Chapter 38
Secretly Returning to the Gu Residence
“Where’s Ye Yan?” Old Madam Gu asked. No matter how much she disliked her, she was still her daughter-in-law. Seeing that she didn’t return with them, she still had to ask about her.
“Ignore her.” Gu Lin took off his coat tiredly. His intuition told him that Ye Yan had something to do with today’s corpse. Then, Gu Lin told the others everything that had happened today. If Ye Yan had really broken the law, they would not cover up for her.
It was already the next morning when Yunbao woke up. She only remembered that the maid had helped her take a shower before losing her memories. Although she had run up and down yesterday, she felt much more energetic after sleeping.
“Good morning, Grandpa!” When Yunbao washed up and went downstairs, she saw Old Master Gu sitting on the sofa. She jogged over and saw an old man who was about the same age as Old Master Gu sitting opposite her.
“This must be Gu Teng’s daughter!” The person looked at her with a smile. However, Yunbao clearly did not know him. She grabbed Old Master Gu uneasily.
“Let me introduce you.” Old Master Gu also saw Yunbao’s uneasiness and reached out to hold her small hand. “This is your Grandpa Rong. He’s an old friend of Grandpa’s. By the way, he also has a grandson who’s about the same age as you.”
“Hello, Grandpa Rong!” Yunbao nodded obediently, making Rong Tian extremely fond of her. He had always liked girls, but unfortunately, he only had a son and a grandson. His son and daughter-in-law had passed away in a traffic accident, causing him to only have a grandson to accompany him now. Unfortunately, that child did not like to talk. His cold face from day to night did not seem like a child at all. It was not cute at all.
“That child isn’t in the country recently. I’ll bring him over to play with you next time I have time.”
After that, Old Master Gu and Old Master Rong wanted to go out to eat. Yunbao thought about it and rejected them because she hadn’t practiced the piano today. She really wanted to go, but she promised Teacher Ji that she would practice the piano every day.
After the two elders left, she was the only one left in the entire Gu family’s old residence. Gu Lin and his daughter went out. Old Madam Gu went to the hospital for a checkup today, and Gu Peng accompanied her. Gu Ming went to tutoring, and the others went to work. Only Gu Jia, who was still catching up on sleep, was left at home. The entire Gu family’s old residence suddenly became a little deserted.
Yunbao brought Little Tiger to the piano room to practice her previous techniques. Little Tiger also shook his feathers with the music. Ever since he could communicate with Yunbao, he liked this little girl even more.
She was optimistic, strong, and kind. Just like that, the girl and bird immersed themselves in the music. Yunbao improved rapidly, as if she was born to play the piano. The sunlight shone through the window of the piano room on Yunbao’s body, making her look like an angel.
After the Gu family’s door was opened and closed, Ye Yan sneaked in. She originally wanted to climb over the wall and enter. She didn’t know if it was because she was lucky enough to encounter security guards who didn’t know what had happened yesterday, or if the Gu family didn’t give orders to prevent her from entering.
It’s all that little lunatic’s fault. Ye Yan thought to herself. If it weren’t for her, how could she have been hated by Gu Lin? Moreover, that matter had been dug up again. Last night, she specially went to look for the person who had dealt with that matter back then.
She did not expect that person to ask for 500,000 yuan. Although this was only the money for a beauty treatment in the past, Ye Yan was penniless now. She could only secretly return to the Gu family to get a card or see if there was anything valuable.
She had been paying attention since she entered the house. Other than some maids who were still cleaning, she could not find any other Gu family members. It was really a godsend opportunity, Ye Yan thought.
She quickly ran to her room and took her card. After some thought, she took a few of Gu Lin’s watches. If things were really traced back to her, selling these watches wouold let her live a little better.
With this thought in mind, Ye Yan hurriedly packed up some things. When she turned around and passed by the corridor, she heard the sound of the piano coming from the room upstairs. It was that little lunatic!
When Ye Yan thought of Yunbao, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If not for her, how could she have fallen to such a state today! Ye Yan’s eyes darted around as she thought of a solution. If she kidnapped this little lunatic, perhaps the Gu family would let her off, or the Gu family would ask the police to let her off. Even if it didn’t work, they would give her time to escape. After all, the Gu family treated Yunbao as their most precious treasure!
Yunbao was focused on playing the piano and was not in the mood to think about anything else. Her vigilance gradually decreased. By the time she reacted, it was already too late. Ye Yan was standing behind her and the cloth in her hand was stained with something. The more Yunbao struggled, the more drowsy she became. In the end, she fainted.
