Chapter 15: Where Did You Go?
Upon seeing the people inside the elevator, Gu Shanshan instinctively stopped and turned to leave.
But it was too late. The people in the elevator also saw Gu Shanshan, their eyes widening as if they were copper bells.
Seeing Gu Shanshan turn to leave, he screamed and roared.
"Gu Shanshan, you stop right there!"
The owner of that shrill voice was none other than Gu Xingxian.
Gu Xingxian was almost crippled by Gong Ye. He had just undergone surgery and both of his legs were broken. He could only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed around by a nurse.
Not only his legs, but his face was also in a terrible state, like a palette of colors, his whole face swollen like a pig's head.
He was nowhere near as arrogant as Gu Shanshan had seen him last night.
Upon hearing Gu Xingxian's voice, Gu Shanshan froze.
But after only a two-second pause, she quickened her pace.
Gu Xingxian gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Shanshan's retreating figure. "Gu Shanshan, if you dare take another step, I'll tell Gong Ye that you're writing love letters to other men!"
"Have you thought this through? If those love letters fall into Gong Ye's hands, how will he treat you?"
"Should I beat you up like this, or just have someone kill you?"
Gu Shanshan's body trembled upon hearing this.
Unable to take another step, she turned around with difficulty and walked to Gu Xingxian.
With a furrowed brow, he demanded, "Gu Xingxian, what exactly do you want?"
The original owner did write a love letter to someone who owned a cake shop, but because she was timid, she never had the courage to send it out.
Those love letters were all treasured by the original owner and kept under her pillow.
Every night when she took it out to look at it, Gu Shanshan felt a pang of sadness when she thought of the original owner who was so cautious and timid.
He had seen the owner of that cake shop before; he was a very gentle person, especially with that radiant smile, which was incredibly infectious.
When she smiles, she exudes a warm, sunny aura that makes people feel very comfortable.
Whether it was due to the original owner's influence or not, he had a good impression of the owner of that cake shop.
If this were the real world, and there were no so-called "targets" for romance, the cake shop owner would indeed be his type.
Gu Xingxian is right. Given Gong Ye's domineering and tyrannical nature, if he knew that Gong Ye had written love letters to other men before and treasured them, hiding them under his pillow and reading them every night, who knows what kind of ways he would come up with to torment him.
Now he walks on thin ice in front of Gong Ye; if he takes the slightest wrong step, he will be doomed.
Although she knew in her heart that Gu Xingxian had ill intentions, she couldn't do anything about it.
"What should I do? Ha..."
Gu Xingxian looked Gu Shanshan up and down, and when he saw the obvious bite marks on Gu Shanshan's neck, he felt even more jealous and resentful.
She spoke sarcastically, "Gu Shanshan, you are such a despicable bitch. In just three months, you have stolen all the men that should have belonged to me. I was blind before, I didn't realize that you were such a scheming ingrate."
"I used to think you were naive, and I introduced you to Gong Ye for your own good. But you, after climbing into Gong Ye's bed, not only did you not give me money, but you also let Gong Ye beat me up like this."
Gu Xingxian's questions made Gu Shanshan feel amused.
"Gu Xingxian, do you have paranoia? Get this straight, what does your becoming like have to do with me?"
The person who invited Gong Ye out for drinks was clearly Gu Xingxian himself.
While they were drinking, he was still eating dust in that dilapidated storage room.
God knows how they started fighting.
Unable to contain her anger, she said, "Gu Xingxian, I think you've damaged your brain. You're blaming me for this. You're really crazy."
Moreover, why should he sell himself to Gong Ye to support him?
That's shameless.
"Gu Shanshan, how dare you talk to me like that!"
Gu Xingxian stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"If you dare say another word, I'll immediately call and have all those shameless love letters of yours sent to Gong Ye. Then let's see what you'll use to curry favor with him!"
Gu Xingxian's words instantly extinguished the anger in Gu Shanshan's heart.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now that Gu Xingxian has something on him, he has no choice but to compromise.
He spoke weakly, "Speak, Gu Xingxian, what exactly do you want?"
Gu Xingxian asked the nurse to push him out of the elevator.
With his head held high, he demanded of Gu Shanshan, "It's simple, give me one million, or this isn't over!"
"One million!"
Gu Shanshan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Gu Xingxian, are you crazy? Where would I get so much money?"
He currently has less than a thousand yuan left, including in his bank account.
His lease is about to expire, and he still hasn't paid the rent.
Where did he get a million to give to Gu Xingxian?
"Gu Shanshan, what are you still pretending to be stupid for now?"
With Gong Ye as his backer, he could have anything he wanted. A mere million was just a drop in the ocean for him.
“Gu Shanshan, you must give me this million, otherwise I will sell these love letters to Gong Ye. I believe he will offer a higher price for them.”
“Gong Ye gives you so much money and property every day, you can’t even spend it all, so what’s wrong with giving me a little? After all, I’m your biological older brother, and I was the matchmaker who brought you and Gong Ye together. You are where you are today because of me.”
"Gu Shanshan, you can't just abandon me after you've served your purpose!"
Gu Shanshan was so angry at Gu Xingxian's shameless remarks that she laughed.
"Gu Xingxian, who told you that Gong Ye gave me property and money?"
How could he, the person directly involved, have no idea?
Gu Xingxian said matter-of-factly, "You are Gong Ye's lover, how could Gong Ye not give you money? Gu Shanshan, don't try to fool me just because you don't want to give me money."
Back when he and Gong Ye were classmates, if he wanted something, he only needed to mention it to Gong Ye without leaving a trace, and the next day Gong Ye would have someone deliver the item to him.
At that time, Gong Ye and I were just ordinary classmates, yet Gong Ye still gave me so many things.
Now that Gu Shanshan is Gong Ye's lover, Gu Xingxian naturally assumes that Gu Shanshan has gotten a lot from Gong Ye.
"I didn't. Gong Ye didn't give me anything."
Gu Shanshan stepped forward a few steps. "Gu Xingxian, believe it or not, I'm penniless right now. It wasn't that I didn't want to send you money last time, but I hadn't received any offers for over a month, and all the money I earned from part-time jobs went to my night school tuition."
“Gu Xingxian, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gong Ye.”
Gu Shanshan talked for so long just to convince Gu Xingxian that she really didn't have any money and to stop asking him for so much money.
"If possible, I can give you up to five thousand yuan a month, can you give me back those love letters?"
Gu Shanshan's voice carried a hint of pleading.
But he underestimated Gu Xingxian's shamelessness.
"Five thousand a month? Gu Shanshan, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?!"
Gu Xingxian's irritating demands.
"I don't care about any of that, none of it is my concern. I just want money. You stole my man, and all that money should have belonged to me. Now I only want one million, which is already more than enough considering you're my own brother. Gu Shanshan, don't push your luck."
"I don't care what method you use, I'm giving you three days. If I don't receive one million in my account after three days, you can expect me to deliver those love letters to Gong Ye."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Shanshan to refute him, and too lazy to argue with him any further, he directly addressed the nurse behind him.
"Push me downstairs to change my dressing. Just looking at that bitch Gu Shanshan gives me a headache."
After being beaten up by Gong Ye last night, Gu Xingxian is now terrified of Gong Ye.
If things had gone smoothly between him and Gong Ye after he was drugged, things would have been fine. But not only did it not work out, he was almost beaten to death by Gong Ye.
Right now, all he wants is to use the one million he extorted from Gu Shanshan to continue going abroad, and then ask Gu Shanshan for more money when he needs it later.
Anyway, it's impossible for him to work and spend money on his own in this lifetime.
The nurse watched the whole thing, and before leaving, she gave Gu Shanshan a sympathetic look.
Having such a bizarre older brother is truly unlucky.
Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth as she watched Gu Xingxian enter the elevator, and then saw the elevator doors close in front of her, her face turning black with anger.
My stomach, which was originally hungry, is now full from anger.
I didn't even want to eat, so I just dragged my exhausted body back home.
Clang...
Before Gu Shanshan even reached her ward, she heard a loud thud coming from her own ward not far away, as if something had been slammed heavily to the ground.
Gu Shanshan had a bad feeling and quickened her pace toward her ward.
The door to the ward was half open, and a man's angry roar came from inside.
Where is he?!
That familiar voice clearly belonged to Gong Ye.
Gong Ye's voice was deafening, and Gu Shanshan was almost driven to her knees on the spot by his shout.
Without thinking too much, I hurriedly pushed open the door and went inside.
Fearing that Gong Ye would get angry again, he shouted again.
"I'm here!"
Upon entering, one sees Gong Ye standing beside one's hospital bed, with the blankets that were neatly placed on the bed overturned and lying on the floor.
Next to the quilt was a water glass that had been smashed on the floor.
Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's voice, Gong Ye immediately turned around and saw Gu Shanshan's petite figure standing by the door frame.
"Gu Shanshan, where have you been?!"
Before Gu Shanshan could answer the man's angry question, she was suddenly pulled into Gong Ye's arms.
Gong Ye wrapped his arms around Gu Shanshan's waist, holding her tightly in his arms.
It's like holding a lost treasure that has been found again.
The man's angry rebuke rang in my ears.
"Do you know you're very weak? Why are you running around like that!"
