Chapter 974: Chapter 978: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (18)
Zhu Ying’s voice was hoarse as she tried to hide her fear with great effort.
Though she didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that after experiencing the weakness of being unable to get off the bed, she truly understood the importance of a healthy body.
She never wanted to return to her previous sickly state.
Taking a single step and gasping for breath like a cow, feeling as if about to suffocate—such a sensation was truly unbearable, only slightly better than death.
Thus, the woman who intruded between her and her husband became extremely precious. Even though she loathed the idea of tearing the woman apart, she still pinched her nose and endured it for many years, considering the benefits she could bring.
But now, at the most critical moment, she vanished, causing a massive panic within Zhu Ying.
Upon learning of Gu Ling’s disappearance, she immediately ordered someone to find Gu Ling’s biological mother, only to find, as expected, she had disappeared as well.
Compared to Gu Ling’s disappearance, the news of her mother’s simultaneous vanishing was what Zhu Ying found more concerning.
One cannot deny that at this crucial juncture, Zhu Ying loved herself the most.
This realization brought a trace of shame to her, but she could not care less now, nor did she want to think much about it; all that filled her mind was finding that woman immediately.
Zhu Ying’s grotesquely twisted expression stunned the house’s maids and nannies who could never imagine such an expression appearing on the normally gentle and kind madam.
Yet, they quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see a thing.
Gu Zihao was also surprised by his wife’s fierce demeanor, but he rather understood it well.
He gently patted Zhu Ying’s hand-back soothingly and said, "Don’t worry, I will find her."
With a tearful face, Zhu Ying had tears on her lashes as her well-manicured nails deeply dug into Gu Zihao’s palm, "Darling, you must find her, I don’t want..."
"Don’t say more, I understand." Gu Zihao seemed unaffected by the pain in his palm as he gazed deeply and gently at Zhu Ying, ready to swear an oath, "Rest assured, I promise you, your health will definitely improve."
With this assurance, Zhu Ying’s turbulent heart finally settled.
Soon, fatigue washed over her.
Her health was only slightly better than before, not entirely well, and after the uproar, the slight flush on her face pale away completely.
Gu Zihao truly cherished his wife dearly, immediately noticing Zhu Ying’s signs of fatigue.
With much coaxing and persuasion, he managed to convince her to rest.
As Zhu Ying’s figure left the living room, Gu Zihao’s sinister and terrifying look fully emerged in front of others.
The Gu family’s servants dared not make a sound, even holding their breaths.
Gu Zihao laughed angrily as his gaze swept across the people before him.
"A living person disappears for several hours without anyone noticing? What did I hire you for?"
From the surveillance, the last appearance of Gu Ling’s mother was at dinner time.
She snuck out alone and never returned.
Gu Zihao smashed the vase on the ground fiercely, wiping up his messy hair as his vicious gaze glanced at those behind him.
Immediately, a few strong men in camouflage uniforms stepped forward, leading out all the servants and nannies from the living room.
Once the room was cleared, Gu Zihao laughed harshly, biting his molars, "After ten years, I underestimated that woman. She’s indeed grown capable."
"Initially, I planned to let you live out your remaining days peacefully due to your contributions for Yingying. But you chose to disrespect, so don’t blame me for being cruel and heartless."
Psychologically, Gu Zihao never regarded Gu Ling’s mother and daughter as equal to himself, at best viewing them as tools he needed.
"Find them, even if you have to dig three feet deep, make sure you find them."
Gu Ling, with her mother, smoothly traveled through several places, finally leaving the country from the border.
She was somewhat worried throughout, considering the Gu family’s influence. Despite her nominal father’s being a romantic at heart, his capabilities were extraordinary; otherwise, Gu family wouldn’t stand above many others.
However, her concern seemed unwarranted, as everything went so smoothly, like she was blessed by Buddha.
Su Li didn’t know whether Buddha blessed them, but she knew she played Buddha and solved a tiny nuisance for the obedient Little Cutie.
Anyway, it was better than nothing—life was too dull, adding joy was good.
Regarding Gai Yun, she was unaware of her family’s discord. Even the two bodyguards assigned to her were transferred out to join the search for Gu Ling’s mother-daughter duo.
For this daughter, Gu Zihao did love her, but it was the kind of love that came along due to his love for her another.
Now, as his wife faced trouble, he couldn’t care for his daughter.
Unfortunately, Gai Yun seemed oblivious to all this.
After a complaint call, she pushed her unpleasant half-sister out of her mind. To her, the girl’s absence was quite good.
Only she and Yun Yu remained to spend their days together.
However, she was deeply immersed in the sea of love, unable to extricate herself. But no sooner had the days of bliss passed, trouble quickly arose.
Having gained a white-rich-beautiful, classy girlfriend, Yun Yu became ostentatious for several days, seemingly eager to erase the previous disgrace.
Compared to the positive and sunny character from the previous life, this reincarnation of Yun Yu strayed further under Su Li’s stimuli.
Yun Yu took Gai Yun, continuously flaunting his presence before Su Li.
Su Li felt indifferent, but other classmates disagreed.
A man behaving like Yun Yu was seen as utterly disgraceful.
The man was mean-spirited and petty, and the woman was jealous and cynical—a perfect match indeed. They were destined to be together, advised to never separate, lest they harm others.
In short, Yun Yu’s frequent controversial actions made everyone sick.
Su Li’s silence was misinterpreted by Yun Yu as deep regret, thinking she must at least be sorry she didn’t make different choices.
She looked down on him before, now she couldn’t even hope to reach him.
Su Li: Do you really think that, no kidding?
Feeling like he finally expelled his sulk, Yun Yu then transferred his gaze away from Su Li.
On one hand, Gai Yun argued with him; on the other, he was preparing to resume his previous occupation.
