You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 99

Because of the emergency, Gu Mingchen and Chen Zhi had to rush back through the night.

Bai Rong wanted to drive them back but Gu Mingchen refused.

When they returned to A City, it was already 6 a.m..

Liu Yan just woke up when Bai Rong returned to the house.

When she saw Bai Rong, she hung a smile on her face, “Have you made up with Gu Mingchen?”

“Yeah. Let me make you some breakfast.” Bai Rong went into the kitchen.

Liu Yan followed her into the kitchen and asked curiously, “Have he solved the problem with his marriage?”

“It should be solved by now.”

“Great! I knew Gu Mingchen was a real man. Now that you two are together, I feel so relieved. You don’t know how much white hair I grew when you two aren’t together, haha!”

Bai Rong smiled and said, “Don’t you keep worrying about me. What about you? Your dad should be the most anxious person.”

“I’ve already taken the military application. I wrote your name too and handed it in. Once I’m in the military base, I’ll be surrounded by those hot-blooded men! You think I can’t get married? I just have to choose the one I like.” Liu Yan spoke optimistically.

“That’s good. That man called Shen Yiyan isn’t pestering you, is he?” Bai Rong asked, feeling worried.

“Him? There are so many women around him and I don’t think I’m even at the top of his list. I think he has forgotten about me so I guess it’s a good thing. Just think of me getting bitten by a stray dog. Go

ahead and make your breakfast first, I have to apply a mask while it’s still early.” Liu Yan chuckled and went out.

Bai Rong went to wash up while waiting for the porridge to boil. When it was done, Liu Yan also finished applying her mask.

“Are you still going to work today?” Liu Yan asked.

“We drove all night last night. Though I wasn’t the one driving, I still didn’t get much sleep. I’m worried I might make mistakes during the surgeries so I’m not going today.”

“It’s fine if you don’t go. My dad already expected it so he had transferred two doctors from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on Monday. I think they are supposed to fill in for the both of us. I’m done eating so I’ll leave the dishes to you, honey. Love you.” Liu Yan then went out.

After Bai Rong finished cleaning the dishes, she cleaned the house and lay in bed to rest.

I wonder how Gu Mingchen is dealing with the problem. I hope it’s going smoothly.

Knock knock. Someone knocked on the door.

Bai Rong walked to the door suspiciously and peeked through the peephole. It was Gu Mingchen’s mother, Song Xiyu.

She met her at Su Wanning’s house so she recognized her.

Song Xiyu knocked the door once again, as if she was sure she was inside.

Bai Rong thought they would meet sooner or later so she opened the door and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mrs. Gu. Please come in.”

Song Xiyu examined the room and smiled, “Even though the room is small, you managed to keep it neat and tidy.”

Bai Rong poured a cup of tea and put it on the table before Song Xiyu, then sat across her. “This tea is made from tea leaves that my colleagues and I picked by hand when we went on a holiday in the mountains. The boss of the tea shop roasted them himself. Please have a taste.”

Song Xiyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, “Hmm, it’s fresh and leaves quite a strong aftertaste. It’s sweet and refreshing. What a great tea.”

“We picked a lot. I thought picking myself feels safer. I still have half a catty packed. If you don’t mind, I welcome you to drink it often, Mrs. Gu.”

“You have quite good taste, young lady. The tea leaves you picked are the best parts. It’s worth no less than 10 thousand according to the market price. How much did you pay when you went to pick them?” Song Xiyu seemed like she just asked a simple question.

“It was scheduled by the tour guide. I think we paid 100 a day where we were allowed to pick as much as we liked.” Bai Rong answered honestly.

“You’ve taken so much advantage of the boss of the tea house that you’re going to make him cry, Ms. Bai.” Song Xiyu laughed as she put the teacup back onto the table.

Bai Rong could see that Song Xiyu was well-educated. She was graceful and noble. Her words were not bitter nor mean.

She always wore an attractive smile on her face which made her look dignified and generous.

However, the words she spoke were sharper than razors.

The other meaning of her words were describing Gu Mingchen as the tea leaves, and the ones that wanted to cry were Gu Mingchen’s parents and the entire family. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Since the boss of the tea house only requested for 100, he should be prepared that only people who knows how to appreciate tea can taste the good in tea; As for people who do not know how to appreciate tea, even if it worth over 100 thousand, they still couldn’t tell the difference between good and bad, am I right?” Bai Rong did not stay silent and spoke without holding back.

“True. Not many people appreciate tea. But it’s different when it comes to humans. Our Mingchen has been brilliant ever since he was a child. I wanted to send him to study at Cambridge but his father didn’t agree and insisted on sending him to a military school so that our son could succeed him. However, Mingchen was independent and had a mind of his own. He got into the best university in the country right after high school at the age of 14. Then he finished his post-graduate in 4 years and everything seemed to be going smoothly.”

“He then hid from us and joined the Special Forces. This made his father so angry that he almost had a heart attack. What more, he refused to accept missions which were not dangerous enough. There were many times when he had to be carried back because he got so badly wounded. He was rebellious, wild, disobedient, impudent and conceited. He thought he’s the one to control his life, not God. But what comforted us was that he achieved victory with his own efforts and quickly rose the ranks and became a major.”

“Then, something finally happened to him that year. He led 8 comrades to perform a task but there was a spy among them. Everyone was sacrificed. When he brought the hostage back with him, he was covered in wounds and only made it back to the troops with his exceptional will. He passed out right after he returned and only woke up a week later on the hospital bed. His father and I were so worried.”

“But he still insisted on being a lone wolf. There were countless times when he almost died, so his father and I kept sending people into the Forces to protect him. Luckily, he survived peacefully until

now and even got promoted from a major to the youngest general. What can you tell about him from the path he has taken?” Song Xiyu asked earnestly.

“What I can tell is not important. The important thing is what are you trying to express, Mrs. Gu?” Bai Rong asked directly.

“Our Mingchen is eager and rebellious. The path he had taken was hard. He used to rely on himself and not the family. He really wanted to be a good person but he’s too arrogant, aggressive and domineering. But he’s still a child in our eyes. As parents, our hearts hurt the most when we see our child suffer outside. We want to give him the best we can offer in the world but I’m still worried it’s not enough. Bai Rong, I know you’re actually a reasonable person. From the way you speak, look and how you behave, I can see that clearly. I like your attitude and demeanor. However, in all fairness, you cannot help Mingchen. It’s possible that you’re the biggest obstacle ever in his life.” When Song Xiyu finished speaking, she took out a piece of cheque from her bag and put it before Bai Rong.

It was a cheque of 8 million.

“This is some compensation for you. I hope this can lessen the pain in your heart.” Song Xiyu smiled and said.

Bai Rong lowered her eyes and returned the cheque to Song Xiyu. “In your eyes, Gu Mingchen is worth 8 million. But have a guess, do you think he’s worthless or priceless in my eyes?” She said.
