Chapter 160 Being taken in by Gu Ye
Then came a series of thumping sounds from outside; Jackson's men were forcibly breaking down the door.
Chu Xinglan and Shu Weiting's expressions changed drastically in an instant.
"It's over, it's really over now." Shu Weiting trembled with fear.
Chu Xinglan hugged Shu Weiting tightly, unsure of what to do. She glanced towards the bedroom, then a thought flashed through her mind.
"Tingting, don't be afraid, come with me."
She led Shu Weiting to the bedroom.
Shu Weiting looked at her, puzzled.
Chu Xinglan drew back the curtains in the bedroom and opened the window, suddenly seeing the balcony in front of her.
Chu Xinglan first leaned half her body out, then turned to Shu Weiting and said, "Tingting, come with me."
"Is this...is this okay?" Shu Weiting hesitated.
Although it's only about a meter from the window to the opposite balcony, you could still fall and die. And even if you hide on the other side, will you be safe?
"Believe me, Gu Ye is inside. No matter how outrageous Jackson is, he can't openly search Gu Ye's house."
Chu Xinglan said decisively.
As the banging on the door grew louder, Shu Weiting no longer hesitated.
She and Chu Xinglan held hands and carefully climbed out the window to jump onto the balcony opposite.
After arriving safely, Chu Xinglan took out a stick and closed the window in her bedroom before going inside with Shu Weiting.
Gu Ye was on the phone when he suddenly saw Chu Xinglan and Shu Weiting running over from the balcony, and he was taken aback.
"Lanlan, what are you doing here?" Gu Ye's heart pounded at the thought that she might have accidentally fallen.
"Jackson came, so we had no choice but to climb in through the window." Chu Xinglan said, pulling Shu Weiting into Gu Ye's bedroom and closing the door.
Gu Ye poured two glasses of water and handed them to them.
"You can stay here without worry, nothing will happen!"
"Thank you!" Shu Weiting took the water glass and thanked Gu Ye.
"Gu Ye, how's it going over there? Will Jackson come looking for us?"
Although she brought Shu Weiting over, Chu Xinglan was also worried that it would implicate Gu Ye.
"They... should be leaving soon."
Gu Ye had already called the property management, but this only temporarily delayed Jackson. Given that man's personality, he wouldn't let it go so easily.
Hearing Gu Ye say this, Chu Xinglan couldn't rest easy; she knew things wouldn't end like this.
Shu Weiting knew this too. She silently took a sip of water, her heart pounding with anxiety.
After Jackson and the others left, Gu Ye did not let Shu Weiting leave, but let her stay in his house. Chu Xinglan went back to check and found that the door was damaged and the house was in a mess. Gu Ye had already contacted the property management to reinstall a security door for her.
Looking at the messy house, Chu Xinglan was filled with worry.
"Gu Ye, is there really no other way?" Chu Xinglan looked up at Gu Ye.
"Let her stay with me for now." Gu Ye couldn't bear to see her sad. Although he didn't want to get involved in Shu Weiting's affairs, he couldn't ignore Chu Xinglan's feelings.
Chu Xinglan glanced at Gu Ye gratefully, but said nothing.
"Lanlan, how is it? Is Jackson really gone?" Shu Weiting asked Chu Xinglan as she returned.
"He's gone, everything's fine now." Chu Xinglan nodded.
"That's good!" Shu Weiting breathed a sigh of relief. She sat weakly on the bed, her tense heart calming down a little.
"Tingting, don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if I can't do anything, there's still Gu Ye, right? He would never stand by and watch you be bullied by those people."
Chu Xinglan smiled gently and comforted her.
Shu Weiting looked up at Gu Ye, only to see Gu Ye turn and leave.
Shu Weiting looked downcast as she turned to look at Chu Xinglan, who was smiling and comforting her.
The only one who could protect her was Gu Ye, but in Gu Ye's heart, there was only her good friend Chu Xinglan. If it weren't for Chu Xinglan, Gu Ye wouldn't care about her life or death at all, just like in his previous life, he was unmoved even when he saw her being tortured by Jackson.
The thought of Jackson made Shu Weiting tremble inexplicably.
Although she had no memories of her past life and didn't know how Jackson had treated her, the deep-seated fear in her bones wouldn't lie to her; she absolutely couldn't fall into that terrible man's hands again.
"Tingting, come and have something to eat with us."
Chu Xinglan placed the delicious dishes that Gu Ye had ordered on the table, and then went into the bedroom to invite Shu Weiting to dine with her.
Thinking of the bleak future, Shu Weiting lost her appetite and shook her head dejectedly.
"You guys eat."
Chu Xinglan sighed softly and had no choice but to leave.
"You've lost weight these past few days, eat more." Gu Ye placed food in Chu Xinglan's bowl, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Really?" Chu Xinglan subconsciously touched her stomach, worried that her protruding belly would give Gu Ye away.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Gu Ye asked with concern.
"No, I like all of these." Chu Xinglan said with a smile, picking up her chopsticks and wolfing down her food.
"Slow down, no one's going to steal it." Gu Ye shook his head at Chu Xinglan, then chuckled helplessly.
"Aren't you human?" Chu Xinglan pouted, pretending to be angry. Who told him to laugh at her? She was just afraid he would notice her unusual behavior, which is why she panicked for a moment.
"How could I bear to compete with you for it!" Gu Ye lightly flicked Chu Xinglan's forehead with his finger.
Chu Xinglan, wincing in pain, looked up at Gu Ye's smiling face.
Only at this moment did she truly realize how happy and lucky she was to have met such a wonderful man.
Although Jackson is handsome, rich, and powerful, he tramples on all women and treats them as playthings. Only Gu Ye is devoted to him and has a special affection for him.
“Gu Ye…”
Moved by her feelings, Chu Xinglan gently called Gu Ye's name.
"Hmm?" Gu Ye looked at her gently, a smile playing on his lips, waiting for her to speak.
"No, it's nothing." Chu Xinglan realized what was happening and quickly buried her head in her food, feeling nervous and embarrassed.
What was wrong with her just now? Her tone and expression were no different from those of a female animal seeking pleasure. No wonder Gu Ye looked at her with that strange gaze.
Shu Weiting, who was huddled in her room, accidentally witnessed this heartwarming scene, and suddenly her heart was stirred.
Why did it turn out like this? She and Chu Xinglan were equally good at everything, so why was she so lucky to be loved by so many people, while she was entangled with a terrible man and forced to become his plaything?
In what way is she inferior to Chu Xinglan? How come Chu Xinglan is so lucky while she has to suffer such misfortune?
Looking at Chu Xinglan being carefully protected by Gu Ye, Shu Weiting's heart suddenly became crazy and twisted.
