Chapter 144

A ray of sunshine shone into the room in the morning. The gentle light could not awaken the sleeping Bai Weijin, while it awakened Gu Yeze.

To be precise, Gu Yeze didn’t sleep all night.

Gu Yeze sat on the sofa with a gaunt face, as if he had been beaten up. Gu Yeze even couldn’t move a finger.

“Brother! Grandma asks you to have breakfast.”

Gu Yeyu’s voice sounded at the door. “Ok.” replied Gu Yeze shortly. Then he began to change clothes and wash, trying to hide his gaunt face.

‘She is still asleep…’

Having washed up, Gu Yeze silently looked at Bai Weijin who was still asleep, and couldn’t help stretching out his hands when he watched her ruddy face.

Almost…

Got it!

When Gu Yeze pinched Bai Weijin’s soft cheek, he froze totally.

‘What am I doing now?’

“Hmm…”

Perhaps it was because Gu Yeze was pinching too hard that Bai Weijin humphed a little discontentedly in her sleep. Gu Yeze was shocked and withdrew his hand subconsciously.

Gu Yeze glanced at the surroundings nervously.

‘Since she slept so soundly, I shouldn’t awake her…’

Gu Yeze sneaked out of the room. When the door closed eventually, he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Fortunately, she was not woken up.’

“Why are you so slow?”

As soon as Gu Yeze stepped into the corridor, Grandma Gu’s voice rang in his ears. Grandma Gu looked at Gu Yeze with a displeased expression. It was apparent that Grandma Gu had been waiting for him for a long time downstairs.

The Gu family had strict family rules. The moment Gu Yeze saw Grandma Gu, Gu Yeze subconsciously wanted to nod his head slightly to show his respect to Grandma Gu.

However, a sudden noise shocked all the people present.

What happened? Was there something broken?

Grandma Gu and Gu Yeyu looked at each other. Then at the same time, they turned to Gu Yeze, who created the sound.

Gu Yeze moved his stiff neck against huge pain and only felt that none of his whole body was intact.

“I didn’t sleep well last night and have a kink in my neck.”

As soon as he finished, the two downstairs gazing at Gu Yeze instantly showed a weird look. Grandma Gu gave a meaningful smile.

As if to say, ‘See, you had so much fun last night that you even hurt your neck!’

Gu Yeze was somewhat confused by the strong discomfort. He opened his mouth slightly and asked, “What’s wrong with you two?”

‘Did I say something wrong?

Grandma Gu ignored Gu Yeze’s question and ordered the servant on the side, “Come on, go and get a bowl of tonic soup for your master.”

The servant stepped down with a smiling face. Gu Yeze would be a fool if he still didn’t understand what Grandma Gu meant.

“Grandma, you think too much, I…”

“All right, go downstairs and have breakfast.”

Just as Gu Yeze began to explain, Grandma Gu immediately interrupted him, as if saying,“I know it all”.

Gu Yeze was completely speechless. He resigned himself to all this and sat down expressionlessly. Throughout the breakfast, Gu Yeze was as cold as an air conditioner, giving off cold air.

Servants next to Gu Yeze were all scared and stood several meters away from him.

‘It seems that Gu Yeze was angry just because his “ability” was being doubted. It must be so.’

Gu Yeyu tried hard to suppress her laughter, and didn’t dare to make any noise. At the same time, she was a little relieved for Bai Weijin.

Gu Yeyu heard that Gu Yeze and Bai Weijin had quarreled recently. But it showed that their relationship was quite good. So it was better for Gu Yeyu not to interfere in their affairs.

“Brother, you should treat Weijin well.” Gu Yeyu deliberately reminded Gu Yeze after having breakfast. Then she added after a short pause.

“I will go out for something.”

No sooner had she said it than she anxiously walked out of the ancestral house. Gu Yeyu was now going to the Li family to confirm that she would be the bridesmaid and find a position for the former candidate.

After getting the news from Bai Weijin yesterday, Gu Yeyu didn’t sleep well all night. The scene where she would live happily with Chu Jiran in the future had already appeared in front of her eyes.

‘Eek? Is there anyone following me?’

While driving, Gu Yeyu looked at the black Buick LaCrosse behind her and frowned. She had seen this car from a few blocks away.

Gu Yeyu, who grew up in a noble family, was very sensitive to such things. ‘Anyway, I’d better get rid of him.’

Gu Yeyu made up her mind and immediately stepped on the gas. The engine of Gu Yeyu’s red Lamborghini made a “buzzing” noise.

“Whoosh!” Her car rushed forward like an arrow, and she ran several red lights suddenly.

‘It’s ok to pay a fine for running red lights. If I get caught, I’m doomed.’

The man in black in the Buick LaCrosse honked his horn angrily, when he saw his target Gu Yeyu was like an agile cat running swiftly in the jungle.

‘Damn it! She got away!’

The man in black suddenly thought of something and showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. ‘The hirer only said I must kill Gu Yeyu, but didn’t mention how.’

‘So it’s ok to kill her by creating a car accident.’

With such an evil thought, the man in the Buick LaCrosse accelerated fiercely and ran in the direction of Gu Yeyu.

‘Little girl, you are too far behind me in terms of driving.’

Gu Yeyu relaxed when she thought that she had managed to escape from danger. So she also slowed down the car.

‘Why is he still chasing me?’

Gu Yeyu got a glimpse of the black car, and couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat. ‘This man does refuse to give up.’

The firmer the man’s attitude was, the less Gu Yeyu dared to neglect him. Gu Yeyu couldn’t imagine what would happen if she was caught by this man.

“Whoosh!”, the Lamborghini accelerated again.

The man in black was adept in driving. Thanks to the advanced engine of her car, Gu Yeyu could escape temporarily. But it was only a matter of time before she got caught in this high-rise urban area.

‘I must ask for help!’

Gu Yeyu took out her phone and scanned her contacts one by one.

Logically speaking, Gu Yeyu should first inform her family under such circumstances. However, when she saw Chu Jiran’s name, she dialed without a pause.

With the beep of the phone, Gu Yeyu’s heart was also pounding.

It was reasonable to be nervous since Gu Yeyu had betted all on Chu Jiran this time.

“Hello?”

‘Great, he answered.’
