C15 The Mysterious Person's Phone

However, people's calculations were not as good as the heavens. That day, Gu Yingjue did not return. Yee Xiaonian could not hold it in and went to ask the housekeeper what was going on. The housekeeper said that he had something to do and went back to his parents' house to stay for a few days.

Parents' house... Yee Xiaonian could not help but think of Zhou Xiaomei.

Could it be something related to her?

Yee Xiaonian was really curious and wanted to call or send a text to ask, but she did not have Gu Yingjue's phone number.

Leaning against the cold courtyard door, Yee Xiaonian was a little discouraged. She felt that after working so hard for so long, she had almost lost all of her face, but there was still no progress at all.

What did Gu Yingjue's performance yesterday mean? Was he willing to accept her? Or was he just using her as a joke to pass the time?

In the midst of endless disappointment, Yee Xiaonian got off work and returned home.

The next day, she specially got up early in the morning and went to that restaurant to pack another serving of soup for the Gu family.

No matter what, she had to give it a try before she knew whether it would work or not.

After learning from her previous lesson, Yee Xiaonian did not dare to put the soup outside again. Instead, she carefully hid it in her bag.

The Gu family courtyard was set up to identify faces and fingerprints. It was extremely strict. After Yee Xiaonian moved her face closer to the camera to identify, the courtyard door automatically opened. She only took two steps in when she saw the butler and Ms Fann standing in a hidden corner of the courtyard. They seemed to be lecturing.

Although Ms Fann's mouth was broken, her actions were still very neat. The butler was not someone who would find trouble for no reason. Why was he lecturing so early in the morning?

Yee Xiaonian curiously walked over and heard the butler say to Ms Fann, "You have also stayed in the Gu family for so long. You know Mr. Gu's temper. Why was he so careless just now?"

Yee Xiaonian was delighted in her heart and interrupted, "Is Mr. Gu back?"

Ms Fann lowered her head and did not say anything. The housekeeper looked back at her and instructed, "Quickly go and change your clothes. Now we need to prepare breakfast."

Yee Xiaonian asked with concern, "Did something happen to Ms Fann?"

"Mind your own business. Go and busy yourself."

The butler thought for a while and added, "Mr. Gu is in a bad mood today. I advise you to restrain yourself a little and not act like before."

Yee Xiaonian nodded. Seeing that the two did not seem to have any intention of responding to her, she carried her bag and obediently walked to the living room.

Just as she walked into the living room, she suddenly saw a tall black figure walking towards her.

Yee Xiaonian was stunned. She could clearly see that the person was Gu Yingjue.

Success or failure would depend on now!

She mustered her courage and walked in front of Gu Yingjue. She took out a hot lunchbox from her backpack and opened the lid and handed it to him.

"Mr. Gu, this is me..."

Before she could say anything, Gu Yingjue waved his hand and the lunchbox filled with hot soup was immediately sent flying!

The soup drenched Yee Xiaonian's entire body and her bare hands instantly turned red. Yee Xiaonian screamed and covered her hands as she squatted on the ground.

Gu Yingjue seemed to be a little surprised, but he did not ask about her injuries. He coldly looked at her and said in a very low voice, "Go away!"

Yee Xiaonian did not understand why he became like this today and did not care about understanding. Both of his hands were really in pain and the skin that was drenched by the soup had obviously turned red.

Gu Yingjue saw that she did not move and ran around her. The lower part of the wool coat brushed past Yee Xiaonian's head. The originally warm room seemed to have become ice all of a sudden. It was cold to the bones.

The butler saw Gu Yingjue walk out of the villa, and immediately abandoned Ms Fann, and quickly went up to greet him.

Gu Yingjue's face was cold, and his voice was low. He looked extremely cold.

"Prepare the car. I want to go to the company."

The butler immediately informed the driver and watched Gu Yingjue leave in the car.

Ms Fann had already gone back to work. The butler looked at his watch. It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and Gu Yingjue only came back in the morning. Now he left with a gloomy face. Something serious must have happened.

The butler shook his head and walked to the living room. He saw Yee Xiaonian squatting on the ground and there was a overturned lunchbox not far away. He could not help but be stunned.

He quickly understood what had happened and frowned. "Didn't I already tell you? Why did you send it up yourself?"

Yee Xiaonian covered her hands and knew that she had done something wrong and did not dare to say anything.

The butler saw that she was very hot and sighed. He said, "Forget it. It seems that Mr. Gu will not come back today. I will give you a day off. Quickly go to the hospital to take a look at your hands."

Yee Xiaonian was a little choked up. She quickly stood up and bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Butler! Thank you!"

The housekeeper waved his hand and turned to leave. Yee Xiaonian picked up the lunchbox on the ground and found a mop and rag to clean the living room before carrying the bag to the hospital.

Fortunately, the temperature of the soup was not very high. The doctor gave her a burn ointment and let her apply it every day until the swelling subsided.

Yee Xiaonian stood in the hospital hall and looked at the bustling crowd. Recalling Gu Yingjue's appearance just now, she could not help but have a sour nose.

Gu Yingjue disliked her so much, did he really not have a chance anymore...

If he could not get this one million, what would she and Zhang Xiaohua do?

Yee Xiaonian took out her phone and found Zhang Xiaohua's number, but her finger remained on the dialing button, not willing to press it.

She thought that Zhang Xiaohua had just finished the surgery not long ago and needed to recover well. Once this kind of thing was told to her, it would only affect her body.

But what could she do? Other than a young body, there was nothing else. Gu Yingjue was so outstanding, there were countless young bodies that were more beautiful and richer than her that were willing to give to him.

What right did he have to take a fancy to an ugly duckling like him?

The more Yee Xiaonian thought about it, the more despair she felt. Just as she was about to put away her phone, the phone suddenly rang. When she saw the number, she was stunned.

It was that mysterious person.

The hall was too noisy and it was not suitable to answer the phone. Yee Xiaonian walked to a remote safe passage and pressed the answer button.

A gentle male voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "How is the completion of the task?"

Yee Xiaonian's voice was a little hoarse as she softly said, "I might not be able to finish it."

"Why?"

Yee Xiaonian did not mention Gu Yingjue's attitude and only told him about Zhou Xiaomei. Finally, she said dispiritedly, "No matter how good I am to him, I can't compare to his fiancée. How could he give up on other people to marry me?"

The man did not get angry but laughed instead. His voice was as graceful as the night music.

"If you gave up for this reason, then it is not necessary. As long as you can shake him, this engagement will definitely not be an obstacle."

Yee Xiaonian did not understand why he was so sure and asked in a daze, "Why?"

The man did not answer and said confidently, "You just have to believe me."

Yee Xiaonian did not answer immediately and lowered her head to hesitate.

The man seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and reminded, "With the difference in terms of your conditions, it will be very difficult to slowly start dating. Actually you can use some methods."

"Methods?" Yee Xiaonian repeated in confusion. Didn't she always use methods before?

The man smiled and said, "Trust me, you will definitely succeed."

Since he had already said so, Yee Xiaonian also decided not to decline. Anyway, there was still half a month left. Rather than giving up and waiting for death, she might as well try her best.

After hanging up the phone, she first went home to take a shower, then went to the hairdresser to cut some hair.

It was said that cutting hair could change one's luck. Since she was born until now, her luck had always been bad, and she had been working hard at the bottom of society. Now that she met Gu Yingjue, it was also her opportunity.

What did she lose face for? So what if she was looked down upon? As long as he got the money and helped Zhang Xiaohua pay off the loan, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other. They could totally change to another city and start a new life!

The next day, Yee Xiaonian reorganized herself and went to work in high spirits.

Entering the Gu family, Yee Xiaonian changed into her maid uniform and went to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast. Ms Fann was cutting vegetables there. Yee Xiaonian quickly stood beside her and asked her about yesterday's matter.

This time, there was no housekeeper by her side and Ms Fann indeed returned to her gossipy nature and told her the entire process from beginning to end.

Actually the matter was very simple. She followed the butler's instructions and went to deliver breakfast to Gu Yingjue. Gu Yingjue was in the study reading documents and she accidentally spilled a few drops of coffee on the documents and was scolded.

Ms Fann was very dissatisfied. Since there were only the two of them in the kitchen now. She complained, "Isn't it just a document? It's not like we can't use coffee. How long have I been working in the Gu family? To actually scold me for such a small matter. That old undying butler even deducted half a month of my salary. It's really infuriating! "

Yee Xiaonian comforted him symbolically and asked a question that she was very concerned about, "Does Mr. Gu often have a bad temper?"

Ms Fann waved her hand and said, "Not really. Usually as long as I fulfill his request, there will be no problem. It is that housekeeper..."

She was still complaining non-stop and Yee Xiaonian was secretly glad in her heart.

It seemed that although Gu Yingjue was cold, he did not have a tendency to be violent. Otherwise, things in the future would be really difficult.

Footsteps came from the corridor and Ms Fann immediately became silent. The butler opened the kitchen door and looked inside. He instructed Yee Xiaonian, "Mr. Gu is awake. Immediately send him a cup of coffee."

Yee Xiaonian hurriedly nodded and opened the coffee machine. She strictly followed the butler's instructions and prepared it. She carried it with a small wooden tray carved with wood and carefully walked to Gu Yingjue's bedroom. She knocked on the tightly shut door.

Gu Yingjue's deep voice came from the room.

"Come in."

Yee Xiaonian opened the door and walked in. She gently placed the coffee on the bedside table and prepared to turn around and leave. She did not dare to look up the whole time.

Gu Yingjue's bedroom seemed to have a cold perfume. The taste was very similar to the one he gave people. As soon as he walked in, it made people feel like they were in the snow.

Gu Yingjue lazily leaned on the bed. He was wearing grey plaited pajamas and reading a thick economics book. He asked casually, "Is your hand ready?"

Yee Xiaonian stopped walking and did not look back. She was surprised by his sudden concern. Was this like giving a stick of sugar to eat?

Her fingers stroked the exquisite patterns on the tray and replied, "Thank you for your concern. It is fine now."

"That's good." Gu Yingjue flipped a page of the book and said, "Come over and massage my shoulders."

Yee Xiaonian was speechless."

This pervert really did not have such good intentions!
