Chapter 79: 79: He Harbors a Killing Intent Towards Me_1
I originally thought he would also park there. To my surprise, he did not get out of his car but invited me into his.
“Where are you taking me?”
He started the car.
“What was the meaning of the jet-black starry sky?”
“Which starry sky?”
“Hell is desolate and the devil is amongst us.”
He uttered another sentence.
Only then did I realize it was a post I had made on my friend-circle last night.
“There’s nothing profound about it, I just shared whatever came to my feeling!”
“Why didn’t you answer my phone last night?”
He had many questions. His tone was stuffed with urgency.
Typical of a domineering boss who has a strong sense of control.
I wanted to laugh. After all, he was not my boyfriend but he assumed the responsibility like he was.
“Eh, I must have missed it! I drank last night…”
At that moment, I opened my phone and saw it. As expected, I had missed over a dozen calls, all from Ding Yinuo.
In-between were one or two calls from Su Peisheng.
“Drinking? You dare to drink while living with that devil. Aren’t you afraid of his threats?”
Realizing we were going off course, I hurriedly corrected him,
“Yinuo, you’re taking the wrong way; this isn’t the way to my office.”
“Who said I was taking you to work!!”
“So, where are you taking me?”
“Stop talking!”
Seeing his brusque tone, I chose not to ask any more questions.
We drove to the main gate of Xishan Residence.
“Get out!”
“But I need to go to work!”
I hesitated, unwilling to leave the car.
Ding Yinuo glared at me, “Would you die if you missed work just for a day?”
“No, but boss Ding, you’ve got money. You wouldn’t starve if you didn’t work for days while I would!”
Regardless of my explanation, Ding Yinuo dragged me out of the car.
Once we were inside the house, I saw that Su Peisheng was also there, along with some faces unfamiliar to me.
Looks like they are all Ding Yinuo’s friends…
“Yo, good morning Miss Song!”
As Su Peisheng greeted me, I figured it wouldn’t be appropriate to create a fuss with Ding Yinuo, so I politely greeted him and his friends.
“Hello lawyer Su! Oh, did you call me last night because there was an emergency?”
The first thing I thought about was the issue related to Gu Yuanzhou’s case.
Scratching his head, Su Peisheng hesitated for a while, “I didn’t call you?”
“How come! I have missed call records!”
I handed my phone to Su Peisheng.
After looking at it, Su Peisheng realized,
“I did not make these calls, Yinuo borrowed my phone. He called me up last night saying there’s an emergency and asked me to come over. Turns out, he just wanted to use my phone to call you.”
Listening to Su’s explanation, I was surprised. I looked at Ding Yinuo,
“Why on earth did you use his phone to call me?”
“Really! If you had just answered my calls, I wouldn’t have needed to…”
He didn’t finish his sentence.
I could forecast the rest.
Ding Yinuo must have thought I was deliberately ignoring his calls. That’s why he used Su Peisheng’s phone. This man is truly cunning.
“Hey, Yinuo, you only…”
“Ehem, Ding care for you! He’s been up all night worrying about you. He missed his sleep and drove out early in the morning just to fetch you.”
Su Peisheng was winking excessively at me.
Behaving as if I knew nothing, I gently poked Ding Yinuo with my elbow, “Really?”
And Ding Yinuo openly admitted it.
“Of course, I care for you. You are my ultimate rival. If something happened to you, I wouldn’t have anyone to tease.”
“Nah…meanie! By the way, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?”
“Yes, it’s ready for you!”
Ding Yinuo opened the oven and took out the freshly baked pizza and hot milk.
“You baked this yourself?”
“No, I bought it ready-made, and only reheated it for you. Don’t feel too overwhelmed; I just want to see Gu Yuanzhou suffer badly. There’s no other meaning.”
Yinuo repeatedly clarified his position as I reached for the pizza on the tray.
Unexpectedly, my finger brushed against the hot tray. It was scorching, causing me to scream.
Yinuo dropped the spoon he was holding in his hand and instantly grabbed my fingers,
“Did it burn?”
“Hmm.”
Holding my hand, he took me to the sink, turned on the tap and began to rinse my fingers.
After a long time of rinsing, my fingers were still red, so he fetched some burn ointment and used a piece of gauze to wrap it up for me.
“Um…”
I gazed at my fingers that were now enveloped like a dumpling, speechless, “Dr. Ding, I’m not that delicate, okay?”
“You are, you’re just that delicate!”
“Rubbish! I’m not some pampered daughter of a rich family!”
Yinuo leisurely helped me sit on the sofa, then returned with a plate of pizza.
“You are the pampered daughter of the Song Family, raised in the lap of luxury since childhood. It was you who condescended to marry Gu Yuanzhou, and having been PUA by him for so many years, now feel you’re not respected. Don’t you? Let me tell you if you had married any man other than him, you wouldn’t have been treated like this.”
Yinuo’s words left me stunned.
Before marrying Gu Yuanzhou, I indeed was prosperous and outstanding.
At that time, the Song household was being constantly visited by rich men who were proposing marriage. They almost stepped through the entrance door.
But as proud as I was, I didn’t fancy any of them but took a liking to Gu Yuanzhou, the penniless guy.
Remembering it now, it feels like a mockery to me.
I stopped talking, picked up a piece of pizza with a fork, and put it in my mouth.
Yinuo passed me the milk.
“Eat slowly, it’s hot.”
I took a big mouthful of milk.
“I admit, in the matter of marriage, I failed. You can laugh at me, feel free. I deserve it!”
Yinuo looked at me calmly.
“Why would I laugh at you? Am I that outrageous?”
While I was having a squabble with Yinuo, Su Peisheng and a few others were busy studying something on a laptop.
Before I could finish a piece of pizza, Su Peisheng called out, “We’re set, Yinuo! I have managed to access the surveillance footage!”
I hurried over with my plate, very curious, “What surveillance?”
Yinuo’s face remained calm, “Didn’t you ask me to retrieve the surveillance footage of this year from Green City Properties?”
“But didn’t you say you didn’t want to help me?”
“It’s difficult to locate the CCTV surveillance footage from Green City Properties as the police have already taken it. So, I asked a friend to retrieve footage from the road camera opposite your building, hoping it might provide some clues.”
