After Gu Jingchen got into the car, he turned to look at Su Ning, whose head was resting against the window, and reached out his hand to place it between her and the glass as she raised her head.

In this way, Su Ning's head could only hit her palm.

He continued this action until they got back. After getting out of the car, he moved his sore and numb hands, then went over to open the door and picked up Su Ning.

Before the maid had gone downstairs to her room, she saw them return and went to open the master bedroom door, but Gu Jingchen stopped her, saying, "Guest bedroom."

The maid was taken aback. Seeing Gu Jingchen carrying Su Ning back, she naturally assumed the two were going to sleep together in the master bedroom. Then she thought about it—what man would willingly sleep with a disabled woman in his arms?

She glanced coldly at Su Ning in Gu Jingchen's arms, went over to open the door to the guest room, and then left.

Gu Jingchen gently placed Su Ning on the bed. As he stood up to leave, a hand reached out and grabbed his pants.

Gu Jingchen turned his head and saw Su Ning slightly open her eyes, looking at him. "Gu Jingchen, do you know how much I hate you?"

She spoke softly, each word striking Gu Jingchen's heart like a hammer blow.

Perhaps his heart ached too much, Gu Jingchen seemed frozen in place, standing motionless in front of the bed, gazing at the drunk Su Ning.

He waited for her to continue, then continued to berate himself.

But no!

Apart from that one sentence, she just looked at him calmly and didn't say anything else!

They stared at each other for an unknown amount of time until Su Ning closed her eyes and turned her head to look in the other direction. Only then did Gu Jingchen lift his foot and turn to leave the guest room.

After the person left, the surroundings became very quiet. Su Ning slowly opened her eyes, smiled with her lips pursed. Now, even turning over in bed was a difficult thing for her.

Gu Jingchen, do you know? I have nothing left! Nothing at all!

Su Ning was off work that day. She got up early to revise the design draft, but before she could even start writing, she received a call from Chen Ma of the Su family.

"Miss Ning, the old master has fainted. Do you have time to come back to the Su residence to visit him?"

"Grandpa fainted?" Su Ning asked as she pushed her stroller out of the house while answering the phone. In the living room, the maid was cleaning. Gu Jingchen and his family had just left because of something.

"I'm coming right away."

After hanging up the phone, she told the maid, "Arrange a car for me to go to the Su family's house."

The busy maid slowed down her work and said reluctantly, "The driver is with the Gu family. Madam, you'd better take a taxi yourself."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced down at Su Ning's legs, which were resting on the wheelchair. "Oh, right, Madam, your legs aren't very convenient. Most people wouldn't be able to sit like that. I can't carry you to the car either, so perhaps..."

"How about I call Mr. Gu and ask him to come back?" Su Ning said in a cold voice.

Normally, Su Ning would turn a blind eye to how the servants treated her, too lazy to bother with it. But now she had something urgent to do and needed to get back to the Su family, and she couldn't stand the servants' contempt and ridicule.

"Mr. Gu himself dislikes you, do you think he'll come back just because you ask him to?"

The maid scoffed, but seeing Su Ning's cold and sullen face, she was still afraid that Su Ning would complain to Gu Jingchen, so she reluctantly took out her phone and called the driver to come back and pick up Su Ning.

Su Ning went downstairs to wait, and soon the driver came and pushed her into the car to go to the Su family home.
