In Gu Qin’s eyes, even if Gu Yan were remade ten tis, she wouldn’t match her in the slightest.
Gu Yan didn’t care how Gu Qin belittled or mocked her and turned away.
Seeing Gu Yan’s arrogant deanor, Gu Qin was furious and stomped her foot before turning away in anger.
Gu Yan returned ho, tossed her backpack aside, and lay back on her bed, soon curling up.
She was exhausted; the events of the past few days had caught her unprepared, without any defense.
The surgery fees for Gu’s father remained a daunting challenge.
She was now at the end of her rope.
Could it be true that she must humble herself before Tang Yuxiu and take that one million?
In her heart, she was a million tis unwilling, but besides this thod, she couldn’t think of any other way to gather one million within a day!
What to do?
She couldn’t possibly abandon Gu’s father.
Mrs. Gu’s words, although harsh and an, were half correct; even if it ant selling herself or exchanging her life for Gu’s father’s, she was willing.
The premise being that Mrs. Gu would play fewer tricks and show less disdain towards her; even without her saying anything, she would think of every possible way to do it.
If they had confided in her earlier and discussed it, allowing her so ti to consider, perhaps Gu Yan might willingly comply with President Liu.
Unfortunately, they just treated her like a commodity, selling her without any autonomy.
Since she had to betray herself to secure the hefty dical fees, why not agree to Tang Yuxiu?
At least Tang Yuxiu was better than ninety-nine percent of n, whether in wealth or looks.
Plus, he had serious hygiene issues; he might not act towards her so easily.
His work hours were quite regular, so she might not see him that often anyway.
Upon reflection, Gu Yan felt Tang Yuxiu was indeed a suitable choice.
It’s just that, in the future, she would beco a mistress hidden from the world!
The sky gradually darkened as Gu Yan stood at Luoshui Apartnt’s entrance, where there was no security guard, only electronic surveillance.
Since she worked there, the electronic surveillance could identify her, preventing an alarm from sounding.
She didn’t know how long she’d stand there, always hesitating to take that step.
Upon arrival, it was already past six; if nothing unexpected occurred, Tang Yuxiu should be ho by now.
By seven thirty, the sun finally set, leaving a faint glow emitting its last light.
As ti ticked away, Gu Yan’s legs grew numb from standing.
Fifteenth floor.
Tang Yuxiu stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine, vaguely noticing the shadow standing at the entrance.
He gently swirled the wine in his glass, recalling the cold chamber upon his return and the check quietly lying on the ground, feeling indescribable.
Surprisingly, he anticipated this woman coming to him.
Watching her stand at the entrance for over an hour without movent, a growing irritation rose within him.
At seven fifty, the sky turned completely dark, with street lights already glowing within the apartnt, and so floors had their lights on.
She looked up at the fifteenth floor, which was pitch black.
Was Tang Yuxiu not ho?
Thinking this, she mustered so courage.
With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes, composed herself, and finally stepped forward.
Tang Yuxiu was a punctual person; since she had to take this step sooner or later, she might as well arrive on ti.
Isn’t it better to face the inevitable quickly?
