Being so concerned by the young man, Gu Jin felt quite flattered.
She withdrew her gaze from him and, holding the young man’s hand, followed the aroma of the food towards the kitchen.
"It’s a long story, let’s talk while eating."
"Alright—"
After the two of them finished eating, An Mingji finally figured out what had happened.
Upon learning that people from the Zhen Family had co and might take Gu Jin away, the light in his eyes turned dark and deep.
He felt an uneasy worry, as they had been together day by day for the past two years.
He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if they were to be separated one day.
Until Gu Jin said she would not go with the Zhen Family.
In fact, upon knowing the Zhen Family’s ill intentions, his worries gradually dissipated, replaced by one dark thought after another.
Since the people from the Zhen Family made Ah Jin unhappy, perhaps sothing could be done to make them retreat.
After explaining everything, Gu Jin thought the young man wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore.
But reality proved she was too naive in her thinking.
At the sa ti after school, Gu Jin saw the Zhen butler again.
This ti, the other ca in looking quite disheveled.
Examining the other from head to toe in his ssy state, she showed surprise in her eyes.
"Miss!"
Despite being angry, the Zhen butler still called Gu Jin "Miss" through gritted teeth.
She greeted with a smile: "Long ti no see, Butler Zhen, anything I can help with?"
"I should be the one asking you that!"
At this mont, Butler Zhen was soaked through, his hair plastered to his face as if he had just crawled out of water.
He shook the wet sleeves of his clothes and gazed coldly at Gu Jin.
Feeling rather innocent and confused by his anger, Gu Jin couldn’t deny the schadenfreude stirring within.
She squinted her eyes and tilted her head, asking, "I don’t understand that statent; what should I know?"
Her innocent look nearly drove Butler Zhen to frustration.
With trembling hands, as though unbearable, he said, "For the past couple of days, I’ve been tricked all the ti—it’s either my car gets a flat tire, or my driver gets beaten up for no reason, or I get drenched head to toe, and even the police ca yesterday to investigate for a tip-off about engaging in illegal activities.
If you didn’t want to go with , you could have just said so directly; there’s no need to sche behind my back, it’s really disgraceful!"
"Pfft—"
Upon hearing his predicant, Gu Jin couldn’t help but laugh.
This laughter infuriated Butler Zhen, "You’re being too much! I will report all of this to Sir and Madam truthfully!"
As he said this, Gu Jin’s smile faded.
She said solemnly, "I told you from the start, I wouldn’t go with you! What does your getting sched against have to do with ? Go find the person targeting you, I have no relation with you, don’t expect to listen to your complaints!"
Gu Jin walked past him with a cold expression and left.
"Can you honestly swear that everything I’ve experienced these past two days isn’t your doing?!"
Butler Zhen still didn’t believe it; he was convinced it was Gu Jin’s doing.
Without looking back, Gu Jin replied, "Butler Zhen, you should know that if you walk the night roads often, you’ll run into ghosts! Wrongdoings will catch up with you sooner or later!"
"But here in Wanhai, apart from you, I don’t know anyone else; who else could have done these things but you!" Butler Zhen’s urgent voice rang out behind her.
Indeed, in Wanhai City, Butler Zhen had no other suspects but Gu Jin.
Gu Jin stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Butler Zhen.
"When you were beaten up for no reason or splashed with water, didn’t you see the person doing it?"
