Chapter 834 The Orphan Girl Deceived by the Pretending-to-Be-Poor CEO (19)
Mu Zhou thought that after that meeting, Xiang Ze should have realized that there was no possibility between them anymore.
But who knew that he would appear around her like a ghost, seemingly out of nowhere.
Gu Huaizhou could no longer hold back. He cornered Xiang Ze in the underground parking garage, grabbed him by the collar, and shoved him against the wall.
"Xiang Ze, my patience with you is running out."
The fierce look between his brows seemed capable of piercing straight through a person.
There was no fear in Xiang Ze's eyes; instead, there was even a hint of madness.
"Fine, come and hit me, kill me if you want. If I can't have Mu Zhou, then I'll make her remember me for the rest of her life."
Gu Huaizhou stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly let go of him.
He straightened his collar and let out a soft scoff:
"Unfortunately, whether you live or die is no longer important to Mu Zhou."
He raised his eyebrows, reverting to his previous carefree attitude.
"Then you can continue to be a voyeur in the shadows and witness our happiness."
Gu Huaizhou ignored him.
However... although I said it was nothing, I was still a little concerned.
He used some methods to drive Xiang Ze out of the country.
Out of sight out of mind.
But to his surprise, the security situation abroad was not good. Xiang Ze, dressed in designer clothes, was robbed by a homeless man on his way home from get off work and was seriously injured.
He is still in a coma in the hospital and his life is not yet out of danger.
When Gu Huaizhou heard the news, his first instinct was to keep it a secret.
Mu Zhou must not find out.
Back then, Xiang Ze was injured when Mu Zhou took him in. Mu Zhou even took on three jobs to pay for his treatment after mistakenly believing that Xiang Ze was sick.
Gu Huaizhou dared not gamble.
He was afraid that Mu Zhou would soften his heart again if he found out.
He turned cold and instructed his assistant:
"Keep an eye on the Xiang family and Xiang Ze's friends, make sure they don't get close to Mu Zhou. Also, contact the mobile carrier and remember to block calls from overseas on her phone."
After he finished speaking, the assistant cautiously said:
"But, Mr. Gu, Miss Mu is already on her way to the airport."
Gu Huaizhou's expression changed, and his heart clenched suddenly.
He gritted his teeth:
Why didn't you tell me before I died?!
He didn't even have time to grab his coat before getting up and quickly leaving the office.
The car sped along the road to Beijing International Airport.
Gu Huaizhou's dark eyebrows hinted at a storm brewing.
He called Mu Zhou, but she didn't answer.
His heart was pounding, and he gripped his phone tightly, veins bulging from the back of his hand to his forearm.
His back was tense, and he remained motionless.
As soon as the car stopped, he drove into the airport without looking back.
Inside the airport, Mu Zhou was looking up at the large screen.
This was her first time at the airport, and she couldn't find her way around.
How can an airport be so big?
With this question in mind, she took out her phone to search for it, only to find a long list of missed calls.
They were all Gu Huaizhou.
She frowned, and just as she was about to call back, someone suddenly tugged at her arm from behind.
She was spun around and then fell into a cold, hard embrace.
The man used a lot of force with his arms, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Mu Zhou was dizzy and somewhat disoriented, all she could hear was his heavy breathing.
After a long while, she finally spoke:
"Gu Huaizhou? What are you doing here?"
She was fine until she spoke, and once she did, Gu Huaizhou's face turned as cold as ice.
He exuded a fierce aura, and his eyes revealed obvious anger.
"Mu Zhou, who gave you permission to leave me? What do you take me for, some piece of trash you can just throw away?"
"Why do you forgive Xiang Ze time and time again, just because he was seriously injured? Even if he dies, what does it have to do with you!"
"So this will soften your heart? Fine, then I'll jump off right now, and you're not allowed to leave!"
His words grew colder and harsher with each sentence, his anger filled with a destructive resolve.
A mad crimson even seeped from those slender eyes.
Even with such a sinister tone, Mu Zhou could still detect the hint of grievance in the voice.
She blinked, took a few seconds to process, and grasped the key point in his words:
"What are you talking about? Injured? Xiang Ze is seriously injured?"
Gu Huaizhou's expression was still grim, but he had calmed down somewhat.
His chest heaved violently, his hand still gripping her wrist tightly, as if afraid she would run away.
His gaze fell on her puzzled face, Gu Huaizhou's pupils trembled, and he suddenly spoke:
"Why are you here?"
“I’m here to pick up a friend. I have a good friend from the welfare home. She’s settled abroad, and of course I’m here to pick her up today.”
After a pause, Mu Zhou shook his hand:
"Don't change the subject. What happened to Xiang Ze? Is he dying? What's going on?"
Gu Huaizhou quickly realized that he had misunderstood.
He secretly wished he could kill his assistant a thousand times over.
He remained silent for a long while before speaking:
"It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense."
Mu Zhou glared at him, telling him to tell the truth.
Gu Huaizhou took a deep breath.
Now I understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.
Under Mu Zhou's compelling gaze, he reluctantly spoke:
"Xiang Ze was beaten."
He briefly explained the situation, downplaying the seriousness of the matter as much as possible.
But Mu Zhou was still aware of the seriousness of his injuries:
"The entire Xiang family went? That must be serious."
Gu Huaizhou stared intently at her face, as if he was ready to go crazy at any moment if she showed the slightest sign of emotion.
Mu Zhou looked at him.
His hair was slightly disheveled, with a tuft of hair hanging down his forehead, and his eyes were red-rimmed.
Like an abandoned and betrayed puppy, it pitifully begged.
He still gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at her, ready to seek justice if he were truly betrayed.
Mu Zhou laughed at his own thoughts.
She laughed out loud.
Now it was Gu Huaizhou's turn to frown.
Mu Zhou gave him a reproachful look:
"Did you think I knew about this, so you were planning to fly abroad to see Xiang Ze?"
Gu Huaizhou didn't say anything, but Mu Zhou knew that was what he was thinking.
She couldn't resist reaching out to pinch his nose:
"You want to jump off here? How are you so amazing? Do you think you're Superman?"
Mu Zhou was somewhat angry.
No matter what, you can't joke around with your health.
Gu Huaizhou stared at her blankly for a long time, then suddenly pulled her into his arms again.
"It was my fault, I'm sorry, I will never say such things again."
He lowered his head and buried his face in her hair, his heart finally settling down.
Mu Zhou put his hands around his waist, patted his back, and whispered:
"I don't like Xiang Ze anymore, I only like you now."
She clearly noticed that Gu Huaizhou's body stiffened.
The next second, he cupped her cheeks and leaned down to kiss her lips.
His unique aura completely enveloped Mu Zhou, stealing his breath.
She instinctively closed her eyes, but after a few seconds, she suddenly opened them again.
"No, no..."
She still has to pick someone up.
Gu Huaizhou reluctantly let go of her, and gently touched her slightly stained lips with his fingertip.
