Chapter 11

"Master," the housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Sheng Jingxun returning, he quickly shouted respectfully.

Sheng Jingxun waved his hand and asked, "Where is she?"

"Miss Gu has been resting in the back garden today."

Gu Yuling hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and she was a little flattered that this injury brought her such good treatment.

Paralyzed on the folding chair in the back garden of Sheng Jingxun's house, she was sunbathing and closed her eyes until she fell asleep.

She had a long dream. In the dream, she was running in a long tunnel, with no way out, and there was darkness before and after her hand could not be seen.

But she knew that she couldn't stop, the cold wind whistled in her ears, she heard a strange sound that followed her, like a cold hand rubbing against her ear.

Gu Yuling couldn't help but shivered and accelerated.

Suddenly, the light ahead was as bright as day, and the radiance almost blinded her eyes. She stretched out her hand to block it, feeling her body light up in a trance.

"Don't move," a deep voice sounded in his ears, and Gu Yuling suddenly woke up from his dream.

Sheng Jingxun's handsome face suddenly came into view, her widened eyes were facing Sheng Jingxun's thin chin, only then did Gu Yuling realize that she was being hugged by Sheng Jingxun.

"You're back," she said embarrassedly, her body stiffened and she didn't dare to move, and felt that this greeting was a bit strange.

It sounded like it was her home too.

Sheng Jingxun gave a light "um", put her gently on the sofa, and then sat down beside her, leaning on his knees, looking very tired, "How are you today?"

"Your family is so big," Gu Yuling told him, the cold sweat brought by the nightmare made her feel very uncomfortable, she realized later, "The medicine given by the doctor is very effective, I think I'm almost good. already."

She was in a hurry to get out of here.

Hearing the meaning of her words, Sheng Jingxun gave her a sideways glance, the corners of his lips tightened, "You don't have to worry, I've granted you a leave, you can rest here in peace, just follow up if you need anything. Uncle Feng said that he will help you, don't be brave."

Uncle Feng is Sheng Jingxun's housekeeper and the one who watched Sheng Jingxun grow up.

Gu Yuling's heart jumped up suddenly, she twitched the corner of her mouth, pretending to be relaxed, "I'm not that wasteful."

"Is it so difficult to admit your vulnerability?" Almost following her words, Sheng Jingxun's expression was gloomy, and his tone was quite a bit hateful.

For some reason, Gu Yuling's palms were covered with sweat, her fingers tightened unconsciously, and she pursed her lips in silence.

The memories of her previous life told her that she couldn't trust anyone, let alone rely on anyone, so the moment she woke up in the hotel, she secretly decided that she must grit her teeth to the end.

whatever it is.

"I hope we are friends now." Sheng Jingxun suddenly said something thoughtless.

"Of course," Gu Yuling's eyelashes fluttered twice, and she replied without thinking, "If you take care of me like this, and I don't treat you as a friend, wouldn't I be too heartless?"

"That's good, I thought you treated me as an enemy."

Gu Yuling was startled, and immediately caught a glimpse of Sheng Jingxun's expression.

"I checked the person you mentioned last time, and there is indeed a problem with his accounts." Sheng Jingxun reached out and gently twisted the position of his temples, his cheeks gloomy.

Seeing that he changed the subject, Gu Yuling secretly sighed in relief, "I hope that Sheng will be satisfied with this reward, it is the people around you that you really need to be careful of."

"How to say?"

Gu Yuling blinked, and made a slight mouth.

"He?" This time, Sheng Jingxun showed a frightened expression, and he said in disbelief, "He has always been abroad and never interfered in the company's affairs. How could you know about him?"

"Don't ask," Gu Yuling's lips curled into a bitter smile, she suddenly felt that Sheng Jingxun was no luckier than herself.

In the past few days, she has been trying hard to search for the memory in her mind. It turns out that Sheng Jingxun was also betrayed and separated, and he suffered no less psychological damage than her.

Thinking of this, she looked at Sheng Jingxun with a little more sympathy, and the man became even more puzzled.

"Is this your reward too?"

Gu Yuling nodded, "Since it's been fulfilled a few times before, then this time, Mr. Sheng should believe me, right? Although I don't have many friends, I'm not used to lying."

Sheng Jingxun hesitated for a moment, and the light in his eyes flowed, and his pupils were faintly glowing, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

"You are such a strange woman." After a long silence, Sheng Jingxun said in a deep voice.

...

After living in Xiaoxiang Mansion for three or four days, Gu Yuling felt that he had completely recovered, although he was still a little short of being alive.

But on second thought, if she continues to live here, I'm afraid the scandal between her and Sheng Jingxun will spread more and more.

Undoubtedly, with Sheng Jingxun's acquiescence, the servants here have treated her as a mistress, which made Gu Yuling feel a little palpitated while enjoying it.

She simply packed herself up and slipped out of the villa while the servants were not paying attention.

Dreams always have to wake up, she always reminded herself.

At this time, Gu Ranjia should be at work, and the windy and sunny afternoon is a good time for Fan Lan to go out to play mahjong. She calculated and carefully pushed open the door of Gu's house.

"You still know how to come back?"

Fan Lan just came down from the stairs, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Yuling who was sneaking in, and suddenly became angry, and rushed in front of Gu Yuling with a single stride.

Her sharp voice made Gu Yuling's heart suffocate, and her eyes met, Fan Lan still had a poisonous look in her eyes, she was used to it.

"This is my home too, why can't I come back?" Gu Yuling asked rhetorically without fear.

"Oh, you really have hard wings, how dare you talk back to me!" Fan Lan sneered a few times, raised his hand and slapped her, and a crisp sound resounded throughout the living room.

Gu Yuling was unprepared and was beaten to the side by her head. She subconsciously covered her face, her mouth was sweet, and the smell of blood quickly spread.

"What are you looking at me for?" Fan Lan's eyes widened, and he reached out to hit again, but Gu Yuling grabbed his wrist.

"I didn't fight back because I thought you were an elder. Are you so eager to tear my skin off?" A hint of irony was drawn on the corner of her lips, and her smile was even colder, "If that's the case, then I will accompany me to the end!"

"The stupid things you did outside have already made your father humiliated, and now he lives in Sheng's house, I warn you, Sheng Jingxun belongs to your sister! You'd better stay away from him!" Failing to break free from her hand several times, Fan Lan was obviously panicked, but still insisted on reprimanded.

"Really?" Gu Yuling raised her eyebrows slightly, her hands relaxed, Fan Lan stumbled back a few steps and almost fell on the sofa.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, when did this little bitch become so kind?
