Gu Yan originally intended to go upstairs, but when she reached the stairway, her phone suddenly shut down due to low battery.
In the pitch-black darkness ahead, she didn’t see the steps in front of her and accidentally tripped, falling onto the stairs, her whole body hurting terribly.
After a moment, she tried to get up, just as she managed to lift herself from the stairs and was sitting down, resting with her hand on the ground, Tang Yuxiu’s voice suddenly came from the doorway; he was calling her.
She was about to answer him but he accidentally stepped on her hand, the pain was excruciating, one she never wanted to experience again in her life!
Tang Yuxiu hurriedly squatted down, wanting to check on her hand, but she forcefully shook him off.
Young Master Tang knew it was his fault, and didn’t get angry with her, awkwardly saying, "I just want to see your hand."
"Are you stupid? It’s a blackout, pitch-black, how can you see anything clearly!"
Young Master Tang, "..." He had a temper, a big one too, this girl keeps challenging his boundaries!
"Take out your phone to shed some light, my phone ran out of battery and shut down."
Tang Yuxiu silently took out his phone, today I was wrong, I will endure you for now, whatever you say goes.
Young Master Tang comforted himself silently, only this once, only this once!
Gu Yan took his phone and used it as a flashlight, looking at her hand, it was obviously red and swollen, moving it slightly felt particularly painful.
Because Tang Yuxiu was eager to find Gu Yan, he accidentally stepped down with all his strength in the dark, Gu Yan’s hand probably wouldn’t be able to do anything major for several days.
Gu Yan remembered the piano assessment a week later and couldn’t help but have a gloomy face, "It’s all your fault, what about my test in a week!"
"Whoever I bring in, who dares to expel you? What are you worried about?" Tang Yuxiu looked at the reddened swollen hand he stepped on, a trace of heartache flicked through his eyes, not easily noticed.
"It’s not even about being expelled or not! I want others to see my strength, to stop saying behind my back that I got in through favoritism."
She wanted to prove herself, that even without Tang Yuxiu’s endorsement, she was qualified to work at the Tang Family!
"Who dares to gossip behind your back, I’ll fire them!" Tang Yuxiu said fiercely.
Gu Yan shot him a glance, "With so many people in the company, can you shut all of their mouths? It’s true, and you still won’t let people talk about it, isn’t there a bit of freedom of speech?"
Young Master Tang, "..." He was clearly speaking to boost her morale, wasn’t he!
Talking about gossip behind her back, Gu Yan remembered the rumor she heard in the employee cafeteria.
Miss Nie is actually the general manager’s lover.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered it, every time she thought about it, it felt like a thorn in her heart, always faintly uncomfortable.
"Get up first." Tang Yuxiu said, cautiously lifting her injured hand and holding her waist to help her up.
Gu Yan suddenly shrank back, his hand froze in mid-air.
Gu Yan bit her lip, in that moment she didn’t miss the hint of disappointment in his eyes.
She immediately lowered her head, staring at her reddened hand, and whispered, "I’m just..." She couldn’t continue.
She just still had a shadow from last night’s events, unable to get over it for the moment.
But now, for them, it was the past they didn’t want to touch again.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes dimmed, he understood in his heart, he was the cause of all this, he couldn’t blame her.
