Tears fell down on the phone screen, then gradually smeared.
Xu Weilai lowered her hand dejectedly, and the phone fell out of her palm. She picked up the bottle again and drank it one mouthful at a time. In the end, she finally felt tipsy, and her consciousness slowly slipped away. Only then did Gu Yu disappear from her mind.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn outside. The rain that had been falling for almost the entire day yesterday finally stopped. The sky was blue, and the air was filled with a refreshing and earthy scent.
Xu Weilai got up and went back to the bedroom. She washed her face properly in the bathroom, then went out to the kitchen. She took out an ice pack and applied it to her eyes. After it wasn’t so sore anymore, she made a cup of coffee. This time, she didn’t add any milk, and drank the pure black coffee slowly to increase her alertness.
After she drank it, her mouth was full of the bitter taste. She forced a smile, but she felt relieved.
Actually, this time, it really wasn’t that difficult. After all, she had endured it all during her three years abroad. The second time, she could be considered to have gotten used to it.
No matter how excruciating the pain was anyway, time could heal it. If one year wasn’t enough, then two years… three years… she couldn’t believe that a lifetime was so long that she wouldn’t be able to let it go.
Xu Weilai spent a few hours cleaning the apartment and restored all the mess she had made to its original state. Only her empty wine cabinet was either all drunk by her or all emptied out by her.
However, since Gu Yu had made her so sad, this wine cabinet was his compensation to her.
After doing all this, Xu Weilai picked up her phone, found Assistant Lin’s wechat, and edited a message to send.
[ I have something to return to Gu Yu. I’m going to the company now. You can come down and retrieve it. ]
She found a paper bag, put in the three jewelry boxes and the black card, changed her clothes, carried her bag, and left the house.
Xu Weilai drove to the Gu Corporation’s building. Her car parked by the roadside. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. She carried the bag, but she didn’t go to the company door. She just stood by the roadside and waited.
After about two minutes, Assistant Lin walked out of the Gu Corporation’s building. He looked around and saw her. Only then did he rush over.
He stood still and said politely, “Miss Xu, if you wanted to return anything, I could’ve gone to retrieve it after work. Why did you have to go through so much trouble?”
“I’m moving out today. Before I leave, I want to settle this matter as soon as possible,” Xu Weilai said airily. At the same time, she handed the bag in her hand over. “These things are more valuable. Please pass them to Gu Yu for me.”
For a moment, Assistant Lin didn’t take the bag. He was completely shocked by her words. “Miss Xu, are you moving out? Or are you leaving today?”
“Yes.”
“Um…why so sudden? In reality, President Gu said that you can continue living in the apartment… ”
Before he could finish his words, Xu Weilai suddenly cut him off. There was a hint of ridicule in her indifferent tone. “What right do I have to continue living there?”
She didn’t even want Gu Yu’s alimony, so would she actually stay in his apartment?
Assistant Lin scratched his head.
In reality, he was just worried that if Xu Weilai returned to the Xu residence, with the way Xu Weilai’s parents behave, they wouldn’t say anything nice about it. Big Boss probably allowed her to continue living there out of consideration.
Assistant Lin opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to reply. He could only change the topic. “Then… then what are your plans for the future?”
