C8 The Conditions Left Behind

Yee Xiaonian said angrily, "That bastard! Don't you know to call the police?"

Zhang Xiaohua said haltingly, "They have my nude photo in their hands. They said that if they call the police, they will announce it."

Yee Xiaonian was so angry that she did not know what to say about her.

Zhang Xiaohua was also at a loss as to what to do. She sobbed, "Xi Fu, what do you think I should do now... If I don't return the money, they will definitely kill me. One million, where can I get so much money..."

"I have already advised you not to interact with that bastard. You must listen!"

Yee Xiaonian was disappointed. A cold wind blew and she wrapped her wrinkled coat tightly. She lowered her voice and said, "You should recuperate in the hospital now. I will think of a way to get the money."

"But what can you do?"

Yee Xiaonian did not want to tell her the agreement she made with that stranger. She casually lied and said, "You don't know. I have a very rich uncle who is doing business in H City. I will go and borrow money from him."

Zhang Xiaohua said happily, "Really? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Of course. I'm in the car now. I'm going to his house." Yee Xiaonian smiled and said," So you don't have to worry about the money. I'm getting off the car soon. I'll go to the hospital to see you another day. "

Zhang Xiaohua repeatedly thanked him. From the looks of it, she wanted to worship her as a living Bodhisattva.

Yee Xiaonian, on the other hand, held her phone and sat on the cold flower bed. The cold wind blew and she did not know where to go next.

What exactly should she do to take Gu Yingjue down? He was so rich, so cold, so high and mighty. He was completely different from ordinary men. Yee Xiaonian knew that she did not have the capital to attract him, so there was only one path left for her to persevere on.

Through these few days of contact, she felt that Gu Yingjue actually had some humanity. When she was in the hotel, he did not throw her out of the door naked. Yesterday, he even asked a doctor to treat her gunshot wounds.

"Do your best. As long as you persist, there is nothing that you cannot do!"

Yee Xiaonian secretly encouraged herself. She carried a bag on her back, dragged her injured leg, and limped to the door of the Gu residence. She stood by the flower bed and waited for Gu Yingjue to come back from work at night.

The sky was not beautiful. At noon, snowflakes started to fall from the sky.

Yee Xiaonian tightly hugged the bag and tried to shrink herself into a ball. Her hands and neck were all pulled into her clothes and she used her willpower to resist the unbearable cold.

When Gu Yingjue returned, the sky was already completely dark. When he opened the car door, he saw that there was a "snowman" in front of his door. Under his instructions, the bodyguard pushed Yee Xiaonian. Yee Xiaonian immediately fell down with a push. Her face was pale and she did not even know to move her fingers. Obviously, she had lost consciousness.

The bodyguard looked back at her, not knowing what to do. "Mr. Gu, this..."

Gu Yingjue did not answer immediately. His gaze fell on Yee Xiaonian's leg, which was wrapped in gauze. He remembered that the gauze was newly changed in the morning, but it was now soaked in fresh blood. It was probably because the weather was too cold that the wound opened again.

Snow fell on Gu Yingjue's broad shoulder. The housekeeper quickly took the umbrella out to welcome him. He walked under the umbrella and said to the bodyguard lightly, "Bring it in first."

"Yes!"

Under the housekeeper's command, the bodyguards carried Yee Xiaonian into the living room and placed her on the carpet. The living room had a heating system. After a while, Yee Xiaonian slowly woke up.

She looked at the surroundings and immediately understood. She knew that she was once again rescued by Gu Yingjue. As she touched the rough carpet under her hands, she did not know if she should be happy or sad.

Gu Yingjue sat on the sofa not far away from her. Seeing that she had woken up, he gestured to the maid beside him and continued to read the documents.

After a while, the maid brought a steaming hot meal and placed it in front of Yee Xiaonian. Yee Xiaonian had been hungry all day and her chest had long been pressed against her back. Hence, she did not care about the sadness in her heart that could not be seen in the light and started wolfing down the food.

After finishing the last mouthful of rice, Yee Xiaonian put down her chopsticks and burped, saying, "At least you still have some human nature."

Gu Yingjue stared at the document and did not even raise his eyes. He said lightly, "If I had no human nature, you would have long frozen to death outside."

Yee Xiaonian walked in front of him with a smile. She squatted down and looked at him eagerly. "Then you might as well be a little more kind and marry me, okay?"

The main chandelier in the living room was warm yellow. The light and shadow were cast on Gu Yingjue's straight nose. His cold face was dyed with some tenderness. He finally moved his gaze. He lowered his head to look at Yee Xiaonian. Once he opened his mouth, it made her fall into an ice cave again.

"What do you think you are based on?"

Yee Xiaonian froze and laughed dryly, "The man is unmarried and the woman is not married. He just slept on the same bed not long ago. Marriage is very normal, isn't it?"

Gu Yingjue said coldly, "All of this was your own decision. I did not agree to it."

"Then what you mean is... Are you going to deny it?"

Gu Yingjue put down the document, rubbed his forehead and said, "I hope you know one thing, the reason why I saved you. What? Or maybe... I accept everything you've done. "

His voice was not loud, but his words seemed to hit Yee Xiaonian's face, making her cheeks burn with pain. She took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly do I have to do to make you accept me?"

Gu Yingjue looked into her eyes and said word by word, "No matter what."

"Why not..."

Yee Xiaonian's tears burst and she hugged the leg of the coffee table beside her and cried, "Why don't you like me? What part of me do you not like? You can tell me to change it... I just want to be with you..."

Gu Yingjue did not say anything. He looked coldly at the falling snowflakes outside the huge window.

The butler standing by the side gave a look to the maid and two maids came up to pull Yee Xiaonian. As they pulled, they advised, "Miss Yee, Mr. Gu is going to rest. You should also go back."

"No! I am not leaving!"

Yee Xiaonian shook their hands off and looked at Gu Yingjue. She said loudly, "If you want me to give up, at least tell me a reason!"

"What kind of reason do you want?"

Gu Yingjue turned to look at her and said in a deep voice, "You are just a stranger to me. I don't even know your name."

"If you don't know, I can tell you!"

Yee Xiaonian took two steps forward and pulled on his pants. She said sincerely, "My name is Yee Xiaonian. I am 20 years old this year. I have no parents. I live by setting up stalls. What else do you want to know? I can tell you everything. "

Gu Yingjue pulled his legs out and walked to the window. He said coldly, "Sorry, I am not interested in everything about you."

Yee Xiaonian crawled to his feet and begged with red and swollen eyes, "I beg you, please give me a chance to stay no matter what..."

She looked up at him with a humble attitude, as if she was looking at a god who controlled fate. And it was the truth. If Gu Yingjue did not agree, Yee Xiaonian would not be able to get that one million. She would not get that one million. Zhang Xiaohua definitely would not be able to live.

Zhang Xiaohua was the only reliance in her life and Yee Xiaonian could not imagine the life she would have to live alone in the future.

She opened her eyes and allowed her tears to flow down her weak neck, trying to move her heart that was as cold as an iceberg.

After a long while, Gu Yingjue's thin lips moved, "Alright."

These two short words sounded like the sound of nature to Yee Xiaonian. She stood up happily and asked in disbelief, "Really? You really promised me to stay?"

"Yes, but I have a condition."

Gu Yingjue took out a coin from his custom-made wool suit and opened the window. To the window. He threw it far away in the snow outside, then said expressionlessly, "I will give you one day tomorrow, as long as you get this coin back. I'll let you stay. "

The snow was so heavy now. When it came out tomorrow, the coin would have been buried deep under the snow. Even if he flipped through all the snow outside the window, he might not be able to find it. He was clearly doing this on purpose...

Yee Xiaonian's smile froze and she looked at the window without saying anything.

Gu Yingjue closed the window and said, "If you are not willing to find it, I will not force you. But I hope that you will not come and disturb my life in the future."

"Yes!" Yee Xiaonian suddenly slammed the table and gritted her teeth. "I will definitely find it!"

It was just a coin. Although it was thrown far away, it would always be returned to this courtyard. She could definitely find it!

"Then I will wait for your good news."

Gu Yingjue said calmly. He picked up the documents he had seen earlier and turned around to walk into the study.

Yee Xiaonian stood by the window for a while and found the housekeeper. She carefully asked, "Can I stay here tonight?"

The butler's lips moved as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he sighed and said softly, "Come with me."

The next day, not only did the snow not stop, but it also fell even more.

Gu Yingjue finished breakfast. When he passed by the courtyard, he saw a small figure squatting outside the window of the living room. Two naked hands were rummaging through the snow. A layer of white snow had accumulated on the thin coat.

The butler was supporting him with an umbrella. Seeing him stop, he cautiously opened his mouth. "Mr. Gu, actually, we still need a maid at home. I think she..."

Gu Yingjue did not answer. He looked away and walked towards the car parked outside the courtyard. The butler tactfully swallowed the rest of his words and followed with the umbrella in his hand.

At noon, Gu Yingjue finished his morning meeting. Not long after he returned to the office, he saw Zhou Zixiao, the manager of the Planning Department, push open the door and walk in.

Gu Yingjue glanced at him and said lightly, "Even if you are the CEO's childhood friend, you should knock on the door before you come in."

Zhou Zixiao was stunned and went back to the door. He knocked on the door with his slender fingers and said with a gentle smile, "That should be enough, right?"

Gu Yingjue did not say anything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

If the assistant or anyone in the company saw this scene, they would definitely be so shocked that they would not be able to close their mouths. Because Gu Yingjue's image in the company had always been that of a workaholic. He wished that every minute and every second would be used for meetings and projects. He rarely showed such a relaxed attitude.
