Chapter 292: Chapter 292: When He’s Not Paying Attention_1
I fell silent, not saying a word!

Gu Yuanzhou walked out with the doctor.

I don’t know what they discussed, but half an hour later, he came back in.

He handed me a coat, “Want to go out for a walk?”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away?”

“With me around, it’ll be hard for you to fly away even if you sprouted wings!”

He was pretty confident…

I struggled to lower my legs from the hospital bed, then slowly steadied myself.

After not moving for a long time, I started to feel a bit unsteady and slightly dizzy.

This reminded me of the days after I gave birth to my second child. Because of the Cesarean section, I couldn’t get out of bed for a long time, just like now.

Back then, it was also Gu Yuanzhou who stayed by my side to take care of me.

When I was getting out of bed and moving about, it was also him who supported me.

Regrettably, I didn’t know he was so cruel back then, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so grateful to him.

Now, he is still supporting me, walking me to the courtyard.

I pushed his hand away.

Stubbornly moving forward on my own.

It was noon.

It was late autumn, and the sunshine was warmly illuminating the little garden.

The garden was small, but it was connected to the mountain behind, with steep cliffs and dense forests.

Aware of my intentions, Gu Yuanzhou said in a deep voice,

“You won’t be able to climb up there, your left arm isn’t healed yet. Just a warning, with your current physical condition, you could not bear another fall. If you lost your life, don’t blame me.”

I averted my gaze and glanced at him.

This glance was full of disdain.

I walked a few more steps ahead…

He was following behind me, smoking, occasionally looking up at the sky.

The weather today was very good, the sky was very clear.

Crystal clear!

“Doesn’t President Gu need to be busy with business today?”

I strolled around the yard, looked at the high walls all around, really couldn’t find a route to escape, so I asked him instead.

Gu Yuanzhou frowned slightly at me,

“At my level, there’s no need to stay in the company every day!”

“Huh, President Gu is quite arrogant, if you have the guts, let me go. We’ll have fair competition in the market!”

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me,

“Fair competition is mainly for the weak!”

“Didn’t we have a competition before? Zhenyi Company under President Gu’s remarkable leadership was worse than mine in every aspect! Of course, you wouldn’t dare compete with me openly because you can’t win.”

“Look at our positions now, who do you think lost, you or me?”

He was smirking through his eyes!

I was so angry with him that I had nothing to say.

“You’re playing dirty tricks!”

“Weren’t you also playing dirty? You just got caught!”

“You!”

I couldn’t argue with him, so I stopped quarrelling.

After a while, I said again,

“I need to go out!”

“Where to?”

“Shopping, I need to buy living supplies!”

“Like I said before, whatever living supplies you need, just tell me, I’ll buy them for you!”

“Women’s personal items, there’s a difference between men and women, do we have to be so explicit in everything?”

In fact, I just wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

No matter what, I have to find a way to contact Ding Yinuo.

“Like what?”

“Sanitary napkins, my period is coming, okay?”

“Just this?”

“Or what? Is President Gu willing to stoop to buy menstrual supplies for a woman?”

I guessed Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t swallow this pride, after all, I was not his woman at present.

We had no intimate relationship at all.

To my surprise, he agreed readily,

“Okay!”

“You!!”

He looked at me calmly.

It seemed to him that this was just a small matter.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, he really did buy the sanitary napkins.

A large bag full of daily and overnight pads, as well as panty liners and adult diapers.

Wrapped in a black plastic bag, he put it next to my bed.

“Is this your preferred brand?”

He looked at me, his face as calm as water.

I put the plastic bag aside, looked at him, and was left speechless.

He looked at the calendar on the table, then at me,

“You must be sick of staying here after all these days, right?”

“You agree to let me go?”

“I don’t want to keep you here either. After all, you being here means I have to hire someone to treat you, manage your diet, and put up with your nonsense. Just tell me where the documents are. As long as you give me all the materials, I’ll let you go. We can then live peacefully.”

By now, I no longer ridiculed him.

I can’t be bothered to argue.

I gave him a cold look, refusing to discuss it with him further.

One must admit, Gu Yuanzhou was a very patient man, he wouldn’t lose his temper, but would slowly wear you down, like dull knife slicing meat, you don’t feel the pain, and then slowly give in.

That’s because I knew what kind of person he was, so I was on guard, and wouldn’t easily fall for his tricks.

We were at an impasse for another two days.

By this time, I was able to walk on my own.

I didn’t need his assistance, I could stroll around in the backyard and even swing.

Only my head was still bandaged, I couldn’t wash my face, and when I was sleeping, I could still feel the pain from the scar on my head.

It is now a week after the car accident.

I wanted to watch TV, to see the news about the accident.

But there wasn’t even a TV in this house.

On the eighth day, Gu Yuanzhou dismissed the nurse, leaving only one cook.

That day, I took advantage of Gu Yuanzhou’s absence.

I began to tempt the cook. She happened to bring me food, and I tried to probe,

“You cook here, how much does Gu Yuanzhou pay you a month?”

The cook looked at me, her eyes shifting, initially she dared not speak, she kept her distance after bringing me the food.

“So, however much Gu Yuanzhou pays you, I’ll pay you ten times that…”

The cook finally hesitated and then replied, “Miss Song, Mr. Gu warned me that if I dare help you escape, he won’t let me go.”

“I won’t run away, just lend me your phone for a moment, okay? I, uh, I don’t have money on me right now, but I guarantee you, when I leave here, I’ll give you a lot of money!”

“This… is not good!”

“Ten thousand!”

“Sorry, Miss Song!”

“Fifty thousand?”

“This… how about, you ask Mr. Gu to give you a phone call, I really can’t, do you still want to eat this food? If not, I will take it away.”

I felt the cook was clearly flustered, showing she was moved.

As long as she had the thought of money, I could win her over.

Actually, I didn’t think too much. All I needed was to borrow her phone and call Ding Yinuo or notify my friend Wenya that I am here.

“One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand yuan, I’ll write you an IOU right now, and then you can exchange it at Tianjiao Company when the time comes.”

To prove that I was not lying, I immediately took a pen and paper, wrote a one hundred thousand IOU, signed it, and handed it to the cook.

Money talks.

The cook took the IOU, finally she was moved. She took out her phone and handed it to me,

“You only have three minutes, be quick. Mr.Gu has gone out.”

I took the phone and dialed Ding Yinuo’s number right away.
