Gu Yusheng's fingers that clamped the cigarette quivered a bit since he knew no one was watching him. He tilted his head and stared at the raindrops splashing on the window for a very long while, then lifted his hand and smoked. After several seconds, a wisp of white smoke floated out from his nose. When the smoke ring had almost completely faded away, Gu Yusheng took the phone and dialed Liang Doukou's number, but it said that her phone was turned off.
Gu Yusheng's eyebrows wrinkled, then he threw his phone away carelessly and said to Xiaowang, "To the northern suburb, Jin Yu Spa."
Why did he want to go to the suburbs in such a heavy storm? Although Xiaowang was confused, he didn't dare ask, only focused on the road ahead and drove prudently.

Qin Zhi'ai had ordered over ten cars, and even raised the price several times, but all the orders had been canceled due to the heavy rain.
There was a subway station about two miles away from the club. The rain showed no sign of stopping, and it was getting later. Qin Zhi'ai's phone was almost out of charge. If she kept waiting, she would seriously trap herself there.
After considering for a while, she bought an umbrella from the front desk, put her sunglasses and mask on, and decided to take the subway back to the city.
The wind was very strong and blew the edges of the umbrella until they were broken. The rain fell on her and got her clothes completely wet.
The roads in the suburb was not as smooth as those inside the city, so it was difficult for her to walk in high heels. She had to take them off and walk barefoot.
On her way to the subway station, a length of the road was under construction, so it was full of bumps, hollows, and puddles of water. Under the water, gravel and sharp tiles were hidden, which cut her feet.
When she had passed through it, her feet were full of scratches and small cuts. Every step she took brought her unbearable pain.
Qin Zhi'ai gritted her teeth to continue, but after a while, she felt too much pain, so she stopped and leaned against a street lamp.
The rain became heavier and more violent than it had been when she left the club.
Her sight had almost been blocked by the rain, so she rested there for a long while, then looked down to check her feet.
The blood kept flowing out of the wounds cut by the sharp tiles.
With the wounds being soaked in the water, she felt even more painful. She couldn't bear the pain when she just stood there, let alone when she walked. She felt like she was going to cry.
She took her phone out of her bag to try ordering a car online again, only to find her phone dead.
In fact, when she had ordered cars in the club, she could have made a call to the Gu Mansion.
If Old Master Gu knew that she was trapped in the suburbs and couldn't get back to the city, he would definitely have gone and pick her up.
However, she had been afraid that Old Master Gu would call Gu Yusheng and make him pick her up.
Gu Yusheng… He hated to be disturbed by her, so she tried her best to avoid that, becoming an outsider to his world and doing nothing that would bother him.
