Chapter 40: Waiting for Me to Beg You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Yuwei did not meet Gu Juexi until the day she was discharged from the hospital. The day she was discharged, she was told by the doctor to pay the bill of more than ten thousand dollars.
Ye Yuwei stood at the cas.h.i.+er, the lobby was abuzz with muted chatters. Just as she raised her head, Gu Juexi who was not around for quite some time came into sight.
Regaining his demeanor, he was still the same as he was a few days ago. His lips curved into a sneer for he enjoyed seeing her caught in such an awkward predicament.
Ye Yuwei nearly broke into laughter. ‘Childis.h.!.+’
She had nothing with her—no phone, wallet, money, and not even a person to turn to. Naturally, he knew this. He was waiting for Ye Yuwei to beg him.
“Mrs. Gu, would you like to pay by card or cash? Could you be a little faster?” The nurse at the cas.h.i.+er was growing impatient. Ye Yuwei hugged herself. She had none of these. She did not have money with her and no one would help her.
“Sorry, can I make a call to my friend?” Ye Yuwei asked softly.
“Hurry up.” The nurse threw her an annoyed look and continue working.
The security guard followed Ye Yuwei closely when she left the cas.h.i.+er, afraid that she would just walk away without paying.
The feeling of being monitored was painful. Gu Juexi was truly a master in this matter. He was good at torturing a person. He did not care about other’s feelings. How cruel.
Sitting rested at the lobby, Ye Yuwei took a peep at the security guard and quickly lowered her head.
“This woman is just too shameless. I heard that she has even seduced Lu Qichuan. Lu Qichuan scolded the paparazzi for her. How shameless!”
“Now that she is thrown out of her house. Serves her right!”
“Pfft…She can’t even pay the fee. Such a pathetic person.” There was no sense of sympathy in their words, but rather, disgust.
Lowering her head, Ye Yuwei listened to the mocking chatters around her, caressing her broken palm. Suddenly, a shadow came into sight. Gu Juexi stood proudly before her.
“Ye Yuwei, do you understand now? You are nothing without me.” Gu Juexi looked at her awkward situation with satisfaction, waiting for her to beg him.
Ye Yuwei looked at his smug expression, she suddenly felt the pain on her palm as blood oozed from the wound. She got up, raised her head and looked into the eyes of the man who stood before her.
“Are you waiting for me to beg you?” Ye Yuwei pushed him away and stared at the security guard.
“Are you not waiting for my payment? Let’s go, I will take the money for you.” The security guard was slightly stunned and hurriedly followed Ye Yuwei.
Not knowing what she was after, Gu Juexi furrowed his brow.
“Isn’t that Gu Juexi? Why is he here?” In a small, not very well established clinic, located not far from the hospital, Ye Yuwei skillfully filled out the form and went straight to the reception window. This was not the first time Ye Yuwei visited the clinic.
Gu Juexi knew her intention once he stepped into the clinic. Looking at her arm going through the reception window, a wave of anger engulfed him.
