C9 The Mysterious Saviour

However, Zhou Zixiao was different. He sat down in front of his desk and knocked on it. He said gently, "I came here on orders."

Gu Yingjue said, Oh.

Zhou Zixiao did not care and continued, "Xiaomei has been very free during this period of time. She did not need to film or attend classes. My mother kept persuading her to go out and play with her friends."

Gu Yingjue closed his eyes and said, "A little girl should go out and play."

Zhou Zixiao raised his neatly trimmed eyebrows and smiled. "She is waiting for you to ask her out."

Gu Yingjue did not say anything.

Zhou Zixiao continued, "Xiaomei is now an adult and is getting closer and closer to the date of your arranged marriage. You should also take some time to get along well. You can't just get married like strangers, right?"

Gu Yingjue glanced at him. "You are getting more and more hesitant."

Zhou Zixiao smiled. "I am doing it for the two of you."

"Alright, alright. I know what to do."

Gu Yingjue got up and picked up his coat. He tilted his head and asked, "I'm going to have lunch. Shall we go together?"

Zhou Zixiao joked, "I don't dare. I will have a stomachache if I look at your icy face."

Gu Yingjue shrugged and left.

The headquarters of the ZA Group was located in the H City. It was also the tallest building in the entire country, the H City. Apart from the floor, all the walls were built with tempered glass. Gu Yingjue. Walking along the company corridor, he glanced outside. He could see the sky full of white snow falling down.

The small figure he saw in the morning appeared in his mind. Gu Yingjue was slightly startled and quickly threw it to the back of his mind.

At night, Yee Xiaonian sat alone on the Gu family's sofa. The sofa was very big and soft, but it was also very spacious. There were servants bustling back and forth around her, making her appear even more lonely.

There were many benefits to having money. In this cold winter night, the Gu family's heating system was opened as if it was free, causing Yee Xiaonian's face to still be red from the heat even though she was wearing a thin jacket and casual pants.

At this moment, not only was she hot, but she was also very nervous. Her fingers tightly gripped the small coin, and her joints turned green. The strength was so great that her skin was almost bleeding. The black leather sofa under her butt also seemed to be full of thorns. It made her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

This kind of tension continued to accumulate until ten o'clock at night, when Gu Yingjue's headlights lit up outside the courtyard, and finally reached the peak.

The butler took out an umbrella to welcome Gu Yingjue. The female servant followed behind him and helped him take his coat. Everyone surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon, because he was the well-deserved king here.

Yee Xiaonian, who was under someone else's roof and carried a heavy responsibility, also wanted to welcome him like those people, but she did not dare. The hand that held the coin was shaking like a sieve.

Whoever held the power would be able to control everything.

Gu Yingjue rarely spoke. Attempting to greet or chat with others would never happen to him, but even so, no one dared to ignore him.

Yee Xiaonian sat with her back facing the door and lowered her head. She heard Gu Yingjue's leather shoes hitting the ground, creating a deep and powerful sound.

One, two, three.

It was like the footsteps of a god of death, but it was also Yee Xiaonian's last straw.

The footsteps finally stopped behind her. Yee Xiaonian's heart was beating like thunder, and her entire body was filled with tension. She did not even dare to move her hair.

"Have you eaten?"

Yee Xiaonian felt as if she was hearing things. Those few words did not seem to have come from Gu Yingjue's mouth, but it was clearly his voice. It was low and sexy like a cellist.

She turned around in surprise. "Huh?"

Gu Yingjue had already taken off his coat. The custom-made high-end hand-made suit from Italy was very fitting. It made his figure look even more magnificent. Because he had just come in from outside the cold room, his skin was even paler than before. His eyebrows were even darker, and he had an imposing manner.

Gu Yingjue took off his gloves and handed them to the maid beside him. He did not look at Yee Xiaonian the whole time. However, his words were clearly directed at her. "This is not a shelter. If there is no result, you should go back earlier. It is not good to order takeout."

This was an undisguised ridicule. The anger in Yee Xiaonian's heart was instantly ignited. The tension had long been thrown to the horizon. She stood up and looked at him. She said loudly, "You look down on people! In your heart, I can't even do this kind of thing?"

Gu Yingjue did not have a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth. He raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Isn't it?"

"Could it be that you want to change the word? Of course not..." Yee Xiaonian took a deep breath and opened her prepared right hand. It flashed in front of his eyes and said proudly, "Look, I found it!"

Although her movements were very fast and Gu Yingjue only had time to take a look, he also knew that in the clean and soft palm, there was a coin that was shining.

Gu Yingjue was expressionless. "So what?"

"So what? You said that as long as I find the coin, you will let me stay."

Yee Xiaonian crossed her arms in front of her chest and questioned. "Are you going to go back on your word?"

Gu Yingjue was not moved at all. "I am talking about the coin you found that I threw, not the coin in your hand."

Yee Xiaonian's heart skipped a beat and she was somewhat flustered. She subconsciously put on a defensive posture and asked loudly, "What do you mean?"

However, as soon as she said that, she immediately went back on her words. Gu Yingjue was not her competitor, but the judge and the person who came up with the question. If she argued with him, it would not do her any good regardless of the outcome.

The only thing she could do now was to pray in her heart.

There were millions of coins in the world. She did not believe that Gu Yingjue could look at them one by one.

Gu Yingjue was not angry. He was as calm and cold as always, but what he said next made Yee Xiaonian fall into an ice cave.

"What I mean is..." Gu Yingjue looked at her from above. His eyes were like a bottomless lake. "Your love is not sincere at all."

After he said that, he waved his hand to snatch it. Yee Xiaonian immediately panicked. She hurriedly hid her right hand behind her back, but she forgot. At this moment, the person standing in front of her was not an ordinary man. He was a business lion. His name was Gu Yingjue.

Gu Yingjue's philosophy was that as long as it was something he wanted to do, no one could stop him.

Yee Xiaonian was an opponent that was not worth mentioning. He only used one hand to easily restrain her and then took the coin that was dyed with body temperature from her palm.

Gu Yingjue looked at the coin as if he was looking at a joke. "Are you going to use this kind of thing to coax me?"

His hand was like a giant clamp, firmly trapping Yee Xiaonian. Yee Xiaonian could not help but struggle, but in the end, she was trapped even tighter.

She was still unconvinced and was unwilling to give up. She asked, "What right do you have to say that it is fake? I looked for it all day! My fingers were frostbitten and my socks were frozen. What right do you have to deny me!?"

"I'm not denying you. My fingers are frostbitten, and my socks are frozen. I believe this is the truth, but... " Gu Yingjue shook the coin and continued, "The coin I threw yesterday was a commemorative coin specially forged during the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the H City Bank. My profile picture is printed on it. There are only two in the world, one in my hand. The other coin is in the bank's vault in H City. "

Yee Xiaonian lowered her head, her heart was dead. Did she fail just like that? Why was it so useless? She could not even grasp her only chance?

Gu Yingjue let go of her hand, and Yee Xiaonian fell to the ground like a pile of mud, leaning against the foot of the sofa.

The coin was thrown into her arms, like a slap to her face.

Yee Xiaonian did not feel shy, only despair.

She was so lost that she did not even care if Gu Yingjue had left or not.

The snow was still falling outside. Yee Xiaonian picked up her tattered backpack like a marionette and walked into the snow on her ankle.

The snow was vast and boundless, as if she and Zhang Xiaohua had an unknown life.

The facilities in the villa area were complete and the streetlights were the only accompanying people in the night. Yee Xiaonian walked along the road and after an unknown amount of time, a small bridge suddenly appeared in front of her.

Looking around, she saw that the snow white pine tree was standing alone against the wind. It turned out that she was lost in the road, and deviated from the main road outside the community, and walked into the park that the villa complex brought with it.

This park was artificially constructed, so it naturally could not be compared to the famous forest park in H City. However, when it was first built, the ZA Corporation, in order to show that it was beside the mountain and the water, the Ghost Axe Godly Engineer had specially chosen a place with a river to build it.

The water in the river was alive. It flowed all year round and was extremely deep. Even though the sky was cold and the earth was frozen, the surface of the water did not freeze.

Yee Xiaonian's brain heated up. She walked to the middle of the small bridge and stepped out of the railing. After hesitating for a long time, she wanted to take out her phone to call Zhang Xiaohua and tell her that she did not have any rich uncle. She also could not help her repay the huge debt. Everything was a lie to her.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Yee Xiaonian lost the patience to wait. She put away the phone and looked at the flowing river.

At this moment, there was a car horn behind her. Yee Xiaonian thought that someone was making way for her. She smiled bitterly and stood to the side. Who knew that the bridge was frozen. She lost her balance and fell from the bridge.

She only had time to scream. After the world turned upside down, the ice cold water completely wrapped her body and rushed into her ears, nose, and throat.

When it was cold to the extreme, Yee Xiaonian did not feel cold anymore. Before Yee Xiaonian lost consciousness, she felt that someone had also jumped down from the bridge and went through the cold water to find her and hug her tightly.

She did not know who that person was but she remembered that his chest was very wide and warm. His heartbeat was strong and strong, giving her the strength to survive.

When Yee Xiaonian woke up, she returned to the familiar guest room of the Gu family.

What was different from the last time was that this time, Gu Yingjue did not appear. Only the butler brought her steaming hot ginger tea and good news.

"You are lucky." The housekeeper was still expressionless. He said calmly, "There was a maid who left last night. She was short of manpower. Mr. Gu allowed you to stay and help."

Yee Xiaonian was holding the ginger tea and drinking it fiercely. Her blood vessels were so warm that they were about to freeze. When she heard this, she almost choked to death. She coughed and turned the sky and the earth upside down. Then she asked with tears in her eyes, "Is it true?"
