After changing his shoes and walking out of the house, Gu Yusheng stood on the steps, seemingly attracted by the garden full of flowers in the backyard.
He thought of the beautiful scene he had imagined yesterday afternoon: fireworks, lights, and the original song of "The End," which she liked.
He was really moved. That was why he was so attentive.
Gu Yusheng's nose began to ache. He quickly withdrew his gaze, walked quickly to the car, opened the door, and got in.
As if he was afraid of something, he quickly started the car, turned it around, and drove away from the villa.
The traffic on the road was extremely congested.
Gu Yusheng didn't want to go to the company, nor did he want to see his friend. He drove with the flow of traffic, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, for more than half an hour, and finally stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel.
He got out of the car, threw the car key to the doorman, and took the elevator to the suite on the top floor where he usually lived.
He drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and made the room completely dark. Then he lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep.
…
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't know how long she had been lying in bed. She seemed to be asleep, but she also seemed to be awake. From time to time, she could hear birds chirping outside the window, the dog barking next door, and the distant whistling sound.
On the way, she wanted to turn over, but all the bones in her body seemed to be broken, and the pain was like being run over by a car. In the end, she could only give up and stay in the original position, lying blind.
In a daze, Qin Zhi 'ai heard a series of chimes from the grandfather clock downstairs. It seemed to be ten, but also seemed to be eleven. She slowly opened her eyes.
The light in the room was not on, and it was completely dark.
She turned her head and looked out of the window. There was a dim light in the courtyard shining into the room through the window.
It's already midnight …
She didn't feel hungry, just a little thirsty, even though she hadn't eaten all day.
She struggled to get up from the bed, staggered, and went downstairs.
The housekeeper's husband had passed away two years ago. Today was the anniversary of her husband's death, so she had returned to her hometown.
She was the only one in the villa. It was quiet and empty. When she walked, the whole room echoed with her footsteps.
The dining room was a little messy. When Gu Yusheng had kicked the table, he had knocked over the vase, and the water had spilled all over the table. The bouquet of fresh flowers that she had picked in the garden the night before was scattered all over the table. Because there was no water, they were all wilted.
Qin Zhi 'ai drank some water, dragged her tired body, and pushed the table back to its original place. She picked up the flowers, threw them into the trash can, and wiped the table with a rag. Then she glanced at the refrigerator, paused for a moment, walked forward, opened the door, and took out all the dishes she had cooked last night. She threw them into the trash can, washed the tableware, and put them back in their original places.
She didn't leave the house until the dining room and kitchen were restored to their original state. She threw the garbage into the trash can and went back upstairs.
Qin Zhi 'ai seemed to have exhausted all her strength after packing for a while. She fell onto the bed and started to lie like a corpse again.
…
At the same time, in the Jiang family.
Jiang Qianqian had just finished showering. When she came out of the bathroom, her cell phone on the bed rang with a series of WeChat notifications.
Jiang Qianqian frowned, dropped the towel in her hand, and walked to the bed to pick up the cell phone.
