My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Sensing the danger, Zuo Si immediately withdrew her hand. She curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile, “I just wanted to tell you one more time. Since we’ve established a partnership, I’ll definitely be the best partner!”

She pointed at her bruised face. “For example, I’ll definitely take care of such dangerous things. I guarantee that your babe won’t be harmed in the slightest.”

His eyes emotionless, Gu Yu looked up, and the way he looked at her was even colder.

Zuo Si “fearfully” took two steps back and raised her hands, as if she was surrendering. “Oh, now, she’s not your babe anymore. She’s a stranger that has nothing to do with you, right?”

His eyes became colder.

“Alright, I’ve said what I wanted to say. I’ll leave now!” After saying this, Zuo Si turned around decisively and walked out of the office sensibly.

Her assistant, Wu Qin, was waiting for her at the door. When she saw her walk out, Wu Qin rushed forward to greet her. When she saw that the injury on her face obviously hadn’t been treated, she couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Zuo, do you need to go to the hospital?”

She was someone who needed to socialize frequently. As someone who met clients, she couldn’t possibly have such a miserable injury on her face, right?

“There’s no need.”

Zuo Si refused, and even laughed. “I’ve already experienced the pain of this injury, so I have to maximize its benefits. If I treat it now, then my pain would have really gone in vain.”

Wu Qin knew how she did things, so she stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, she said, “Then what you mean is…”

“Find a place with good lighting and take two photos of me. Then, send them to media outlets and let them write their articles properly.”

Wu Qin nodded. “I understand.”

After Xu Weilai sent Gu Xue Home, she sent Xu Zhanwang back to the Xu family’s residence. After all, she was living in Xiao Chun’s apartment now, so she couldn’t take Xu Zhanwang in.

Before getting out of the car, she once again warned Xu Zhanwang sternly. First of all, he wasn’t allowed to recklessly cause trouble for Gu Yu. Second of all, he had to quickly book a plane ticket and return to school.

Xu Zhanwang, on the other hand, stared at her fixedly and asked instead of answering, “Sis, do you really believe what Gu Xue said? Do you think there’s another reason for Gu Yu’s sudden change?”

Xu Weilai looked at him silently for a few seconds. Just as Xu Zhanwang couldn’t help but start to get anxious, she said softly, “Whether there is or not, I’ll have to investigate before I know.”

“So, you’ll still investigate?”

“Yes!”

Knowing that her younger brother felt sorry for her, Xu Weilai’s tone softened. She raised her hand and gently stroked his head. “Zhanwang, you should understand that if I can’t figure out everything, I won’t be able to truly let it go. Since I’ve chosen to come back, I only have one goal.”

“Of course. You all think that if I leave, I’ll be able to live a new life. That’s what you all think, but the past is never easily erased. Do you think that humans are machines that can just cut off the power if they want to? Human emotions are all tangled and messy like this. Only when everything is straightened out can one see clearly what one ultimately wants to do.”

Word by word, all the boiling anger in Xu Zhanwang’s heart was suppressed by Xu Weilai’s words.

All along, his sister had treated him like a child and protected him very well. No matter how much she suffered, she would always silently endure it. This was the first time she had spoken her heart to him and treated him like an adult.

She hoped that he would understand her, sympathize with her, and… support her.
