Gu Yun Ting was satisfied. Ye Wan lowered her head and quickly finished the noodles left in her bowl. She hadn't eaten enough, so she drank all the soup and took her bowl into the kitchen to wash it.
Gu Yun Ting slowly ate the noodles in his bowl. He was also not full, at most five-tenths full.
"Ye Wan, come here, I have something to ask you." Gu Yun Ting called out to the girl who was about to return to her room.
Ye Wan walked back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"What's going on with the phone Lin Ze Han gave you?" Gu Yun Ting asked directly, no longer guessing.
"He said he guessed my phone was broken and couldn't reach me, so he bought me one and sent it over. I already had one, right? My classmate happened to want this phone, so she bought it from me. My classmate gave me money, and I didn't want to take advantage of him, so I transferred the phone money to him, but he didn't accept it," Ye Wan explained.
"So, you used the phone I gave you? Why didn't you use the one he gave you and sell mine to your classmate?" Gu Yun Ting asked, looking at her with deep eyes.
Ye Wan was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't think that much at the time."
The man's gaze deepened. Ye Wan felt uncomfortable under his stare and said, "My classmate was also unlucky. She bought a phone for over ten thousand, and after only half a day, it was snatched. When it was found, it was already smashed... My classmate was very sad..."
At this point, Ye Wan suddenly realized, why was she telling him this? He definitely didn't want to hear it.
Gu Yun Ting: "..."
He coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward, and said, "It's just a phone, if it's broken, it's broken. Just buy another one."
"To you, a phone is not valuable, but for a student, a phone worth over ten thousand is very precious." The more Ye Wan thought about it, the more distressed she felt, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Gu Yun Ting: "..."
He suddenly remembered what Sun Ma said when she brought her the phone that morning. She said it was enough to cover Ye Wan's wages for these years. He knew that Ye Wan had been working at the Gu residence all these years, and those people often made her do dirty and tiring work to torture her.
"I'll make up your wages for all these years." Gu Yun Ting knew she was short on money, but he didn't want her to work part-time anymore.
Ye Wan immediately shook her head, "No need. Consider it me repaying my debt. I just hope you can let me leave soon."
Hearing her answer, Gu Yun Ting's expression immediately darkened. "After all these years, have you always wanted to leave here?"
"Yes... I think about leaving all the time." Ye Wan didn't hide it. She felt like everyone knew.
Gu Yun Ting's face became even uglier. He suddenly swept the bowl in front of him to the ground. The porcelain hit the ground with a crisp sound, and a perfectly good bowl turned into fragments.
Ye Wan was startled by his sudden change in demeanor and retreated a few steps nervously, like a startled little rabbit. Gu Yun Ting's veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked at her with cold eyes, "Get out! Get out now!"
Ye Wan tried her best to calm herself down, then left without looking back. Once in her room, she locked the door, got into bed, and hid under the covers, trembling. Tears still fell uncontrollably. She thought that after ten years, she would be impervious to harm, but in reality, she still couldn't escape the fear of the past.
Sun Ma came out and was greatly startled by what she saw. Gu Yun Ting sat for a while, then got up, went upstairs to change his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and drove away.
