Chapter 24: The Yandere CEO's Overbearing Pampering - A Narrow Escape

"Shanshan, Mom really knows she was wrong. I was misled by your father before, which is why I misunderstood you. Now I've figured it out and left your father. I sincerely want to apologize to you."

As Gu's mother spoke, she wiped away her tears.

His eyes were red and his gaze was sincere; he really looked like he had already repented.

Gu Shanshan frowned, looking at her mother's clothes. They were indeed much simpler than before.

She no longer wears gold and silver like before; she has no jewelry at all.

"Where's my dad?" Gu Shanshan asked her mother, frowning.

He didn't believe it. They had previously wanted to sell themselves to that disgusting old man Wang for fun and money, so how could they so easily realize they were wrong now?

If Gong Ye hadn't arrived in time to save him, he might have already been played to death by Boss Wang.

Gu's mother was taken aback, clearly not expecting Gu Shanshan to ask such a question.

Feeling guilty, she lowered her head, not daring to look Gu Shanshan in the eye, and answered.

“Your father has been devastated ever since he lost his company shares. He beats and scolds me every day. Your mother has realized her mistake and separated from him, so she doesn’t know much about his situation.”

"Yeah?"

Gu Shanshan's tone was doubtful, clearly indicating that she did not believe it.

However, he didn't want to continue arguing with the parents, and simply said coldly, "I accept your apology. You can leave now. I don't want to see you again."

He originally thought that these were the original owner's parents and that he would take responsibility for them, but ever since they planned to sell him, Gu Shanshan had no such intention.

Mother Gu became anxious and suddenly leaned forward with the water in her hands.

Her hands were trembling as she held the cup. "Shanshan, do you still hate your mother? You won't even drink a glass of water?"

The tone was full of accusation.

Because Gu's mother's voice was very loud, it attracted the attention of many people in the store.

Gu Shanshan was afraid that if her mother continued to pester her, she might cause some disturbance to the customers in the shop.

He could only take the water from her hand and reluctantly said, "I'll leave after I finish drinking, okay?"

Gu's mother was secretly pleased, but on the surface she still put on the appearance of a repentant and loving mother, wiping away her tears and nodding.

"Mom doesn't ask for anything, she only asks that you drink this cup of water and forgive Mom. That would make Mom very happy."

Gu Shanshan was too lazy to watch her mother's performance. She picked up the water in her cup, tilted her head back, and was about to drink it down...

Just as the water was about to enter her mouth, a white cat rushed down from the shelf and bumped into Gu Shanshan's arm.

Suddenly, my wrist hurt, and I lost my balance. The half-full glass of water crashed to the ground with a clatter.

The cup shattered into pieces, and water spilled all over the floor.

"Meow!"

The white cat that had caused the trouble jumped to the ground, looked up at Gu Shanshan, and meowed innocently.

Gu Shanshan looked at the white cat and chuckled to herself; it was a stray kitten that had wandered in from nearby.

"Damn cat!"

Just as that bitch Gu Shanshan was about to drink the water, the cat ruined the whole thing, and Gu's mother was furious and started yelling.

Gu Shanshan raised her hand to hit the cat, but grabbed her mother's hand and frowned, saying, "It didn't do it on purpose. It's just a glass of water. Is it necessary to get so angry?"

"Meow..."

The little white wildcat meowed twice more and then lowered its head to lick the water stains on the ground.

Mother Gu's face was stiff, her teeth clenched tightly, she was furious.

Gu Shanshan almost died.

Just as Gu's mother was about to say something, someone nearby suddenly screamed.

Gu Shanshan was puzzled. She let go of her mother's hand and saw a girl staring at her feet with a look of horror.

Her voice trembled as she said, "Cat...cat..."

Gu Shanshan didn't understand what had happened. She looked down blankly and saw the white cat lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and dead. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The water was poisonous.

Gu Shanshan, her face pale, glared angrily at her mother, "How dare you... ah..."

"Get out of here, you bitch!"

Before Gu Shanshan could finish speaking, her mother, whose pretense had been torn off, cursed her viciously and then shoved her away violently.

By the time Gu Shanshan stood up, holding onto the corner of the table, she could no longer see her mother's back.

"You look so pale, should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

The girl who discovered the cat was dead had already realized what was happening and found the shop manager to deal with the cat's body. Seeing that Gu Shanshan's face was extremely pale, she asked her with concern.

"Thank you, I'm fine, I'll be alright after a rest."

Gu Shanshan waved her hand, declining the girl's offer.

Looking at the water stains on the ground, my heart turned cold, and I was so scared that my whole body was trembling with cold.

At this moment, he longed to throw himself into Gong Ye's arms and tell her about his fears.

He couldn't believe that if the stray cat hadn't rushed out and knocked over the water glass in his hand, he would have been poisoned to death by now.

Unfortunately, Gong Ye had been gone for a week, and Gu Shanshan was feeling extremely depressed.

He couldn't help but wonder if Gong Ye was already tired of him.

It took Gu Shanshan a long time to calm down. Once she had recovered, she picked up her phone and made a call.

"Hello, I want to call the police."

He will no longer show mercy to those who want to poison him.

After giving her statement at the police station, Gu Shanshan returned to the Gong family home, exhausted.

Everything that happened during the day left Gu Shanshan exhausted, so she went to her room very early.

At 8 p.m., I heard the bedroom door open and assumed it was the housekeeper.

Without turning his head, he said listlessly, "Butler, you may leave. I have no further instructions."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled backward by a strong force.

The next second, I fell into a warm and generous embrace.

Gu Shanshan looked up in a panic, ready to struggle, but her eyes reddened when she saw that the person holding her was Gong Ye, who had disappeared for a week.

She immediately threw herself into Gong Ye's arms and hugged him tightly with both hands.

"Mr. Gong, sob sob... Where have you been all this time? Do you know how much I... I almost never saw you again, sob sob..."

Gu Shanshan, who had been holding back her strength, broke down all her emotions the moment she saw Gong Ye, and choked back tears as she cried.

Gong Ye held the person in his arms tightly, his eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.

He lowered his head and gently kissed away Gu Shanshan's tears, softly comforting her, "Sweetie, don't be afraid, I'm back. I'll never leave you again, never."

After Gu Shanshan called the police, someone immediately reported the whole story to Gong Ye.

Gong Ye immediately forgot about temporarily leaving Gu Shanshan and rushed back in his private jet.

As soon as he got back, he eagerly hugged his frightened baby and comforted him.

With red eyes, Gu Shanshan suddenly began to take off her clothes.

She looked at Gong Ye with pitiful eyes, "Mr. Gong, will you take me?"

That alluring appearance is enough to tempt one to commit a crime.

"As you wish."
