Ye Wan's heart almost stopped from fright. The driver quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. The bodyguard saw this and immediately got out of the car, opened the rear door, and dragged the stunned girl out.
The car drove away, leaving Ye Wan on the side of the road.
Gu Yunting's fists clenched, his knuckles cracking. With his last punch, he hit the car window. The bulletproof glass shattered under his force, forming a bloody web.
...
Standing on the roadside, Ye Wan sighed helplessly. She looked around. There wasn't even a bus on this road, so she had to walk to the city.
Finally, she reached a bus stop and managed to get on a school bus heading to the city. Jin Lan called, asking her to come to the hospital as her throat stitches needed to be removed.
Ye Wan first transferred to the hospital for the stitch removal. Jin Lan personally removed them and frowned as he looked at her wound, "Did your wound get wet?"
"Oh, it got sweat on it." Ye Wan had been forced to do something at the time, and sweat had dripped onto the wound.
Jin Lan was speechless, "Do you want a scar? The wound must be kept dry! It can't even touch water! I'm really impressed with you. Apply plenty of scar cream from now on and don't be lazy anymore."
"Got it." Ye Wan was also helpless. She sat up and looked in the mirror. The wound indeed looked unpleasant, red, and clashed with her fair neck.
"Haven't you and Brother Ting made up yet?" Jin Lan called Gu Yunting. The way he spoke, word by word, clearly indicated he was still very angry.
Ye Wan pursed her lips, "He refuses to see me now, and he gets angry even if he sees me."
Jin Lan packed his things and said, "Then you should just try to appease him."
"I tried. I made him a bowl of noodles this morning, and he threw it out. He also threw me out of the car." Ye Wan was at her wit's end.
Jin Lan, "?"
This didn't make sense. Logically, as long as Ye Wan made an effort, Gu Yunting's temper would calm down. It was impossible for the situation Ye Wan described to happen, unless she had done something else to make him angry.
"Tell me in detail what happened this morning, without any omissions." Jin Lan decided to help her analyze it.
Ye Wan recounted everything she had done that day. Jin Lan was speechless listening to it. He felt sorry for Gu Yunting for a minute. Gu Yunting was already angry, and he thought this girl had realized her mistake and went to apologize, only to find out she was there for Sun Ma's housekeeper position.
Jin Lan thought Gu Yunting had become more tolerant, his temper really good, to not have strangled her on the spot.
"So, do you think you were wrong?" Jin Lan asked.
"Are you talking about his birthday? I really didn't know he misunderstood that the gift was for him. Think about it, anything he has around him easily costs tens of thousands. How could I afford to buy him a gift?" Ye Wan felt truly wronged.
"How can you judge a gift by its value? The most important thing when giving a gift is the thought behind it. Even if you say you don't have money for an expensive gift, you could at least make him a bowl of longevity noodles, right? Did you think of making him one?" Jin Lan questioned.
Ye Wan, "..."
She really hadn't thought of it.
She felt that Gu Yunting had everything, and the gifts he received were all valuable and good things. She felt she didn't deserve to give him a gift.
"That was his birthday, the day that should have been the happiest of the year, and you ruined it. Do you think he shouldn't be angry?"
Ye Wan, "..."
Why did this responsibility have to be placed on her?
Although she felt his anger was somewhat inexplicable and she still couldn't quite understand it, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt after Jin Lan's words.
