BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239 - 239: What Did She See (3)
Anhao was sitting in a taxi on the side of the plaza outside Shengling Group. Her phone rang once before it was muted.
She lowered her head and looked at the phone screen that kept lighting up. She saw Zuo Hancheng’s name on the screen. She did not pick up or hang up. She just leaned her head against the car window and remained silent.
She did not want to do anything willfully, nor did she want to cry and make a scene. This was not her character.
Even though there was a moment when she really wanted to rush in and slap Rong Xue before leaving.
She had endured it for Zuo Hancheng’s sake, but she needed to calm down.
She just wanted to find a place to sit quietly for a while or find a friend to talk to.
Perhaps she could divert her attention. When she came back to her senses and thought about these things, she would be much more clear-headed.
Zuo Hancheng had called her a few times, but she did not pay much attention to it. When her phone screen finally stopped lighting up, she turned off her phone and put it in her bag. In the blink of an eye, she saw the taxi passing by the widest river in A City. She looked at the river that was still glistening even when it snowed in winter.
However, she couldn’t feel better.
Didn’t you say that you could take it up and let it go?
Didn’t you say that you should always be awake and not fall too deep into it?
Didn’t she say that she should keep an appropriate distance from her feelings and never let herself fall under that man’s trousers so easily?
What happened to trust?
Gu Anhao, what’s wrong with you?
Could it be that he had really fallen in love with her to the point where he couldn’t pull her out? Could it be that a mere hug is enough to make you feel so uncomfortable?
It was worse than hearing about Yi Zeyang’s engagement, worse than seeing Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran together, worse than being misunderstood and isolated by everyone in school…
Why was it so uncomfortable…
Anhao sniffed and wiped the corner of her eyes.
Fortunately, she did not cry.
Her vision was becoming more and more blurry. Perhaps it was because the snow outside the car was too heavy and covered her eyes, or perhaps it was because of the fatigue caused by her tutoring. It was definitely not because of her tears.
It was not until a drop of warmth landed on her hand that she suddenly lowered her head to look at the wet spot on the back of her hand. With a ” wah , she leaned against the car window and began to cry loudly.
The driver was shocked and immediately braked.””Little girl, are you alright?”
Anhao cried harder and harder. She was intoxicated from crying when she heard the driver’s voice. She looked up at him with her red eyes.”Do I look like I’m okay?”
The driver was embarrassed.” But, little girl, where are you going?” You didn’t say anything after you got into the car. I thought you were driving in this direction, but you didn’t say where you were going when we were about to cross the river.”
Anhao looked up at the river and wiped her tears.””l want to jump into the river!”
The driver was so scared that he immediately turned off the engine.”Little girl, don’t take things too hard. If you take things too hard, you can’t take your own life! Why don’t I send you to the police station? If you have anything to say, tell the police. You’re still young, so don’t take things too hard. You can’t jump into this river…”
Anhao sniffed and sniffled as she replied,””My father doesn’t love my mother. My biological mother died of illness a few years ago. She was bullied when she was young, but she couldn’t bully others when she grew up. Now that she’s married, her husband has been snatched away. I don’t know what I did in my previous life to offend the heavens and make my life so miserable…”
She continued to stutter as she looked at the river not far away.” Don’t you think I have no hope of living like this? Living is a waste of air, and no one will remember me if I die. I’ll just jump into the river and commit suicide to get on the social news or something. That way, at least my name will be left on the newspapers…”
The chauffeur saw that she seemed to be crying very sadly.”Young lady, why don’t I send you to the police station…”
“I’m not going. I’m not going anywhere. I want to jump into the river!”
The driver was frightened.” Don’t, don’t, don’t. Don’t take things too hard. What else do you want other than jumping into the river? Even though I don’t have much ability, I can’t watch a young lady like you die in vain.”
Anhao sobbed and looked at him with tears in her eyes.”Uncle driver, I forgot to bring my wallet…
The chauffeur was stunned for a moment before he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”Alright, alright, I don’t want the fare. Just tell me where you want to go. I’ll send you there for free, okay?”
Anhao sniffed again before taking out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tears and snot.””Then send me to the station.”
The driver nodded and quickly started the engine to drive away from the riverside.
Twenty minutes later-
Anhao stood at the roadside of the bus station and waved goodbye to the driver. Then, she turned around and walked back to the bus station.
It was only after the driver sighed and drove away that Anhao stopped and turned around to glance at the taxi.
When someone was in a bad mood and didn’t tell them the route, they started to drive around.
He drove so far to get out of the way. Did he really think that when he was in a bad mood, he couldn’t tell that he was trying to cheat money by taking a detour? The meter had already shown more than 100 yuan.
If she hadn’t put on a crying scene just now, she would have been ripped off by the taxi driver.
Fortunately, Gu Anhao was more experienced than the driver. Not only did she get a free ride on the sightseeing bus, but she also didn’t spend any money.
Anhao raised her hand and wiped her eyes that had turned red from crying. She took a deep breath and looked up at the bus stop in front of her before walking in
In the CEO’s office of Shengling Group.
Zuo Hancheng sat behind his desk and looked at the tonic soup in the thermos cup and the smiley face lunch in the lunch box. He did not speak for a long time.
Rong Xue had already left. Mobai stood in the office and looked at Zuo Hancheng. He did not dare to say anything. He only looked at the soup and rice in the thermos flask and thought that Miss Gu must have misunderstood something when she saw Miss Rong and President Zuo together.
On the other end of the phone was the security room of Liujing Garden.”Mr.
Zuo, we’ve already checked. There’s no record of Miss Gu returning to the
Gilded Landscape Garden in the past hour.”
Zuo Hancheng put down the phone and his gaze fell back on the thermos flask on the table.
Mobai couldn’t tell what President Zuo was thinking, but he could clearly feel the low pressure in the office. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Zuo Hancheng picked up his phone again and dialed Anhao’s number. A cold female voice came from the other end of the line.”l’m sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…’
Mobai was wondering where Anhao was going when he suddenly heard the ear-piercing sound of the chair scraping against the floor as it retreated.
When she looked up, she was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng standing up and walking out of the office with a cold expression on his face..
