C310 He's the Best at Torturing People

"Miss Jiyue, let me go in with you!" From the butler's words, he could tell that Gu Zhengchu had deliberately let Tao Ning go in alone. He was really worried.

"I'm sorry, sir. My young master said that he would only see Miss Tao Ning and would not receive guests." After Du Kai finished speaking, the butler hurriedly said something and interrupted Du Kai's thoughts.

When Du Kai heard this, he was naturally unhappy in his heart, but he did not look at the butler. He only threw his gaze at Tao Ning. As long as Tao Ning said a word, he would definitely follow her in. He did not care if that Gu Zhengchu wanted to see him or not.

"Lawyer Du, thank you for your good intentions. I think I should go in myself. Could you please wait here for a while longer?" She knew that Du Kai was worried about her going in alone, but Gu Zhengchu definitely did not want to see Du Kai go in with her.

Her father was still in his hands. If he got angry at her the moment they met, she didn't know what to say next. As for where his father was hidden by Gu Zhengchu, it was still unknown. She could only trouble Du Kai to wait here, and wait for her to ask for a reply.

"No problem. If anything happens to Miss Jiyue, just shout and I will immediately go up." Du Kai was worried and reminded her a few times before he let Tao Ning in with the housekeeper.

After entering the door, the housekeeper immediately locked the door. Du Kai chased after her and wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Tao Ning was also very surprised by this action. She asked with a gloomy face, "This is what he meant?"

Actually, it did not need to be asked to know. What the housekeeper did must have been instructed by Gu Zhengchu. But once she entered the door, she immediately locked the door. Wasn't this too much?

The butler knew that Tao Ning was asking about Gu Zhengchu and could only laugh dryly, "Young Master probably hasn't seen Miss Tao Ning for a long time. He misses Miss Tao Ning a lot."

Such an excuse... Forget it, Tao Ning did not want to make things difficult for the butler. She turned around and walked towards the main house. The butler quickly caught up, but he could not help but ask curiously, "Miss Jiyue, that mister just now shouldn't be the driver, right? "

If he was a driver, how could he be so familiar with him and even say that he wanted to follow him in?

"It's not the driver. He's a friend of mine." After Tao Ning answered, she suddenly felt that what he said was a little strange. She looked at the butler and said, "Is this also not allowed to him?"

The butler should not be so talkative. Then why did he suddenly have such a question? Was he asking on Gu Zhengchu's behalf?

Gu Zhengchu must be suspicious of the person who sent her here, right? Thus, he had the butler come out to welcome her and ask her about it.

"This... I was just curious to ask. It wasn't Young Master who asked me to ask. Miss Tao Ning, don't misunderstand." The butler smiled awkwardly. After that, he didn't speak anymore and led Tao Ning to the living room on the second floor.

Along the way, Tao Ning could not help but notice the decorations and decorations around her. It was the same as when she left. Even the blanket that Gu Zhengchu had laid on the table had not been removed. There was no change at all.

Was he sure that she would come back?

For some reason, Tao Ning's heart felt like it had been seized by someone. She could not breathe freely anymore.

Was it because of his shrewdness, or was it because she could not escape her fate? She could not say it clearly for a moment. In short, when she saw this, she had a premonition that it was easy to enter. If she wanted to leave again, it would not be so easy.

The butler walked to Gu Zhengchu's door and knocked on it. The person opposite him said, "Young Master, Miss Tao Ning is already here and is waiting for you in the living room. Young Master..."

The housekeeper called a few times but did not get a reply. He could only turn around and say to Tao Ning, "Miss Tao Ning, please sit for a while. Young Master is not up yet. I will go and bring you some coffee."

"He is not up? Then how did he know I came?" Tao Ning stared at the tightly shut door and asked the housekeeper.

"Young Master knows you came? No, he doesn't know!" When the butler heard this, he felt baffled.

"If he doesn't know that I'm here, why would he ask you to pick me up?" Tao Ning continued to expose the butler's words.

The butler was not troubled at all and very quickly replied, "It was not Young Master who asked me to go. No, it was Young Master who said it. But the young master said before he went to sleep last night that he wanted me to take good care of him. Miss Tao Ning will be here at any time."

"He told you to wait at the door for the whole night?" Tao Ning looked at the housekeeper in shock and indeed found that the housekeeper's face was full of sleepiness. This Gu Zhengchu really knew how to torture people!

"Young Master did not mean that either. Young Master only said that Miss Tao Ning might come at any time. But when Miss Tao Ning came, she immediately opened the door and let you in. I'm afraid that I won't know if you come or not. Then, I moved the chair and waited in the yard for the whole night."

The butler waved his hand and explained that the young master wanted him to wait at the door for the whole night. It was because he was afraid that if he couldn't do it, he would make the young master unhappy. The young master wasn't that happy these few days, and he really didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Hearing that it was because of her responsibility that the housekeeper didn't sleep for the whole night, Tao Ning apologized in shame.

"Sigh, Miss Tao Ning is being too harsh. As long as you can come, not to mention waiting for one night, even a hundred nights would not be a problem. You haven't come these few days, and even Young Master has lost his smile. I look at him and worry in my heart."

After the butler finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and went downstairs, but his words still echoed in Tao Ning's ears.

Without her by his side, would Gu Zhengchu not have a smile? Was she really that important in his heart? She really never knew!

If she was really that important, why would he hurt her like that and plot against her, afraid that she would live a better life?

Tao Ning sat on the sofa and lowered her head in silence. The butler quickly brought coffee over. After putting it down, he left, leaving Tao Ning to continue waiting for Gu Zhengchu in the living room.

Tao Ning also did not sleep the whole night. Plus, after her father went missing, she did not have a good sleep. At this moment, she suddenly felt a headache. Tao Ning reached out her hand to press on her throbbing temple and frowned deeply.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Gu Zhengchu, who was wearing pajamas, stood at the door and looked at her.

Tao Ning's brows knitted even deeper because of the pain that had not been alleviated. She only felt a shadow in front of her eyes. At that moment, the shadow had already arrived in front of her. She grabbed her arm and pulled it forcefully, and she entered a warm embrace. In the next moment, she was lifted horizontally by someone.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tao Ning struggled as she stared at Gu Zhengchu's face.

This bastard deliberately pretended not to hear her and made her wait in the living room. When he appeared, he did not say a word and did such a thing. He really hated it.
