C11 You Really Are a Strange Woman

"The steward had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Sheng Jingxun, he immediately greeted him respectfully.

Sheng Jingxun waved his hand, rubbing his tired forehead as he asked, "Where is she?"

"Miss Gu has been resting in the back garden today."

Gu Yuling had not been so relaxed for a long time. The injury this time actually brought her such good treatment. She was somewhat flattered.

Lying on the folding chair in the backyard of Sheng Jingxun's house, she sunbathed and closed her eyes to rest until she completely fell asleep.

She had a long dream. In the dream, she ran in the long tunnel and could not see the exit. The front and back were all pitch black darkness.

But she knew that she could not stop. The cold wind blew by her ears. She heard a strange sound and followed her. It was like a cold hand was constantly caressing her ear.

Gu Yuling could not help but shiver and increase her speed.

Suddenly, the front was as bright as day and the hundred thousand feet light almost blinded her eyes. She reached out her hand to block it and vaguely felt her body lighten.

"Don't move." A deep voice sounded beside her ear and Gu Yuling suddenly woke up from her dream.

Sheng Jingxun's handsome face suddenly appeared in her eyes. Her widened eyes were facing Sheng Jingxun's thin chin. Only then did Gu Yuling realize that she was being held horizontally by Sheng Jingxun.

"You are back," she opened her mouth awkwardly. Her body was stiff and did not dare to move. She felt that this greeting was a little strange.

It sounded like this was also her home.

Sheng Jingxun lightly nodded and gently put her on the sofa. He then sat beside her and supported his knees. He seemed very tired. "How are you today?"

"Your house is so big," Gu Yuling said, looking left and right. The cold sweat brought by the nightmare made her feel very uncomfortable. She then said, "The medicine given by the doctor is very effective. I feel that I am almost healed."

She was in a hurry to leave.

Sheng Jingxun could tell what she meant. He cast a sidelong glance at her. The corner of his lips tightened. "You don't have to be in a hurry. I gave you a leave of absence. You just need to rest here. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Fong. He will help you. Don't force yourself. "

Uncle Fong was the butler of Sheng Jingxun's family. He was also the one who watched Sheng Jingxun grow up.

Gu Yuling's heart suddenly jumped. She tugged the corner of her mouth and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "I am not that useless."

"Is it that hard to admit that you are weak?" Almost following her words, Sheng Jingxun's expression was gloomy and his tone was somewhat disappointed with her.

For some reason, Gu Yuling's palm was covered with a layer of sweat. Her fingers unconsciously tightened and she pursed her lips in silence.

The memories from her previous life told her that she could not trust anyone, much less rely on anyone. Hence, the moment she woke up in the hotel, she secretly decided that she must grit her teeth and hang on till the end.

No matter what it was.

"I hope we're friends now." Sheng Jingxun suddenly said something without thinking.

"Of course." Gu Yuling's eyelashes fluttered a few times. She answered without thinking, "If you take care of me like this and I still don't treat you as a friend, then wouldn't I be too heartless?"

"That's good. I thought you treated me as an enemy."

Gu Yuling was shocked and then she saw Sheng Jingxun's expression. She immediately understood but did not say anything. She just smiled awkwardly.

"I checked the person you mentioned last time. There is indeed a problem with his account." Sheng Jingxun reached out his hand and gently rubbed his temples. His face was gloomy.

Seeing that he changed the topic, Gu Yuling secretly let out a sigh of relief. "I hope Director Sheng will be satisfied with this reward. The person you really have to be careful of is actually the person beside you."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Yuling blinked and made a slight gesture.

"Him?" This time, Sheng Jingxun showed a shocked expression. He said in disbelief, "He has always been overseas and has never interfered with the company's matters. How do you know about his matters?"

"You don't have to ask about this." Gu Yuling's lips curled into a bitter smile. She suddenly felt that Sheng Jingxun was not much luckier than her.

These few days, she tried hard to search the memories in her mind. It turned out that in the end, Sheng Jingxun was also betrayed by his family. The psychological damage he suffered was not less than hers.

Thinking of this, she looked at Sheng Jingxun with sympathy. The man was even more confused.

"Is this also your reward?"

Gu Yuling nodded. "Since the previous few times have all come true, then this time Director Sheng should believe me, right? Although I don't have any friends, I am not used to lying."

Sheng Jingxun hesitated for a moment, his eyes moving, his pupils faintly glowing, making people unable to see the emotions in his eyes.

"You are really a strange woman." After a long silence, Sheng Jingxun said in a deep voice.

...

After staying in the Xiao Xian Residences for three to four days, Gu Yuling felt that she had completely recovered, even though she was still a little bit away from jumping up and down.

But on second thought, if she continued to stay here, she was afraid that the rumors between her and Sheng Jingxun would spread more and more.

Without a doubt, under Sheng Jingxun's tacit consent, the servants here had already treated her as their mistress. This made Gu Yuling enjoy it but at the same time, it made her heart palpitate.

She simply tidied herself up and slipped out of the villa while the servants were not paying attention.

She would always wake up from dreams. She reminded herself at all times.

At this time, Gu Ranjia should be at work and the beautiful afternoon was the best time for Fann Lan to go out and play mahjong. As she calculated, she carefully pushed open the Gu family's door.

"You still know to come back?"

Fann Lan just came down from the stairs and suddenly saw Gu Yuling sneaking in. She was instantly furious and rushed in front of Gu Yuling.

Her sharp voice made Gu Yuling's heart stifled and their eyes met. Fann Lan still had a poisonous look in her eyes and she was already used to it.

"This is also my home. Why can't I come back? "Gu Yuling did not have any fear on her face and asked back.

"Heh, your wings are really hard. You actually dare to talk back to me!" Fann Lan sneered a few times and raised her hand to slap. A crisp sound resounded throughout the entire living room.

Gu Yuling was unprepared and her head was tilted to the side from the slap. She subconsciously covered her face and her mouth was filled with sweetness. The smell of blood quickly spread.

"Why are you looking at me?" Fann Lan's eyes stared and reached out to hit again but was grabbed by Gu Yuling's wrist.

"I did not retaliate because you are an elder. Are you that impatient to tear off all pretenses of cordiality with me?" The corner of her lips formed a hint of sarcasm and her smile became even colder, "If that is the case, then I will accompany you till the end!"

"The stupid things you did outside have already made your father lose face. Now, you are living openly in the Sheng family. I'm warning you, Sheng Jingxun is your sister's! You better stay away from him! "Fann Lan struggled a few times but was unable to break free from her hands. She was clearly panicking. However, she still forced herself to scold him.

"Is that so?" Gu Yuling slightly raised her eyebrows and her hands loosened. Fann Lan stumbled a few steps back and almost fell onto the sofa.

A trace of panic flashed through her eyes. When did this little slut have such guts?
