Xu Jiawen sat on the ground with a heartbroken expression, he pointed at Ye Chaxu, then looked at Gu Shen in pain: "Is she really that good? It's worth it for you to hurt me because of her without regard for the face of the two families? "
That woman was clearly a drinking partner, but why was Gu Shen so protective of her?
Ye Chaxu's breathing became smoother before she spoke in a hoarse voice to persuade them: "Gu Shen, don't argue anymore, this is my fault, I'm leaving now." She stood up and was about to leave.
"You are not allowed to leave. From today onwards, you will live here." Gu Shen said in a stern voice and pulled at Ye Chaxu's arm.
Seeing this, Xu Jiawen laughed bitterly, and tears flowed unrestrainedly.
Although he knew that Gu Shen did not love her, but seeing how he treated other women so well and even saying such heartless words to her caused him to feel pain all over his body, as if all the skin on his body was being eaten by ants.
"Gu Shen, she is the person you love, right?" She tightened her face and asked with a sad smile. Her heart was filled with fear and pain.
Gu Shen's thick eyebrows slightly knitted, and asked with a deep meaning. "So what?" He said in a cold and collected voice, "Xu Jiawen, I have already given you face. If you continue to be unrepentant, I will make you regret your actions today."
Xu Jiawen could not believe his eyes as he trembled in fear, "Regret..." She stood up shakily and said in a choked voice, "The one who will regret this is you. Even if you love her, Aunt Lin will not allow you to be with her because your family …" But before he even finished speaking, Gu Shen's explosive shout came:
"Scram!" A cold gust of air emerged from the top of his head, and his dark eyes quickly flashed with a sharp glint: "Xu Jiawen, if you don't scram, do you believe that I won't disregard the friendship between the two families and stop cooperating with you?"
A dazed look appeared on Xu Jiawen's face for a moment as he shook his head in disbelief. It was really hard to believe that the man she spent so much effort to love would be so cruel to her for the sake of another woman.
She felt so much heartache that she didn't know how to face it. She ran out sobbing.
Cold sweat seeped out of Ye Chaxu's palms, and she said in a weak voice, "You shouldn't have been so cruel to women who love you." Thinking about how it made Xu Jiawen sad because of her, her heart didn't feel good.
"Talking too much." Gu Shen's brows tightened.
Ye Chaxu sighed, stared at Gu Shen and said: "I'm going home, thank you for the hospitality."
Hearing that, Gu Shen's eyes became cold, as cold as the winter.
"I won't live here. You have to understand that there is no relationship between the two of us. Don't stop me unless you imprison me. But I promise you, I will definitely think of a way to escape." Ye Chaxu said softly as he stepped forward.
Gu Shen did not give chase. Instead, he slightly raised the corner of his lips and locked his deep and acute gaze onto Ye Chaxu. "There will be a day you will take the initiative to live in this villa."
When Ye Chaxu heard this, she did not respond, but decisively left.
She thought that Gu Shen would stop her, but he did not. It was unexpected that he just let her go like that.
Ye Chaxu left Zheng Xin's house and stayed in the guesthouse outside.
When the Principal knew that Ye Chaxu had nowhere to stay, and had been looking for a place to stay, she suggested to Ye Chaxu to stay in an orphanage.
Ye Chaxu knew that there were empty rooms in the orphanage, and since he was an employee, he didn't think it was much to live in, so he agreed to move into the orphanage.
On his way to work, Ye Chaxu had met Qiu Shuiyue a few times.
Every time she would greet him with a smile, but Qiu Shuiyue treated her differently from before. Not only did he ignore her, he even looked at her coldly and looked at her fiercely, and she knew that the reason Qiu Shuiyue did not treat her with a good attitude was because of Xu Jiawen.
However, she didn't care. This matter originally had nothing to do with her.
On this day, Ye Chaxu was busy at the orphanage, and he brought her here quietly.
She was currently sweeping the courtyard. The moment she saw Ning Xin and the silence, her first reaction was to flee, because she knew that there was nothing good about them coming here, and she couldn't help them at all.
Ning Xin knew that Ye Chaxu was about to escape, so he spoke first: "Ye Chaxu, if you escape, will you be sorry for my brother?"
Hearing that, Ye Chaxu stopped in his tracks.
"Every single time, you use Ning An to threaten me. Is it that interesting?" Her heart grew cold as she learned to retort about this: "If Ning An knew that his sister and mother used his death to threaten the woman he loved, do you think he would be at ease underground?" She could only allow Ning Xin to quietly threaten her once or twice with Ning An and could only forgive them once or twice, but she could not accept it three or four times.
Ning Xin and Serenity heard this and looked at each other, but their faces were ugly.
"Ye Chaxu, I've come to find you, and I only hope that you'll help me one last time." He quietly walked in front of Ye Chaxu and said with an ancient expression on his face, "As long as it succeeds, from now on, I will no longer look for you nor threaten you with Ning An's death. As for our grudge, it will be written off."
Ye Chaxu hesitated as he looked at the silence. The moment their eyes met, he could not help but shiver.
It was probably because of the company's shock that she had become dispirited. After all, the previous period of silence was astonishing, and it took a period of rest before she regained her rationality.
She knew what the silence would ask of her, because the hardships of life had forced it out of its way.
She took a deep breath and smiled wryly. "Mom, I really can't help you."
"Ye Chaxu, don't lie to us. Gu Shen has already spoken. As long as you are willing, he will help us." Ning Xin said angrily, her voice filled with displeasure: "I went to find him, but he said that as long as you agree not to pursue the matter with us further and ask him for help, he will let my mother's company go, and he is even willing to help my mother's company to start anew."
Ye Chaxu was stunned, the shock he felt was not small.
"Su Xu, I beg of you." That calm and desolate voice was filled with hope as she looked at Ye Chaxu: "A single sentence from you can change our lives, and can be considered your reward. From now on, you no longer need to feel guilty towards us." In truth, she didn't want to come and beg Ye Chaxu, but the company was something she had worked hard for many years, and for the sake of the company, she had to endure it.
Ye Chaxu frowned, he only felt that his head was dizzy.
Seeing the nervous look on Jing's face as she stared at him, she felt more and more wronged. Tears of pain dripped from her eyes.
Both Ning Xin and Serenity did not speak, and only waited for Ye Chaxu's response. Because they knew it would be useless to speak any further, so they just waited to see how Ye Chaxu would decide.
"Give me some time, let me think!" Ye Chaxu's voice was weak and inaudible. She needed to think calmly for a while.
Knowing that it was useless to push Ye Chaxu too far, he agreed, "Alright, I'll give you some time, I know that you have a kind heart, I hope you won't disappoint me."
