CHAPTER 128: CHAPTER 128: BLOWING UP HER ESCAPE ROUTE

Actually, she didn’t have many things, besides clothes and toiletries, she had nothing else.

Most of the clothes were bought for her by Sheng Qianchi. She didn’t touch those she hadn’t worn, and those she had worn didn’t seem worth keeping, so she packed them into the suitcase.

While packing, she wondered whether she should call Sheng Qianchi to say goodbye.

When she was squatting on the ground finishing packing the suitcase and about to close the lid, the man walked in slowly, his cool voice followed, "How poor are you, that you even need to take your toiletries?"

It had been a long time since he spoke to her in such a cool and sarcastic tone. Gu Jiayin felt a bit unaccustomed to it, but she still stood up and returned his words with a faint smile, "I’m just afraid my things will be an eyesore to you here."

Sheng Qianchi seemed very angry, giving her a cold glance, he walked over in big strides, pulled up the suitcase and dumped everything out, looking at the messy floor, he said from above, "Every single item was bought with my money, what right do you have to take it?"

Gu Jiayin was speechless.

Considering the principle of not creating issues since they were about to become strangers, she picked up the things she brought when she first moved in, one by one, back into the suitcase, leaving everything else behind.

After closing the suitcase lid, she looked up at him, "Satisfied now?"

Sheng Qianchi pressed his lips, lowered his eyes to look at the woman squatting on the floor, after a moment, he raised his wrist to check his watch, with a business-like demeanor, "Our contract doesn’t end until midnight tonight, so now, clean the room and return all items to their original places."

Gu Jiayin, "..."

Fine, midnight then.

To avoid more trouble, she still followed his words, returning all the things she had just packed back to their original places. She really didn’t understand why he would keep the things she used.

Putting the last toothbrush back in place, she let out a long sigh. When she returned to the bedroom, she found the man had already taken a shower in another room, changed into pajamas, laid out a floor mat, and was quietly working on his laptop, not even glancing at her.

Not even a word of farewell?

Gu Jiayin found it inexplicable, but since he didn’t speak, she wouldn’t make any noise, glancing up at the clock on the wall, it was exactly nine o’clock, three more hours to go.

With nothing to do, she walked over, sat on the bed, and began browsing information on her phone.

He didn’t seem to have any intention to talk to her or go to sleep, the bedroom’s main light remained bright, he seemed immersed in work.

The room was so quiet you couldn’t even hear breathing.

Until the hands of the clock on the wall pointed to midnight, Gu Jiayin’s movement to get up and pick up the suitcase finally broke the silence.

The man still showed no intention to acknowledge her, Gu Jiayin found it indescribably strange, but when she got to the door with her suitcase, she couldn’t help but say goodbye, "Goodbye."

He didn’t utter a single word, as if she didn’t exist.

Gu Jiayin pressed her lips and still opened the door to leave.

Descending the stairs, Sister Li was holding Jiajia waiting in the living room, beside her, there was no one else.

Words of sadness had been said long ago, saying more would seem pretentious, Gu Jiayin smiled, instructed Sister Li to take good care of Jiajia, and left the villa.

Her car was parked quietly on the lawn.

Although the car was also bought by Sheng Qianchi, with the winding mountain roads and the deep night, she wouldn’t insist on some sense of pride by not using the car he bought.

Hence, she directly placed the suitcase into the car trunk, opened the driver’s seat, and got in.

The villa looked especially empty at this moment, not a single shadow, lights flickered in and out of darkness.

For some reason, Gu Jiayin felt a sense of desolation.

When she came, Mo Jun personally picked her up, upon arrival, there were people to help with her things, everyone had a welcoming smile, now as she left, not even Mo Jun was in sight, the servants nowhere to be found.

Is this what they call people leaving the tea cools?

Sheng Qianchi, you really have no grace.

When she started the car engine, a wave of desolation hit her even more because the car inexplicably broke down.

When she drove back after work it was fine, but after just one night, it sat quietly here and broke down, saying no one tampered with it, even a ghost wouldn’t believe it.

Who else would dare mess with her car here but Sheng Qianchi?

A nameless anger rose like a ghostly flame from her heart.

How childish is this action, wasn’t he supposed to be the so-called genius heir of the Sheng Family, did he think this would make her stay?

Ridiculous!

After trying a few more times and confirming the car absolutely couldn’t be driven normally again, Gu Jiayin angrily got out of the car, pulled the suitcase from the trunk, and strode out of the villa gate.

Without a car, she could walk down the mountain.

At this moment, Sheng Qianchi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the second-floor bedroom, a cigarette between his fingers, watching the woman’s stubborn figure slowly recede, curling his lips into a wicked smile.

Since she left so heartlessly tonight, he would give her a memorable farewell.

Gu Jiayin walked down the hill road, dim streetlights casting elongated solitary shadows.

As she walked, she cursed Sheng Qianchi countless times.

Sneaky, lewd, shameless, scoundrel.

The evening breeze blew, lifting her long hair, her white shirt ruffled into chaotic arcs with the wind.

Halfway down the mountain road, suddenly the ground shook, and a hundred meters ahead, flames shot into the sky, illuminating a corner of the mountain scene.

Instinctively, she immediately stopped, based on her professional knowledge, she deduced that an explosion had occurred ahead.

This was the exclusive road to Shuiyunjian, who had such a big grudge with Sheng Qianchi to come and blow up his road in the middle of the night?

Ha!

Preposterous.

No one would have the guts or would do such a boring thing.

Who was this explosion supposed for, not sooner or later, but on the night she was leaving, and precisely when she reached this point.

This road was blown up by Sheng Qianchi himself, and it was remote-controlled, he was monitoring her every move.

Thinking of this, she silently gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and continued forward, she didn’t believe he dared to blow her up.

When she reached the site of the explosion, Gu Jiayin could no longer suppress her anger, like a spark ready to ignite a prairie fire.

The mountain road ahead was impassable, having been blasted into an impassable chasm.

On one side was a cliff, on the other a deep abyss, a gap several dozens of meters wide and deep appeared in the middle of the road. Even with her abilities, she couldn’t magically get across without any tools.

Gu Jiayin could no longer maintain a cool elegance, she angrily threw down the suitcase and turned back.

This separation clearly couldn’t end peacefully.

Evidently, he was spiteful because he couldn’t have her, in that case, she wasn’t an easy target either!

At this moment, Sheng Qianchi sat on the bed in his bedroom, reviewing the surveillance along the road on his laptop, watching the woman angrily return, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Turning off the laptop, he slipped under the covers, turned off the room’s main light, and closed his eyes in contentment.

He was already prepared for her barrage of insults or even to be hit.
