Chapter 25: Oh, That Lady
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Shinian pursed her lips tightly. Tears were welling up in her eyes. After pushing away the hands of the butler, she ran downstairs in an embarrassing manner.
The butler was chasing after her. “Sigh, Miss Gu. The rain is very heavy. Where are you going?! Miss Gu!”
No matter how she called out, Gu Shinian did not turn around.
The butler was panting heavily. Staring at the trail of bloody footprints on the floor, she frowned unhappily. “What is wrong with these two people?”
Anyway, she could not resolve this.
Hence, she could only look for reinforcements.
The butler called Jing Yu. “Young Master Jing, can you come over quickly? Something has happened to Young Master Mu.”
“Auntie Lin, you’re so bold. Even I don’t dare to say that something has happened to Qin Muchen.” Jing Yu’s voice sounded lazy. He did not seem bothered by it.
Auntie Lin sighed. “It’s real this time. Miss Gu is injured. She was chased out by Young Master Mu earlier. It is so stormy tonight. If he doesn’t give any orders, we won’t dare look for her too.”
Jing Yu was so scared that he sat up from the sofa hurriedly. “Oh no. He’s doing it for real? Wait for me. I’ll be there immediately!”
…
Jing Yu only found out about what happened after he arrived.
It was a big mess on the floor. He avoided the shards of glass carefully and picked up the photo which was stained with blood.
Jing Yu looked around, picked up the tissue and wiped the bloodstain from it carefully.
He could not wipe it clean anymore.
It was such an old photo. It would definitely wrinkle up if they were to wash it with water.
“It’s no wonder that you are so furious.” Jing Yu’s expression was outrageously relaxed. He placed the photo back on the table and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “However, for her sake, you should find Gu Shinian.”
After pointing to the person in the photo, Jing Yu’s expression was full of tease. “Please allow me to remind you. There is a downpour and also lighting. It is not easy to get a cab in this area. She is a girl and her leg is injured. It is too easy for something to happen to her on a rainy night like this.”
Qin Muchen’s handsome face was stoic. Standing by the side of the windows, he allowed the wind and rain to blow in and wet his shirt. He pursed his lips without saying a word.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lighting and his face turned ghastly pale.
He only saw that pool of blood when he turned around. His expression changed drastically.
“Congratulations, you finally come to your senses.” Jing Yu expressed his great consolation. He waved his hands and suggested sincerely, “Do you want to go out and take a look? Judging from the blood, her leg seems to be severely injured. She lost a lot of blood.”
In the depths and darkness of his heart, Qin Muchen was born with an extreme sensitivity to blood.
It was not as if he had not seen so much blood before.
However, it was different when it was left behind by Gu Shinian.
Suddenly, regaining all his ethics and sanity, Qin Muchen grabbed his car keys and left the house.
Jing Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He did not care about Gu Shinian’s life. He was only afraid that Qin Muchen would become abnormal if something were to happen to her.
The butler witnessed this scene right from the beginning. Smiling bitterly, she said, “Actually, it’s also good if that lady doesn’t come back. I hope that Young Master Mu can be with Miss Gu.”
Jing Yu gave out a sigh that sounded profound. “It’s that lady who doesn’t want to come back. It’s up to her whether she wants to do so. Qin Muchen is very soft with her. Otherwise, how could she be so carefree outside?”
The butler shook her head, seemingly in deep thoughts. She suddenly had a regretful expression on her face. “It’s just that… Sigh… Speaking of it, I still prefer Miss Gu. Because Miss Gu will be good to Young Master Mu. But that lady… I’m afraid that she will only be happy when Young Master Mu is troubled.”
