C58 The Unsimple Gu Lin

"Gu Lin, I won't let you off easy." Qiao Anya was unconvinced as he signed the contract and spoke fiercely.

As for Gu Lin, he ignored them, opened the door, and walked out.

After Gu Lin returned to the villa, he let Lin Chuchu and Little Zhang leave. He stayed behind alone to take care of Ying Yue with a high fever.

When Ying Yue woke up, it was already dusk of the second day.

"Yue Yue …" When Gu Lin saw that Ying Yue had woken up, his tired expression finally revealed a little bit of surprise.

"Gu …" Gu … "Gu Lin …" Due to being too weak, Ying Yue felt weak all over. Her eyelids were closed and did not have any pattern.

"Are you thirsty? Would you like some water? " Gu Lin asked gently.

Ying Yue nodded her head. Gu Lin sat on the bed and held Ying Yue in his embrace, then began feeding her water bit by bit. His movements were light, and he didn't even dare to use force, afraid of hurting the person in his embrace.

Ying Yue drank some water and lay flat on the bed once more. When she saw Gu Lin's bandaged hand, she recalled what happened last night.

"Lie on the bed for a while longer. I'll arrange for the kitchen auntie to cook some porridge for you." Gu Lin once again gently covered her with the blanket before turning around and leaving the room.

Just as he took a few steps forward, Ying Yue suddenly opened her mouth, tilted her head, and said the words' I'm sorry '.

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. I didn't consider the consequences when doing things, so that's why you …"

"You're the one who's sorry." Gu Lin's tone instantly turned cold, then it turned into a discordant impatience. "Ying Yue, do you know what would have happened if I hadn't called you last night?"

Ying Yue kept tilting her head, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. She was now afraid. Even now, when she thought about it, she was still extremely afraid.

However, she still maintained her stubbornness and dignity because she was seen as the strong and brave Ying Yue. Since she had played this role from the very beginning, it was destined that she would continue to play this role.

"In the future … There will never be another time like this. " Ying Yue bit her lips and forced herself to say, "I promise."

"Yue Yue." Gu Lin sat back down on the bed, held Ying Yue's hand, and said softly, "You've just lost your fever, don't think too much about it. Chuchu has already applied for leave for you at the magazine's office. You can rest here for a few days. We'll talk later if you have anything to say."

Ying Yue didn't say anything and only nodded slightly, allowing Gu Lin to hold her hand. Just like that, one lay down, one sat down, and the two remained silent.

Ying Yue's complexion was already much better. Since Gu Lin hadn't been to the law firm for an entire day, he took advantage of this gap and headed to the study room by himself to manage his affairs.

However, the consequence of leaving Ying Yue alone with Lin Chuchu was being scolded.

"You damned girl." "I really want to split your brain open and have a good look at what's going on inside. I say, are you stupid or crazy, or have your confidence already exploded? You actually dare to go to a place like that?

"Okay, Chuchu, I'm still sick." As Ying Yue spoke, she deliberately patted her chest, causing Lin Daiyu to cough twice.

"You still know that it's hard to bear being sick? That's more like it. I think it's not that the heavens are blind this time, but that the heavens have finally opened their eyes. They have given you a great lesson so that you can have more refreshments in the future."

Ying Yue fell silent. At this moment, the nanny had knocked on the door and brought in a bowl of soup.

"I've been ordered by the missus to cook for the whole day, so you should drink it while it's still hot." The nanny said with a smile.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you."

After the nanny had left, Lin Chuchu looked at the chicken soup in Ying Yue's hands greedily, and said in a sour tone, "Yue'er, yesterday, Gu Lin seemed to have gone crazy looking for you. Just as I was about to cry, he was actually able to remain calm, and what made me feel that it was the most unbelievable is that he had only made two phone calls, and the problem was solved easily. So, I think that this Attorney Gu is not simple.

Regardless of whether it was Gu Lin or Gu Lanshan, the temperament and demeanor that flowed out of them were both extraordinary. Furthermore, Gu Lin had also said in their last conversation that he was unwilling to accept the business of his family and insisted on joining a law firm. Although she didn't know how big the Gu family's business was, just by relying on Gu Lanshan to forge a chain, the Gu family definitely could not be underestimated.

However, just like Dong Jiajia, as long as Gu Lin didn't say anything, Ying Yue definitely wouldn't ask about it. She was very clear that as long as the time came, even if she didn't ask, Gu Lin would still tell her.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Lin Chuchu waved his hands in front of Ying Yue, secretly taking a sip of chicken soup and said, "Madam Gu, don't you want to dig deeper into your husband's family background, such as paying for a detective, this way you can understand everything, right?"

"I'm not interested." Ying Yue took a long sip of the chicken soup and said, "What's more, Old Man Gu has already declared me as the aurine because of that one million yuan of gift money. If I'm like you said, then wouldn't I be deemed as guilty of this crime?"

"That's fine. You don't need to say it. However, there is something that I would like to ask you." Lin Chuchu said very seriously, "I believe that Madam Gu should have seen what Master Gu Lin looked like last night. Could it be that you don't have anything to say to me?"

"Chuchu, I am in trouble. Can you let me have some peace?" Ying Yue clearly knew what Lin Chuchu wanted to ask, so she casually found an excuse to escape, but Lin Chuchu chose not to do so.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant with me, don't you see what I'm learning? Gu Lin attacked for your sake yesterday, but it doesn't seem like it to me. So, I wanted to ask you, is there really something wrong here? What I don't know?"

"No, no." Ying Yue raised her hand and swore, "Gu Lin overreacted last night and I've already taught him a lesson. So, you can rest assured. Aren't there also no dead people?"

Lin Chuchu was still in disbelief as she glared at Ying Yue. "You perverted fellow, bring the chicken soup over, I'll drink …"

Ying Yue looked at Lin Chuchu who was sitting on the sofa and drinking chicken soup and laughed absentmindedly.

At that moment, Ying Yue's phone rang. Unexpectedly, it was her stepmother.
