C13 Pretending to be Strong

After Chen Qianqian left, Gu Yuling let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. She simply laid down on the bed and thought about everything that had happened. Tears welled up from her eyes and very quickly, the noodles were soaked.

It would be a lie to say that she did not care about that cold home.

No matter what, that was the place she had lived since she was young. At this moment, Gu Yuling missed her biological mother very much. The more she missed her, the deeper her hatred towards Gu Dong became.

However, whenever she thought about the hypocrisy of the Gu family, she couldn't help but cry like rain when she thought that the "father and mother" she had called for for more than ten years was only for one organ in her body to treat her well.

If she could find a weak reason and reliance, who would still need to pretend to be strong?

She wiped away her tears with all her might, but her heart became more and more determined. No one was willing to repeat the same mistake. What she needed to do now was to hide her weakness.

The weak, kind, and easily bullied Gu Yuling from before had already disappeared!

She silently clenched her fists, and the space between her brows tightened, covering the lost luster in her eyes.

Just as she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. Gu Yuling quickly wiped her face and pressed the answer button. " Hello? "

"Are you all right?" The man's mellow voice entered her ears through the phone and Gu Yuling's heart trembled when she heard it. A warm feeling entered her heart.

Obviously, Sheng Jingxun knew everything that happened to her like the back of his hand.

Gu Yuling, who had always hated being controlled, did not hate his behavior. She understood that this was all out of concern. Sheng Jingxun's gentlemanly demeanor made her feel at ease.

"I will settle these matters very soon. I can go to work tomorrow. Don't worry, Director Sheng." Gu Yuling pursed her lips. Her tone was polite and distant.

No matter how touched she was, she could only hide it in her heart. She knew the gap between them too well.

The difference between the clouds and the mud was like heaven and earth. She was not a person who was delusional.

On the other side of the phone, Sheng Jingxun smiled gently as if he had heard a joke. "I called you out of my friend's identity. I am not the kind of boss who exploits employees. Come to the company when you're done. Anyway, I've already compressed your work into documents and sent them to your email."

Gu Yuling was so touched that she wanted to cry when she heard the first few words. When she heard the last sentence, the corner of her mouth trembled.

In that case, she still could not avoid the heavy work? She did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Director Sheng is really considerate." She gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely return to the company as soon as possible and try not to delay my work."

Sheng Jingxun let out a hearty laugh. He did not realize that Gu Yuling had such a cute side in the past. "If you don't mind, why don't we have dinner together tonight? I will get the driver to pick you up. That's all. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

From beginning to end, Gu Yuling did not even have the time and opportunity to refuse. She was slightly stunned and when she heard the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, her heart warmed.

Alright, she replied in her heart.

This man did not seem to be that rigid, Gu Yuling thought quietly.

When she finished tidying up the entire room, Gu Yuling was already exhausted. At the same time, a yearning for a new life arose in her heart, tired and happy.

Outside the window, the sun was setting and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the entire room. A breeze blew over and the soft curtains lightly caressed her face, bringing up her long and curly hair.

Gu Yuling closed her eyes in enjoyment and took a deep breath. Life always strikes at us and gives us hope at the same time, isn't it?

Half an hour later, Gu Yuling walked down from Maybach and stood at the entrance of a high-end western restaurant.

"Director Sheng still has some things to deal with. You can wait in the private room for a while." The secretary smiled and squinted her eyes.

Gu Yuling paused and said, "Okay."

...

... "Didn't I tell you? Don't always look for me. What if someone sees you?" Gu Ranjia looked around nervously. There was no one in the long corridor, so she felt slightly relieved.

After receiving Jiaang Li's call, she immediately ran out of the company to avoid being seen by people with ulterior motives.

Jiaang Li, on the other hand, looked indifferent. "You didn't tell me you would bump into Gu Yuling in a place like this, did you? That woman doesn't even know how to eat western food. How could she appear in a place like this? Don't joke around!"

In his eyes, Gu Yuling was a pure and easy little girl to deceive. If it wasn't for the benefits that Gu Ranjia gave him, he wouldn't have wasted his time coaxing Gu Yuling!

"What do you want from me?" Gu Ranjia frowned, "Gu Yuling moved out. Now is the time for you to perform well!"

"Tch!" Jiaang Li curled his lips and looked at her with disdain. "Did I not please her enough? You clearly know that the person I like is you. Now that we finally have a chance to be alone, are you so unwilling?"

Gu Ranjia's expression froze when she heard this, but it only lasted for a moment.

She secretly thought about how to get rid of Jiaang Li, but a trace of a smile appeared on her face, and the lines on her face softened a little. "How could that be? I'm afraid something will happen to me, right?"

As she spoke, her hand clung onto Jiaang Li's arm.

Jiaang Li instantly became happy. "Don't worry. I have already checked. That woman is currently busy in the rented house. I will go and find her later. Now..."

He slightly bent over and approached Gu Ranjia.

Gu Ranjia instinctively wanted to resist, but her eyes widened when she saw the room behind Jiaang Li. She pushed Jiaang Li away and kept a distance of ten feet from him. Her lips trembled.

"What a coincidence. I actually met you here." Gu Yuling smiled with a harmless face, but her eyes were like hooks as she tightly grabbed the two of them.

"Yuling? I can't find you anywhere. I'm almost worried to death. Hurry up and come home with me. Daddy misses you." Gu Ranjia said with a smile. She and Jiaang Li looked at each other. There was a trace of panic in their eyes.

Gu Yuling tilted her head and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked at the two people in front of her calmly and sneered, "There are no outsiders here. Gu Ranjia, don't act with me, right?"

Sheng Jingxun had not arrived yet. She had waited for a long time and wanted to come out to take a breath. She did not expect to bump into the surprise that these two people gave her.

At this moment, Gu Yuling only regretted that she did not use her phone to record it.

"Jiaang Li, I did not know that your wishful thinking was so good. The two sisters pursued at the same time. They really did not want to waste any effort!" She said sarcastically.

Gu Yuling looked at the man in front of her who had cheated her of all her feelings. She gritted her teeth hard. Her heart was filled with endless regret. If she did not believe Jiaang Li's sweet words, why would she fall into the trap that Gu Ranjia had set for her?

"Yuling, you misunderstood me," Jiaang Li's face stiffened and quickly explained. He quickly changed his expression. Just now, his face was full of pride, but now it was full of melancholy.

"I heard from your sister that you moved out. I was worrying about how to find you!"

He put on a smile on his face, afraid that Gu Yuling would suspect him.

"You mean you carried Gu Ranjia and asked her where I went?" Gu Yuling laughed out loud, and her laughter echoed in the corridor.
