You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 325


    Chapter 325 Something Fishy About Her Identity


    In the car.


    The light of the streemps streamed through the car window, illuminating one side of Gu Mingchen’s


    face while hiding the other side in darkness.


    In the rear seat, Gu Yan was cuddling up to Wu Nian. “Ms. Wu, didn’t you say you’ll tell me stories?”


    In a soothing voice, Wu Nian started telling a story, “Once upon a time, there was a lion cub. When he


    was born, a hunter killed his Daddy and took his Mommy away from him. The cub and his little sister


    were then adopted by an elephant.


    “When he was young, he was always bullied by tigers, wolves and hyenas.


    “He would always tell himself that he needed to be stronger so that one day, he wouldn’t get


    bullied.


    “He trained himself to run faster and grow sharper ws than any other animal. He also learned to


    avoid the hunter’s traps. Finally, he became the king of the jungle. He married a beautiful wife and had


    two baby cubs. In the end, the family lived happily ever after.”


    She looked affectionately at Gu Yan, who had fallen asleep in her arms.


    Gu Mingchen took several nces at Wu Nian through the rearview mirror. “Is Yanny asleep?”


    “Yes. After you drop me off, put him in the child safety seat. Go slow and drive safe,” Wu Nian


    reminded.


    Through the mirror, Gu Mingchen’s eyes bore straight into hers. Wu Nian could clearly see her


    reflection in the man’s dark eyes.


    Feeling panicked, she cast her eyes down to avoid his gaze while subconsciously tightening her arms


    around Gu Yan.


    Gu Mingchen soon retracted his gaze. In a solemn voice, he instructed, “I often go on business trips,


    and sometimes it might take more than half a month. Before this, they didn’t go to school since they


    didn’t meet the age requirement, so I brought them with me wherever I went. Now that they need to


    attend school, I can’t bring them with me anymore. I’m guessing you already know about Zhou Han’s


    true colors. Remember, don’t ever leave Yanny alone with her.”


    There was a hint of confusion in Wu Nian’s eyes as she gazed at Gu Mingchen. “Mr. Gu, are you not


    going to remarry?”


    “That’s none of your business,” Gu Mingchen said coldly.


    Wu Nian lowered her head. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that.”


    Gu Mingchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He stated in a deep voice, “I believe Yanny’s


    mother is still alive.”


    Hearing that, Wu Nian’s eyshes fluttered. She remained silent while casting her gaze outside the car


    window. At that moment, tears started rolling down her cheeks. Fortunately, the darkness perfectly


    concealed her tears.


    “Where do you live?” Gu Mingchen suddenly asked.


    Wu Nian collected herself. She cleared her throat to let herself sound normal as she answered, “Oasis


    Hotel. Just drop me at the entrance.”


    Gu Mingchen furrowed his brows. “How are you going to boil eggs when you’re living in a hotel?”


    Wu Nian gave a rueful chuckle. “It’s not a serious injury anyway. I get such bruises all the time when I


    was working at the orphanage. The kids there are naughty, and they like running here and there.”


    When they almost reached Oasis Hotel, Gu Mingchen stopped the car by the roadside. “Wait for a


    while.”


    “All right.” Wu Nian’s eyes followed the man as he entered a restaurant while her heart swelled with


    mixed emotions. He may present a cold facade to the world, but beneath that lies a warm heart. He’s


    always been attentive and caring toward others. I hope he finds himself a nice woman who can take


    good care of him and keep himpany.


    Ten minutester, Gu Mingchen was back with a stic bag for Wu Nian.


    “You didn’t take the Neosporin with you, so I bought you a new one. There’s an Arnica cream in the bag


    for your bruising. And also, I bought you two hard-boiled eggs. When you return to the hotel, roll the


    eggs on the bruises. Since you were injured because of Xin, as his father, I should take responsibility


    and make up for his mistake.” His voice was singrly cold and stony, as if he didn’t want her to get the


    wrong idea. He was making it clear that he was doing all this as Gu Ruoxin’s father, nothing more.


    With a polite smile, Wu Nian epted his kindness. “Thank you, Mr. Gu. I’ll work hard so that one day,


    my sry will reach a hundred thousand.”


    Gu Mingchen nodded smilingly. Soon he dropped her off at Oasis Hotel.

    Wu Nian watched his car leave before she entered the hotel.


    Unbeknownst to her, Gu Mingchenter drove back to the hotel. At the front desk, he cast a nce at


    the price list. The rate for a standard room was a thousand and eighty per night.


    “Hi, I’m Wu Nian’s friend. May I ask which room she’s currently living in?” he asked politely.


    “Ms. Wu Nian?” The receptionist searched the name in the system. “She’s living in Room 2108.”


    “She’s not staying here anymore after this Saturday. I’m paying the hotel fees in advance for her. How


    much is it?”


    The receptionist took a nce at Gu Mingchen’s charming face before her face flushed. After a short


    while, she obtained a figure from the calctor. “Ms. Wu has stayed for six days. It will be seven days,


    including tomorrow. The hotel offers a free night after staying for five nights in a row. So, we will only


    charge you for six nights, which is twelve thousand four hundred and eighty.”


    Gu Mingchen once again nced at the price list. Two thousand and eighty per night was the price for


    a VIP suite.


    After making the payment, he left the hotel and then gave his assistant a call. “How is the investigation


    going?”


    His assistant reported, “Mr. Gu, I’m at Coldbridge City right now. From what I’ve found, Wu Nian indeed


    grew up in Daoren Orphanage. A few years ago, she worked as a teacher at the orphanage after


    graduating from a normal university. Before that, she had a boyfriend, but her boyfriend’s family disliked


    her because of her family and educational background. Her boyfriend dumped her only after he got


    married. She was heartbroken, so that was why she left the orphanage.”


    “How much did the orphanage pay her?” Gu Mingchen asked dubiously.


    “Well, I’ve asked about it. Her monthly sry was two thousand and five hundred. Apart from that, they


    would give her a thirteenth sry of about five thousand to ten thousand.”


    Hearing that, Gu Mingchen’s eyes darkened. “Xingyu, if you were someone of her financial ability,


    would you stay for a week in a hotel that costs two thousand per night?”


    “Definitely not. But it’s not strange for a person who got dumped to have a sudden change of mindset.


    Perhaps she wanted to get a taste of living the life of a rich person after having a rough time all those


    years.” Zhang Xingyu thought Wu Nian’s behavior was totally understandable.


    “I see. You’ve got a point there.” After a short pause, Gu Mingchen ordered, “I need you to go to the


    orphanage again, then send me her pictures. I want no less than six of them, from childhood to


    adulthood.”


    “Yes, Mr. Gu,” Zhang Xingyu replied.


    Gu Mingchen ended the call. With a pensive look on his face, he nced over at Gu Yan.


    Since he would often go on business trips, he would only leave his kids in Wu Nian’s hands after


    making sure thetter was trustworthy.
