"You are?" The others lowered their heads again and cleaned the room as if nothing had happened.
They seemed to be used to this sort of thing.
"I did." One of the waiter walked towards Gu Jiaru. Under the dim light, she frowned: "She has already been taken away."
"You took it?" Gu Jiaru's eyes widened, her voice rising an octave, filled with disbelief.
Without waiting for a reply, she asked harshly, "Didn't I already say that I will be here very soon? Before that, don't hand her over to anyone!"
"Mr. Han also said so." The waiter's tone of voice did not sound apologetic at all, as if he had been tormented by Han Meixi enough.
Hearing the expression "Mr. Han," Gu Jiaru's expression became less anxious. "You called her brother?"
"Mr. Han said that he is the young lady's boyfriend." The waiter looked at Gu Jiaru with a puzzled expression, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Han Boyi!" Gu Jiaru's eyes shone with a sharp light, "Why did you call him? It took me twenty minutes to get here. Do you think that you've caused quite a bit of damage in the short span of twenty minutes? Why did he let someone else take her away! If something happens, can you afford to take responsibility? "
"We called Mr. Han first, but he didn't answer. He called you right after the call was recorded. He called back two minutes later, and we told him the truth. Since you all know him, you can go and find him. " The waiter patiently answered Gu Jiaru's question. His eyes seemed to be cursing the woman in front of him for being a fool, as why would a bar have the duty of watching over customers.
When Gu Jiaru thought through this problem, she did not continue to hold on and only let out a light sigh of relief: "Sorry for disturbing you. Do you know where they went? "
"I'm not sure, but Mister Han did say that he will bring Miss Han home."
"Okay, thanks." After saying that, Gu Jiaru looked around the shop, and after confirming that Han Meixi was not present, she turned and left.
She got on the car, and started to desperately dial Han Meixi's number.
He waited for more than fifty seconds, but there was no answer. Gu Jiaru's heart sank to the bottom.
Han Boyi took her away, where would he send her?
In the past, she did not doubt Han Boyi's feelings toward him. But after experiencing so many things, even if he was able to truly not forget her initial intentions, it was still an extremely dangerous thing for Meixi.
She was going to the bar to drink today because of Han Boyi.
Earlier, the shop assistant said that he made the call in the order recorded by the phone, and then said that he first called Mr. Han, but was unable to answer the call. That meant that after she and Han Meixi parted ways, Han Meixi and Han Boyi had a connection.
Not to mention who had contacted whom.
This was probably the main reason why Han Meixi, who had originally said that she would go home, appeared in the pub again and got drunk.
Thinking about it, Gu Jiaru could not sit still anymore.
Facing such a man who bullied her best friend, she had to snatch her best friend back. Even if it was just to let him know, even if Han Meixi didn't have any love left, she would still be alive!
Send her home? Gu Jiaru patiently recalled what the waiter had just told him.
She did not believe that Han Boyi would send her back to the Han Family with good intentions. Even if he tried to hide, he might not be able to, so why would he deliberately approach the currently tense Han Family people?
This thought caused her to fiercely turn the steering wheel.
As a result, he could naturally hear the curses coming from the driver behind him.
How could Gu Jiaru care so much? She pursed her lips and stared straight ahead, just wanting to quickly bring Han Meixi back home so that she wouldn't run into any more problems.
After waiting for a few seconds for the traffic lights to come off, she made a call to Han Boyi.
Without any nonsense, Gu Jiaru asked straightforwardly: "Where is Meixi?"
"I have it." Han Boyi's voice did not sound cowardly at all, and instead sounded somewhat righteous and confident.
"Where are you? I'll find you now. "By the way, I'll warn you, if you dare even touch a single hair on her head, I'll definitely beat you to death!" Gu Jiaru's brain had already been clouded by worry, she did not have any qualms about anything, and her tone of voice was unexpectedly heavy.
Han Boyi chuckled on the other side of the phone, and said with playfulness: "You want to die a horrible death? With just you? "
"Where are you!" Gu Jiaru did not want to argue with him about whether or not she had the ability to make him die a horrible death, she just wanted to take Han Meixi over as soon as possible.
T
"Home." Han Boyi replied to Gu Jiaru with the simplest of words.
And it was precisely this simple word that caused Gu Jiaru to feel goosebumps all over her body.
He brought Han Meixi back home? In this grim situation?
"Are you crazy!? What kind of people do you have in your family? " Gu Jiaru clenched his teeth, stepped on the accelerator and said while clenching his teeth.
After saying this, she heard the sound of a horn outside the car window and felt that it was extremely ear-piercing.
She turned her head and saw the car walking side by side. She was so annoyed that she wanted to ram into it.
Han Boyi's tone was filled with ridicule, "I won't touch her, don't come. I'll send her back tomorrow."
"I'll be right there." Gu Jiaru coldly threw down these words and hung up.
She opened the window to let in the wind from the street and breathed a sigh of relief.
She not only wanted to take Han Meixi over, she also wanted to understand the current situation of the Han Family. If Hanxiuqing really jumped off the building, Gu Jiaru did not believe that she would have the time to bother about Han Meixi's safety.
And once this really happened, Meixi would also be in an extremely dangerous position in the Han Family.
Only, Gu Jiaru who was filled with worry did not know that after hanging up, Han Boyi looked around his room.
It was cold and quiet.
The drunk Han Meixi seemed to be out of place, her breathing was even, her eyebrows knitted together, her expression calm.
He walked over, and lightly shook Meixi's arm: "I'll send you back."
"Meixi."
he shouted again, not giving up.
Han Meixi drank a little too much, her head lowered and eyes closed, she remained silent.
He seemed to have no reaction to anything.
Han Boyi caressed her small hand, and his tone became heavy: "I'll go pour you a cup of water."
Unexpectedly, before he could even leave, Han Meixi had already grabbed her hand.
She clenched her fists tightly, afraid that Han Boyi would break away.
"You'll be thirsty." Han Boyi's voice softened, and he lifted his other hand to gently stroke Han Meixi's head as a consolation.
This way, the dazed Han Meixi truly felt safe. She relaxed and her hands slowly slipped from his fingertips as a gesture of letting him leave.
Han Boyi heaved a long sigh of relief.
He walked out of the room and closed the door softly behind him.
Before he could completely release this breath, he felt two pairs of sharp eyes staring straight at him.
He shuddered.
"What does the life or death of that woman have to do with you?" His father abruptly stood up from the sofa, his voice extremely cold.
Han Boyi did not look directly into his eyes. He could not bear to see his parents' anxious and disappointed expressions, and also did not want to hear from their mouths words of complaint and slander towards Han Meixi. He walked over to the water dispenser and pursed his lips, saying nothing.
In the room that had returned to silence, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of water dripping down.
"Your father is talking to you," Han Mu's mother appeared much more gentle, but she could still hear the anxiety and restlessness in her voice, "At this critical moment, isn't bringing that woman from Han Family home a source of conflict?"
"Han Yunshang is currently accompanying his sister in the hospital." Han Boyi threw out the question. The water in the cup was almost full, he frowned and answered.
Father Han bent down and patted the armrest of the sofa with all his might. "That's what he should do! His two daughters have been tortured to such a state by him. Yet, he … "
"Don't get excited yet." Seeing her father's figure sway, holding onto his chest, her mother hurriedly went forward to support her husband. She anxiously said to Han Boyi, "Hurry and send her back. We don't want to see her. "
"Twenty minutes, Gu …" Someone is here to pick her up. " Han Boyi had originally wanted to say Gu Jiaru's name, but after thinking about it, if his parents found out, then it would cause an uproar, so he did not say it out loud, but rather asked them to think that someone else would come.
Seeing that his father had gotten better, and stood up straight with a serious expression, his mother took his arm and gently advised, "Go back to your room and lie down. Han Family's daughter will leave shortly."
"Hai." His father sighed heavily.
The sigh felt as though it was hitting Han Boyi's heart, causing him to feel pain all over.
"You should all rest early. "When they take her away, I'll go to the hospital to have a look." Han Boyi carried the water in his left hand, while his right hand rested on the handle of the bedroom door.
His father waved his hand impatiently. "Let her go quickly. I don't want to see her again."
"Got it." Han Boyi's voice was low and deep, at the same time he unlocked the bedroom door.
After entering the room, he placed the water on the bedside table.
Just at that moment, the phone's screen lit up, and Gu Jiaru's name appeared on it.
They arrived so quickly?
Han Boyi did not close the door again. Instead, he stared at his parents' backs, and watched them enter the bedroom. When he heard their door lock, he picked up the phone with relief: "You're here?"
"Mm, send her out." Gu Jiaru said softly as she looked out the window at the brightly lit villa complex.
"Alright, wait a moment." After Han Boyi finished speaking, he ended the call and turned to look at Han Meixi who still had no reaction.
Her hair was a mess, and her frown had yet to recover. It was as if she had experienced a lot of pain in her sleep.
"Meixi, wake up, Gu Jiaru is here to fetch you." Han Boyi bent down close to her ear and whispered softly. He did not want his parents to hear his words.
Han Meixi did not make any movements.
"Wake up, we're home." Han Boyi extended his hand out and shook her body.
"Mm …" Han Meixi had a slight reaction.
Amidst Han Boyi's hopeful eyes, she did not even open them, much less forcefully getting up. He only turned his head to the other side, still in a semi-conscious state.
"Do you want to go home?" Han Boyi looked at the side of her face with deep emotions. He reached out his hand and lifted her messy hair behind his ears and spoke with a voice filled with love.
He did not hear Han Meixi's reply.
