Bestow Me a Love Like Wind

Chapter 45: All You Want Is Money, Right? III

“Stop it, Leng Sicheng! Where are you going?” Horror struck her, followed by a crashing wave of resentment.

She could not understand what was happening, having never objected to him looking for other women. She needed the money, and instead of bothering him, she had asked Li Youyou for it. Director Du’s appearance was coincidental, and he knew she would not have done what Li Youyou asked anyway, drinking with other men and all that. What was he so angry about? She did not ask him for any money, nor did she trouble him. Was not bothering him a problem too?

If him going out and finding other women was not a shameful thing to him, then why would borrowing money from Li Youyou make him lose face?

If it was because of the misunderstanding with Director Du – that director was his friend, right? Leng Sicheng was the one who collaborated with the likes of him in the first place! Being misunderstood like that… shouldn’t she have been the one who was pissed instead? Why was he lashing out at her?!

In the past, she had been obedient to him because of his better temperament and that she also genuinely liked him. There were other practical reasons for it as well. One of them was due to her inferiority of the gaping difference between both families’ status. She could also not disobey him because she was still financially independent and had to constantly rely on his ‘help.’

This time, however, she did not ask for money nor request any favors from him. His cheating had escalated to the point where he visited night clubs… she never even lambasted him about it. So why was he angry? What right did he have to throw a tantrum at her without the slightest sense of guilt?

These thoughts were playing so loudly in her mind, but she could barely utter them. Not when she was faced with Leng Sicheng’s indignant set of expressions.

Leng Sicheng continued to drive like a madman, stepping hard on the pedal and weaving through traffic at high speed. Buildings passed them in a faint blur. They kept going faster and more recklessly until Gu Qingqing’s anger finally dissolved into fear!

“Leng Sicheng, where are you taking me? Say something!” She looked at the road they were driving on. It seemed to be the way home. “Leng Sicheng, you can do whatever you want. When we get home, I promise I’ll agree to whatever you wish!”

The moment she mentioned the word ‘home,’ Leng Sicheng violently spun the car around! Without warning, they were now going in the opposite direction! Leng Sicheng was changing the route. The vehicle accelerated towards unfamiliar darkness.

Gu Qingqing trembled like a leaf as she was thrown around the speeding car like a petrified ragdoll. They were traveling at over 200 miles per hour and increasing by the second. Her heart thumped so hard, it nearly jumped out of her mouth! Other than tightening her seatbelt and holding on to the grip handle with both hands, there was nothing else she could do.

Thank goodness it was late into the night, and cars were few and far between. They were also nearby the west suburbs of City Yan. Leng Sicheng wrestled the car frantically until they reached a place close to the River Yan.

The car screeched to a sudden stop by a quiet pasture by the river. Steam from the burning engine and tires blew along with the gentle breeze. This place was the starting point of the River Yan’s landscape belt. There was a little park nearby where joggers and couples frequented.

But at this hour, there was not a single person to be seen, so it was utterly still. In the darkness of the night, it seemed like a deserted island in the middle of nowhere.

Once the car came to a stop, Gu Qingqing pushed the car door open and tumbled out, gagging. The rollercoaster of a car ride had her insides churning like the sea. It was a horrible feeling.

When she finally caught her breath and looked up, a heavy arm came down on her neck and pinned her against the car door!
