It rained heavily all night, and there were thunder and lightning all night, as if something terrible was happening...
Gu Xiuyuan didn't arrive until daybreak.
After getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked towards the bedroom window, but there was no light in that window, and even the lights in the guest bedroom and small study were not on.
Is there something wrong with the line again?
Startled, he quickened his pace, ran upstairs, and directly into the guest room.
The curtains were not drawn, and in the dim light from outside the window, one could see a person curled up in a ball under the quilt.
She has always been a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest noise, but this time she didn't move at all.
Is it because I am too tired, or am I awake but don’t want to pay attention to him?
"Xiao Yu, are you angry?" he asked tentatively, approaching cautiously, fearing that his sudden approach would cause her to react violently.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have broken the appointment."
The person on the bed was breathing evenly and didn't respond to his words at all. He seemed to be sleeping very soundly.
Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
At this moment, he really wanted to hug her, but when he smelled the smell of cigarettes on his body, he gave up.
She didn't like the smell of smoke, and he had just made her angry, so she definitely wouldn't like him suddenly getting close to her.
He squatted beside the bed, looked at her quietly for a while, kissed her hand gently, and then tiptoed out.
In the bathroom, he rolled up the blood-stained shirt, put it in a bag, and then threw it into the trash can.
…
When the sky was completely bright, the rain finally stopped.
The dark clouds retreated, and a hint of red appeared in the east, indicating that it would be a sunny day.
It seemed to indicate that everything had passed...
Auntie prepared breakfast, but didn't see Ji Shuyu coming downstairs. She was worried that she might be feeling unwell, so she came up to check on her.
Since she started working, she gets up very early every day.
"Sir, breakfast is ready. I'll call the young lady."
"I'll go."
After a sleepless night, his eyes were bloodshot, but he still wanted to explain to her as soon as possible.
When he pushed open the door of the guest room, the little girl was still in the same posture as when he came.
"Xiao Yu?!" He suddenly became a little worried.
She always has trouble sleeping on stormy nights. She can't sleep well even with the lights on, let alone without any lights on.
Could it be that he is sick?
He walked forward quickly, "Xiaoyu." He touched her forehead, and was relieved to make sure she didn't have a fever, then he gently pushed her, "Xiaoyu, wake up."
Ji Shuyu was shaken awake. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the man in front of her. Then she jumped up quickly to avoid his touch.
Her reaction was within Gu Xiuyuan's expectations, but it was even stronger than he had imagined.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry..." He tried to explain. "I didn't mean to break the appointment."
"I saw you go." She calmly got down the other side of the bed.
Gu Xiuyuan choked.
"Yanyan had an accident yesterday and called me for help. It was urgent, so I didn't remember to tell you."
Yanyan had an accident?
She also had an accident, but where was he at that time?
That’s all!
Ji Shuyu's calm appearance made Gu Xiuyuan a little nervous.
"The place where she had the accident was not far from your studio, so..."
Ji Shuyu looked at him. He spoke carefully, and each word he uttered was very light, but when they were put together, they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
The place where Su Yan had the accident was not far from where she had the accident.
So, when Su Yan asked for help, he went there without hesitation, but she couldn't even get through on the phone.
This is the difference...
If it wasn't Mr. He, she would have died not far from where Su Yan had the accident and she probably wouldn't even know how she died.
Gu Xiuyuan could see that her face looked unhappy, but he didn't know what he had said wrong.
"Her accident was caused by the trouble I caused. I can't just ignore it..." Gu Xiuyuan explained.
"knew."
He said a lot of explanations, but she only responded with three words.
Gu Xiuyuan's next words froze on his lips. He wanted to say that he hadn't meant to break the promise and that he would definitely make up for it tonight, but she went straight into the bathroom without stopping for a moment.
Listening to the sound of running water coming from inside, he sighed softly.
At this time, the phone rang. I looked at the bathroom and walked out.
"how's it going?"
"Miss Su is fine now, but her mood is a little unstable. The doctor gave her some sedatives, but she hasn't woken up yet."
Gu Xiuyuan nodded, "Okay, got it! Send two more people to follow the young lady today."
"I'll arrange it right away," Zhou Rui said. "Boss, the person you asked me to investigate has finally been found. Mo Chen is He Yan's recently appointed assistant at the He Group."
Gu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. "Who are you talking about?"
"He Yan."
…
Ji Shuyu was woken up by force, took a cold shower, and drank a cup of coffee downstairs before she managed to cheer up.
After a quick bite, she found a bag and planned to wash the coat she wore yesterday. When she reached out to pick up the coat, she felt a dried, somewhat hard stain on the sleeve.
She touched it carefully and her heart suddenly sank.
It's blood!
Gu Xiuyuan came down from upstairs and saw Ji Shuyu holding a men's coat in a daze.
He stepped forward and reached out to take it.
"Whose is this?" He frowned.
Last time it was a tie, this time it’s a jacket?
No, last time it was an ordinary tie, but this dress is haute couture.
Ji Shuyu just glanced at him lightly, took the coat and put it carefully into the bag.
"Ji Shuyu, I'm asking you a question." He grabbed her wrist.
She was really cold today, colder than ever before...
"What does it have to do with you?" She pulled her wrist away. "Didn't we agree not to interfere with each other?"
Gu Xiuyuan choked and then became furious.
"Ji Shuyu! You brought other men's stuff here once or twice, and you still say it has nothing to do with me?!"
Taking another man's things once or twice?
Yeah, it was the same last time.
She was nearly hit by a car, and it was the man whose name she did not know who saved her in time; her hand was injured, and it was he who bandaged her wound with his own tie.
But what about the person she loves?
Her husband, the one questioning her right now. Between rushing out of the hospital, not knowing what would happen, and Su Yan falling, she chose Su Yan.
Yesterday, it was the same again.
She watched him walk away from her without even giving her a chance to ask for help. Now, she confidently questioned who saved her?
"I'm asking you a question!"
"Didn't I give you an answer?" Ji Shuyu asked calmly.
“…”
"I don't care why you stayed out all night, but please don't bother me either." She sneered and broke free from his hand.
"Auntie, I'm having dinner with my colleagues tonight, so you don't have to prepare dinner for me." She said as she picked up her coat and went out.
Gu Xiuyuan was extremely angry. He took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm, snatched the coat bag and threw it on the ground.
Snap...
The bag fell to the ground and the clothes slipped out.
Ji Shuyu closed her eyes, steadied her breathing, and told herself not to quarrel, not to argue with him. However, the way she suppressed her anger was undoubtedly a kind of irritation to Gu Xiuyuan...
