C41 What Was Wrong with Her?

How did she end up like this?

After Gu Qingyou returned to the small apartment she rented for Aunt Shu at the edge of C City, she had been thinking about what An Yaru had said to her.

Her originally calm heart was no longer calm.

She did not seem to have considered what she should do in her relationship with Jiang Juan.

Xia Qingchen had also said similar things. She and Jiang Juan got along with each other day and night, so it was inevitable that they would develop feelings for each other. If a person's feelings could not be controlled by reason, and were controlled by their heart, then their feelings would often lose control in the end.

At the moment, she knew very well that she and Jiang Juan were only doing business, and there was absolutely no possibility of falling in love. However, she had to admit that Jiang Juan did indeed have a charm that attracted her.

Putting aside his excellent appearance and wealth, he treated her with respect as if she was a guest. She was very used to it.

Also, just like what An Yaru had said. . . She felt that he still had some tolerance for her. She said that his appearance and heart were different. He was not angry. She accused him of being "despicable" because of Sheng Jingchuan, and he also smiled. This time, in order to let her see her mother's true colors, To let her get rid of the demands of her mother, he did not hesitate to waste a million.

She was truly grateful to him.

If it wasn't for his help, she wouldn't have been able to repay her mother, and perhaps she would never have been able to see her mother's true colors.

The truth that he had shown her might have been cruel to her, but it had given her a bright future. From now on, she had completely broken free from the shackles of her mother, and could finally live for herself.

In the small living room that was illuminated by the faint yellow floor-to-ceiling windows, Gu Qingyou hugged her pillow and leaned against the cloth sofa. She was lost in her thoughts for a long time.

Finally, she took out her phone and sent him a thank you text message.

Boss Jiang, thank you for helping me. That one million will be your second payment in advance.

She originally planned to call him, but because of An Yaru's reminder, she chose to send such a simple and concise message to him.

An Yaru was right. In this relationship with Jiang Juan, she needed to think carefully.

She absolutely could not have any indecent thoughts towards Jiang Juan, and to prevent such a situation from happening, she could only maintain a business relationship with Jiang Juan and had nothing else to do with him.

After Gu Qingyou sent this message, she did not consider whether Jiang Juan would reply her. She went straight to the bathroom, took a shower, and went to sleep.

The neon lights lit up the entire city, and N City entered the bustling and noisy night.

Jiang Juan's hands were inserted into the high-end suit pants bag, and he stood alone in front of the large French window. His tall and handsome figure gave off a cold feeling.

Xia Qingchen stared at Jiang Juan's dark back that was in stark contrast with the bright world outside the glass curtain. After a long time, she raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in. "

Jiang Juan's indifferent voice was heard.

Xia Qingchen pressed the button on the electric wheelchair and drove towards Jiang Juan.

The sound of the wheelchair rolling broke the silence in the presidential suite, but Jiang Juan did not look back.

Xia Qingchen stopped the wheelchair beside Jiang Juan and looked outside as he looked. She said slowly, "I can't sleep. I wanted to go to the balcony to get some air, but I saw that your door was not closed. That's why I knew you didn't sleep either. "

Jiang Juan said calmly, "You should go back to New York. "

Xia Qingchen turned her head and stared at Jiang Juan's lonely side profile.

He was high and mighty, and his entire body emitted a cold and serene aura. His sideways face had a heroic spirit, but he was resolute and cold.

Xia Qingchen's throat moved, "Are you blaming me for secretly returning to the country without your permission?"

Jiang Juan's dark and gloomy eyes did not have the slightest ripple, and he did not answer.

A touch of dejection flashed across Xia Qingchen's eyes. She restrained her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "You know that I do not want to be separated from you. But you can rest assured that even if I stay in the country, before the transaction between you and Gu Qingyou ends, I will definitely not expose myself to make Director Jiang and his wife suspect. "

"If you can't do it, I will ask Ye Shuo to send you back to New York. " After Jiang Juan finished speaking, he turned around coldly.

Xia Qingchen still wanted to say something to Jiang Juan, but what she faced was Jiang Juan's cold back.

Jiang Juan went straight to the luxurious and exquisite living room in the CEO's suite and sat down. He lit a cigarette. The blue flame lit up his handsome face.

Xia Qingchen looked at him from afar and felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

In the eyes of outsiders, they had been together for a long time. But who knew that there was no relationship between them at all. To be more precise, he had no feelings for her at all. In fact, he had always firmly refused her.

However, she did not regret it.

As long as she could stay by his side and look at him every day in the future, she would be satisfied.

Xia Qingchen thought of this and took a deep breath before leaving the room.

Jiang Juan rarely smoked unless it was when his heart was unable to calm down.

He was very sad that he met Qi Yuanheng today. Even though he saw Qi Yuanheng's gloomy expression when he lost, he still did not feel any better.

When he saw Qi Yuanheng again, he clearly remembered the memories buried deep in his heart that he did not want to remember.

If it wasn't for Qi Yuanheng, his current life wouldn't be like this.

He must have already had a happy family. A simple life that he once wanted to live.

The sound of a text message on his phone pulled Jiang Juan's thoughts back.

The light from the phone lit up the living room in the darkness. He felt that the light was a little blinding, so he put out the cigarette butt and picked up the phone from the white marble coffee table.

A simple text message was displayed on the phone screen.

Boss Jiang, thank you for helping me. That one million, just treat it as the second fee you paid me in advance.

He didn't reply. He turned off the light on his phone and threw it aside. He fell on the back of the sofa.

His usually astute black eyes seemed to have lost their original flowing light at this moment. Exhausted, he stared at the light that was projected into the window from the skyflower crystal lamp.

Gu Qingyou did not know why, but tonight she kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She struggled on the bed until two o'clock in the morning and still did not fall asleep. Finally, she turned on the bedside lamp and sat up.

At this time, other than the flashing neon lights, even the C City outside the window had become silent.

She quietly leaned on the bedside. After a long time, she finally got off the bed and went to the living room. She picked up her phone from the sofa.

There was no message on the screen.

Jiang Juan did not reply her.

She was stunned for a moment before she sat down on the sofa.

She frowned slightly. She asked herself in her heart.

What happened to her?

Why did she want to see his reply like this? Even if he only replied with one word?
