Chapter 6: He's Waiting for You

She showed no fear and cried out excitedly, "Master, you're back!"

Gu Xichen, however, could not see anything and anxiously asked Gu Lili across from him, "Is my mom really back?"

"Of course."

She watched as Master Mingyue slowly entered and knelt without moving, then she first reported to Gu Xichen, "Master, he broke off our engagement."

Ming Yue spoke up, her voice carrying a chill, "Xichen, why?"

Hearing his mother's voice, Gu Xichen also got scared and hurriedly answered, "Your son has found a woman he likes, and Lili has agreed."

"Master, since he is unwilling, I do not wish to force him against his will, so let's call off this marriage."

"What will you do from now on?" Ming Yue looked at her, her pale face showing concern.

With tears glistening in her eyes, Gu Lili said, "It's okay, I am not afraid of anything and will live well, Master does not need to worry."

Gu Xichen choked up, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"This 'sorry' should not be said to me, and the one who should be saying sorry to me is not you. I hope you live a healthy and safe life, having life is better than having any amount of money."

After speaking, Ming Yue disappeared.

"Mom..."

"Master has gone."

Gu Xichen cried inconsolably, and the two of them fell into a silent silence.

Since the spirit had already returned, it was unnecessary to continue the vigil into the late night, and Gu Lili got up to go back to her room to sleep, with Gu Xichen also returning to his room.

The two beds in one room, and the two lying in their respective beds, neither could fall asleep.

"Regardless, if you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me."

"Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather beg on the streets and starve than come to you."

"..."

***

The next morning, the coffin was buried on the hillside behind the house, and Gu Xichen left directly.

The yard was completely empty.

Standing in the courtyard, Gu Lili felt as if she was the only one left in the world.

She decided to go make money.

She packed her bags, locked the door, and went down the mountain.

She went to a ritual supplies store on the street, bought five million in Joss Paper, and then mailed it to Long Yubei.

Afterwards, she turned off her cell phone and went to look for a job.

...

When Long Yubei came back at noon, Tang Qingli handed him a package, "Young Master, you've got a delivery."

"Mine?"

He took it and then ripped open the parcel; the moment he opened it, the two were dumbfounded.

Long Yubei reached out and took out the Joss Paper banknotes from inside, casually tossing them, and a flurry of notes fell to the ground.

It's a pity they can't be used in the mortal realm.

"This damned woman!" He threw the box on the ground and ordered Tang Qingli beside him, "Catch that woman for me right away, find her at all costs, and bring her to me."

"Yes, Young Master."

Tang Qingli looked at his grim face, and his heart skipped a beat, realizing that this bold woman was about to suffer; no one had ever dared to treat his young master this way. She must be tired of living.

He immediately went to check the news of Gu Lili.

In less than half an hour, there was a lead. Gu Lili had gone to a restaurant planning to work as a waitress to earn some money, but just after she got the job, Tang Qingli captured her.

Needless to say, that job was now down the drain.

Heaven knows that when she saw Tang Qingli, her whole person was dumbfounded.

Before she could react, she was stuffed into the car, and in the car, a loud voice kept resonating in her head: I'm screwed!

"How did you find me?"

Tang Qingli looked straight ahead and replied, "In S country, even if Miss Gu hides in a cave, I'll be able to find you. It's just a matter of time."

"..."

"Your young master is not at home, is he?"

"He's waiting for you."

"..."
