Back Then, I Adored You

Gu Yusheng had felt turmoil in his heart since the phone had started ringing.

Is she deaf? Can’t she hear the ringing? Is her phone a brick or something? This really pisses me off…

While Gu Yusheng was thinking how he would definitely give a good lesson to the housekeeper when she answered, the call was answered suddenly. The second before, he had been thinking of blaming her, but the first words that he said were, “Have you found her?”

“No yet, Miss Liang was gone when I went out. I’m now at the gate of the community, and it’s empty in the street, I don’t see her…”

Gu Yusheng frowned and said to the housekeeper angrily over the phone, “Not there? How could she not be there? It’s only been several minutes, and she was wearing slippers, how could she walk so fast? Are you sure? Maybe she’s hiding in the neighborhood?”

“I’ll continue to look for her around here…”

“Look for her? You’ve been looking for her for such a long time. Have you found her? I said you were useless, but you really are! You contact the security guards now and tell them to check every corner of the neighborhood! I’ll look for her outside!” After saying that, Gu Yusheng abruptly hung up, then took out his car keys and wallet and walked to the underground garage.

When he drove out of the community, he finally realized that he had nowhere to look for her.

He knew very little about Liang Doukou, practically nothing.

He didn’t know who her friends were.

The only person he knew that was in touch with her was Zhou Jing. He got Zhou Jing’s number through his connections, then called her, but only found that Liang Doukou hadn’t called her at all.

She couldn’t just evaporate into thin air, right? But she has no money, and it’s hard to take a taxi, she must be wandering on the street right now, Gu Yusheng kept thinking while driving at a slow speed on every street and looking from right to left through the rearview mirror.

His villa was located in the western part of the city, so he went on every cul-de-sac, avenue, and even alleyway there. In the end, he was back to the gate of the villa, but hadn’t found a trace of her.

The housekeeper couldn’t fall asleep out of worry for Qin Zhi’ai, so she was waiting by the door. Seeing Gu Yusheng driving back, she immediately ran to him, asking, “Mr. Gu, have you found her?”

From the housekeeper’s question, Gu Yusheng knew that Qin Zhi’ai hadn’t come back, but he still asked, “She hasn’t come back yet?”

“Not yet,” the housekeeper shook her head.

Gu Yusheng pushed the door of the car open in annoyance, got out, and walked into the yard.

Maybe she didn’t go out at all?

With that thought, he walked around the large yard.

The housekeeper didn’t understand what he was doing initially, but when she did, she helped him check the yard.

The water in the swimming pool was crystal clear, so the bottom of the pool could be seen easily. However, Gu Yusheng bent over and stared at it carefully for quite a while, then walked back to the gate of the yard.

When he met the housekeeper, who also hadn’t found Qin Zhi’ai in the other half of the yard, he knew that she wasn’t at home. He reached up and undid two buttons around his collar, then paced back and forth anxiously by the door, saying with extreme hatred, “She’d better hide from me for her whole life, or I’ll break her legs when I find her!”

After Gu Yusheng said that, the housekeeper seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said, “Mr. Gu, do you think that Miss Liang went to the Gu Mansion or the Liangs?”

Gu Yusheng was awakened by the housekeeper’s words. Before the housekeeper could react, Gu Yusheng’s car had already disappeared in front of her.
