and stood beside the coffee table.
After Shen Qianqian stood up, she didn't step back. This made the man think that she was asking the obvious and was playing hard to get.
Her actions made the man relax his vigilance. He still leaned lazily on the sofa and said, "Who doesn't know what you do? Don't pretend that you don't understand."
"Today, as long as you agree to play with me once, I promise to sign my name immediately." As the man spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes revealing a disgusting light.
Shen Qianqian didn't expect that the man in front of her would put such disgusting words on the table. She frowned and refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. If you want to buy the house or not, it's up to you."
