Chapter 14: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - He's Already Escaped
Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Shanshan stopped in her tracks.
He thought to himself, "Oh no!"
The joy on his face slowly faded. With his back to the newcomer, he glanced nervously at Jiang Ziheng not far ahead.
Jiang Ziheng had his back to himself and was wearing a baseball cap.
Gu Shanshan was sober that Jiang Ziheng didn't turn around, otherwise he would have been exposed.
"Gu Shanshan, why aren't you saying anything?"
The person behind him frowned and spoke up in displeasure.
That familiar voice clearly belonged to his older brother, Gu Linfeng.
No, he must not panic, and he must not reveal any flaws.
We must not let Gu Linfeng inform Gong Ye.
Gu Shanshan took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and adjusted her facial expression.
He turned his head, revealing a calm expression, and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Gu Linfeng frowned as he looked at Gu Shanshan, then glanced around.
Instead of answering Gu Shanshan's question, he questioned him in an unhappy tone.
"Shanshan, what are you doing here? Where is Mr. Gong?"
He was also thinking that with Gong Ye around, he could use Gu Shanshan's older brother's name to get some benefits from Gong Ye.
The Gong family is large and powerful; if they were to give him a project, the profits from it would be enough to feed him for a year.
Gu Shanshan glanced at her phone; there was still some time before boarding.
To prevent Gu Linfeng from seeing Jiang Ziheng, he grabbed Gu Linfeng's hand without saying a word and dragged him into the nearby restroom.
"Hey, Gu Shanshan, what are you doing? Why are you dragging me into the bathroom?"
When they got to the restroom, Gu Linfeng pushed Gu Shanshan's hand away unhappily, his eyes filled with disdain.
Gu Shanshan withdrew his hand. Even if Gu Linfeng didn't push him away, he would still let go of Gu Linfeng.
She held the hand of a scumbag's son, but he thought it was dirty.
He crossed his arms in front of him and then made up an excuse.
"Gong Ye doesn't want me to have any contact with the Gu family. I was afraid he would be unhappy, so I had to pull you into the bathroom to talk."
Upon hearing Gong Ye's name, Gu Linfeng's displeasure vanished.
"So you came with Mr. Gong. Where is he? I don't see him."
He asked casually, not caring where Gong Ye was, and even less daring to approach Gong Ye.
Therefore, without waiting for Gu Shanshan to speak, he said again with dissatisfaction.
"Shanshan, you are still a member of the Gu family, your father's son, and my brother. Now that the Gu family is in trouble, how can you sit idly by?"
The tone of the reprimand was as if Gu Shanshan had done something wrong.
Gu Shanshan frowned and stared at Gu Linfeng.
He never imagined that there could be such a shameless person in the world.
"Gu Linfeng, get this straight. Don't think that just because I call you 'Big Brother,' you're really my big brother. The Gu family's affairs have nothing to do with me."
Gu Linfeng's expression changed when his usually weak and easily bullied younger brother dared to contradict him.
But now that Gu Shanshan is Gong Ye's person, he wants to fight but doesn't dare to.
If it were before, if Gu Shanshan dared to talk to him like that, he would have slapped her to death long ago.
For the sake of money, I had no choice but to speak politely.
"Yes, I know you must have been unhappy that Dad asked Mr. Gong for 20 million last time, but there was nothing we could do about it. The family is really in dire straits right now, and that 20 million is gone. The company can't even pay its employees' salaries now."
He added, "Go back and coax Mr. Gong to give the Gu family another 30 million to solve En's immediate crisis."
Twenty million?
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan's face showed a look of shock.
When exactly did Gong Ye give the money to the Gu family behind my back?
What does that money count for? Is it for buying his body?
What do they take him for? A toy they bought with money?
He roared in a fit of rage, "You demanded 20 million from Gong Ye! You sold me to Gong Ye!"
Gu Shanshan's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of others in the restroom.
Gu Linfeng, who considered himself a person of status, was being looked at with condemnation in public and was being reprimanded harshly with an ugly expression.
"Are you crazy? Why are you yelling so loudly? Aren't you ashamed!"
"Ha, you weren't ashamed when you sold me for money?"
Gu Shanshan felt that her family was really awful, and she was so angry that she wanted to strangle them.
"Gu Shanshan, how can you talk to your older brother like that? You have no manners at all. You are truly a worthless bastard who was born of a mother but raised without one. You have no manners at all."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan was so angry that she laughed.
He said sarcastically, "Gu Linfeng, get this straight. You're an illegitimate child born to a mistress. What right do you have to mention my mother? Yes, you're right, you have a mother to raise you, but what did she teach you? How to be a mistress and climb to the top?"
Gu Shanshan's voice was loud, and instantly the people in the restroom looked at Gu Linfeng with disdain.
"Gu Shanshan, you're talking nonsense! I'll teach you a lesson today on behalf of your father!"
Gu Linfeng's face flushed red, and he raised his hand to slap Gu Shanshan hard across the face.
The moment the slap landed on her face, Gu Shanshan dodged to the side.
And he lifted his foot without any mercy.
"ah!"
Gu Linfeng instantly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
He glared fiercely at Gu Shanshan.
He gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Gu Shanshan whole, "Gu Shanshan, you fucking dare to kick me, I..."
Everyone in the restroom had overheard their conversation, and seeing Gu Linfeng's ridiculous appearance, no one stepped forward to help; everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
Gu Shanshan ignored Gu Linfeng's grimacing expression and glanced at her phone.
He tensed up when he realized he was about to register.
He spat at Gu Linfeng on the ground, "Pah, you scum, I'm kicking you!"
After saying that, she didn't even glance at Gu Linfeng again, and quickly ran out of the restroom and headed straight for the boarding gate.
"Gu Shanshan, you just wait!"
Gu Linfeng roared from the bathroom, but Gu Shanshan had already run far away and couldn't hear him.
......
Gu Shanshan arrived just in time to board the plane.
Jiang Ziheng excitedly grabbed Gu Shanshan's hand, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
He had been waiting for so long, and the closer it got to boarding time, the more anxious he became as Gu Shanshan still hadn't appeared.
His mind was filled with wild thoughts; he even thought that Gu Shanshan would never appear again.
Fortunately, he came.
"Phew, we finally made it." Gu Shanshan said happily, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Ziheng.
An announcement came over the loudspeaker: Flight to xxx is ready. Passengers are requested to check in as soon as possible.
The flight that was announced was the one they were on.
Jiang Ziheng pulled Gu Shanshan's hand and walked towards the inspection area. "Shanshan, let's get on the plane quickly."
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Boarding was a quick process, but even as the two sat side by side on the plane, Gu Shanshan's heart was still pounding.
As the plane took off and flew further and further away from the ground, Gu Shanshan's smile grew wider and wider.
That's great, he's finally free.
Finally, she left behind that lunatic Gong Ye and was finally together with her target again.
Thinking about it, Gu Shanshan closed her eyes, relaxed her body against the back of the chair, and showed a satisfied expression on her face.
He hadn't felt this relaxed and comfortable in a very long time.
During his time with Gong Ye, he lived in constant fear.
Even when I try to sleep, I don't dare to actually fall asleep; I'm always on edge.
I'm afraid that I might accidentally say something I shouldn't in my dream.
He loathed the high-pressure environment around Gong Ye.
It's so oppressive and suffocating.
Seeing Gu Shanshan leaning back in her chair, Jiang Ziheng asked the flight attendant for a blanket and thoughtfully covered her with it.
"Shanshan, are you tired? If you are, take a nap. The flight will take another 10 hours. I'll wake you up when we land."
Gu Shanshan opened her eyes and was gazed at by Jiang Ziheng's gentle eyes, which softened her heart completely.
Look, this is how men perceive each other.
Jiang Ziheng is a handsome and refined gentleman, while Gong Ye is a depraved and perverted scoundrel.
"You should get some sleep too. The flight attendants will remind us when we arrive. Let's sleep together."
"Um."
Jiang Ziheng smiled and nodded. After seeing Gu Shanshan close her eyes, he slowly closed his own.
......
In the restroom at Yunyan Airport, Gu Linfeng sat on the floor for a long time before standing up.
He limped out of the restroom, his face looking extremely pale.
After getting into the taxi, he became increasingly angry, so he called his father and recounted what had just happened, embellishing the story.
The words implied that Gu's father was going to Gong Ye's place to seek justice for his injuries.
Father Gu has always doted on his eldest son, the child born to his first love, treating him like a treasure and never wanting him to suffer any injustice.
He immediately made a phone call.
He wasn't qualified to get Gong Ye's number; he should just call Gong Ye's assistant, Special Assistant Wang.
As soon as the call connected, he recounted how Gu Shanshan had hit Gu Linfeng at Yunyan Airport, and said that Gu Shanshan should come home to apologize.
After listening, Assistant Wang sensed something was wrong. Without saying a word to his father, he immediately hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up the phone, another call came from the Gong family villa. After hearing the report, Assistant Wang's expression changed.
He put away his phone, walked quickly to the conference room, knocked on the door, went in, and leaned down to tell Gong Ye what had happened.
After hearing what Assistant Wang said, Gong Ye's face immediately darkened.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You mean, Gu Shanshan ran away!"
Assistant Wang nodded. "According to Gu Linfeng's account, and the phone call from the villa, that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, the expensive black fountain pen was snapped in two by Gong Ye.
"Good, very good, Gu Shanshan is really itchy!" Gong Ye's voice was icy, and the light in his eyes was even more terrifying.
The order came in a harsh tone, "Find him immediately, and stop him!"
That damn little bastard! He was so docile around me for so long, it was all an act all along.
This was all in preparation for today's escape.
Damn it, I really deserve to die!
This time, once we find him, I'll see if he doesn't break Gu Shanshan's legs before he believes the palace!
