Chapter 597: Chapter 363: Nowhere to Go
Gu Yucheng knew exactly what was on her mind, yet he emphatically said: "Spend your life here, behaving yourself! As for Susu, she is destined to stay by my side for a lifetime, unable to go anywhere. Of course, since I could personally send you to this place, don’t expect anyone to come and rescue you! No one can take you away from me!"
Ji Su remained silent. What more was there to say?
On one hand is her mother, who acted like a cash cow; no matter how much she lost gambling, Ji Su would always find a way to fill the financial gaps for Zhang Yulian.
On the other hand is her current sponsor, Gu Yucheng, with ten million enough to last her a lifetime in debt to him. What room did she have to resist whatever he wanted?
The opposition between Gu Yucheng and Zhang Yulian had become very clear today.
Zhang Yulian was unscrupulous in her attempts to wash away her guilt.
Gu Yucheng would no longer let Zhang Yulian get away scot-free.
And she, caught in the middle of them, was in a dilemma.
Gu Yucheng pulled Ji Su firmly into his embrace, his voice authoritarian as he declared: "From now on, Susu will not come to see you. Deal with your own consequences! Whatever the judge sentences you to, you’ll have to endure it yourself!"
Having said his piece, he began to lead Ji Su outside.
"Susu..." Zhang Yulian cried out loudly, "Susu, don’t go with him. I was driven to this by him. You must not carry on with him..."
But Ji Su had no chance to stop as Gu Yucheng led her out.
Ji Su’s steps were unsteady; she hadn’t had much time to recuperate after her injury, and her mother’s affairs only added insult to injury.
However, Gu Yucheng’s strength was insurmountable, not allowing her the slightest pause as he pulled her away.
His face was cold and handsome, while Ji Su was panting, her face pale and weak.
As they stepped out, they encountered Zhuo Yufeng and Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao stood by Zhuo Yufeng’s side. Although she was still very young and inexperienced, under Zhuo Yufeng’s guidance, she had also begun to change.
Ever since she got distracted by Gu Yucheng during her last mission to catch Zhang Yulian, and received a severe reprimand from Zhuo Yufeng, she had put her heart into her work.
Unexpectedly, she would run into Gu Yucheng here again.
Only this time, he was tightly holding onto his ex-wife.
Ji Su also noticed Lu Xiao. She had a good impression of the young, energetic Lu Xiao, who reminded her of herself ten years ago.
At this moment, Gu Yucheng held her hand in his grip. Naturally, she felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, her relationship with Gu Yucheng—as ex-husband and ex-wife—made such intimacy inappropriate, especially in front of Lu Xiao, even though they had broken up. There was still a considerable connection between her and Lu Xiao.
Ji Su wanted to withdraw her hand from Gu Yucheng’s grip, but he wouldn’t allow it.
Not only did Gu Yucheng refuse to let her pull her hand away, but he also gripped it even tighter.
Although he saw Lu Xiao, he didn’t pause, continuing to lead Ji Su away by the hand, as though he and Lu Xiao had never had any connection.
Lu Xiao’s gaze dimmed. She turned her head away, yet in her daze, tears began to well up in her eyes.
She still remembered the happy days when they climbed mountains together!
However, Gu Yucheng, as a man, wasn’t just verbally ruthless; his actions had made it abundantly clear.
Originally, when Lu Xiao suggested they break up, he had agreed!
Afterward, he did not entangle himself with her further. It was as if, after a brief stay, the woman who had warmed his heart had vanished from his life.
Logically, such a heartless man should be easy to forget, yet Lu Xiao found herself unable to let go.
Even as she buried the romance deep within her heart and worked frantically, using time to dilute everything.
"Lu Xiao!" Zhuo Yufeng snapped.
Caught in her memories, Lu Xiao had not snapped back to reality. She looked at her boss, bewildered, understanding in his stern gaze that she had once again crossed his line.
"Come in!" Zhuo Yufeng returned to his office.
Lu Xiao pondered; she hadn’t made any mistakes recently, had she?
But with the boss’s order, she still followed him into his office.
As soon as she closed the door, she could feel the icy presence of Zhuo Yufeng bear down on her with a piercing gaze.
Lu Xiao steadied herself: "Sir Zhuo, what’s the matter?"
"Lu Xiao, are you still not over that man?" Zhuo Yufeng asked her directly.
