Chapter 16: Chapter 21: Wait for
to Co Back
“Stop the car.” Beiming Han’s cold voice called out.
The extended motorho slowly ca to a halt at the side of the road, Beiming Han picked up a coat that was nearby and put it on the still unconscious girl.
His large hand reached for the girl’s small delicately soft one, a charming smile pulling at his beautiful lips.
Wait for my return, darling! You!
Beiming Han got out of the car, quickly gave so instructions to his subordinates, looked back one more ti at the girl in the car, and then left in another black vehicle.
When Gu Qingxin woke up, she was still in the car. She sat up in alarm, the suit she was wearing sliding off her body. She quickly scrambled to cover herself back up.
The light inside the car was off, but the man had already left. She turned her head and looked out the window, realizing that the car was parked in her residential compound.
“Is anyone there?” Gu Qingxin asked.
There was no response. Making use of the light from outside, she noticed a set of won’s clothing on the opposite sofa. She quickly got her hands on it, cautiously inspecting her surroundings to confirm no one was present. She then quickly shucked off her work clothes and slipped into the dress.
After changing, she made her escape from the car and bolted towards the apartnt building without looking back.
Once Gu Qingxin left, the car that had been parked in the sa spot slowly drove away.
When Gu Qingxin entered her ho, she saw her mother taking dicine. Her mother quickly stuffed a mouthful of pills and, upon seeing her daughter enter, turned away to drink so water.
“Mom, what dicine are you taking?” Gu Qingxin shut the door and quickly walked over to her mother.
“It’s nothing. I’ve just been feeling a little unwell, it’s just the sa old problems flaring up again,” Lin Yin put down her water cup and smiled at her daughter.
“Can you please go get it checked at the hospital? You’re always taking dicine randomly, it’s not good for your health.” Gu Qingxin said painfully, grasping her mother’s hands. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Silly child, I’m fine. You shouldn’t bla yourself. I had, for a while, felt out of place at the Gu family. If not for you, I might have left even earlier,” Lin Yin reassured her.
Three years ago, she had accidentally walked in on her father and Zhou Mantong. That was what brought all of the affairs into the open. For this, Gu Qingxin always felt guilty towards her mother.
“Do you still love dad?” Gu Qingxin’s heart ached whenever she thought of her father. She could never have imagined that her kind and affectionate father would cheat on her mother, and right under her mother’s nose at that.
Zhou Mantong, Gu Yunci’s mother, was originally a Gu family maid. She was very pretty and hardworking, and everyone in the family liked her. She got pregnant before marriage. The grandfather wanted to fire her, but since Lin Yin considered Mantong as a sister and pleaded her case, the grandfather allowed her to stay.
After Gu Yunci was born and Lin Yin beca pregnant, giving birth to Gu Qingxin, their relationship matured even further. Lin Yin always treated Gu Yunci like her own daughter.
At her daughter’s question, Lin Yin remained silent. She noticed the clothes Gu Qingxin was wearing, stretched out a hand to her arm and asked, “Your dress…”
Having been at the Gu family for many years, Lin Yin could easily discern the quality of clothing. The one her daughter was wearing was clearly the work of a master. Its design and fabric were the very finest quality that was way above their current financial ans to afford..
