Chapter 7: Homelessness
Ye Lin felt that she might have had a delusion, so she asked incredulously, "What do you say?"
Gu Yanshen sat upright on the chair, his posture was upright, his face was heavy, and he repeated patiently: "I said you, Ye Lin, marry me and be my wife." ”
Ye Lin opened her eyes wide and looked at the extraordinary man in front of her, and for a moment there was only shock left in her heart.
In comparison, Gu Yanshen was much calmer, as if he was talking about a transaction that was no longer insignificant, and the words he said were calm without any fluctuations.
"You should be well aware of my position in City A, just your best and only option at the moment. Ye Lin, as long as you marry me, I will be your backing, no matter who it is, as long as you want, you can easily trample him under your feet. And no one but me can help you with this. ”
Ye Lin's heart set off a huge wave, it was the first time she looked at the man in front of her so squarely, and suddenly found that her understanding of him could be almost zero.
Gu Yanshen was obviously sitting in a place where she could reach as soon as she stretched out her hand, but it was far away, as if hidden in a cloud of fog that people couldn't see clearly.
What kind of man can be so indifferent to his marriage and talk about marriage with a woman who has only met a few times.
If she is still the adopted daughter of the Chu family at the beginning, and she is still the most powerful heir of the Chu family in the eyes of the outside world, then Gu Yanshen's marriage proposal may be more reasonable.
But here's the problem......
"Mr. Gu, do you know who you're talking to? Not only do I have no Chu family as a backing now, but I am also equivalent to being abandoned by the entire A City, and marrying me back is equivalent to marrying countless troubles. ”
Gu Yanshen nodded calmly, "I know." ”
"Then why do you still do this, everyone is a businessman, everyone knows that there is no free lunch in the world, what do you want?"
As he said, he has nothing left to repay him, so Ye Lin really can't think of how much benefit he can give Gu Yanshen by helping him, so that he will not hesitate to give up the position of the young grandmother of the Gu family.
Ye Lin looked straight into Gu Yanshen's eyes solemnly, wanting to see something from them.
But he was disappointed, Gu Yanshen's eyes were like a pool of unfathomable spring water, and Ye Lin couldn't see through what he was thinking at all.
"That's my business, you don't have to worry about this. Gu Yanshen's upper body leaned forward slightly, leaning against the ground Ye Lin closer, and the familiar faint pine aroma enveloped her again, and there was no way to avoid it.
"Ye Lin, you just need to answer me. ”
Ye Lin unconsciously grabbed the sheets under her, and some fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
It is undeniable that the choice given by Gu Yanshen is too tempting, not to mention that with his strength, he can help himself avenge without any effort, just marrying her, and Mrs. Gu's identity alone is enough for him to regain a foothold in City A and fight a beautiful turnaround.
"Thank you Mr. Gu for your kindness, no need. ”
Ye Lin said in a soft but firm voice.
Even though she promised Gu Yanshen so many benefits, Ye Lin still couldn't suppress her fear, a kind of worry about an unknowable future.
Gu Yanshen is too dangerous, it is salvation and poison.
It seemed that Ye Lin had long expected that she would refuse, and Gu Yanshen's expression was still faint and could not see joy and anger.
He stood up slowly, put his slender fingers on the buttons of his blazer, and said in a deep voice while buttoning them: "Don't make a choice in a hurry yet, I'll give you time to think about it." ”
He walked out with his feet up, and when he reached the door, he paused and turned his head.
Ye Lin's thin body is much thinner than when they first met, her chin is more pointed, and her small lip flaps are bloodless, which is similar to Ye Lin, who was high-spirited when she stood at the negotiation table.
Gu Yanshen's eyes flashed with a certain emotion, so fast that Ye Lin thought that she was dazzled, and by the time she tried to refine it again, it had completely disappeared.
"Your body is still very weak, the doctor told you to recuperate, you can live in this ward with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about anything else. ”
He walked away after speaking, neatly and decisively, completely in the style of a man in charge of a business empire.
The doubts in Ye Lin's heart were even worse, such a person should be absolutely calm and even cold-blooded, and it was impossible to do anything meaningless.
So what can he use for him?
Ye Lin couldn't figure it out, she always didn't like to waste more time in the face of problems that she couldn't figure out, so after making sure that Gu Yanshen was going away, she immediately changed out of her hospital gown and left the hospital.
Since it was finally decided that there would be no cooperation, there was no need to break the thread now.
A person wanders the streets of City A like a lonely ghost, and Ye Lin really understands what it is like to be homeless.
The sky was getting dark, and the neon lights on the streets were lit up one after another, but there was no place in the huge city where Ye Lin could stay.
She was penniless, all her bank cards had been frozen, and she couldn't even go back to her previous hotel.
Faced with a drunken middle-aged man staggering over with a big belly, Ye Lin hugged her arms tightly and pressed against the side of the path in the hope of avoiding it.
There are only dim street lamps in the dark alleys, but Ye Lin's fair and beautiful face can still be seen at a glance.
"Yo, little sister, I'm alone so late, why don't my brother take you to play." ”
The man smiled lewdly and stretched out his greasy palm and grabbed Ye Lin's arm firmly.
"Let go!" Ye Lin shouted angrily.
However, there was a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and Ye Lin had just recovered from a long illness, so she didn't have any strength to resist in her body.
There was a stabbing sound, and the sound of clothes being torn suddenly sounded, and Ye Lin's white shoulders were exposed in the air like this, which aroused the man's desire even more.
It is said that in times of despair, people's greatest potential will be aroused, and Ye Lin didn't know where she got the strength, so she raised her legs and bent her knees and slammed into the man's underneath.
Ye Lin grabbed the gap where the man fell to the ground and shouted in pain, and ran out of this dark alley desperately.
It wasn't until the crowded main street that Ye Lin dared to stop and gasp for breath, and the alley not far behind her was like a beast that opened its bloody mouth at her in the dark night.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were ragged, her heart seemed to jump out of her chest, and the fine cold sweat on her forehead directly wet the broken hair on her forehead.
A Cayenne stopped beside her silently, and Ye Lin recognized it at a glance, it was Chu Hengcheng's car.
The co-pilot's glass slowly lowered, revealing a bewitching and delicate face.
Chen Ruoyun showed a vicious smile.
