Seeing Jiang Yining’s troubled expression, the housekeeper said, “Young Madam, do you want to tell Sir about this?”
“No.” Jiang Yining calmed down and continued, “I can take care of it myself.
The next time they come, call me right away.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper felt that things indeed weren’t that simple.
But he was already subconsciously afraid of Jiang Yining, so he’d would follow her instructions without question.
No matter what he thought of her, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
After dismissing the housekeeper, Jiang Yining hung the key pendant on her backpack and stared at it for a long time.
Iler expression gradually regained its calmness as her eyes filled with determination.
She would just have to roll with the punches.
Since she had decided to sever ties with the Gu family, it was not a good idea to keep hiding from them. She would have to face them head-on sooner or later.
She would personally sever all ties with Gu Zhanqing this time.
However, Jiang Yining didn’t expect Gu Zhanqing to find her so quickly.
The next day when she left the Lu residence and waited at the bus stop for her bus, she felt someone tailing her. However, when she turned her head to look, she couldn’t see anyone suspicious.
Jiang Yining figured that it must be someone sent by the Gu family.
She just stood there and waited.
After another half an hour, a black Mercedes slowly pulled up in front of her.
The car door opened and a man got out. He extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation. “Miss Yining, Mr. Gu has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with us.”
“Su Huai, you’re indeed a very loyal dog to Gu Zhanqing to do whatever he tells you to do,” Jiang Yining said sarcastically.
Su Huai looked at her and said, “Miss Yining, Sir is just worried about you. You’ll suffer when you’re all alone outside with no one to rely on. Come back with us. At least someone will take care of you.”
“Take care of me?”
Jiang Yining repeated these words several times and chuckled coldly. “If feeding and clothing me is considered taking care of me, then I’m better taken care of outside.”
Su Huai knew that Jiang Yining was prejudiced against Gu Zhanqing and did not argue with her.
He repeated his gesture of invitation.
“Miss Yining, please get in the car. You know Sir’s temper.”
Jiang Yining snorted coldly. “Isn’t this just another punishment? It’s not like he hasn’t punish me countless times over the years!”
After she said that, she got into the car, not out of threat but because she wanted to see Gu Zhanqing.
Su Huai went around to the front passenger seat and ordered the driver to drive.
They drove for more than an hour and finally stopped in front of a resort.
Jiang Yining saw many familiar faces after she got out of the car.
She followed Su Huai quietly into a suite.
A tall figure was standing in the living room.
This person was none other than the head of the Gu family from capital city, Gu Zhanqing.
He was thirty-five years old, but looked twenty-five.
His good looks infatuated many people, especially his deep blue eyes. Every time she looked into those eyes, she would have the illusion of deep affection.
Jiang Yining’s heart trembled slightly when she saw him but the feeling quickly disappeared.
She then met his sapphire-like eyes fearlessly.
“Long time no see, Mr. Gu.”
When Gu Zhanqing heard that, the anger he had suppressed for so long instantly erupted like a volcano!
“Jiang Yining, who gave you the guts to run away from home? Do you know how worried Ah Rou was for you? She cried for three days and three nights, and she almost went blind from crying! You’re already twenty years old. You’re not a child anymore. Why can’t you let everyone worry less?”
Gu Zhanqing’s every word was cold, and the anger and hatred in his eyes were like knives that nicked every inch of Jiang Yining’s skin.
Jiang Yining replied with a faint smile, “Gu Zhanqing, so you also know that
I’m already twenty. According to the law, adults have the right to decide where they want to go. It’s my freedom. You have no right to stop me.”
“You insolent!”
Gu Zhanqing rushed up to her and raised his hand to slap her.
But Jiang Yining raised her chin with bulging veins on her forehead. “Go ahead and slap me! The more you slap me, the less emotional connection I’ll have with the Gu family! You’d better slap me to death, so I’ll have nothing to do with the Gu family sooner!”
Gu Zhanqing’s hand froze midair as he stared at her.
After a long pause, he said, “Follow me home. I’ll slowly deal with you for running away when we get home.”
“I won’t go home with you. Mr. Gu. I think I’ve made myself clear.” Jiang Yining said coldly. “If you want me to go back to the Gu residence with you, you’ll have to kidnap me. But as long as my legs work, I will run away again.”
She was determined to cut all ties with the Gu family and didn’t want to drag things out anymore.
She would keep running away no matter how many times he caught her and brought her back.
Faced with a stubborn Jiang Yining, Gu Zhanqing felt a sense of deja vu.
He recalled the time when her mother held his hand firmly and told him that she would marry that man come hell or high water.
But in the end, she and the man were both burned to death.
Jiang Yining was indeed her daughter. She was just as stupid and stubborn!
Gu Zhanqing grabbed her wrist and said, “Alright, then I’ll break your legs. Let’s see how you will run away again.”
Jiang Yining shouted, “Gu Zhanqing, are you a sick in the head? Why do you care where I go? Don’t you only care about Jiang Rou and hate me? I’ve already left knowingly so I won’t be an eyesore to you. Why won’t you let me be?”
“You’re my niece. 1 have the obligation to take care of you.” Gu Zhanqing enunciated every word.
“What bull sh*t niece? You and I are not related by blood at all!”
Gu Zhanqing was just an adopted son adopted by her grandfather! He had nothing to do with her!
Jiang Yining refused to acknowledge her so-called uncle!
Gu Zhanqing tightened his grip on her wrist. “Jiang Yining, if you dare to speak more nonsense, I’ll really teach you a lesson.”
Jiang Yining sneered.
She did not speak, but her hands and feet began to struggle desperately.
Gu Zhanqing did not expect that in just a few months, she had grown to resist him.
Unexpectedly, she managed to escape his grip.
When he realized what happened, he stretched out his hand to pull her back again.
Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Yining slapped him across the face with all her might.
The loud slap shocked everyone.
Even Gu Zhanqing was stunned on the spot.
Jiang Yining was also stunned for a few seconds, and then she felt extremely happy.
It was time to pay him back for all the slapping she had received from him over the years!
Gu Zhanqing recovered from his shock and grew furious. He pressed down on her shoulder with one hand to stop her from moving.
And in the next second, his other hand was raised, ready to slap her!
Jiang Yining could feel the whoosh of air as he raised his hand but she wasn’t afraid at all.
Instead, she widened her eyes and stared straight at him.
Just as the slap was about to land, Su Huai hurried over and said, “Sir, the CEO of Lu Corporation, Lu Zhi, is at the door now. He said that he’s here to fetch his wife home..”
