Chapter 124: Why are you so heartless?
Gu Siyu patted her palms, as if feeling that her hands were dirtied by her recent actions, a hint of disgust showing in her eyes.
Turning to leave, the little punk girls behind her were either clutching their stomachs or squatting on the ground, all of them having sustained some degree of injury.
Watching Gu Siyu leave, they were powerless to do anything.
—
She had originally planned to do some sightseeing, but being interrupted by these people completely ruined her mood. Gu Siyu found a milk tea shop and sat down.
Idly, she called Aili.
“Sister Aili, where are you! Did you go back?”
The call connected, and Gu Siyu asked impatiently.
On the other end of the phone, Aili lay on the sofa, her brows furrowed, but she forced herself to answer, “Yes, I’m back in Spain.”
“You went back with Bei Ming Hao Chen? Did he suspect you?”
Aili was actually worried that the incident might expose Gu Siyu’s identity. Logically, Gu Siyu didn’t have much of a relationship with them, yet they knew each other. Once Bei Ming Hao Chen and the others found out, they would inevitably take their anger out on Gu Siyu, regardless of whether she had any connection to them.
“Probably not.”
“It would be good if he did suspect. I actually want to tell him my identity. It’s so tiring to keep it bottled up like this.”
“Mommy also doesn’t agree to me breaking off the engagement with him. I just don’t understand.”
Gu Siyu propped her head up, as if only when talking to Aili could she stop overthinking and tell her everything she thought without any hesitation.
Aili chuckled softly and said nothing. After a few more words, Aili said she had something to attend to and hung up.
Gu Siyu then put away her mobile phone and sat there, lost in thought.
—
Spain.
Several clear purple marks were on Aili’s back, her skin broken and flesh torn, too obvious.
A private doctor knelt beside her, tending to the wounds on her back.
Aili gritted her teeth, in unbearable pain, but she bit her lip tightly, determined not to be defeated by the pain.
“Miss Aili, you don’t have to endure it if it hurts too much.”
“How can Mister be so heartless.”
The private doctor was a woman of about thirty, with excellent medical skills. Seeing Aili like this, a pang of heartache crossed her mind.
Aili was younger than her, so in her eyes, Aili was like her own sister.
Seeing her sister in so much pain, how could she not feel heartbroken.
“It’s okay, it’s my fault.”
“I can’t even handle a small matter properly. I feel so useless.”
Aili chuckled softly, forcing herself to shift her attention.
“Not at all. Some things are simply not meant for you to do.”
“Besides, you’re a girl going up against a group of men. You’re bound to suffer a disadvantage.”
A hint of heartache and a sigh crossed the doctor’s eyes.
A month ago, Aili was ordered to leave Spain for China to carry out a mission.
A month later, Aili returned, reportedly having failed the mission and been whipped by Mister until she was covered in wounds, lying in bed for nearly a week.
Some servants privately felt sorry for Aili, but they didn’t show it, as it would be of no use.
After the doctor finished treating her wounds and left, she lay alone on the sofa, thinking about recent events.
The cooperation with Bei Ming Hao Chen and the others had been completely severed due to that explosion—
causing the organization to lose nearly twenty million in funds.
Aili being punished was normal, but the problem was—
A flicker of pain crossed Aili’s eyes—if she was being punished for failing the mission, it was probably…
