After some time, Xu Weilai finally looked up and sniffled hard before she wiped her tears with her hands and conveniently removed her earpiece. With a forced a smile, she explained, “Gosh, which century are we in? To think that they’d still film tragedies. That’s too much.”

a.s.sistant Lin nodded in agreement, “Yes, it is.”

“Thanks for sending me home.”

“Not at all.”

After Xu Weilai opened the car door and stepped out, waved at a.s.sistant Lin before she made her way towards the entrance to the apartment building.

After she disappeared behind the door, a.s.sistant Lin then started the engine and slammed on the accelerator. He couldn’t help but sigh softly as he drove away from the apartment.

CEO Gu and Miss Xu would be unrelated to each other from now on.

Previously, Gu Yu’s mother had shared her fears about the possibility of the Gu family falling apart if something were to happen to Mr. Gu Sr. Unfortunately, her casual remark had become true.

Anything that could happen will happen.

After Xu Weilai returned to her apartment, dashed straight into her bathroom, for her hair, face and clothes felt slightly chilly from being wet from the rain and she couldn’t afford to fall ill. Standing below the showerhead, she turned on the shower and allowed the hot water to stream down her head.

However, as she was still s.h.i.+vering with cold despite having taken a hot bath, went to the changing room and wrapped herself up with a thick coat after coming out of the shower.

The changing room was initially filled with Gu Yu’s clothes, but subsequently, her clothes slowly ate into his s.p.a.ce and took up two-thirds of the wardrobe.

Xu Weilai c.o.c.ked her head and stared at her clothes. It then occurred to her that she had to start packing. She recalled how she only brought a small suitcase of clothes with her when she first arrived at his house and now it was barely enough to contain all her possessions.

Her lips slowly curled up into a smile as this thought crossed her mind.

“If I hadn’t been so greedy from the start, I wouldn’t have found it so difficult to leave now,” she thought.

She felt rather down, for she never managed to buy a larger suitcase after moving here and now, she would have to brave the heavy rain outside, to do so. After Xu Weilai grabbed her car keys, went out again.

Fortunately, there was a large shopping mall nearby and it only took her fifteen minutes by car.

As it was a rainy day, there were many people and cars in the shopping mall. After much difficulty, Xu Weilai finally managed to find a parking lot for her car. When she got out of her car, found the car next to hers vaguely familiar.

However, she did not think much about it and headed towards the elevator after locking up her car.

She had a clear goal in mind and made her way straight to the luggage store. When the sales a.s.sistant came up to her and asked her what she wanted, she merely replied, “I want the biggest luggage you have. I need two of them and I’m fine with any color and style.”

The salesperson smiled and said, “Sure, this way please.”

Xu Weilai then took out her wallet to pay for her items and just when she was about to take out her credit card, glimpsed the black card in her wallet, paused for a moment.

When the cas.h.i.+er noticed this, asked, “Miss, is something wrong?”

“No, everything’s fine.”

Xu Weilai quickly snapped out of her daze and blinked as she pulled out her own credit card. After handing her card over to the cas.h.i.+er, she closed her wallet to keep the black card out of sight.

She then dragged the huge suitcase in one hand and walked out of the store. However, the graceful silhouette of a woman in the luxury boutique across from the luggage store instantly caught her eye. The lady had an icy but handsome face and was strutting out of the fitting room.

She was trying on a long black evening dress that draped nicely onto her body and accentuated her beautiful curves and she exuded an elegant but cold aura.
