CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: LEAVING NO ROOM FOR MANOEUVRE

"15 minutes, if you can’t do it, get the hell out of here!"

Mo Shu left these words behind as he turned and walked out.

Ji Nan exchanged a glance with the doctor, both of them sighed softly.

They had originally hoped to delay for a day, maybe Princess Mo would change her mind tomorrow.

But now, Princess Mo didn’t leave any room for herself at all!

-

After listening to Gu Wenjuan’s tearful account, Yu Siqiao felt extremely conflicted.

He had never paid attention to Gu Wenjuan’s current situation, but who would have thought she was living such a wretched life!

If it weren’t for Mo Shu sending Uncle Dong to pick her up to enroll in Mo Business, would she really have been sold to an old man even older than her dad?

Fortunately, none of that happened.

But why would Mo Shu be so kind as to give Gu Wenjuan the opportunity to enroll and rescue her from desperation?

This was totally not Mo Shu’s style!

Moreover, the two lackeys of Mo Shu had mentioned at the company just a moment ago that this woman was specifically brought to their attention to be tormented.

Most likely, it was just a fluke, something they stumbled upon by chance.

Yu Siqiao’s thoughts were shifting as he said to Gu Wenjuan, "Then you should never go back to that ’home’."

Gu Wenjuan, sobbing, looked up at Yu Siqiao and said bitterly, "If I don’t go back, where else should I go? In this city, aside from that ’home’, I have nowhere else to live and stand on my own..."

"A home like that is not worth returning to!" Yu Siqiao’s expression darkened as he said, "Your fate should be in your own hands!"

His resounding words made Gu Wenjuan’s heartbeat quicken considerably.

Your fate is in your own hands.

Her mom used to say the same thing to her when she was little.

Gu Wenjuan gazed at him with tear-filled eyes.

Under the sunlight, Yu Siqiao seemed to be coated in a layer of golden light, his tall and imposing figure giving her an immense sense of security.

Just like last night.

Even though they had only met twice, Gu Wenjuan’s heart uncontrollably raced because of him.

Gu Wenjuan saw him take out his phone, and his deep voice soon rose again, "Clean up my apartment in West Garden and prepare a series of women’s clothing and essentials."

Gu Wenjuan’s eyes widened in shock.

Was this, perhaps, instructions for her?

Gu Wenjuan’s heart started racing again, an unrestrainable delusion quietly rising in her heart.

Could it be... he liked her?

Just like what the two women who cornered her in the bathroom last night had said, Young Master Yu had never looked straight at any woman, but she alone was special.

But quickly, Gu Wenjuan shook off such a thought in terror.

Impossible!

Young Master Yu grew up in a family like that, surrounded by countless women.

How could he possibly like her?

In terms of looks, body, knowledge, upbringing, she couldn’t even compare to any of the women at Mo Business, so how could Young Master Yu possibly fancy her?

Gu Wenjuan once again clearly recognized herself, and once again, she was enveloped in her own feelings of inferiority.

Yet despite this, at that moment, Gu Wenjuan couldn’t help but ask, "This apartment, Young Master Yu..."

"It’s prepared for you," Yu Siqiao said, "You deserve a better future."

Gu Wenjuan’s face immediately flushed, and even the tips of her ears and the base of her neck turned crimson as she looked down and said with red eyes, "I can’t, how could I..."

"You can."

Yu Siqiao was concise.

If it weren’t for Gu Wenjuan and her mother, Yu Siqiao would have died long ago.

It was her mother who exchanged her serious injury for his life.

He could never find them afterward, but now that he finally had, no matter how much he gave her, it was only right.
