You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Leaving This World

Tilting her chin, Bai Rong stared squarely at Gu Mingchen. Her gaze appeared impassive and calm.

She was completely emotionless, as though she was talking about somebody else but herself.

“Su Xuyan is the cause of Bai Rong’s agony. How can she love him? And the same goes for you, so don’t see her anymore,” she commanded in an icy tone.

Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her closely. “Did you make a deal with Su Xuyan or something?”

“Aren’t you smart? Why don’t you look into the matter yourself? That being said, I think you should stop investigating it because it’ll bring you nothing other than suffering.” With her lips pursed, Bai Rong was more distant than usual.

Gu Mingchen stood there without uttering a word. The temperature of the air around them seemed to have dropped drastically out of the blue.

Cheng Jinrong cleared his throat and said to the man, “Let me walk you out.”

“Don’t forget to return my bag to me,” Bai Rong reminded him.

Gu Mingchen shot her an icy glance before heading out the door.

Trailing behind him, Cheng Jinrong said, “Um… Can I have a few words with you?”

Gu Mingchen turned his head around to gaze at him, waiting silently for him to speak.

“There’s something I want to let you know. The moment you left just now, Bai Rong told me that she loved you deeply and that you’re the love of her life. Then, she lost her composure and went into her room. A few minutes later, I could hear her smashing a lot of things while sobbing uncontrollably. After that, she began screaming helplessly. I was worried about her, so I knocked on her door, but when she opened it, she seemed to have turned into an entirely different person. I suspect she has dissociative identity disorder.” Cheng Jinrong shared his speculation.

Hearing that, Gu Mingchen recalled that Bai Rong had been taking some medications.

That means that she has always had a mental illness. Previously, she once misunderstood that I was with Zhou Hailan. At that time, she smashed some things too. What she says today is really strange. She called herself by her name, as though she isn’t herself but another person. She also discloses to me that she did make a deal with Su Xuyan. Is that why she’s getting together with him?

Gu Mingchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. His gaze was full of sympathy and affection for Bai Rong.

“Did you buy that piece of land because you thought there were treasures buried underneath?” he asked directly.

Cheng Jinrong froze for a second at his question.

I just heard Bai Rong and him talk about the treasure just now, so I guess there must be a connection between the two of them and the treasure. Now that the land has been requisitioned by the military, I guess it’s pointless to hide the truth.

“Yes. My ex-girlfriend’s father is a geologist. He said that there are treasures buried underneath that piece of land and asked me to buy it,” he explained.

“Where is your ex-girlfriend’s father now?” Gu Mingchen asked eagerly.

“My ex-girlfriend was killed last week. Since her death was somehow related to me, her father left. I don’t know where he is now.” Cheng Jinrong answered in dejection. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. “Oh, yeah. Can I have a look at the diary Bai Rong gave you?”

Gu Mingchen handed the diary to him.
