Chapter 9 : Is it a Ploy or Not?

• The butler understood and pushed the wheelchair into the house.
• Jiang Yue was shocked and hurriedly followed, but the servants blocked her at the door. She could only plead to Gu Jinyan, "No, it's not like that! Please listen to my explanation!"
• However, Gu Jinyan showed no intention of stopping and gradually moved further away.
• An iron gate separated Jiang Yue from the inside.
• She pleaded desperately, but no one dared to pay attention to her.
• The cold iron gate seemed to slowly suffocate Jiang Yue with despair.
• She couldn't give up so easily!
• Her mother was still waiting for her in the hospital. If she didn't have the funds for the later treatment, Su Rou would face a dead end!
• She couldn't let her mother lose her life!
• The Gu family was her only hope!
• With an exhausted and weak body, Jiang Yue leaned against the door, tears welling up in her eyes.
• No, she couldn't give up.
• "Please listen to my explanation, it's not like that, it's not..."
• Only when Jiang Yue's voice became hoarse did the butler step forward.
• Looking at Jiang Yue with a hint of mockery in his eyes, he had no sympathy for someone who didn't abide by the rules of a woman.
• "Butler, please let me see Mr. Gu. I can explain everything!" Jiang Yue saw the butler as if she had seen a life-saving straw, and hope burst in her eyes.
• The butler remained indifferent and relayed, "Madam is very angry about this matter, but you serve the young master. If you can't make the young master forgive you, then you have to leave the Gu family. After all, the Gu family doesn't need someone useless."
• Jiang Yue knew very well what her role was.
• If even Gu Jinyan didn't want her, there was no reason for her to stay in the Gu family.
• Choking on her words, Jiang Yue said, "Please tell Mr. Gu that I will wait here for him to speak. No matter what his request is, I can do it!"
• As soon as she finished speaking, the butler turned and left, not knowing if he remembered her words.
• But she had no other choice but to believe that he would convey her message.
• All that was left was to wait.
• She found a prominent spot to stand and looked towards the direction where Gu Jinyan was in her memory.
• She wanted Gu Jinyan to see her sincerity.
• She was innocent!
• Unfortunately, a heavy rainstorm suddenly came.
• After a few thunderclaps, the raindrops fell coldly and mercilessly.
• They fell from above, just like the tears streaming down Jiang Yue's face.
• Soon, Jiang Yue was completely soaked, and the rainwater trickled down her hair.
• But she had no intention of leaving the gate because she knew that if she took one step away, she would lose the chance to return to the Gu family completely.
• She didn't know how long had passed, and the sky had already darkened.
• Car lights turned on, followed by approaching footsteps.
• In a daze, Jiang Yue heard the sound and instinctively looked up, but it wasn't the person she wanted to see.
• Under the umbrella, Gu Pingyi looked at her drenched body under the light. The wet fabric wrapped around her curvaceous figure.
• Although it didn't have the same effect as the see-through outfit last time, it had its own charm.
• He didn't know why this woman was kneeling here, but it didn't matter.
• "Sister-in-law, what's going on?" He approached, his gaze becoming more audacious. "Why don't you go inside?"
• Jiang Yue had no interest in talking to this person.
• She hadn't forgotten what he had done to her last time.
• But he was still a member of the Gu family, and she could only choose to remain silent.
• Seeing that she ignored him, Gu Pingyi became even bolder and approached closer, tempting her, "Standing here is useless. You should know who Gu Jinyan is. Following him will only bring you suffering. It's better to follow me."
• "Not only can you have the pleasure of being with a woman, but you don't have to stand here in the rain."
• He smirked.
• This woman could still stand here, indicating that Gu Jinyan still had some lingering feelings for her.
• Perhaps he could use this to his advantage and do something.
• His eyes flickered.
• Jiang Yue felt that this man was shameless to the extreme.
• She glared at him, gritted her teeth, and said, "Shameless! In terms of seniority, I am your sister-in-law. If you speak disrespectfully again, I will tell Madam!"
• "You!"
• Gu Pingyi didn't expect this woman to reject him so straightforwardly, and his face darkened.
• Was he really inferior to that disabled man?
• "Bitch! I want to see how long you can hold on!" He angrily cursed and then walked away. There would be a time when she would beg him!
• Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he left.
• She didn't want to have any connection with Gu Pingyi and just wanted to stay in the Gu family to make a deal with Madam and ultimately cure her mother.
• Night fell, but the rain didn't stop.
• In a daze, Jiang Yue reached out and grabbed the railing.
• But she had no strength left in her body and eventually fell to the ground.
• It was the rainy season, and the rain poured all night.
• The next day.
• The door of the Gu family was opened, and the servants saw Jiang Yue lying on the ground.
• They rushed forward to check and found that she had a high fever. They quickly informed the butler.
• The butler, after hearing the news, hesitated for a moment before turning to the direction of Madam's room.
• Madam had just finished washing up and, seeing the butler standing by, already had an idea. She asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to that woman outside the door?"
• "According to Madam's words, Miss Jiang has a fever and collapsed at the door. Please take a look..."
• The butler stood by, waiting for instructions.
• Madam raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting that woman to have such endurance, enduring the rain all night.
• "Since she is Jinyan's person, it should be up to Jinyan to decide whether she stays or not."
• "Yes."
• The butler understood and turned to Gu Jinyan's room.
• At this time, Gu Jinyan had already gotten up and was sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window with an inexplicable expression.
• From that position, he could vaguely see the situation at the gate, but the sky was gloomy, so he couldn't see it clearly.
• The butler approached at this moment, feeling a little more confident.
• "Young Master, Miss Jiang is still waiting for you outside."
