Chapter 294: Chapter 294 He Deceived Me Again_1
Instead, he immediately grabbed my arm,
“I’ll give you one last chance, if you refuse to tell the truth, if I find out myself. I will still lock you up.”
After wrestling internally for a few minutes, I finally capitulated.
I silently walked to the billboard, pulled out a stack of files from beneath it and handed them to him.
He quickly sorted through them, then asked me,
“Is this all there is?”
“Or what? Mr. Gu, have you done anything else that is unspeakable?”
He glanced at me coldly.
Then, in front of me, he took out a lighter, lit these files, and reduced them to ashes.
The thickness of the files caused them to burn for a long time…
“I can go now, right?”
I turned around and tried to leave.
But he didn’t keep his promise and grabbed my arm again.
“You can’t go!”
“Gu Yuanzhou, are you lying to me? You don’t keep your words!?”
“Yes!”
He got too lazy to explain it to me.
He instantly grabbed my hand and dragged me back into the elevator.
“So, from the very beginning, you never intended to let me go?”
Gu Yuanzhou smirked,
“You said it yourself, you are my Ayun! Since you are my Ayun, you should stay by my side! How can my wife, Gu Yuanzhou, favor others, right?”
“You’re shameless!”
At this moment, no matter what excuses Gu Yuanzhou made, I wouldn’t believe a word from him.
The elevator quickly reached the ground floor.
I was forcefully dragged forward by him…
Just then a familiar group of people walked past.
It was Wenya, Su Peisheng, and a few other friends.
Spotting me, Wenya ran over,
“Ayun! Oh god, my Ayun, where have you been all these days?”
Wenya clung to me tightly.
Whispering in her ear, I said,
“I’ve been captive by Gu Yuanzhou, help me!”
Only then did Wenya look down and see Gu Yuanzhou gripping my arm.
Even when Wenya and I embraced, he didn’t release me.
At this moment, Wenya looked at Gu Yuanzhou, then back at me,
“Ayun, I have a file you left with me, about Mr. Gu. Should I return it to you now?”
I never gave Wenya any files, but I knew she had a reason for saying this on the spot.
“You don’t have to give them to me, I don’t need them. You keep them.”
But at that moment Gu Yuanzhou chimed in,
“Where’s the file?”
“In my car!”
“Give it to me!”
“Sorry, Mr. Gu, I can’t give it to you!”
“What do you mean? You want to negotiate a condition, don’t you?”
“Not about any conditions, I don’t know you well. Why would I give it to you?”
For a moment, the two were at odds.
I quickly intervened, “Wenya, give it to him!”
Wenya scolded me again after hearing this,
“You really are too softhearted, always going along with him.”
Then she said to Gu Yuanzhou,
“Well, fine. Since my friend asked, I will give it to you. It’s in my car, come with me to get it if you want.”
Wenya turned and walked away. Gu Yuanzhou was eager to get the file and didn’t notice he had let go of my hand as he followed Wenya to the parking lot.
Just then, Su Peisheng rushed over grabbing my arm and quickly pulled me into the car.
Just as the car bolted out of the hotel’s parking lot, Gu Yuanzhou realized he had been tricked. He let go of Wenya and ran a few steps after the car.
After all, two legs can’t outrun four wheels.
He could only stand by the road, watching our car get farther and farther away.
I turned to look at Su Peisheng, “What about Wenya?”
“Don’t worry, his target isn’t Wenya, she’ll be here soon!”
Sure enough, half an hour later, Wenya called. She was laughing loudly on the phone.
“Gu Yuanzhou, that scumbag, was finally played by me once. I’m so thrilled. Let’s go to the hotel to celebrate later and welcome Ayun back.”
But at this moment, I had no mood for eating or drinking. My heart was set on Ding Yinuo.
“No, Wenya, I don’t want to go to the hotel, I want to see Ding Yinuo!”
“Eh, do you really want to see him?”
“Yes!”
Wenya hesitated for a long time before saying, “Alright then!”
“No, wait, let me go back to the Xishan Residence first! If I go to see him looking like this, I might scare him.”
“Okay!”
Half an hour later, we were back at the Xishan Residence.
Even though it’s Ding Yinuo’s home, I moved in here since our engagement, and all my personal belongings and clothes are here.
During my sick days, I was always in hospital gowns and smelled of medicine. I couldn’t let Ding Yinuo see me like this.
It’d be troublesome if I scared him.
As soon as we got back, I took a shower.
Most of my injuries had healed, except for a gash on my scalp that was still bandaged.
Although it looked a bit ugly, a bit of hairstyling could conceal it.
After changing into casual clothes and putting on light makeup to make my complexion less pale,
Wenya made me a cup of tea. We sat on the sofa, while she filled me in on the past few days…
Turns out, I wasn’t hallucinating a few days ago.
She really did come to look for me.
But at that time, I was locked inside, and after I didn’t respond to her calling out my name a few times, she left.
Then, for all these days, she’s been looking for me.
She suspected that I had hidden the files here and predicted that Gu Yuanzhou would come looking for them.
So, whenever she had free time, she and Su Peisheng would come to this place.
Surprisingly, she ran into us.
I took a sip of the tea and nodded,
“Wenya, I’m lucky to have you, otherwise, I would still be imprisoned by that scumbag Gu Yuanzhou.”
“Next time you see him, run far away… Wait, how does he have a marriage certificate?”
“Was it the one from my previous marriage to him? Then he forged it? I don’t know, let’s not talk about that scumbag.”
After resting for a while, Wenya originally planned to take me out for a meal, but because I was so worried about Ding Yinuo, I wasn’t interested in other plans.
“I think I’ll go see Ding Yinuo first!”
Wenya and Su Peisheng looked at each other.
Su Peisheng said, “I think we should tell her the truth, so she’s prepared.”
Wenya blinked and looked at me, her tone somewhat serious.
“Ayun, there’s something you need to be prepared for.”
I realized the seriousness of the situation,
“Wenya, tell me quickly, did Ding Yinuo… not make it?”
I dared only to speak the last few words after a long pause.
