Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard it with her own ears.
Zhou Chunhua stared blankly at the bustling construction site across the street, her eyes slowly blurring.
"Honey? Do you like it here? If you do, we can sign the contract and buy it today."
Gu Yao held her hand and tightened his grip slightly before she came to her senses.
"Huh?" Gu Yao and the saleswoman were both staring at her.
Zhou Chunhua felt even more panicked when she sensed the strange look in the saleswoman's eyes.
Just as she was wondering how to respond, Gu Yao suddenly smiled and said, "It seems my wife likes it very much. Sign it."
The saleswoman's attention immediately shifted away from her.
Gu Yao suddenly let go of her hand and called the saleswoman to the side.
Zhou Chunhua's mind was filled with thoughts of what she liked and what signature to make.
Three minutes later, she realized what had happened.
"Gu..." The word "Lu" almost slipped out, but she quickly corrected herself and called out to Gu Yao, "Darling, my dear."
Gu Yao, who was signing documents with his head down, suddenly looked up.
Their eyes met, and Gu Yao's burning gaze gave her goosebumps.
Zhou Chunhua stepped forward, avoiding eye contact, while Gu Yao smiled and approached.
He glanced at the saleswoman, making sure he was at a distance where she wouldn't hear, before lowering his voice and saying, "What...what are you signing? You can't really buy this apartment, can you?"
Even if she worked 24 hours a day, she still couldn't afford to live in this small house.
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Yao's smile widened, and he suddenly grabbed her hand.
Zhou Chunhua tried to pull her hand back, only to find that Gu Yao was holding her too tightly and she couldn't move at all.
"Mrs. Gu, is there anything you're not satisfied with about this building? Don't worry, we have a professional design team to communicate with you and we're sure you'll be satisfied."
As Zhou Chunhua racked her brains trying to find a suitable reason to refuse, Gu Yao suddenly pulled her to sit down at a small table.
"It's worth any price if you like it." With that, he handed the purchase contract in front of him to the saleswoman.
The little girl's red lips stretched almost to the back of her ears with a smile. After saying a lot of flattering and polite things, she saw her and Gu Yao into the car.
Zhou Chunhua sat in the passenger seat with a worried expression. Only after the saleswoman was out of sight in the rearview mirror did she speak: "Attorney Gu, this building..."
"If I want a divorce, I absolutely have to buy this building." Gu Yao stared intently ahead.
"But I..."
"I signed the document, why would I ask you to provide it? Don't worry, the Yunxijian property holds its value well. After your case is over, I can sell it and make a profit."
"Really?" She knew absolutely nothing about real estate developments. But she didn't want Gu Yao to lose money on this.
After leaving the villa area, Gu Yao's car suddenly stopped in front of a pharmacy, and he got out and went straight into the pharmacy.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to get off the bus, Gu Yao came out of the pharmacy carrying a small plastic bag.
I got on the bus.
"hand."
"ah?"
Gu Yao glanced at her and suddenly pulled her hand over.
Then Zhou Chunhua watched helplessly as he applied the ointment to her hands.
A cooling sensation spread from the back of my hand, quickly relieving the swelling and discomfort in my joints.
Zhou Chunhua quickly thanked her and withdrew her hand.
"This medicine is very good. I'll transfer the money to you."
Zhou Chunhua, busy looking down at her phone, didn't notice the disappointment in Gu Yao's eyes.
"I bought it with my medical insurance card, so I don't know how much it cost. By the way, your hand doesn't look like it was injured in an accident."
Zhou Chunhua awkwardly changed the subject.
"I'm sorry to have troubled Lawyer Gu with the expense."
“Ms. Zhou, we’re teammates now! If we don’t even trust each other, how can we get along in the future?” Gu Yao suddenly became serious.
Zhou Chunhua was caught off guard.
She just didn't understand how this had anything to do with trust.
She couldn't very well tell Gu Yao directly that she planned to commit domestic violence until Liao Nanxing treated her like a plague and sent her away.
Besides, saying that would be a tacit way of saying she doesn't believe Gu Yao can help her win the divorce case, wouldn't it?
"Yes, they hit me, and I fought back, which is why I'm like this."
Zhou Chunhua wasn't sure if she had said something wrong, but Gu Yao's face was so cold.
She even saw Gu Yao make a small gesture by pressing his tongue against his teeth for the first time.
Strangely, Gu Yao didn't say anything, but started the car and continued forward.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the temperature inside the car was a little lower than before.
"Um... I can take the bus back by myself."
Gu Yao remained silent.
The car finally stopped after a long time.
But... why did Gu Yao send her back to Nana's place again?
He even opened the door for her, just like before.
Zhou Chunhua didn't know what to say, so she obediently got out of the car, thanked them as usual, and then walked towards the elevator.
Gu Yao stood by the car door without moving until she stepped into the elevator and the elevator doors closed, at which point she heard the car start.
Never mind! I'll go back tomorrow morning.
...
In the parking lot.
Gu Yao took out his phone, found Liao Nanxing's number, and then pressed dial.
"Hello." Liao Nanxing's voice came from the phone.
He held the phone to his ear.
Where are you? Let's meet!
"Meet?"
“Yes. We’d better meet about Ms. Zhou and your matter.” As soon as Gu Yao said this, footsteps could be heard from the other end of the phone, and the surrounding noise disappeared.
It sounds like Liao Nanxing moved from a crowded place to a less crowded one.
