Chapter 40: Unknown Number

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In order to prevent Xie Ru from feeling bored at home, Gu Liao sent someone to set up some uncultivated land behind the villa for Xie Ru to pass time.

As for that message, it had been thrown to the back of Xie Ru’s mind. She had waited for fifteen years. So what were a few short days to her?

“What’s wrong with my big brother? You can’t see with one eye so what kind of work would you do? In the end, I’m the one who has to help. How annoying.”

Gu Zhe said that he was annoyed, but his hands did not stop gardening. Xie Ru just noticed that the Gu family usually said that she could not see with one eye, while the people from the Xie family just outright said that she was blind.

The difference was not big, but it still touched her heart.

At this moment, Xie Ru’s phone vibrated a few times. She thought it was a text message from Joseph, so she did not pay much attention to it. She was distracted by a figure who suddenly barged in.

This person was wearing a simple white shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of white casual shoes. It was as if the spring breeze just came in, and she couldn’t take her eyes off him for a moment.

“Little Ru, long time no see.”

Xie Ru nodded in confusion. Before she could react, she saw Gu Zhe yelling.

“Brother, what are you doing here while my brother is at the company all alone? You’re taking the company’s salary and not doing anything practical. Uncle Gu will definitely scold you if he finds out.”

“Your brother can handle things alone just fine. It’s quieter here.”

“Isn’t it? This is a good place to recuperate. My brother found a good place, and now with you, the villa will be very lively.”

“What are you guys doing?” This person changed the topic.

Xie Ru had a feeling that this person did not want to talk too much about family matters.

“Planting flowers.” Gu Zhe suddenly raised his head and asked, “Brother, don’t you know Sister-in-Law? Let me introduce her to you.”

“I do know her.”

Gu Zhe looked at Xie Ru and then at Brother. He scratched his head. Why didn’t he know that the two of them had met before?

“Gu Zhe, who is it?”

“I’m Gu Xuan, Little Ru. We’ve met before.”

Xie Ru was also confused. This was definitely the first time she had met this person, but she did feel that he was somewhat familiar. Still, she could not remember.

Xie Ru suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head like a needle. Then she saw a little girl holding a doll and handing it to her. The little girl was crying and not far away, a boy in a suit looked at them helplessly.

“Gu Xuan.”

When she woke up again, Xie Ru was already in bed. Gu Liao was next to her looking worried.

“Don’t interact with Gu Xuan anymore.”

“Huh?” Xie Ru was full of questions. What kind of crazy person was he? Why did he suddenly say such a thing?

“Sister-in-Law, I can’t blame my brother for saying this. Look at you. My brother rushed back from the company when you fainted. And when you’re unconscious, you still called Gu Xuan’s name over and over again. Wasn’t that the first time you two have met?”

“Really?”

Xie Ru looked at Gu Liao awkwardly. Was he jealous?

“Have a good rest. Something has come up at the company.”

“Okay.”

Xie Ru stayed in the room alone. When she looked at the phone, she was stunned.

She saw a message on her phone from an unknown number that read: ‘I’m Tang Yanran. Little Ru, I think you’ll want to meet me. I have a letter in my hand. It’s from your father. I’ll wait for you at Sanyuan..’
