Chapter 383 The Closed-Off Young Master 17: Caregiver, Sanatorium?
Zi Xi recalled that she seemed to have vaguely heard some rumors before, but she never took them to heart.
During the time she spent with Gu Yanqing, all she felt was his childlike dependence and purity.
Occasional mood swings are mostly due to a lack of understanding of the world and communication barriers, and have nothing to do with malice or madness.
The Gu family has connections everywhere and can cover up everything. Once you've lost your usefulness, your fate will only be worse!
That's all for now.
But Zi Xi showed no fear; instead, she was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"What is all this nonsense! It's disturbing my sleep!!"
"Ugh, if I fall asleep during a movie tomorrow, will that count as a work mistake?"
Zi Xi muttered to herself as she read through the messages again from beginning to end.
The sense of absurdity grew stronger.
Is she now Gu Yanqing's toy?
Those cute and quirky headbands in the locker—you have to admit, Gu Yanqing is her toy!
How could the boy who immediately relaxed after she explained things clearly be the cruel and ruthless figure described in the text message?
And they even say the Gu family is rotten inside?
Madam Gu was very considerate of her, not only supporting her relationship with Yan Qing, but also thoughtfully providing her with all the necessities for daily life and schoolwork.
Although Mr. Gu had not yet met her in person, he inquired about Gu Yanqing's affairs via video and treated her with great courtesy.
Even Uncle Chen, the old butler who was initially cold to her, now always has a smiling face and looks at her with the loving kindness of an elder.
"Who is it...?"
Zi Xi put down her phone and leaned against the headboard, all sleepiness gone because of this incident.
She carefully considered whether she had offended anyone.
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
But there was one thing she was very certain of.
She absolutely did not believe a single word in those text messages.
In her heart, Gu Yanqing was the boy whose eyes would light up when she brought him a new flavor of cake, and the boy who insisted on calling her Xixi and Yanyan to confirm their connection.
He's not stupid; on the contrary, he's very intelligent.
His world is very simple, and he expresses his emotions directly, which makes him seem somewhat obsessive.
But this was by no means malicious, much less insane.
That was just his way of understanding the world and expressing himself.
Moreover, the Gu family provided her with material support that she never dared to dream of before, and in addition to paying for her mother's surgery, she also had some savings.
People should not be unaware of gratitude.
That's why she needs to treat the Gu family's precious child even more seriously.
Zi Xi picked up her phone and deleted it without hesitation.
Those malicious words vanished from the screen instantly, as if they had never existed.
She lay back down on the bed, pulled the thin blanket up, and gradually fell asleep.

Yang Ruxuan stood in front of the huge full-length mirror in the Junyue Mansion apartment, gazing at herself in the mirror.
She wore a pure white dress with a simple design and made of the finest cotton and linen.
Her long hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, without much decoration, except for a simple pearl hair clip by her ear.
Her makeup was so light it was almost invisible, and her lips were a natural pink.
She looked fresh and pure, like a newly blossoming white camellia.
This is how Gu Yanqing would be affectionate in his past life.
She remembered clearly that during her time at the Gu family home, whenever she wore white, Gu Yanqing's gaze would linger for a moment longer.
He seemed more relaxed whenever she remained quiet and refrained from making excessive facial expressions or movements.
This is not genuine liking, but rather a dependence of autistic individuals on fixed patterns.
Recently, that old bastard Wang Jianguo seems to have gotten tired of her, and he's been giving her less and less money.
Now, she wants to reclaim that position.
"Brother Wang, I want to go see my old friends today, so I might not be back for dinner tonight."
Yang Ruxuan sent Wang Jianguo a message in a submissive tone.
