Chapter 55 Escape
At this moment, I was feeling heavy-hearted and my thoughts were in a mess. The past with Yu Sheng kept emerging in my mind.
I picked up my phone, opened the chat window, and sent Yu Sheng a message: "I miss my parents! I want to go back and stay for a few days."
Yu Sheng quickly replied, "I can only stay for one day." Then, he sent a 1,000 yuan red envelope. "Buy something for your parents, don't go back empty-handed."
Seeing this, I responded softly: "Okay..." and then silently turned off the phone screen.
At this moment, my heart is like a turbulent sea, with all kinds of emotions surging.
However, what's more, I haven't even graduated from college yet, and he's been trying to get me to have a baby for him lately. Thinking of this, my brows furrowed tightly, and my heart was filled with resistance.
I am not the only woman he has. Although I am not jealous of her for the time being, I don’t want my child to grow up in such a complicated environment in the future.
Besides, who could have predicted how many women he would have in the future? Thinking of this, I firmly told myself: I absolutely cannot have a baby with Yu Sheng...
I didn't take a taxi, but chose to walk home. I walked for a long time. I thought about my life the whole time, and I cried as I walked. I hated my cowardly self.
At this time, Gu Yucheng stopped beside me on a high-end motorcycle.
He picked up a tissue and handed it to me. "Wipe your tears and get in the car," he said, handing me the helmet.
"Thank you! I...don't need it!" I waved my hand to refuse.
"Come up! Don't make me say it for the third time." Gu Yucheng's tone was as cold as winter frost.
I put on my helmet and got in the car.
Gu Yucheng took me to his house, which was Building No. 1 in the residential area of the government compound.
I looked up and saw that the place was guarded by armed police, and it was solemn and strict.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Your eyes are so swollen from crying. Your parents will worry about you when you go home. Come with me." Gu Yucheng pulled my wrist and walked inside again.
I followed him into the villa, and a servant saw him and bowed respectfully, calling him "Young Master".
When I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and with sharp features. He looked 80% like Gu Yucheng, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Gu Yucheng didn't even look at him. He pulled me upstairs.
Gu Zhou frowned and said unhappily, "Yucheng, don't you know how to say hello when you see me?"
Gu Yucheng looked back at him and said nothing.
Gu Zhou looked at his son, furious. His anger was about to erupt like a volcano. But he still maintained his composure and asked, "Who is she?"
Gu Yucheng remained silent and walked up the stairs.
/：.
I turned around and looked at the middle-aged man nervously and said, "Uncle, I'm from Yucheng."
Gu Zhou looked at the pretty girl, who was about the same age as his son, and didn't feel comfortable asking why she came home so late. He sat down angrily and read the newspaper.
"Gu Yucheng, where are you taking me?" I looked at Gu Yucheng, whose facial features were sharp and eyes were cold, as if there was a thousand-year-old ice hidden in his eyes.
I was full of doubts.
He took me into his room, which was clean and tidy with blue-gray sheets, just as plain as he was. He gestured for me to sit on a chair next to him.
On his bedside table is a photo of him and his mother. His mother is very gentle and generous.
On the cabinet opposite the bed is a basketball, a photo of us going to Changbai Mountain, and the police bear I gave him.
Gu Yucheng walked out and returned with some ice cubes, handing them to me. "Apply them to your eyes. Once the swelling goes down, I'll take you home."
I took the ice and said, "Thank you!"
He looked at me meaningfully and said coldly, "I brought you to my house because I have a question for you?"
"What do you want to ask?"
He looked at me sternly and asked, "Do you still like He Qingyun?"
"I don't want to say..." I remained silent.
He stared at me sharply, as if he could see through my inner world, and said, "You don't have to say it, I already know it from your expression."
I remained silent, and just quietly picked up the ice and applied it to my red and swollen eyes, trying to relieve the swelling.
He suddenly growled somewhat unhappily: "What do you like about He Qingyun?" His voice was full of dissatisfaction and anger.
I answered cautiously, "Gentle and considerate! Mainly gentle!"
However, he sneered and mocked: "Humph, he is an illegitimate child born to a prostitute, so naturally he must take on his mother's gentle temperament, so that he can be liked by others!"
Hearing him belittle He Qingyun like that, I felt displeased. I couldn't help but look up, gaze at him, and say firmly, "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. He Qingyun's gentleness is his strength, but that doesn't mean you don't have other strengths, and there's no need to belittle others like that."
Although his words were sarcastic, I tried to remain calm and not to anger him. After all, he has a hot temper and is easily impulsive.
Gu Yucheng frowned, obviously dissatisfied with what I said, "I don't need you to tell me what my advantages are."
I sighed softly and continued, "You don't have to be covered in thorns and prick others like a hedgehog. You obviously value friendship. I am very grateful for your help today!" I hoped to ease the atmosphere and express my gratitude to him by affirming his strengths.
He was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with doubt: "Do you really think so?"
I nodded without hesitation and said firmly, "Of course."
Gu Yucheng's expression eased a little, he sighed softly, and then said, "Okay, I'll take you back."
I returned home.
A little after 9 p.m., my phone suddenly rang with a crisp ringtone. A familiar name appeared on the screen: Yu Sheng. I hesitated for a moment, then finally pressed the answer button.
"Hello!" I tried to make my voice sound calm and natural.
"Are you home?" Yu Sheng asked with concern.
"Hmm!" I replied distractedly.
"Why did you confiscate the money I transferred to you?" Yu Sheng's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion.
"I forgot!" I responded nervously, trying to hide my uneasiness.
"I miss you so much when you're not by my side at night!" Yu Sheng's voice was full of longing.
Hearing this, my heart couldn't help but tremble, and I felt an inexplicable uneasiness welling up in my heart.
So I hurriedly responded: "My...parents are here, let's talk when we meet." After that, I hung up the phone in a hurry, as if this could get rid of my inner troubles.
However, after I hung up the phone, I felt even more panicked. I didn't know how to end my relationship with Yu Sheng as soon as possible.
On the other side, Yu Sheng, whose phone call was hung up by Yao Qian, had a gloomy face. He couldn't help but think to himself: Is Yao Qian avoiding me?
I didn't sleep the whole night because I just wanted to escape from Yu Sheng. I didn't want to face him or deal with him every day.
The next morning, I opened my eyes in a daze and heard my father sighing heavily.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and asked my father.
"Grandpa is sick, very seriously ill. The doctor said he may not have much time left..." There was a hint of sadness in my mother's voice.
"I want to go back to Jicheng to see grandpa." Dad's face was full of sadness and worry.
"Dad, I want to go with you." I sat up and looked at my dad seriously.
"Qianqian, you still have to go to school. Besides, it's in the countryside and the environment there is not good. If grandpa really passed away, I'm afraid you would be scared." Dad frowned and said worriedly.
"Dad, that's my grandpa! I'm not afraid, I just want to see my grandpa." I answered firmly.
"If Yao Qian wants to go, let her go. After all, she is a big kid." Mom said softly.
Finally, my father agreed to take me back. He drove me and reminded me to wear more clothes and not get sick.
I sat in the car with mixed emotions. Besides wanting to see Grandpa, I also had a selfish urge to avoid Yu Sheng.
