Chapter 394 The Woman by the Lake
Jiuyao was concentrating very hard, observing people's words and expressions, and counting the cards. She was extremely serious.
Unfortunately, when Gu Hanye came back after the call, Jiuyao had already lost all his chips and his hair was a little messy.
"Not a cent left?" Gu Hanye raised his eyebrows.
Su Jiuyao looked up at him and smiled awkwardly, "I still owe a hundred yuan."
Gu Hanye rubbed her hair: "It's okay, I'll do it."
Su Jiuyao quietly left the stage. Alas, watching how Gu Hanye turned the tide at the small poker table, she sighed deeply. Perhaps there is still a gap between people.
Unfortunately, the money that Gu Hanye won was his own, so the few times she won just now could only be considered as a waste of time.
Su Jiuyao was in a bad mood and planned to get a glass of water to ease her depressed mood.
As they passed the entrance, a servant came in and said to Jiuyao, "Madam, there's a girl outside looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Jiuyao asked the servant as she put on her coat and walked out, "Did she tell her name?"
"No, she's pale and skinny, and she doesn't look very happy. She looks like she just ran away from home. She's wearing pajamas in this freezing weather. I told her to come in, but she refused."
Su Jiuyao immediately thought of Cheng Xiaoyu. She had called Xiaoyu these two days and felt that she was in a bad mood. When she asked her what was wrong, she said nothing was wrong.
Cheng Xiaoyu was drunk yesterday and said he wanted to come and celebrate the New Year with her, leaving Young Master Gu alone in his empty room.
Jiuyao knew that she was talking drunkenly, so she said that she had agreed to come to the old house with Gu Hanye to celebrate the New Year, and asked her to go home quickly and stop drinking.
Xiaoyu agreed at that time, but Su Jiuyao was still a little uneasy, always feeling that Xiaoyu had encountered something unpleasant.
And that girl never does things according to the rules, maybe she will really come to her now.
Thinking about this, Jiuyao left the house.
The servant brought Jiuyao to the gate of the house and asked in confusion, "She was here just now, why is she gone now?"
Jiuyao looked towards the lake and found a girl sitting on a bench. She had long hair and a thin figure, a bit like Cheng Xiaoyu.
"Over there, I'll come over."
After Su Jiuyao finished speaking to the servant, she walked through the corridor and headed towards the lake.
However, when she got closer, she found that the person was not Cheng Xiaoyu, but someone she could never have imagined.
Bai Ruolan.
She was wearing thin clothes and her hair was dry and frizzy. When she turned her head to look at Su Jiuyao, she couldn't help feeling creepy.
After not seeing her for a few months, Bai Ruolan had become so thin that she looked like a skeleton, with sunken eyes and pale complexion. She used to be bright and beautiful, but now she looked like a skinny female ghost.
Although he was full of hatred for Bai Ruolan in his heart, he couldn't help but feel some pity when he saw her like this.
Gu Hanye had said before that Bai Ruolan had gone crazy and was admitted to a mental hospital. How could she be here?
At this time, she should be wearing a hospital gown, and her shoes were a pair of large old boots that she picked up from somewhere. This made Su Jiuyao certain that Bai Ruolan must have run away from a mental hospital.
Although she didn't know how she entered the heavily guarded residential complex, Su Jiuyao knew that this person was a mental patient, so there was nothing more to say. It would be better to notify Gu Hanye as soon as possible and let him deal with it.
She turned and left, but Bai Ruolan's voice came from behind her.
"I know I'm scary right now, but I'm desperate and I'm only here to tell you. Can you please just listen to me? Please."
