Gu Lili’s phone rang.
Because she was busy with sothing important, she answered the call and put it on speaker next to her pillow.
He iwei’s panicked voice ca from the other end of the phone. Afraid that Gu Lili would hang up upon hearing her voice, she blurted out all at once, "I’m being followed by three n I don’t recognize here in Nanwei District’s comrcial street. Can you get Mr. Long to co over? Or send soone to check it out? I’m really scared."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances. Gu Lili picked up the phone, "Miss He, you really play too many tricks. I don’t know how you got my number. At this mont, you should be dialing 110, not my phone."
"I did, but couldn’t get through," He iwei’s voice trembled, indicating she was genuinely scared, "I know I’ve done sothing unforgivable to you, but I couldn’t reach Mr. Long’s phone, and I just got your number today, so I had no choice but to call you. Please, help one more ti. I really need your help."
"You couldn’t get through to the police? Are you kidding ? How is that possible?"
"It’s true, I couldn’t get through. Maybe there were too many ergency calls. I’m really feeling helpless now."
Before Gu Lili could respond, Long Yubei snatched the phone from her hand and coldly spat out one word, "Scram."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and then deleted the incoming call number, doing it very cleanly.
Gu Lili saw his actions and suddenly laughed, "The way you said ’scram’ was really sothing. I liked it."
Long Yubei turned off his phone and casually threw it to the side of the bed. His deep eyes filled with displeasure, "I don’t want to hear about her anymore. Whether she staged it herself or there really were strange n following her, it’s none of my business."
Gu Lili was quite relieved by his attitude. As an ex-boyfriend, no matter what the reasons were, it was she who initiated the breakup. After the breakup, he helped her out ti and again due to their past relationship, but she was never satisfied. There was nothing more to be said.
"Making a scene over and over, she refuses to face reality, but there’s nothing that can be done. That’s just life."
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have helped her at all, because it’s just not worth it."
He iwei felt utterly devastated.
She wasn’t very familiar with the downtown area. She hurriedly hailed a car, and it was only after getting in that she realized the three n following her were actually heading towards the place where her lover had just boarded the vehicle. There were also three won waiting for them there. Maybe it was because those three n were tall and strong, not dressed very gentlemanly, and walked with a bit of a hooligan air, that she felt endangered.
In fact, they were not following her at all.
She let out a long sigh of relief, and her mood to shop vanished entirely.
Her mind still seed to linger on that cold and icy ’scram.’
It seems she really blew it with the words "her being his ex-girlfriend."
Deflated, she returned ho.
Her wrist still ached dully. As she looked up at the ceiling, she felt that her life was a failure.
How had everything co to this?
She didn’t know.
All she knew was that she desperately wanted to regain everything she had lost.
She desperately wanted to win back his affection.
So desperately.
But in the end, she pushed him further and further away.
Far into the horizon.
Ultimately, he no longer loved her.
Ultimately, there was another woman replacing her in his life, his attention shifted to soone else, not her.
He iwei wanted to cry, to really cry her heart out, but she couldn’t bring herself to tears.
She felt as if she had no reason to live, no one to love her.
How was she to live her life from now on?
Returning to bed, while scrolling through Weibo, she suddenly saw a comnt saying one celebrity couple had reunited, and that the male celebrity’s ex-wife can only turn the tables by marrying the celebrity’s father.
He iwei suddenly found the comnt quite reasonable, although it was just a jest by netizens, she took it seriously.
She thought, if she got together with Long Yubei’s father, wouldn’t the Long couple have to call her mom?
Becoming their elder, she thought, seed quite thrilling.
If she really beca Long Yubei’s stepmother, but he would definitely be infuriated, right?
He iwei chuckled to herself, then had to face reality again.
Long Yubei’s father, how could soone like him appear within her easy reach?
Obviously, that was unrealistic.
He iwei didn’t know what made her think of that, but she felt she couldn’t swallow this defeat.
All night long, she couldn’t sleep, her mind constantly pondering how to outdo Gu Lili.
The more she thought about it, the more insurmountable it seed.
The next morning, when she went to work, He iwei quit her job at the Long Group, reasoning that a job with such a scant salary couldn’t solve any of her problems.
She needed more than just food; she also had dical expenses to pay.
This was a significant expenditure.
She had to find another way.
