Inside the Gu Mansion, Gu Chuyan pushed open the door to Gu Miaoting’s room and walked in.

Approaching the desk, she noticed a book left open. As she reached to pick it up, a slip of paper fell out. She picked it up and read: “IOU?”

“Gu Miaoting owes XX three million. Gu Miaoting decides to pay off the debt using Gu Chuyan! ”

She couldn’t believe it. The signature on it was from the night she got drunk!

“Miss, the master called and said everyone has a half-day off tonight. I have prepared dinner and left it in the kitchen. You can eat when you get hungry, ” Afu’s voice echoed from outside.

Gu Chuyan quickly grabbed the IOU, pretending to be calm as she walked out.

“I see.” Gu Chuyan replied, finding the situation strange. Why suddenly give the servants a break? Was Gu Yan trying to save money?

Upon considering this, she returned to her room! She picked up her phone, took a picture of the IOU and uploaded it to the cloud, then tucked the IOU into her bag! She intended to find evidence of Gu Miaoting’s wrongdoing and kick her out.

Footsteps echoed from downstairs. Gu Chuyan stood by the window and pushed it open!

“It’s snowing.” Gu Chuyan was somewhat surprised as she stretched her hand out. Snowflakes fell lightly on her palm, chilling to the touch.

Hearing someone talk, she burst into laughter: “Afu, aren’t you off for the day? Why’d you come back?”

“Pop.” At that moment, the entire mansion plunged into darkness, it was obvious that the power had gone out!

Her heart thudded at the ominous feeling.

Just as she heard the door open, she turned around to see a tall figure walking towards her. The stranger reeked of alcohol as he shed his coat.

“Crash.” A drinking glass nearby was knocked over by his coat, shattering onto the floor.

“Who are you?” Watching the unfamiliar figure, Gu Chuyan had a foreboding feeling.

The man gave a low suppressed chuckle: “Miss Gu? In this long and cold night, I think we’d make a good pair. How about you be my girlfriend, we could make do.”

. On impulse, Gu Chuyan tried to dodge past him and run towards the main door.

As she ran past him, he quickly grabbed her arm.

“Trying to run? I’ve been waiting for you here for a while now. Why don’t we have a chat?” he said.

However, his actions were very presumptuous, clearly not the actions of a gentleman.

Panic surged within Gu Chuyan, she bit down hard on his arm. The man flung her to the ground in pain. She scrambled up but he grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up: “Dare to bite me? No one has ever dared to lay a hand on me before.’

“Help, help!” Gu Chuyan cried out. Unfortunately, all the servants in the Gu Mansion were off work! She was alone in the entire empty mansion. There was not even a dog around.

The moonlight streamed in, illuminating the shattered glass pieces on the floor, glinting in the soft light. She instinctively grabbed a shard of glass.

At that moment, she was absolutely terrified. Her eyes blazed with a survival instinct, not thinking much of anything else.

“Shh.” Blood spurted from his chest. Gu Chuyan, terrified, ran barefoot out of the door.

The mansion was deathly quiet. All that could be heard were her footsteps and her panting breath.

“Damn woman, dare to run!?” The man clutched his chest wound, unable to believe he’d been injured by a woman.

He briskly stepped out, hot on her heels.

“Click-clack.” The sound of high heels echoed from the hallway up front.

Upon hearing the abrupt sound, Gu Chuyan turned to look. Despite the darkness, she could clearly see Gu Miaoting standing not far away, her cold expression sending shivers down her spine..
