Chapter 100 You Wait
Jiang Yanbai raised his hand and gently rubbed the tiny cut at the corner of his lip with the tip of his thumb.
The action was cold and nonchalant.
"I told you. If you don't believe me, you can check it out for yourself."
Gu Baozhu forced herself to suppress the turmoil in her heart and put on a gentle expression on her face again.
"How can I possibly investigate you?"
"Yanbai, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
Jiang Yanbai was not interested in her change of expression. He walked straight past her and walked towards the living room with his long legs.
Seeing this, Gu Baozhu immediately followed quickly.
She knew that only news about that woman could truly move his heart.
"Yanbai, there is something more important than this."
"I went to see my uncle today."
She paused deliberately, observing his reaction.
Jiang Yanbai was picking up the glass kettle and pouring water without any hesitation.
"He said that he has some clues about your mother's matter."
"Bang!"
The glass kettle slipped out of his hand and hit the marble countertop heavily.
Water splashed everywhere, soaking the cuffs of his expensive suit.
Jiang Yanbai's hand trembled uncontrollably in mid-air.
He turned around abruptly, and his pair of black eyes, which were always as calm as the abyss, now stirred up a turbulent wave and locked onto her tightly.
"Are you serious about what you said?"
"Did he tell you himself, or did you discover it yourself?"
Being stared at by him with such sharp eyes, Gu Baozhu felt uneasy in her heart.
She subconsciously lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look him in the eye.
"My uncle told me personally."
Jiang Yanbai's chest heaved violently. He straightened the kettle and placed it heavily on the table.
When he spoke again, his voice was much calmer.
"What did he say? Tell me the whole story, word for word."
Gu Baozhu lowered her voice, with just the right amount of embarrassment.
"My uncle didn't tell me the exact location."
"He just said that he finally had some clues."
"Yanbai, he is your father after all. If you really want to find out..."
"Why don't you go back and ask him in person?"
The shock and fear in Jiang Yanbai's eyes disappeared in an instant.
The air pressure around him was frighteningly low.
Jiang Dongwei, that old fox, would never be so kind.
He asked her to come over just to use her mother as bait to lure him back.
Since you are unwilling to directly state the so-called clues, it proves that there are no clues at all.
Jiang Yanbai's gaze swept across Gu Baozhu's face.
"What else did he talk about besides this? Like, the company?"
Gu Baozhu tightly grasped the USB flash drive in her palm. This man was testing her!
Every word is a trap.
She tried to remain calm, her face still showing that weak and innocent expression.
"I...how would I know anything about the company? My uncle should talk to you."
She was afraid that he would continue to ask questions, so she took the initiative.
"Yanbai, I think uncle looks very serious."
"He also said that as long as your mother is willing to let go of the past, he...he is willing to let her come back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanbai raised the corners of his lips in an extremely sarcastic arc.
A cold sneer, full of indifference.
"He has a beautiful idea."
He stood up straight, his crisp suit making him look even more cold and distant.
"Next time you see him, tell him a message for me."
"Without any definite news, don't even think about me setting foot in the Jiang family's gate again."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Baozhu. He turned around and strode out of the villa.
Gu Baozhu was the only one left in the huge living room.
Her tense body suddenly relaxed and she was about to collapse on the sofa.
Jiang Yanbai's behavior just now was too suspicious, and he didn't believe her at all.
And the marks on his lips and neck...
Who is it?
Which bitch could leave such a mark on him?
Gu Baozhu's gaze drifted uncontrollably towards the closed door at the end of the corridor.
Gu Miaomiao? Where did she go? Why did the door to the room change?
Gu Baozhu stood up suddenly and rushed directly to the door.
She turned the doorknob, but it didn't budge.
Gu Baozhu was so angry that she kicked him.
"What's in this room? Why can't I go in? Why can't I live here?"
In the silent room.
Gu Miaomiao was curled up on the cold floor.
Sharp shouts and curses came vaguely from outside the door.
She slowly raised her head, and finally a glimmer of light appeared in her empty eyes.
She supported herself against the wall, stood up little by little, and slowly moved to the door.
He put his ear against the cold door.
"Who is it?"
The frantic banging outside the door suddenly stopped, and Gu Baozhu froze in mid-air.
What did she hear?
"who?"
She pressed her ear against the cold door.
"Who are you? Gu Miaomiao?"
Inside the door, Gu Miaomiao leaned against the cold door panel, with a cold curve on her lips.
"It's me."
She paused and added.
"I was locked up here by Jiang Yanbai and can't get out."
Gu Baozhu's mind exploded and went blank.
How is that possible?
Jiang Yanbai said in person that Gu Miaomiao had already left.
The ambiguous marks on his neck, the red and swollen corners of his lips...
It turns out it was all her fault! It was all this bitch!
"How could it be you!?"
Her voice was sharp and inflected, filled with panic.
"Didn't you leave already? Why would he lock you up?!"
Compared to the hysteria outside the door, Gu Miaomiao inside was terrifyingly calm.
"It was never my intention to stay. He told you I was leaving just to appease you."
Gu Baozhu clenched her teeth!
Why!
She is the future mistress recognized by the Jiang family!
Why does this imprisoned prisoner speak to her in such a condescending tone!
"It must be you! You bitch, what seductive tricks did you use to seduce him again!"
"I'm going to beat you to death!"
Gu Baozhu went crazy, using both hands to frantically shake the cold metal door handle.
The sturdy door lock didn't budge at all despite her pull.
The woman inside the door turned a deaf ear to all this.
Her voice remained flat.
"I advise you not to waste your energy. He changed the locks and reinforced the silencer."
"If your face wasn't pressed against the door, you wouldn't even hear me."
Gu Baozhu paused, but the surging jealousy made her unable to stop.
"Come out now! Get out here!"
Gu Miaomiao spoke each word with emphasis.
"If you go crazy like this, you'll only attract Mother Wang."
"Have you ever thought about how she will describe your current appearance to Jiang Yanbai when the time comes?"
She woke up instantly.
She couldn't let Jiang Yanbai see her acting like a shrew.
She withdrew her hand, leaned against the door as if exhausted, and gasped for breath to calm her heartbeat.
She lowered her voice and squeezed out a word from between her teeth.
"What the hell is going on? Gu Miaomiao, just wait!"
"When Yanbai comes back, I'll make sure he gives me an explanation!"
The voice from inside the door sounded again, light but mocking.
"An explanation? What explanation do you want Jiang Yanbai to give you?"
