Chapter 422 Full of Expectations

A sudden vibration from her phone made Zhong Yu unsure of what was happening.
When Zhong Yu saw that it was a call from Gu Man, she was actually a little afraid. After all, the injuries on her body were a warning, a warning that she should keep her distance from Gu Man.
Why did Gu Man call at this time? It's so coincidental. If that person has already found Gu Man, Zhong Yu doesn't know how to make up for it...
If that person hasn't found Gu Man yet, and Gu Man calling herself is just a coincidence, then it's good. At least the worst hasn't happened yet. Honestly, if possible, Zhong Yu doesn't want to answer this call. He's really afraid that he will bring misfortune to Gu Man.
However, the phone kept ringing and ringing, and Zhong Yu didn't want to be a coward. If he didn't answer Gu Man's calls, she might misunderstand and think he didn't want to talk to her.
"How come you called back?"
Zhong Yu thought he spoke in a calm tone, but it was so quiet on the other end of the phone. Why wasn't Gu Man speaking?
"Are you..."
"Am I what? This question is so confusing, to be honest, but Zhong Yu still has a bit of expectation in his heart."
Zhong Yu is already imagining himself as a pitiful little kitten waiting for Gu Man to care for him.
"Has someone been arranged to monitor me at my home?"
With all his patience, Zhong Yu told himself not to be impatient, for happiness could wait a little longer.
However, Zhong Yu did not expect that she would hear Gu Man's questioning towards her.
She did do some excessive things before, but she did not think she would keep doing such despicable things. Why did Gu Man question her at this time?
这个时候自己那么脆弱。钟于紧紧捏着自己的手机，眼泪有一点忍不住了。
“我没有，我不知道你为什么会说这些？是你家里出什么事情了吗？”
Mingming's heart is bleeding, but Zhongyu still keeps calm, caring for and worrying about Gu Man, afraid that she might encounter some danger.
Gu Man lowered her voice and asked, "How could it be?"
"You say it's not you? How is that possible?!"
Zhongyu couldn't understand it. He had already retreated. He had already told Gu Man that it wasn't him, so why wouldn't Gu Man believe it?
In the face of such disbelief, Zhongyu did not understand what reason he had to persist.
"If you are convinced that I have tampered with it, then there is no need for you to call me. You already have your own answer, why ask me?"
Gu Man had some words she couldn't say. It seemed like she had already determined in her heart that it was Zhong Yu. Now she was only asking him to hear it from his own mouth.
It seems that Gu Man has already set up a situation where she is the victim.
But if what Zhong Yu said is true, then it is even more frightening. If it is not Zhong Yu, then who would want to monitor their life?
To be honest, Gu Man would rather it be Zhong Yu because at least Zhong Yu would not hurt her in any real sense.
So for a long time, Gu Man was in a state of confusion, trying to guess who that person could be.
Zhong Yu is even struggling with whether he said too much in his last sentence. He thinks he might have, otherwise why wouldn't Gu Man reply to him? But he didn't say anything wrong! Gu Man really doesn't believe in him anymore, so it's meaningless to call and confirm with himself at this point.
"If you really think it's me, then I can't do anything about it. Let's just assume it was me. But if you need my help, just let me know. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
After saying all of this, Zhong Yu had nothing else to say in his heart because he knew that someone who wasn't trusted didn't qualify.
Gu Man was also somewhat puzzled because she was really curious if there was anyone else besides Zhong Yu. But just as Gu Man was thinking about this, Zhong Yu was about to hang up, and she hadn't finished what she wanted to say!
"Can you wait for a moment?"
Zhong Yuyi was a little surprised. He didn't know what else Gu Man wanted to say. Was she going to confirm with him again and again?
Although Zhong Yuyi was absent-minded, he also saw someone outside and saw that Chen Ping was getting closer and closer to the car.
钟于赶紧摆着自己的手，生怕等一下陈平一靠近就乱说话暴露了，就算顾漫现在没有关心着自己，但是钟于还是希望不要让顾漫担心，自己能够承受的，就让自己一个人承受吧。
"Anything else?"
By now, Chen Ping was very close to the car and could hear what the boss was saying. The tone was so gentle, asking if there was anything else. Chen Ping smiled slightly, thinking it must be a woman that the boss likes.
So we have to maintain our image like this, we can't talk about being injured and losing face! Chen Ping also knows this.
And Chen Ping is a sensible person, he received the boss's instructions and stood there obediently.
"Just now, in my house, there was a little girl and I thought it was you. If it wasn't you, then I'm not safe here. Am I being followed?"
Gu Man was really afraid because she was thinking, if she's in danger, would Zhong Yu care about her? Would he come to help her solve the problem if he heard about it?
Compared with what Shen Yuzhi said and what he could do for her, Gu Man really thinks that Zhong Yu is more capable, so why not believe in Zhong Yu?
But Gu Man is waiting, and still hasn't received a reply from Zhong Yu. Does it mean that Zhong Yu doesn't want to talk to her anymore? Then why hasn't Zhong Yu replied to her even though she has said so much?
It must be like this. Only when one is not interested in oneself, can one be so indifferent, truly detached. Therefore, Gu Man felt a little uncomfortable, as if she didn't need to say anything anymore. Why is it like this?
Why did Zhong Yu change his attitude so quickly? How could Zhong Yu be so decisive and efficient, when he didn't have this attitude before? But so quickly, Zhong Yu changed completely.
But can't I give myself another chance?
Obviously, Gu Man is still unwilling in her heart, but she also knows that she doesn't have the qualification to be unwilling. After all, Zhong Yuzhi gave her a chance before, but she didn't take it, so now there is really nothing to say, it's all too late.
The reason why Zhong Yuzhi has not answered is because he is reflecting on his own identity.
If Gu Man doesn't need me but still wants me to help her, does that mean she only wants me to do things for her? Does this mean that I only have value when I am being used?
So for a long time, both of them were suspicious of each other, and there was no answer at all.
In the end, Zhong Yuzhi realized that she couldn't continue waiting like this. Otherwise, Gu Man would be embarrassed. Even if she was being used, she didn't want to make Gu Man feel too embarrassed. Otherwise, she might not even be able to wait for such a phone call in the future.
"Okay, no problem. If you feel uncomfortable, just let me know. I can solve it for you! Since you feel that your current place is not safe anymore, I will help you find a new place to stay. I will have someone contact you later, so don't be afraid right now."
When Gu Man heard Zhong Yu say "don't be afraid", she really felt that she didn't have to be afraid anymore. Zhong Yu can really bring people strength, so after hearing those words, Gu Man felt that nothing else mattered. She could even speak loudly without feeling embarrassed, even if Shen Yuzhi was listening nearby.
"Really? That's great! Thank you so much, Zhong Yu. Without you, I really wouldn't know what to do. My identity doesn't allow me to report to the police."
There are thousands of words to say, and there are many things to tell, because Zhong Yu is thinking that even if he helps Gu Man find a new place, Gu Man still needs to be careful. After all, it is unknown whether that person will come to Gu Man at his new place. Zhong Yu cannot guarantee it."
"Yes, I'll hang up now..."
Zhongyu looked at Chenping who was still waiting outside, knowing that he had been waiting for a long time, and his own call had lasted a long time. He also knew that Xiaowang, who was waiting on the phone, was probably anxious, so Zhongyu could only hang up first in order to not make more people worry. So he could only hang up the phone first.
Okay, Gu Man's voice really sounds like a little girl. I don't know if Zhong Yu cared about his answer at this point, because as soon as Gu Man finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He really hung up too fast.
"Help me up."
Chen Ping was still avoiding and dodging over there. In fact, he heard that Zhong Yu had hung up the phone, but he didn't dare to go over first because he knew that if he went over first, he would be exposed, exposing that he had heard those words.
So, all I can do is wait for the boss to call me over. Luckily, as soon as Zhongyu hung up the phone, he called out Chen Ping.
When helping Zhongyu up, Chen Ping also remained quiet, not daring to ask too many questions. The boss's presence was just too strong, so Chen Ping had no choice.
Because later on the phone, Gu Man didn't avoid Shen Yuzhi at all. It seems that she wanted Shen Yuzhi to know that she was talking to Zhong Yu, so Shen Yuzhi came over as well.
Watching as Gu Man hung up the phone, I asked her next to me.
"What just happened? Did you call Zhong Yu and did he admit to anything? Did he send someone to monitor you here?"
Although it was a caring question, Gu Man still felt uncomfortable listening to it. Why did she need someone else to question her like this? Besides, Zhong Yu was not a person who acted indecisively. It was precisely because she knew this that Gu Man said angrily.
"Do you think everyone is like you? Zhong definitely would have openly done what he wanted to do and there would be no need for him to sabotage things behind the scenes. Plus, he told me it wasn't him! So don't assume he's that bad, okay?"
Shen Yuzhi was a bit stunned, what's going on.
If Gu Man didn't suspect Zhong Yu, why did she call him? When she called, she clearly asked what happened to Zhong Yu, but why did she end up saying that she had been thinking too badly about everyone?
Shen Yuzhi was truly speechless and hurt. It turns out that no matter what effort he made when the scales were tipping, it was all in vain.
But there must be a result!
"Okay, if it's not him, then who could it be? I personally heard the words I said to you from that little girl's mouth, and it was in this room. So, who else could have sent her?"
Very annoyed, Gu Man couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. She was being questioned by Shen Yuzhi. Wasn't this situation something she definitely didn't want? But Shen Yuzhi was asking for an answer from her right now. How could she know? Maybe it was Shen Yuzhi who got it wrong?
"Please, how could I know if you question me like this now? And what if that little girl doesn't even exist? Maybe she's just a figment of your own poor mental state?"
Shen Yuzhi is truly speechless this time, what does this mean? Is he saying that he is mentally ill? Not only is there not a single reliable word coming out of his mouth, he is also imagining the appearance of characters?
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yuzhi really knew that person existed and had communicated with him, listening to Gu Man's confident tone, Shen Yuzhi would have thought he was hallucinating.
"I can swear that the person I saw was not a product of my imagination, so I'm not questioning you. I'm genuinely worried about you. If you feel that Zhong Yu is not a problem, that's good. But don't let your guard down because you don't know who the person hiding in the dark is."
It's hard to accept even though it's such a fair and reasonable statement.
Gu Man felt that everything was fine now because Zhong Yu had said that he would help her find a place to live. Since it's not safe here anymore, she will go to Zhong Yu's side and to a safe place. So what else is there to be afraid of?
The air was full of awkwardness, and the relationship was delicate. He didn't have any qualifications to be so enthusiastic about it, but he still paid attention. Shen Yuzhi also felt ridiculous, but he didn't know if he would have to leave after laughing. Even if it was to give Gu Man a chance?
Just as Shen Yuzhi was feeling anxious about whether he should leave or not, Gu Man spoke first.
"Okay, I can handle the rest myself, you can go now."
Originally had plans to leave, but didn't go because of worries. However, how could Shen Yuzhi not think that Gu Man was the one rushing to leave first?
Well, with someone like Zhong Yu, Gu Man naturally wouldn't feel like she's in danger. Even if it's something dangerous that Zhong Yu is doing, Gu Man can give Zhong Yu a million reasons. In this matter, Gu Man is like a clown.
Shen Yuzhi could have avoided feeling awkward, but since he was already in such a miserable state and Gu Man didn't seem to care about him, there was really no need for him to stay.
