Chapter 907: The Pretender
When the servant came out, he saw Gu Wanqiu squatting on the ground, staring at the road outside and crying.
She cried silently, with only slight sobs coming from her nose. The servant squatted on the ground, wiped her tears with a tissue, and patiently coaxed her: "My dear lady, wait until the sun sets in the sky, and Mr. Li will be back. Will you come back with me?"
Gu Wanqiu buried her face in her arms, like a rabbit trying to protect itself. After a long while, she muffled her response: "Not good."
"But if you stay here all the time, Mr. Li will be unhappy when he comes back. He will scold us and ignore you."
Gu Wanqiu shrank her shoulders and finally raised her red eyes: "I'll wait for him here... Will he really be angry?"
"Yeah." The servant thought to herself, let's trick Gu Wanqiu in first. As for the consequences, that will happen later. Besides, Gu Wanqiu is so stupid now that she doesn't know that she is lying to her.
"You just came out and knocked over the bowl, making the floor dirty. President Li hates people who waste food the most. Let's go back and clean up together, okay? Also, have you seen the flowers President Li prepared for you this morning?"
After hearing the servant's words, Gu Wanqiu finally reacted. She looked at the road, bit her lower lip, then held the servant's hand tightly and stood up with the help of force.
"Then let's go back. I don't want to upset him. I need to go back and clean up. I also want to see the flowers he gave me."
Seeing that Gu Wanqiu finally obeyed, the servants and the doorman breathed a sigh of relief.
After Gu Wanqiu entered, the servant immediately locked the door
After Gu Wanqiu entered, she actually started to clean up the mess beside the coffee table. She used a tissue to wipe up the sticky porridge, and her hands made it all over the place. The most difficult thing to deal with were the rice grains and cake cream on the carpet.
When the servant saw this, she quickly brought the cleaning tools and asked Gu Wanqiu to sit aside. How could she let her do such dirty work? If Li Jinxing saw her, she might lose her job.
"Miss, where are the flowers Mr. Li sent you? Do you want to go and see them?"
“The flowers are upstairs.”
Of course she knew that Hua was upstairs. She said this to remind Gu Wanqiu and also to trick her into going upstairs to rest.
"Then go upstairs and look at the flowers. Your lunch has been spilled. I'll bring you some up later, okay?"
"I'm not hungry. I'm full."
"Then wait until two or three in the afternoon, after you finish your nap, I'll bring you cake and milk tea."
Gu Wanqiu looked at her dirty hands, nodded blankly, and went upstairs obediently without asking anyone to see her off.
There were only two or three people in the villa. After lunch, the entire manor seemed extremely quiet from inside to outside. There was nothing to do, so the chefs and servants went to rest.
Gu Wanqiu should have been taking a nap in the room at this time, holding a red camellia in her hand.
The beautiful camellia made her hands look even uglier. Her wrist was still injured. It was not easy to heal after being stepped on. It would take a hundred days to heal the broken bones. Her left hand, which originally wore a watch, now had steel needles embedded in it to fix the bone growth.
The pair of eyes that were once red with grievance downstairs now only had indifference. She lowered her head and muttered numbers in her mouth.
I counted from one to two thousand without checking the time. Just by counting, I could tell that more than half an hour had passed.
Gu Wanqiu put down the flowers in her hand, took out a roll of transparent tape from the drawer of the wardrobe, and carefully hid it in her hand. She ignored all the surveillance cameras in the corridor, trotted all the way to the study, and leaned against the door.
She scratched the door handle, as if trying to get in through there. She seemed to have turned into the silly and slightly neurotic fool she was just now. She seemed to be tired of scratching, so she leaned against the door with her upper body pressed against it.
It was November, and winter had already arrived. Gu Wanqiu could not stand the slightest bit of cold. Once she felt cold, her bones would ache badly, especially her fingers. However, her hands were naturally not easy to warm, so even if the heating was on in the room, she had to wear thick and clumsy clothes.
The whole dress was very loose, and she was pressed against the door. From the surveillance camera, it was impossible to tell what she was doing. I just thought she was anxiously looking for something, and was helpless facing the closed door from outside.
In fact, she was using transparent tape to remove the fingerprints on it, and there was no trace of confusion in her eyes.
After carefully putting away the tape, Gu Wanqiu turned around, her eyes still red and misty. She squatted down and curled up on the ground like she did when she was waiting for Li Jinxing here that day. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there before she fell asleep in a daze.
She still had nightmares, dreaming that she was running in the rain and Gu Chaodong's figure appeared in the dark cemetery. She tried hard to run close to him, and when she was about to touch him, she was bounced back by an invisible force.
In the darkness, a hand reached out, grabbed her ankle, and dragged her into a deep mud pit.
Gu Wanqiu woke up from her dream with tears falling heavily. She told herself to be patient and everything would be fine after a while.
She didn't know how to love Li Jinxing, so she learned to love her the way Li Jinxing loved her. She made herself crazy and sometimes acted so well that even she couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Only when Gu Wanqiu, who has been stimulated and turned into a fool, suddenly "falls in love" with Li Jinxing, will Li Jinxing believe it and let down his guard.
Li Jinxing didn't know that every night when she slept in the same bed with him, curled up in his arms, and listened to his heartbeat, she wanted to take a knife to peel open the flesh on his chest, pull out the beating heart inside and crush it with her own hands.
She choked with sobs, hugged her knees, like a child without a home: "Li Jinxing, I miss you so much... Why don't you come back..."
