Chapter 56: A Second Late, All Dead
After saying what she had to say, she recklessly dragged Nangong Ran away.
Bo Chengyan watched their retreating backs. In the end, he didn’t say anything. He turned his head to look at Bo Chengxin, a hint of reproach in his eyes.
"Big Brother..." Bo Chengxin suddenly burst into tears, crying miserably, her frailness evoking pity.
"I know I was too radical just now, but I, but I..."
"Alright, it’s okay now." Bo Chengyan eventually sighed, squatted down, gently embraced her into his arms, and patted her back.
After Gu Qibao got in the car, she began to cry, unable to stop.
Nangong Ran pulled the car over to comfort her, but she grabbed his hand while sobbing, "Ranran, don’t mind me, keep going, take me away."
"Where do you want to go?" Nangong Ran silently started the car.
"Take me to a hotel, I don’t want to go home." Gu Qibao shook her head in pain, she just wanted to hide in a quiet place to have a good cry.
In Nangong Ran’s memory, the times Gu Qibao had cried could be counted on one hand.
And they can’t find a time when she cried like this.
"Do you want to go to Di Mingjue’s hotel?" Nangong Ran’s voice was a bit hoarse.
All the chain hotels in the city were owned by Di Mingjue.
"No," Gu Qibao choked out. "Don’t take me to a hotel, find me a small hostel instead."
This..." Nangong Ran hesitated, Gu Qibao had never stayed in such a place before.
But eventually, he didn’t argue with Gu Qibao and took her to a small hostel.
A room cost fifty yuan. Gu Qibao had never stayed in such a poor hostel before.
She hadn’t even seen one before, except for the bed, nothing was bearable to look at.
"Qibao, let’s switch places," suggested Nangong Ran.
"No need," Gu Qibao shook her head, flopped onto the bed, and immediately began to cry.
Nangong Ran, feeling frustrated, stomped around the room and finally said, "How about we have some people do something to Bo Chengxin tonight!"
"Don’t cause more trouble." Gu Qibao lifted her head, her eyes as red as a rabbit’s, "You should leave now. Let me be alone here. Once I finish crying, I’ll be fine."
Knowing that sometimes grief needs to be indulged, Nangong Ran didn’t argue further. He nodded and said, "Then, you take your time to calm down, I will come visit you later."
Nangong Ran left. She had shattered her phone, so she needed a new one.
And her heart was filled with guilt when she thought that she had caused all this mess.
Gu Qibao didn’t realize how long she had cried for, her eyes had swollen up to narrow slits, her voice raspy. The tears stung her eyes.
This situation was heartbreaking for her. It seemed like she could no longer go back to her past life - how could she not feel sad?
Her vision blurred and dry tears covered her face. It seemed as if even her face had swollen from crying.
Even though she didn’t want to cry anymore, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
Suddenly, the phone rang loudly, pulling her from her despair for a moment.
It was already dark outside. Her blurry eyes couldn’t make out the number on the phone, but she guessed it must be her mother calling at this hour.
She answered the phone with a hoarse voice, "Mom, I am not coming home for dinner today, and I might get home late tonight."
After that, she hung up and turned off the phone.
Right now, she didn’t want anyone to disturb her. Not a single one!
Di Mingjue, who had been hung up on, stroked his phone, his icy eyes releasing a cold chill.
It was already late, her voice was that hoarse, and she had a heavy nasal sound. What was she doing?
Unable to suppress his anger, he abruptly stood up. His tall figure exuded a chill. He dialed a number and ordered in a cold and ruthless tone, "Find Gu Qibao within 20 minutes. If you’re one second late, you’re all dead!"
