Chapter 59: Trap

Yu Lian listened to Gu Chen’s words, opened her mouth, and said nothing. It was as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn’t make a sound. Gu Chen saw Yu Lian’s face full of worry and fear, and he felt uncomfortable too. “Okay, don’t think about it too much, if he really has a problem, we’ll eliminate the danger sooner.” Yu Lian didn’t say anything, she just silently nodded.

On the other side, You Jie was talking to Gu Ling, he had no idea. Ye Nan Yi told him not to tell Mrs. Gu, but his director told her anyway. “Brother You, what’s wrong with you, you keep changing the subject.” Gu Ling was also convinced, had she been stupid before? Why was she so obsessed with You Jie, was this what they meant by “love is blind”? You Jie still told Gu Ling about Ye Nan Yi’s plan to ask her out, and also told her about Gu Jing. He originally thought that Gu Ling was young and would be scared, but he was wrong. As soon as Gu Ling heard this, she felt excited! It was with Ye Nan Yi, she would definitely agree with both hands. “Great, tomorrow you’ll see my acting skills.” You Jie didn’t expect Gu Ling to be so enthusiastic, for a moment he didn’t know what expression to use.

“Hey, what’s that expression? Are you afraid I’ll mess things up? No wonder Sister Ye doesn’t like you, you deserve to be in love with someone who doesn’t love you back.” You Jie immediately refuted Gu Ling’s words, “You… you… don’t… talk nonsense.” Gu Ling rolled her eyes, a little disdainful, “You still say you don’t, stop stuttering.” You Jie gave up resisting, he could only beg Gu Ling. “Gu Ling, I beg you, we’ve known each other for so long, don’t tell Ye Zhiqing, okay?” Gu Ling stroked her hanging hair, absentmindedly, “Okay, I got it, you go! I need to rest well, I have a battle to fight tomorrow.” Then she made a gesture for You Jie to leave. You Jie stood outside the door of Gu Chen’s house, a little doubtful, could Gu Ling do this well?

 Unlike You Jie’s confusion, Ye Nan Yi disliked the bandage on her arm, she had a tough battle to fight tomorrow, it was too much of a hindrance. Thinking about this, Ye Nan Yi stepped into the bathroom she had specially built, and her injury was almost healed. If she wasn’t afraid of being considered a freak, her injury would have healed long ago.

After Ye Nan Yi put on her clothes, she rummaged through her space. She searched for a long time but couldn’t find any good self-defense weapons, and she was a little discouraged. She turned and saw the empty spray bottles she had stockpiled, and a good idea came to her mind. “Chili water.” Ye Nan Yi found all the chili peppers she had stockpiled. This was the extra spicy chili pepper that the merchant said. For the sake of her hand, Ye Nan Yi found some disposable gloves, crushed the chili peppers, and soaked them in water. This self-defense weapon was absolutely safe and inconspicuous. The next day, You Jie came to pick up Ye Nan Yi at the appointed time. “Ye Zhiqing, how are you going to do it?” Ye Nan Yi didn’t intend to hide it from You Jie.

“Since Gu Jing seems to care about Mrs. Gu so much, we can conspire with Gu Ling to ‘murder’ her, I don’t believe Gu Jing won’t react.” You Jie didn’t know what expression to use after hearing this plan. This was truly a cruel and heartless plan! If he heard someone trying to harm his wife, he would probably go crazy on the spot. “What are you thinking about? Give me your opinion!” You Jie swallowed, and agreed, “That’s good, I agree. But there’s one problem, you won’t be conspiring at home, right? That wouldn’t be convincing.” Ye Nan Yi didn’t answer the question, but smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out then.” Gu Ling kept looking out the door, and had already caught Gu Jing’s attention.

“Miss Gu Ling, why are you looking out the door so early in the morning, who are you waiting for?” Gu Ling saw Gu Jing, and thinking that he might be the one who kidnapped her, she almost swore. Thinking of Ye Nan Yi’s plan, she kept comforting herself.

“It’s nothing, Sister Ye is coming to visit today, shouldn’t I welcome her?” Gu Jing didn’t say anything, he just lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. “Sister Ye, you’re finally here.” As soon as Ye Nan Yi got out of the car, she was warmly embraced by Gu Ling. “I’m here, let’s go inside and talk!” Gu Ling  pulled Ye Nan Yi to her room. You Jie got out of the car and saw Gu Jing there, he greeted him and went to find Gu Chen. “Director, Ye Zhiqing and I have made a plan, she and Gu Ling will conspire to ‘murder’ Madam, we’ll see if Gu Jing will react.” Gu Chen nodded in agreement, he was thinking about whether to tell Yu Lian

. “You Jie, do you think we should tell Madam, I’m afraid Ling’er will overdo it and she’ll be heartbroken.” You Jie quickly stopped him, “Don’t tell her, otherwise Madam won’t be heartbroken enough, if Gu Jing sees through it, it will be a lot of trouble.” Gu Chen took a deep breath, then nodded in agreement. In the room, Gu Ling was listening to Ye Nan Yi’s arrangement. “Sister Ye, how can I make Aunt really angry?” Ye Nan Yi thought about how Gu Ling was raised by Mrs. Gu, and treated like her own child, she loved her very much. “You do this…”

Gu Ling felt a little reluctant after hearing this, but there was no way, if Gu Jing really had those thoughts, they would all be in danger, if he was really a human trafficker, then there would be no one safe around. “Okay! When Aunt comes, I’ll start contradicting her, and I’ll organize my words.” Ye Nan Yi trusted Gu Ling very much, the first time she heard her speak, she discovered that she had a strong desire to perform. “Knock knock knock” A knock on the door came, Gu Ling opened the door and saw that it was her aunt, sending her some nourishing soup. “Aunt, why are you here?” Yu Lian smiled, “Look at you, you’ve suffered so much, you have to make up for it.”

 Gu Ling first said softly, “Aunt, I’m sorry.” Then she started acting. “Aunt, I told you, I don’t want to drink, why do you always make things difficult for me?” Yu Lian didn’t react for a moment, she didn’t understand why Gu Ling’s temperament had changed so much. “Ling’er, what’s wrong with you? Why are you getting angry? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Gu Ling was about to say something, but she saw the corner of Gu Jing’s clothes out of the corner of her eye. Then she hardened her heart and smashed the soup on the ground.

“I’m not uncomfortable, why do you always control me, I want to go out but you don’t let me, I don’t want to drink soup but I can’t? You say it’s for my own good, you treat me like your own daughter, but you’re forcing me to do things I don’t like, forcing me to eat things I don’t like.” Yu Lian didn’t expect that her beloved child would think this way, and she was instantly in tears. Gu Jing, who was still outside, immediately entered the room. “Madam, don’t be sad, she’s not worth it.” Yu Lian didn’t say anything, she just silently shed tears.
