Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1135: Your Secret Has Been Exposed (9)
Zhao Mengjin and Ou Yanan didn’t object. As it was, they needed to discuss this unexpected situation.
The two of them walked outside the hotel, and as soon as they reached the parking lot, they started arguing.
"Say something! Are you mute?" Zhao Mengjin lost her temper at the poker face in front of her.
"What do you want me to say?" Ou Yanan replied, "If you want me to say I won’t marry you, that’s impossible."
"What?" Zhao Mengjin felt it was unbelievable, pointing her finger at his chest. "What did you say to me last time? You said yourself that you don’t have feelings for me at all, that it was all an act, an act! Now that it’s come to this, what are you going to do? Get engaged, get married, have kids? I’m telling you, don’t dream on, I won’t go along with it!"
Ou Yanan’s expression was cold, but he insisted on one principle: "If you want to refuse, don’t refuse it to my face."
Because it was between that person and this woman, it had nothing to do with him.
Whether to marry or not, it was up to that person to decide, not him. This marriage was arranged by the elders of the Ou Family, it wasn’t what he, Ou Yanan, wanted. He could only assist that guy up to this point.
Zhao Mengjin naturally couldn’t understand his words or tone, only feeling that he had something wrong with his head, like he was mentally ill.
"I’m going back, I won’t go for a drive with you." Zhao Mengjin said in frustration, she ultimately had to figure it out herself.
"I’ll take you." Ou Yanan insisted.
Zhao Mengjin looked back, "Don’t worry, I’m an adult, going back is not a problem."
"No—"
At this point, Zhao Mengjin understood, he wanted to see Gu Nuan. For this reason, she couldn’t help but sigh, "I don’t care what kind of relationship you and my aunt have, you’d better restrain yourself, my uncle gets very jealous."
Ou Yanan’s expression remained as cold as frost.
Zhao Mengjin was at a loss for words toward his poker face. Just then, she needed to pick up something she left at Gu Nuan’s place.
At home, her husband went to work on her behalf, and Gu Nuan prepared to go to bed early.
When the phone rang, seeing no one in the room, she went over to answer it.
Upon looking, it was actually a call from Sister Cai, whose number she had saved.
Sister Cai? According to Xiaoliu, he had seen Sister Cai before, and Sister Cai had helped him out. Xiaoliu’s intention was clear, to get Sister Cai involved.
Gu Nuan has a clear attitude toward everything. Sister Cai was said to be narrow-minded, but she certainly didn’t have the courage to do bad things, far less vengeful than Xiaoliu. After all, Sister Cai had a family to consider, especially when it came to illegal acts.
Why was Sister Cai calling her now? To make peace?
Gu Nuan’s mind raced before answering the call.
On the other end, Sister Cai’s voice came through intermittently, "Gu Nuan, I know you can hear me, I guess you can hear me. If you can’t hear me, I’m done for, done for. You have to hear me, come save me, come save me—"
Gu Nuan squinted her eyes.
"Guess where I am? I’m near your hometown. I followed someone, that person said something to your dad, and following him, I found out he’s no good—"
Her dad? Did something happen with Dad back home? No wonder she mentioned it to Mom before.
Gu Nuan’s lips were just about to part.
Suddenly, Sister Cai’s voice turned panicked and out of control: "Oh no, they’re coming after me, they’re coming after me, they’re going to run me over, force me to death, Gu Nuan save me—"
Bang—
The phone disconnected with a crack, but it was easy to imagine the scene of a car collision and wreckage on the other end.
Gu Nuan’s fingers clenched tightly, grasping her phone.
Downstairs, Xiao Yebai yawned with his hand over his mouth as he watched the person entering with the steward.
"Second brother." Zang Xiaolian stood in front of him, smiling, "I’m back."
"Mm." Xiao Yebai looked at his face, "You’ve tanned quite a bit. Didn’t you say you were going to live it up with our eldest brother? How did you get so tanned?"
Zang Xiaolian touched his face. "Is my skin dark? Maybe because of diving."
"Why were you diving?" Xiao Yebai asked.
"Big brother hired a submarine to search for clues in deep water to find fifth brother." Zang Xiaolian explained seriously.
Xiao Yebai listened, seemingly unfazed, and replied, "Big brother always goes big. Since he needs you, why did you come back?"
"Because sixth brother told big brother that a lot has happened here with second brother, and it’s not safe. Big brother told me to come back quickly to help you.—Is sister-in-law doing well?" As he spoke, Zang Xiaolian glanced upstairs, as if looking for a glimpse of Gu Nuan.
"Your sister-in-law is here, but she should be asleep." Xiao Yebai said, "You can see her tomorrow."
"Okay." Zang Xiaolian chuckled, "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen sister-in-law, I’ve really missed her."
Steward Xiao approached them, saying, "Mr. Zhang’s guest room is all prepared."
The commotion downstairs faintly reached Gu Nuan.
Zang Xiaolian was back.
What Gu Nuan thought of was to call Dad’s cell phone.
Sister Cai’s phone was surely unreachable now.
What about Dad?
Dad’s phone was turned off.
Gu Nuan was taken aback.
