She subjectively thought that he was probably still asleep because the medicine he took last night had a calming effect. Jing Yu was worried that knocking on the door would wake him up, so she simply turned the doorknob and tentatively opened the door a crack.
The people inside are all cautious people.
The door was pushed open a crack when the noise from inside stopped abruptly. Everyone looked towards the door.
Jing Yu realized something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw that Yu Zeyao was not only awake, but also staring at him with a gloomy face as he just poked his head in. Moreover, he was not the only one in the room, there were also Zhuang Yan and another middle-aged man.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Zeyao shouted, his expression cold and chilling. "Who are you? Is this the place you can come to?"
It was as if she had made a huge mistake. Every word she said contained humiliation, as if she had no self-awareness.
Jing Yu was stunned by his yelling, and stood there for a while, confused for a moment. The next moment, he felt chest tightness and anger. She didn't knock on the door because she was afraid of disturbing him. Why did he say such harsh words to her
"I don't want to go in either." Jing Yu was a little annoyed and turned to leave.
But before the door was closed again, another voice with an amused smile sounded behind her, "She's here, why are you scolding her away? Let her in and let uncle take a good look at her. Is she the girl you like?"
"Uncle, I have so many women I like. If I bring them all to you to see, I'm afraid my room wouldn't be able to accommodate them all." Yu Zeyao said this in a frivolous and cynical tone.
Jing Yu understood every word.
Yu Wenhua didn't believe it. "It's ok for you to cheat others, but how can you cheat me, your uncle? When have you ever brought anyone back?"
"Uncle, things are different now. I'm about to take office. If I continue to play with women outside like in the past, wouldn't it be a waste of time to cause a scandal?"
"Haha, that's right. I said my nephew is not a stupid person. The daughter of the Mo family is devoted to you, you must not let her down. As for this woman outside, you can just play with her. A phoenix is a phoenix, and a pheasant is a pheasant. You know which is more important. You are not a person without sense of propriety."
The door was closed.
Jing Yu didn't listen any more and returned to the room where he slept last night.
She quickly changed her clothes, picked up her bag, stood up and walked out of her room.
She didn't even pause as she passed the tightly closed door, but she felt a lump in her chest, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She walked down quickly and went straight to the door without saying a word. Seeing her like this, the housekeeper guessed that she was leaving, so he caught up with her and asked, "Miss Jing, are you leaving now?"
"Um."
"But, sir, you can't leave here for the time being without her permission."
She was a free person, so why did she need his permission to leave or stay? Was he really starting to treat her as a plaything
Jing Yu was somewhat annoyed that he was frightened by his few words last night and stayed here, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered that humiliation like a slap in the face this morning.
But those words, like a slap in the face, came just in time; at least, they woke her up.
"I don't need his permission, and I don't need you to send me out. I can go out by myself." Jing Yu replied to the butler with an expressionless face.
She changed into shoes, put on thin clothes, and walked out of the manor quickly. The cold wind blew, and it was bone-chilling, but she just gritted her teeth and endured it, without pausing for a single step.
He took out his cell phone and called Qi Jinnian.
Qi Jinnian is at work right now. Jing Yu asks for help, "Niannian, can you take a leave?"
"What's wrong? Your voice is shaking. Are you freezing outside?"
"Yes. Can you drive over to pick me up? There are no cars within a few kilometers of my place."
"Where have you been kidnapped?" Qi Jinnian was worried. "Send me the address and I'll pick you up now."
Jingyu gave her the location and asked her to drive along this road. It was so cold, and she couldn't wait there, so she just walked along.
——
Yu Wenhua had something else to do, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye. Yu Zeyao ordered Zhuang Yan to see him out and asked someone to call the housekeeper up.
Before the housekeeper came in, he had been looking out. Because of the IV drip hanging on his arm, his movements were restricted. He tried once, lost his patience, and pulled out the needle. He looked out the window, but there was no one on the road.
Could it be that she didn't actually leave
"Sir." At this moment, the butler pushed the door open.
Yu Zeyao retracted his gaze, straightened his face, and returned to his usual serious and cold appearance.
"Where is she?"
"Are you asking Miss Jing?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Miss Jing has been gone for quite a while."
It's not surprising. That's just her personality.
"Let the driver escort her back." Yu Zeyao said.
"Miss Jing said she wanted to walk back by herself and didn't want us to escort her."
"She said she wanted to go, so you let her go? It's so cold, she might have frozen to death on the road before she could even walk back. Let the driver go." After giving the order, Yu Zeyao glanced at her coat that was still placed beside his bed.
———
Jingyu kept walking forward. She hugged herself tightly with her arms, but her face was still red from the cold.
The cell phone rang at this moment.
She took it out and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number that she had not saved. She was worried that it was a patient, so she answered it without thinking too much.
"Wait on the roadside. I've sent a driver over." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jing Yu felt the urge to hang up immediately because of the tightness in her chest, but she resisted the urge and replied coldly: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, but don't bother me. I can go by myself."
"Why are you leaving? It's cold outside, don't be willful."
"Mr. Yu, your car is too luxurious and not suitable for me. You should leave it to Fenghuang. Who am I?" She really couldn't speak to him in a nice tone.
Yu Zeyao sighed over there, "Are you angry?"
“Not really.”
"Don't take those words seriously. As for the so-called daughter of the Mo family..."
"Those words made me angry, but I won't take them to heart." Jing Yu interrupted him. Her tone suddenly calmed down, but it was so calm that Yu Zeyao frowned even more tightly. "Mr. Yu, we are really just two strangers. There is no need for me to get angry over two words from a stranger. I hope to be able to talk it out with you."
Yu Zeyao's breathing became heavier. "Stranger?"
He snorted, "Do you have a habit of kissing strangers?"
Jing Yu took a deep breath and said, "I will be self-disciplined in the future, and I ask you to respect yourself at the same time."
After a slight pause, he added: "There won't be a next time."
