Chapter 795 Fiancée Turns into Maid
"Not even a day?" Before she could finish speaking, Gong Lian interrupted her abruptly, "Not even a day, and you think he'd help you this much? Turn you from a homeless woman into someone who can afford to live in a Bulgari? Who are you trying to fool?"
Did she think he was so easily fooled?
Xu Chen helped her so much, from finding her a place to stay to paying her hospital bills. He helped her with almost everything he could, he was practically offering himself up as well...
This is nothing?
Wen Qingyi didn't understand why he wouldn't believe her: "Ah Lian, we're engaged. Since you agreed to let me come back to you, you should trust me. Otherwise, how can we continue like this?"
If he wants her back in his life, he should give her the respect and trust she deserves, instead of constantly suspecting her of having ties with other men.
“It is precisely because we were engaged that I know what kind of woman you are, and that makes it even more important for me to find out about your past with him.” Gong Lian’s gaze was no longer filled with the love he once had, but rather with a hint of caution: “Wen Qingyi, you will not be able to come back to my side until you explain yourself clearly.”
"So you'd better tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you and him? And how long have you been doing this?"
His tone was skeptical, as if he were certain there was something between her and Xu Chen, and insisted that she give an answer.
Wen Qingyi felt insulted and was somewhat angry: "Gong Lian! I'm not your prisoner. Since you've agreed to let me come back to you, does the past really matter? I've told you that I have nothing to do with him. I just see him as an older brother. Are you satisfied now?"
I kept asking her questions and questioning her, insisting that she give me a reason.
If she returns to his side, will they truly recapture their sweet past? Why does she feel that Gong Lian now is not the same as before?
Before, the way he looked at her was full of love, so sweet it seemed to overflow. But now?
There was nothing inside, but rather a sense of caution and meticulousness, as if he was afraid that she would encroach on his interests!
"Since he's your older brother, from today onwards, you must completely cut off all contact with him! You are not allowed to have any more dealings with him!" Gong Lian gave her a direct order, not caring whether she agreed or not: "Only in this way will I be willing to believe you."
He tried to trust her one more time. If she dared to repeat the mistakes of the past, he would make her go back to where she came from!
Moreover, she won't get away until she pays off all the debts she owes Sang Ruo and him!
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyi hesitated for a moment, cautiously probing, "Can't we even meet occasionally? Or make a phone call? Is that not allowed either?"
She could understand why he did this, but wasn't it a bit too cold-hearted?
Moreover, she hadn't informed Xu Chen at all, nor had she explained the reason. What would she tell Xu Chen if he asked?
After all, Xu Chen had helped her so much, and she was genuinely reluctant to completely sever all ties with him.
"What, you still can't let go?" Gong Lian seemed to have seen through all her thoughts and coldly retorted, "If you can't let him go, then please go back to his side. Why are you still looking for me?"
What she was reluctant to part with were probably all the benefits Xu Chen had given her, such as booking her a room at the Bulgari Hotel and paying her hospital bills...
All the money spent on her was real and without any ulterior motive, which is far more valuable than any kind of love.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
Seeing that he seemed about to retract his decision, Wen Qingyi quickly intervened, "No! That's not what I meant. I just feel that before I completely cut off all contact with him, I should give him an explanation, otherwise he'll think I'm being unreasonable..."
"No need." Gong Lian interrupted without thinking, "Your purpose in getting close to him was impure. You might as well give him a chance to think it over. As for you, I will handle your discharge procedures. After you are discharged, come home with me."
This time, however, when he took her back, it wasn't as his fiancée anymore; all the previous benefits were gone.
Wen Qingyi didn't understand his implied meaning. Seeing that he was willing to take her back, she immediately nodded.
After the two talked it out, Gong Lian went downstairs to the payment window to process her discharge procedures, and then took her luggage back to the Gong family home.
The Gong family's butler had made thorough preparations and stood at the door to welcome their return.
"Mr. Gong, you're finally back." The butler kindly opened the car door for him: "I've had the room you requested cleaned up; you can move in right away."
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian turned to Wen Qingyi and said, "Come on, let me show you the room."
Wen Qingyi was a little confused, but she still followed him out of the car and walked into the Gong family villa. Gong Lian led her to a side bedroom downstairs: "This will be your room from now on."
This side bedroom is located between the kitchen and the bathroom, directly below the stairs. It used to be a storage room, and now it has a bed and a wardrobe. There isn't even a bedside table, let alone a window.
Moreover, it faces the living room directly, with the downstairs bathroom to the left and the open kitchen to the right, making it incomparable to the rooms she used to live in.
Wen Qingyi found it hard to accept: "Ah Lian, didn't you say you agreed to let me come back to your side? Then why won't you let me live with you? The conditions here are too rudimentary, aren't they? Butler, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
The housekeeper looked puzzled: "Miss Wen, there's no mistake. Mr. Gong instructed me to have this room cleaned and that he also added a lot of new furniture."
The new furniture refers to that bed and that small wardrobe.
That's all.
“The housekeeper is not mistaken. I brought you back not so you could come here to enjoy yourself.” Only now did Gong Lian reveal her position in the family: “You came back to do my work.”
Working?
What kind of work do you do?
Wen Qingyi was a little confused by his meaning: "What kind of work? Don't we have servants and a housekeeper at home? Is there any important work that I need to do?"
Clearly, she still thought this job was temporary.
But in reality, Gong Lian said, "You're just one of the maids! Otherwise, why do you think I brought you back? How can you come back to me if you don't pay back the money you owe Second Young Master Xu?"
“I’ve done the calculations. The hotel accommodation and hospital fees that Young Master Xu spent on you totaled 5.31 million. Subtract the 310,000 change, and you can return 5 million to me.”
