Chapter 13 Clothes in a Cloakroom
Gu Qingyue's eyes were filled with tears and she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed and said while suppressing the urge to cry.
"Shang Yuze, thank you."
Shang Yuze's lips curled slightly, and then he thought of something, his face slightly stiffened: "How did you know this?"
Gu Qingyue told the truth: "I heard it from Gu Jiaxin."
Shang Yuze's dark eyes were cold, his phoenix eyes half-closed, with a cold look flashing across them: "The Gu family came to see you?"
His voice was still as gentle as ever.
"No," Gu Qingyue shook her head. "Gu Jiaxin and I are from the same school. We just met by chance."
Shang Yuze gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his narrow eyes piercing. "The Gu family's funding chain has run into problems, and they've been looking for help everywhere. What are you going to do?"
Gu Qingyue blinked in confusion, and her thick and slender butterfly feathers trembled twice. She didn't understand the meaning of these words.
Shang Yuze explained: "I can help the Gu family fill the financial gap, and I can also make the Gu family disappear from Beijing from now on."
He did not take action against the Gu family because of Gu Qingyue's sake.
Gu Qingyue's expression was stunned. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about what he said.
The past flashed through my mind like a fleeting scene.
Shang Yuze did not rush her and drove quietly. Occasionally, one or two horns were heard in the silent car.
Outside the car window, the shadows of the trees swayed and a cold wind blew, making the stars in the sky hide. The stars were dim, but the moon was clear and bright like water.
Gu Qingyue's voice sounded slowly.
"After all, the Gu family raised me for eighteen years. I didn't want to be too harsh, but they drugged me and sent me to an old man's bed. I can't forgive them. As for what happened next..."
She paused for a moment and said, "Then it depends on the Gu family's luck."
During those eighteen years, the Gu family had indeed never abused her. Letting the Gu family go this time would be like severing the grace of their upbringing for so many years.
"Okay, I understand." Shang Yuze nodded and asked another question.
"Why did the Gu family adopt you?"
At that time, he only allowed to check Gu Qingyue's personal information, why she appeared in the hotel that night, and why she took Chinese medicine.
If he wanted to investigate, he could find out, but he still wanted to hear it from the little girl herself.
"Protect Gu Jiaxin from disaster." Gu Qingyue did not hide it. She was a staunch materialist and naturally did not believe in the idea of warding off disasters.
Her attention was focused on the window, and she didn't notice that the man's expression next to her changed when he said this.
Shang Yuze's eyes were cold and his pupils gradually became dark. His cold temperament was tainted with a bit of cold anger and brutality.
The cell phone rang suddenly, and he looked at the car screen distractedly. It was his subordinate Shang Zhou who opened the call. He did not avoid Gu Qingyue and directly slid down the answer button on the screen.
Shang Zhou's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Shang, the things you asked for have been delivered. Where can I find a suitable place to put them?"
Shang Yuze glanced at the girl beside him from the corner of his eye: "I bought you some clothes. Do you want to put them in your room now or when we get home?"
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's okay now."
Shang Yuze ordered: "Put it in Madam's room first."
He said the word "Madam" very smoothly. Gu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat and her face felt hot. She turned her head away in panic.
Maybe it was because the temperature inside the car was too high, but her whole face felt like it was burning.
Shang Yuze glanced at the girl's crimson earlobe, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes moving with a very subtle light.
What a shy little girl.
Quite likable.
When she returned to her bedroom, Gu Qingyue stared at her dressing room in amazement.
From small items like hairbands and hairpins to pajamas, to large items like jewelry, haute couture dresses, and new shoes of various styles... the cloakroom was almost full, and the few pieces of clothing she brought were all squeezed into the corner.
There were unopened skin care products and cosmetics on the dressing table.
Shang Yuze looked at the packed cloakroom and said unsatisfactorily, "This cloakroom is a bit small. I'll have someone make a bigger one for you later."
When Gu Qingyue moves into the master bedroom, this room will be converted into a dressing room.
Gu Qingyue waved her hands hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough, I can't wear all these clothes."
She had never bought as many clothes in her life as Shang Yuze did this time.
Shang Yuze didn't think it was a big deal and said calmly, "You don't need to wear them all, just pick the ones you like."
She is at an age when she should be appreciating beauty, but she only has two or three sets of clothes, some of which have turned white from washing.
After all, the Gu family is a well-known family in Beijing, and they are not short of money, but they are really stingy towards Gu Qingyue.
It was clearly the Gu family who asked Gu Qingyue to ward off disaster for Gu Jiaxin. Regardless of whether it worked or not, the Gu family believed it in the end, and Gu Jiaxin did grow up safely.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Qingyue is Gu Jiaxin's savior.
What happened? The Gu family treated their benefactor this way.
It is no wonder that the company is facing a financial crisis as it repays kindness with enmity.
Gu Qingyue's eyes became hot, mist gathered in them, and tears rolled down silently.
Shang Yuze saw her tears and his heart tightened suddenly. He gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingertips and asked softly, "Did I do something wrong?"
He has never been in a relationship and really has no experience in this area.
Gu Qingyue cried breathlessly and sobbed, "No, it's you who are so good to me. No one has ever been so good to me before."
It was only after she went to college that she bought herself a few decent new clothes. If she hadn't won the top spot in the imperial examination, the country and the school had given her bonuses, and the University of Tokyo hadn't waived her tuition, she would probably have had to work part-time to earn money and would not have been able to study two majors.
But even so, she didn't dare to spend money indiscriminately, so she just had enough clothes to change into, and she never bought any cosmetics.
Shang Yuze placed his hand on her head and rubbed it gently, his voice gentle: "We are husband and wife, it's my duty to treat you well."
Gu Qingyue looked at the gentle Shang Yuze, her nose felt sore and tears fell again.
Shang Yuze wiped her tears, looked at her eyes which were as red as a little rabbit, tapped her red nose with his finger, and chuckled: "Why are you so crybaby?"
Gu Qingyue didn't like what she heard. She pouted and muttered, "I didn't."
She was so touched. No one had ever been so nice to her before.
Shang Yuze pinched the tender flesh on her face: "It's getting late. You still have classes tomorrow morning. Go to bed early."
Gu Qingyue nodded with her eyes curved in smile, her long eyelashes stained with tears were wet, and in the light they looked like broken diamonds.
