Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 47 - : She Sneaked a Glance at Tyrant Gu

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: She Sneaked a Glance at Tyrant Gu

The driver finished speaking, then noticed that there were several other people around Ming Yao.

Ming Yao was holding a refined and beautiful cat in her arms.

He began to wonder to himself.

Was this girl short of money or not?

The cat in her arms, as well as the man a few steps in front of her, both obviously came from wealthy families.

Before the driver could speak again, Ming Yao beat him to it, “I’m sorry, I really made a wrong transfer.”

She took out her phone, scanned a QR code, and had the driver refund her the money.

Not wanting to reveal her persona, she had to play along with what the driver said.

After the driver scanned the code, he earnestly said, “Young lady, don’t go near Mount Wan Chong late at night anymore. I just happened to pass by there tonight, which is how you were able to hail my cab. Usually, it’s very hard to find a ride there late at night.”

Ming Yao, “……” Master, can you talk less?

“Alright, I will pay attention next time.” Ming Yao gave the driver a look, signaling him to leave quickly.

The driver didn’t understand, but he was in a hurry to complete more rides, so he didn’t say much more and left quickly.

After the driver left, the atmosphere in the air subtly changed.

Gu Siting sized up Ming Yao with a deep, dark gaze, as if he wanted to see through her soul.

Ming Yao felt her scalp tingle under his stare.

“Fourth Master, do you have something you want to ask?” Her voice trembled, as if she was extremely afraid of him.

Gu Siting walked over to her, took Little Snowball from her arms, and held it close to his chest.

Little Snowball protested with a few meows, but Gu Siting didn’t pay attention, pressing its head against his chest.

Gu Siting continued to stare at Ming Yao, and even without speaking, the authority and pressure emanating from him were chilling.

“Weren’t you looking for a job? You ended up in the suburbs?”

The man’s gaze was sharp, seemingly seeing right through her thoughts.

Ming Yao had never felt so cornered before.

True to the nickname Tyrant Gu, she felt a tension and panic as if she was about to be sentenced at any moment.

Speak more and err more; Ming Yao took a deep breath, and with a trembling voice, she said, “Actually, I lied…”

As Ming Yao spoke, the air temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Steward Zhong and Aunt Zhong both looked at Ming Yao with surprise.

Ming Yao’s voice was slightly choked up, “I was fired this morning. I was very upset at the time. I live honestly; how did I become a little maid accused of climbing into someone’s bed?”

“I’m timid and fearful, and I’m worried that if this gets out, I will never be able to find a job again. In a moment of despair, I headed to Mount Wan Chong.”

The cottage that Ming Yao rented wasn’t far from Mount Wan Chong, a place with few visitors, chosen for its tranquility, so that others wouldn’t know where she lived.

Mount Wan Chong used to be a famous tourist attraction in Li City, with many city residents going there to hike on weekends.

But since the first case of someone committing suicide by jumping off a cliff five years ago, there have been successive incidents over the years.

Those wishing to end their lives chose this spot to do so.

Over time, the place acquired a bad reputation, and even during the daytime, few people went hiking there anymore, not to mention at night.

The owner of the cottage that Ming Yao rented out did so for a low price because they were afraid.

Nowadays, when people talk about going to Mount Wan Chong, suicide is the first thing that comes to mind.

Upon hearing Ming Yao’s words, Aunt Zhong was first taken aback, then immediately went forward and held her tightly.

“Fujin, you mustn’t have such foolish thoughts! Nothing is more important than life. If something happened to you, do you want Aunt Zhong to die of grief?”

After being embraced by Aunt Zhong, Ming Yao covertly glanced at Gu Siting.

Seeing his frown as he looked at her, Ming Yao’s long eyelashes immediately quivered.
