C23 Did You Take Your Medicine

When the chef heard her voice, he turned around and looked at her unhappily, "What are you doing in the kitchen?!"

Yee Xiaonian quickly apologized and ignored her bleeding fingers. She squatted down to pick up the potatoes.

The maid crossed her arms over her chest and stood at the side. She snorted coldly, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Cheh..."

If she had not come to snatch it, how could such a thing have happened? Now, she was instead mocking and mocking him, pretending that it had nothing to do with her. Yee Xiaonian was not someone who had no temper. The anger in her heart slowly rose, and she wanted to refute. However, she saw the housekeeper hurriedly walk into the kitchen and sweep around. She saw that she was squatting on the ground. He scolded: "Why are you still here? Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the study."

"Sorry, sorry, I will go now." Yee Xiaonian could only put down the potato and follow the butler to the study room. Just as she turned to leave, she heard a mocking voice from the kitchen.

"A toad wants to eat swan meat."

Yee Xiaonian paused and hesitated to turn around and scold back. She looked up and saw that the butler was still walking forward as if he did not hear her. She could only suppress her anger.

There were many female servants in the Gu family. Up until now, Yee Xiaonian only knew Ms Fann and Little Wu. Other people usually did not have much of a relationship but they worked together. They looked up and did not lower their heads to see each other every day. They did not need to openly bully others like this. Why did it become like this all of a sudden today?

Was it because of that morning?

Yee Xiaonian tried her best to recall. Because it was too sudden at that time, she did not have time to take a closer look. It seemed that there were indeed a few maids who were present to witness everything.

But what happened between her and Gu Yingjue, what did it have to do with them?

Although she had another motive, she had already suffered a bloody punishment.

Yee Xiaonian was furious. When she walked to the door of the study, she felt as if there was a huge stone pressing down on her heart. She did not even have time to think about the reason why Gu Yingjue had come to find her.

After the butler brought her to the study, he opened the door and turned around to leave.

At this time, Yee Xiaonian suddenly realized who she was going to face next and was somewhat panicky. She turned around to ask the butler for information and was ready to go in. However, Gu Yingjue's unique melodious voice could be heard from the study.

"Come in."

At this point, Yee Xiaonian took a deep breath and hid her injured hand behind her back. She lowered her head and walked in, stopping in front of the desk.

"Did you put your pillow down?"

"Ah?" Yee Xiaonian looked up in confusion.

Gu Yingjue was sitting on the black leather sofa behind the desk. He looked at her expressionlessly. "What are you doing with your head down?"

Yee Xiaonian understood what he meant. She awkwardly touched her neck and said, "It's a little..."

"Why do I remember that you are in good health? Who would dare to climb onto a bed?"

Yee Xiaonian's face was red and she lowered her head again. Because she did not have the confidence, her voice was like a mosquito snorting, "Sorry, I went too far that day. I did not..."

Gu Yingjue interrupted her, "You do not need to apologize to me. I did not ask you to come for this matter."

Yee Xiaonian carefully raised her head and looked at him timidly, "Then you are..."

Gu Yingjue stood up and took out a stack of bound documents from the cabinet beside him. He threw it in front of her and sat down again to look at her. His eyes were still cold and without any warmth.

Gu Yingjue raised his chin with extremely smooth lines and gestured, "Take a look."

Yee Xiaonian subconsciously reached out to take it, but when her eyes swept over the content on the first page, she immediately retracted her hand as if she was shocked by electricity and gave up on this idea.

The content on the first page was very simple. It was a person's information table, and there were colorful one-inch photos on it.

There was no one in the world who was more familiar with that photo than Yee Xiaonian because it was printed on her identification card.

"Don't you want to see it? Then let me read it for you." Gu Yingjue picked up the document and read it fluently. "Name, Yee Xiaonian. Gender, female, age..."

Yee Xiaonian could not hold it in and asked, "You sent someone to investigate me?"

As expected, Gu Yingjue stopped and threw the information on the table. He looked at her coldly. "Is it very strange? You work at my house, don't you?"

Yee Xiaonian could not help but pinch the corner of her apron and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? I should be the one asking you this question." Although Gu Yingjue was sitting on the sofa and was slightly lower than her, the pressure in his eyes could not be ignored.

"I have said it many times. I love you, so I am staying here."

Gu Yingjue was unmoved. He coldly curled his lips and mocked, "Is that so? This sentence should have been learned from your good friend."

The "good friend" he spoke of could be known without even thinking. Yee Xiaonian had only one friend since she was young, and that was Zhang Xiaohua.

Her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling," What did you guys do to her? "

"Don't worry, she is fine."

Yee Xiaonian heard the answer and heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Yingjue glanced at her and continued, "Don't be happy too early. Just because she is fine doesn't mean you are also fine."

"Then what do you want?"

"According to the information, your good friend is a third time professional. He has cheated money from his financial backer many times. Two years ago, he was arrested by his financial backer and was detained for a few months. "

Yee Xiaonian heard what he said and could not help but frown.

She was very familiar with Zhang Xiaohua's matter, even though she often fell in love with rich men. But that was all open and aboveboard. She had never been a mistress to anyone. The fraud was even more fictitious. Yee Xiaonian still remembered the incident of her being detained two years ago. At that time, Zhang Xiaohua had a new boyfriend, and that man lied to her that he was single. In the end, when the two of them were shopping, their original husband came and beat Zhang Xiaohua up. He even accused her of cheating money and called the police to arrest her. In the end, it was Yee Xiaonian who brought the money to redeem him.

This matter had already been over for a long time. Who would have thought that it would be dug up again and become evidence of Zhang Xiaohua's wrongdoing? It was simply slandering!

Yee Xiaonian was just about to refute when Gu Yingjue suddenly said, "I think I understand why you approached me."

Yee Xiaonian was stunned and tensed up. She asked, "What is it?"

"You want to cheat on the support fee by carrying my child."

Yee Xiaonian heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him as if he was an idiot, "You worry too much."

Gu Yingjue was not angry. He leaned against the back of the chair and looked at her lazily. "Really? Then tell me, what are you doing?"

This question had been answered too many times and Yee Xiaonian was annoyed by it. She gave up on herself and pulled a chair to sit down. She said, "No matter how many times you ask me, I only have one answer. I want to be with you."

"You don't want to be pregnant?"

Yee Xiaonian firmly shook her head, "No."

"Then did you take your medicine?"

Yee Xiaonian was stunned at first and thought for a while before she realized what medicine he was referring to. But after understanding it, she was even more at a loss.

She had indeed forgotten about this matter.

Yee Xiaonian's face was flushed red. She put her hands on her knees and said softly, "I..."

Gu Yingjue took a panoramic view of her reaction. He did not need to hear to know the answer. He interrupted her powerless explanation and instructed solemnly.

"Just in case. Before passing the test, you must stay in the villa and work."

The pregnancy test would take at least a month. Yee Xiaonian could not help but smile bitterly. She might not be able to stay until that time.

If at the end of the month, Gu Yingjue still did not have any interest in her, she would not be able to pay the loan. At that time, the only way would be to escape with Zhang Xiaohua.

Gu Yingjue raised his eyelids. His thick eyelashes cast a shadow in his eyes. "What? You are not willing?"

Yee Xiaonian shook her head. Her voice was a little tired. "No problem. You are the master and I am a maid. You can tell me whatever you want."

Gu Yingjue nodded slightly. "You can go out."

Yee Xiaonian stood up and put the chair back to its original position. Suddenly, she felt like she was a joke.

She had already given up so much, including the most precious thing of a young girl, but in other people's eyes, it might just be a problem.

Why should she be troubled? Why should she be moved?

She turned around, and Gu Yingjue was still sitting on the sofa. His custom-made shirt was extremely well-fitting, and his hair was meticulously combed, merging with this luxurious and solemn study.

The snow stopped, and the morning sunlight shone through the French window, shining on Gu Yingjue's body and creating a dazzling circle of light for him.

The only one who was out of tune with this place was himself, who was wearing a simple maid dress.

Gu Yingjue was originally looking down at the documents. When he felt her gaze, he raised his head. Under the sunlight, his face was as handsome as a god.

Yee Xiaonian was shocked and hurriedly turned to open the door. She saw the butler hurriedly walk over and bypassed her. He bowed to Gu Yingjue and said, "Mr. Gu, Miss Zhou is here. She is waiting for you in the living room."

Gu Yingjue frowned.

Zhou Xiaomei actually planned to come and settle things. Today, she specially wore a soft wool dress and her makeup was elegant and harmless. She did not make a fuss and sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting obediently.

She knew that Gu Yingjue would come to see her, just like how no matter how much she made a fuss, she would not really give up on Gu Yingjue.

When she returned home that day, she had thought about it carefully. For an outstanding man like Gu Yingjue, it was unavoidable for other women to cling onto him. She could not blame him.

No matter how much trouble those women caused, no matter what methods they used, it was useless because in this world, only she was worthy of Gu Yingjue. The engagement between the two of them was the best proof.

Sure enough, she did not wait long before Gu Yingjue appeared in the living room, followed by the butler.

He wore a straight white shirt and pants, still as handsome and cold as ever.

Zhou Xiaomei got up to greet him, and at the same time, she revealed the sweetest smile on her face, "Jue, you are finally here."

Gu Yingjue quietly avoided her hand that was wrapping around him and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhou Xiaomei was a smart person. She did not mention anything about what had happened before. She took back her hand and pretended to casually stroke her hair.

"My mother asked me to come. It's her birthday this weekend. She asked me to invite you to join her. Do you have time?"
