Chapter 10 I Can't Let Her Go
Chapter Ten: I Can't Let Her Go
"Alright, let's talk about the apartment. Why did you tell me to let her go, but then you're keeping her in your apartment?"
Gu Tingyan lowered his eyes, his hand nervously gripping his cufflinks, and murmured, "I can't let her go..."
It was a ray of light that shone into his world when he was in the darkest period of his life. He clung to it like a lifeline and never wanted to let go.
Li Yan's voice softened: "Is it related to the sudden deaths of me and your father?"
Gu Tingyan hummed in agreement.
After their parents died, the relatives pounced on them like hyenas smelling blood, wanting nothing more than to tear the three siblings to pieces.
He was only twelve years old at the time.
On one hand, she had to deal with the difficult behavior of these relatives, and on the other hand, she had to take care of her younger siblings who had lost their parents.
When he was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Rou appeared...
Seeing the heavy sorrow shrouding her son, Li Yan finally softened, but Xu Rou was truly not a good match.
With a quick glance, she said, "Take Xu Rou back to the old house."
Gu Tingyan suddenly looked up, "You agree to me being with her?"
Li Yan said irritably, "What good would it do if I disagreed? I told you to let her out of the old house one minute, and the next minute I'd get you an apartment."
The son's possessiveness toward Xu Rou had become somewhat pathological. If they were left in the apartment, who knows what he might do? Those scenes in the dark room later became evidence presented by the son in court.
It would be more reassuring to keep him under her watchful eye. Firstly, she could prevent her son from committing crimes if she saw him, and secondly, she wanted to try to prevent her son from giving up his obsession with Xu Rou.
Gu Tingyan was overjoyed. He thought that after the incident at the mall, his mother would strongly oppose his relationship with Xu Rou.
He immediately called his assistant: "Take Xu Rou back to the old house."
Li Yan: "......"
This tone doesn't sound like that of a CEO; it sounds more like that of a domineering mob boss.
Never mind, I'll correct it slowly later!
......
That evening, Xu Rou was taken to the old house again, and the room was the same one she had been in before.
She looked humiliated, her eyes filled with disgust as she gazed at Gu Tingyan, and she was utterly disdainful of Li Yan.
In the middle of the night, she secretly went to the balcony to call Zhou Zeran.
"Brother Zeran, the money has been transferred. Did you receive it?"
"It's good that you received it. You're welcome. We've been childhood sweethearts. You were also scammed by those loan companies."
"I...I'm fine, Zeran-ge, thank you, you are the best person in the world to me."
After hanging up the phone, she stared at it longingly, her eyes filled with affection. The wind was strong on the balcony, and she felt a little cold, so she quickly shrank her neck and prepared to go back inside.
As soon as he turned around, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his legs went weak with fright.
"Gu... Gu Tingyan!"
Gu Tingyan's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He was holding a glass of warm milk in his hand, and suddenly threw it away, grabbing Xu Rou's hand and dragging her onto the bed.
Xu Rou was terrified: "W-what are you going to do?"
Gu Tingyan tore open her clothes, his possessiveness and obsession almost overflowing in his eyes.
"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't contact Zhou Zeran again?"
"But what were you doing just now?"
"Is he the best person in the world to you?"
"Have you forgotten that I paid for your mother's medical expenses?"
"I was the one who saved you when you were being treated like a prostitute and picked over by everyone."
"Even the money you, my good-for-nothing childhood friend, borrowed was paid off from my account."
Xu Rou was terrified. She struggled desperately, tears streaming down her face, and roared in anguish.
"Gu Tingyan, let me go, I'll give you the money back, you can't treat me like this."
Gu Tingyan grabbed her chin, "Return it? What will you use to return it? Your body?"
"A hostess at a nightclub charges two thousand for a single encounter. I'll give you a higher price, four thousand. With a debt of one hundred thousand plus your mother's daily medical expenses of over ten thousand, how many times do you think I'd have to go to pay it off?"
