The Disowned Young Lady Married a Homicide Detective - Chapter 10

“From now on, you and your little sister Yue will be together forever.”

Lin Zehui on the other end of the phone persisted: “I don’t believe you. Where are you? I’ll come to Ping An Apartment to find you. Let’s talk face to face, okay? Ningning, I saw the photos you posted on your WeChat Moments. You can buy this kind of thing online. You’re just trying to annoy me, aren’t you?”

Sang Ning angrily shouted into the phone, “Don’t bother coming to Ping An Apartment to find me. I never want to see you again in my life. We’re over, we’ve broken up! Lin Zehui, get as far away from me as possible and don’t get in my way again!”

Next, find the other person’s friend on WeChat and send a voice message:

“And tell your little lover to get lost. What is she? Does a prostitute really think she’s something special?”

“I said even scallions couldn’t mask the stench emanating from her.”

“I advise you to wash her with a three-piece set of cooking wine when you get back, especially her mouth.”

Seeing the words the other person was typing, Sang Ning rolled her eyes, swiped the screen, and blocked them all.

It’s just returning the bride price. It’s not like we don’t know where Lin Zehui’s family lives. We can just go there tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Sang Ning remembered the gold ornaments in Ping An Apartment; she still had to go back tonight.

That’s when she realized she was still in someone else’s house.

To show her shrewish side in front of Gu Yezhou.

Would Gu Yezhou think that she has a split personality?

“There are blankets in the closet. They should have been aired out a couple of days ago. They’re brand new and ready to use.”

Gu Yezhou glanced at the time on his phone. “It’s getting late. Get some rest.”

“Wait a minute.”

Sang Ning stammered, unable to bring herself to say that she wanted to go back to Ping An Apartment.

The other party has already made all the arrangements, what can she say?

Recalling what Lin Zehui had said on the phone, her expression turned solemn. “No, I have to go back to Ping An Apartment tonight. Lin Zehui said he’s coming to the apartment to find me.”

Gu Yezhou looked at her strangely. Did she still want to get back together with her ex?

Thinking of this, I quietly tightened my grip on my phone.

Now that they’re married, this woman belongs to him.

Gu Yezhou’s gaze toward Sang Ning turned dangerous. For a moment, Sang Ning felt that the choice she had made today was a grave mistake.

Marriage is not a game, but she insisted on following the plot of a short drama, picking up a guy on the street and getting married.

Sang Ning swallowed hard and calmly said, “Lin Zehui just said he was going to Ping An Apartment to find me.”

Gu Yezhou raised an eyebrow. “You think Lin Zehui’s real reason isn’t to find you, but rather to return to the scene?”

Sang Ning nodded, “It’s very likely. In the past, when we argued, Lin Zehui would indeed try to coax me, but he wouldn’t rush to find me so late at night, especially at Ping An Apartment. He would avoid coming if he could avoid it.”

Gu Yezhou realized from Sang Ning’s words that she still harbored suspicions about her ex. Since he was a suspect, he felt relieved.

Inside the elevator.

Gu Yezhou: “Since you’re going back, why don’t you bring all your clothes over later? It’ll be more convenient to change and wash them. I’ll set up the washing machine and dryer when we get back tonight. You’ll have to make do for the next few days, but at least it’ll be more convenient for getting to work.”

Sang Ning thought to herself: How could it not be convenient? I can get to work just by crossing the road, and I can sleep in for an extra half hour in the morning.

She couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

It was entirely because Gu Yezhou’s gaze inside the house was too terrifying.

She lowered her head, opened WeChat, and was so shocked by the message that she rubbed her eyes.

Hallucination?

So many unread messages, why isn’t my phone responding at all?

She received her marriage certificate in the afternoon, hurriedly posted it on her WeChat Moments, and hasn’t looked at her phone since.

A flood of well wishes appeared in the comments section, and the number of likes was overwhelming.

Sang Ning never realized when she had made so many friends.

Watching the interaction warmed my heart, and my nose started to sting with tears.

The most eye-catching message was from Professor Chen:

[You brat, you got married without even telling your old man!]

When are you having the wedding? The old man should sit at the head table; he’s practically family to you, isn’t he?

Professor Chen’s wife sent a message:

[Ah Ning, how can you not discuss such a big decision as getting married with your family?]

What is the man’s family background like? Are his parents good to you?

When will you come back?

Sang Ning replied to each message on her phone, and as she read the messages from Professor Chen and his wife, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Through teary eyes, a tissue was handed to me.

Sang Ning was surprised. A man carrying tissues with him?

She took it and thanked him.

When we arrived at Ping An Apartment, the surrounding streetlights were all out.

Sang Ning rarely goes home at this time. “When I went out yesterday, I didn’t notice how dark it was around me.”

Gu Yezhou: “I checked the surveillance footage on this roadside in the evening. It’s been in disrepair for years, and some of the lights must be broken. Also, this apartment is too dangerous. Apart from the surveillance camera installed at your own door, the entire apartment doesn’t even have the most basic safety facilities.”

Even if you’re looking for a cheap place, you should at least want a place with security cameras, right? It’s not safe for a girl like you to live in a place like this.”

Sang Ning got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and said defiantly, “I’ve studied martial arts. I can handle one or two people, as long as they’re not professionals like you.”

Gu Yezhou chuckled but said nothing.

The two of them kept their voices down as they went upstairs, because the apartment building was so quiet.

Apart from the snoring coming from the apartment next to the first floor, there were no other sounds.

When Sang Ning returned to room 203, she frowned and said, “Strange, Lin Zehui told me this about ten minutes ago, and he should have left long ago. Could it be that he was just saying it casually?”

Based on Sang Ning’s understanding of Lin Zehui, if this man wanted to come looking for her, he definitely would.

At least in some respects, Lin Zehui is still a man of his word.

“Maybe they’ve been here for a while,” Gu Yezhou said in a low voice, pointing to the ceiling.

Sang Ning asked疑惑地问道, “The third floor has never been rented out, what is he going to the third floor for?”

Gu Yezhou shook his head and made a shushing gesture.

He walked to the entrance and quickly turned off the light.

In an instant, the entire room was plunged into darkness.

Sang Ning sat on the sofa, her eyes wide open, but she still couldn’t adjust to the darkness.

I experienced this darkness for a full eighteen years.

Even when she sleeps, Sang Ning has the habit of leaving a small bedside lamp on. The iris that appears after she closes her eyes tells her that she can see.

She gripped the two sides of the sofa tightly until the other side sank in.

Gu Yezhou sat down beside her, gently enveloping her hand in his, and whispered, “I’m here.”

A moment later, Sang Ning heard light footsteps coming from the stairs next door.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to the room where Sang Ning was.
