Chapter 158 Shu Weiting is driven to a dead end
"You'd better not touch her," Gu Ye warned in a deep voice.
"Fine, I don't want to compete with a real madman to see who's crazier. You can take your woman, I'll just take my little kitten."
Jackson looked at Shu Weiting, who was forced to kneel on the ground.
Shu Weiting inexplicably flinched.
Chu Xinglan broke free from Gu Ye's hand and tried to rush towards Shu Weiting, but Gu Ye held her tightly.
"Gu Ye!" She looked at Gu Ye with pleading eyes.
Gu Yejun frowned slightly.
"I want to take her with me too."
Jackson's face darkened, and he glanced at Chu Xinglan with a strange, cold smile.
"Today I, Jackson, am giving you, Gu Ye, face, but next time it won't be so easy."
After Jackson finished speaking, he gestured to his men, and the men who were holding Shu Weiting immediately let go.
Jackson and his men turned and disappeared.
Upon gaining her freedom, Shu Weiting, pale as a ghost, collapsed to the ground in terror.
Who exactly is this man named Jackson? Why does he know her, but she knows nothing about him?
Is he also a reborn person, just like Chu Xinglan?
Chu Xinglan quickly ran over and helped Shu Weiting up.
"Tingting, are you alright?"
Shu Weiting's legs were actually trembling with fear. She shook her head, pale-faced, to indicate that she was not feeling well at all.
Chu Xinglan, who was supporting Shu Weiting, couldn't help but glance at Gu Ye. What was he hiding from her?
Why did this man named Jackson come looking for Shu Weiting when she hadn't even left the country? And Jackson, like them, is a reincarnated person, so why would Shu Weiting have anything to do with someone like him? Wasn't her tragedy caused by being chosen by a famous foreign director? But this Jackson is clearly more dangerous than they anticipated.
"Gu Ye, what are you hiding from me? And what's going on between Tingting and Jackson?"
After returning to her residence, Chu Xinglan comforted Shu Weiting and put her to bed. Then, with a serious expression, she confronted Gu Ye, demanding an explanation.
Gu Ye frowned, knowing he couldn't hide it from Lanlan.
“Jackson is a terrible man. I don’t know why your friend offended him, but in your past life, Shu Weiting became Jackson’s plaything.”
"Forbidden...forbidden meat?" Chu Xinglan stared at Gu Ye in disbelief.
Shu Weiting was not asleep. She heard Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye's conversation and, thinking of that terrifying man, trembled with inexplicable fear.
"Didn't you say that Tingting was spotted by a famous director, became an overnight sensation, and then tragically died at home? How did it become Jackson's story..."
Chu Xinglan couldn't quite figure out what had gone wrong.
“I didn’t lie to you. That’s what the news reported back then, and I believed that your friend died at that time. But many years later, I saw her with her hands and feet tied up in Jackson’s house. Jackson likes to show off his concubines. No matter what kind of woman she is, she can only be obedient to him. Your friend’s personality just satisfied his desire for a challenge.”
"That beast! That man is a beast! I absolutely cannot let Tingting fall into his hands!" Chu Xinglan said indignantly.
Gu Ye frowned and said slowly, "The Shu family can't protect her. Once Jackson takes a liking to her, he will stop at nothing to get her. If we anger him, I'm afraid the Shu family will also be destroyed."
"Isn't there a law?" Chu Xinglan clenched her fists. "Can he really cover up everything?"
“You’re right. No one in the underworld or the legitimate world dares to mess with him. Moreover, he’s not subject to our laws and runs rampant in this lawless place.”
Gu Ye didn't want to scare Chu Xinglan, but she also had to make her understand that Shu Weiting's matter was beyond her control. The reason she hadn't told her the whole truth was because Jackson was a troublesome person, and given her personality, she wouldn't let her friend be imprisoned.
"Gu Ye, you can protect Tingting, right?"
If it weren't for him, Shu Weiting wouldn't be safe and sound. Although she couldn't protect her, and neither could the Shu family, as long as Gu Ye could protect her, that would be enough.
“Lanlan, I don’t want to provoke Jackson if I’m not forced to. I’m willing to go through fire and water for you, but I can’t be your friend’s enemy.”
Gu Ye reached out and touched Chu Xinglan's head. He wanted her to understand that not everyone was someone he, Gu Ye, could give his all for.
Chu Xinglan's hopes seemed to have been dashed. She looked at Gu Ye and knew that she couldn't force him to protect Shu Weiting for her.
"I understand, but Tingting, even if I can't protect her, I will protect her."
Chu Xinglan lowered her head, her tone firm. She left Gu Ye's side and went into the bedroom to check on Shu Weiting.
Shu Weiting, her eyes brimming with tears, quickly wiped them away and pretended to be asleep.
When Chu Xinglan walked in, she saw the wet pillow and knew that Shu Weiting had overheard her conversation with Gu Ye. She couldn't help but sigh softly, sat down next to Shu Weiting, and said gently, "Tingting, don't worry, I will definitely not let that man named Jackson take you away."
Upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words, Shu Weiting finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears. She hugged Chu Xinglan tightly, her voice hoarse from crying.
"How can you protect me? Have you forgotten what Gu Ye said? No one in this world can protect me. I can't escape. I can only become that man's plaything."
"Tingting, don't say that. We'll definitely find a way." Chu Xinglan patted her back to comfort her.
“There is a way, and that way is to get Gu Ye to protect me, but he… won’t do that.”
Shu Weiting glanced in Gu Ye's direction.
“Tingting…”
Chu Xinglan didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Gu Ye received a call from Jackson.
"Gu Ye, isn't it about time you returned my little cat? I only gave your woman time to say goodbye because of you."
“Jackson, I’m warning you, you absolutely must not hurt Lanlan.” Gu Ye’s tone was cold.
"That depends on whether your woman knows what's good for her. If she obediently returns my kitten, I won't make things difficult for her out of respect for you. But if she tries to hide it, I can't say for sure."
Jackson's sarcastic voice came from the phone.
Upon hearing Jackson's words, Chu Xinglan and Shu Weiting were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ye walked over without expression.
“Jackson has found this place.”
"Gu Ye, I can't hand Tingting over to him." Chu Xinglan tugged at Gu Ye's sleeve, her face full of pleading.
"Forget it, Lanlan, don't beg him anymore. This may be my fate. Even if I die, I will not let that man hurt me."
Shu Weiting looked like she wanted to die together with the other party.
"Tingting, don't be impulsive." Chu Xinglan quickly pulled Shu Weiting back, and she looked at Gu Ye with pleading eyes again.
