Chapter 395: Chapter 395
Ji Yu’s words were indeed difficult for him to accept.
But since he had already brought Ji Yu to his side, he naturally wouldn’t give up so easily.
Seeing how much Ji Yu cared about this matter, he had no intention of letting her go just like that.
For the next few days, Ji Yu didn’t see any sign of him.
"I want to see your master." Ji Yu’s tone was clear—she just wanted to settle things with Jiang Huai as soon as possible.
But lately, Jiang Huai seemed to be nowhere to be found. She hadn’t seen him at all.
The maid’s expression became somewhat awkward. "Master has been busy outside these days. If you have anything to say, you can leave him a message. He’ll see it when he has time."
Ji Yu wasn’t polite about it. She grabbed the phone and unleashed a torrent of insults, clearly having no intention of showing Jiang Huai any respect.
She hadn’t forgotten the things Jiang Huai had done before. Just cursing him a little was already letting him off easy.
Moreover, she needed to figure out a way to leave this place. If she kept sitting around doing nothing, who knows what might happen.
"Miss Ji, Master said you can walk around here freely, but you absolutely cannot leave this courtyard. It’s dangerous outside. If you leave, you might get captured by Master’s rivals."
Ji Yu gave her a mock smile. "Who could possibly be more dangerous than Jiang Huai? I truly don’t understand what he’s trying to do. Can’t he just live like a decent human being?"
If Jiang Huai even had a shred of humanity, he wouldn’t have done so many disgusting things.
The most pressing issue was that Ji Yu hadn’t finished dealing with Charles, and she didn’t know what was going on with him and his people.
Her head ached, but that didn’t mean she would let the matter slide.
Seeing how serious Ji Yu was about this, the maid was helpless. She could only hope Jiang Huai would return soon; otherwise, something was bound to go wrong.
The messages Ji Yu sent were indeed effective. As soon as Jiang Huai saw those insults, he guessed who had sent them.
He chuckled softly, not angered in the slightest.
"Young Master, the Gu family seems to have gone insane. They keep intercepting our business deals. If this continues, the company will face significant losses. Should we prioritize handling this situation first?"
"Leave it for now. What I care about most at the moment is Ji Yu." His mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of Ji Yu, leaving him in no mood to deal with corporate matters.
Seeing his determined attitude, the secretary had no choice but to relent. She merely hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t stir up any more trouble.
"Let’s discuss it tonight. For now, I need to check on how Yu is doing."
After a few days apart, he began to miss Ji Yu.
But when they finally met, Ji Yu wasn’t idle either.
If he hadn’t dodged quickly, the flying crockery would have smashed straight into his face.
Ji Yu’s expression was cold, her attitude clearly indifferent.
"Jiang Huai, how long are you planning to keep me locked up here? If you’re not afraid of me dragging you down with me, then go ahead, keep me imprisoned."
Her frustration was palpable, but she was utterly helpless. Just thinking about the disgusting things Gu Qixiao had done made her furious to no end.
"Yu, why must you do this? Gu Qixiao has already started targeting my company. Do you know what methods he’s using? The most despicable, underhanded tactics you despise the most. Do you still want to go back to him?"
Ji Yu had long known Gu Qixiao wouldn’t stay out of this. Chapters fırst released on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
And wasn’t the person before her the true instigator behind it all?
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. I don’t understand your point. My feelings for Gu Qixiao won’t crumble because of a few words from you." Her love for Gu Qixiao had never wavered, not for a moment.
She loved Gu Qixiao. She loved how being together with him made her feel—something Jiang Huai could never understand.
"Yu, isn’t my meaning clear enough? He and I are the same type of person. If you can love Gu Qixiao, then you’ll inevitably fall for me too. You can’t dismiss me outright . That day when you didn’t save me—I can pretend it didn’t happen."
For Ji Yu, he had long abandoned his principles. But even now, Ji Yu refused to give him even a shred of her affection. He didn’t know what else he could do to resolve the situation.
This time, Ji Yu surprised him by not reacting angrily. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to appear calm and composed.
"You’ve already crossed the line. What you’re doing now—it’s wrong, Jiang Huai. You should understand that. I don’t have feelings for you. Even if there was anything between us, it would only be friendship. But everything you’ve done has destroyed even that friendship."
She couldn’t forget the anguished cries of those people before their deaths, nor could she forgive Jiang Huai for nearly killing her child.
She had tried so hard to forget everything, but the memories still haunted her like specters.
"Yu, I never wanted your friendship. Did you think I helped you back then because I wanted to be your friend?" His laugh was bitter, his face pale, as if he finally understood Ji Yu’s intent—a truth he struggled to accept.
"Back then, didn’t you feel anything for me? I can accept that my life meant nothing to you, but how could you ignore my heart?" He had already placed his heart in Ji Yu’s hands. So why had things turned out this terribly?
"Yu, don’t be afraid. I really like you. Please don’t be afraid of me, alright?" He gently placed his hand on Ji Yu’s cheek, as if wanting to feel her warmth. But Ji Yu avoided him without hesitation.
His hand froze midair, and the light in his eyes dimmed as he looked at her. "Yu, you’re so important to me, yet you keep pushing me away. Why are you pushing me away?"
His heart, already fragile, felt like it was being crushed by her yet again.
"Because there’s no future for us. And this face you wear—it doesn’t belong to you. I told you before, I won’t help you with something . I’ll do my best to return everything that belongs to Charles."
