Chapter 33 You Two Need to Live Together

"You really don't know him?"

Gu Baisheng didn't give up and asked him again.

Song Shuang's eyes were sharp and cold, "Why are you asking?"

Gu Baisheng's heart skipped a beat. She noticed extreme displease in his eyes. She knew that if she continued, he wouldn't respond nicely.

Besides, he was always a smart and alert man.

If she kept asking, he might actually get her to spill out what happened to Xiao Rong.

Xiao Rong's situation was too complicated. It would be better to talk less about him.

In case Song Shuang got paranoid.

"Nothing..." She avoided Song Shuang's look and touched her earlobe. "I just heard some people searching for this person this afternoon, so I wanted to ask you."

"Someone was searching for him, so you asked me?"

Seeing her tiny movement, Song Shuang squinted his black eyes and didn't believe things would be so simple.

Gu Baisheng knew he couldn't be easily fooled, so she started explaining, "When I was staying in Jinshayuan, someone was bitten by a dog. That person was called Xiao Rong. He also lived in our neighborhood."

Hearing that, Song Shuang said, "Don't meddle with other's business."

Song Shuang said that coldly.

Gu Baisheng looked at his face.

She noticed that Song Shuang's handsome profile was like a cold jade, shimmering softly under the light.

His eyelashes were so long. He didn't blink them, but he looked like he was thinking.

She was fascinated.

When Song Shuang looked towards her, she finally woke up and scratched her cheeks with her finger softly.

Song Shuang didn't bother to look at her. He turned back and was going to sleep.

Gu Baisheng immediately warned him, "You have wounds on your back. You need to lie on your stomach."

Song Shuang only responded coldly with four words, "Turn off the light."

Gu Baisheng obeyed and turned off the light for him.

She then curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

It had been such an exhausting day.

She was terrified. She had to deal with Lin Fengya and Song Zhaoyang. Then she picked up the very unlucky Xiao Rong.

She closed her eyes, and after a while, she fell asleep.

She didn't know that when she was asleep,

Song Shuang looked over and stared at her face for a long time.

It was so long that anyone would be terrified.

Song Shuang got off the bed and walked on the floor barefoot.

He went over to the sofa and gently lifted up the hair that covered her right ear with his slim and cold fingers.

His eyes fell on her round and cute earlobe.

Her fair earlobe was as soft and cute as a white bud that was about to bloom.

Her beautiful skin was flawless.

Fair and flawless.

He couldn't find any sign of a pierced ear.

Song Shuang stared at her with a deep look and couldn't move away.

Gu Baisheng was dazed. As if having a dream, she mumbled something and turned towards the back of the sofa, falling asleep again.

Song Shuang inhaled and pulled up the cashmere coat that fell off her body.

He then went back to his bed and didn't care for her.

Around midnight, Gu Baisheng fell off the sofa with a bang.

She hit her forehead on the ground and hissed in pain while covering her head.

Song Shuang slightly frowned and didn't pay any attention.

The second day.

Song Shuang opened his eyes and found the sofa empty.

The curtain was still closed, and the room was quiet. It was as if that idiot who fell off the sofa last night had never been there.

In this rare moment of peace, he suddenly felt an inexpressible irritation.

...

Gu Baisheng pushed open the door of the hotel room with breakfast.

She was dazed when she opened the door.

The room was empty and clean. There was no sign of the quilt being touched.

The medicine she left in the room was also gone.

In this room, there was no sign of Xiao Rong ever appearing.

She doubted whether she went to the right room, so she stepped back and checked the room number.

She then compared the key card in her hand.

After checking it was correct, she realized something went wrong. She rushed back to the front desk to ask them.

"Where is the person in room 302? When did he check out?"

"He didn't." The staff at the front desk said puzzledly.

"Then where is he? Where is the person who is supposed to be there?"

Gu Baisheng was worried.

The wounds on Xiao Rong's body clearly came from torture. His family was also very weird. He didn't allow her to call the police, and he didn't want to go back.

Clearly, his family didn't treat him well.

But then did his family take him back?

"But he really didn't check out."

The lady at the front desk was also helpless.

"Help me check the surveillance. My friend disappeared. Did some bad guy kidnap him?"

"It won't be. There was no special situation on our surveillance. Maybe your friend just left without saying goodbye."

Hearing her explanation, Gu Baisheng was a bit uncertain.

Did Xiao Rong leave on his own?

If so, where did he go?

If not, the lady at the front desk said there was nothing unusual on the surveillance, then who took him?

"No, I need to see the surveillance. A human being just disappeared in your hotel. If you don't let me see it, I'll call the police! Where is your manager? Get him out!"

Gu Baisheng wouldn't be relieved unless seeing Xiao Rong leaving on his own from the surveillance, so she badgered them.

The lady at the front desk couldn't help but call the manager out to talk to Gu Baisheng.

...

In the inpatient ward.

Song Shuang finished the porridge that was handed over and returned the white china bowl back to Hu Hui who was in front of him.

Looking at his pale face, Hu Hui asked, "You still don't like her?"

"I won't think of her as Gu Baisheng just because they have a similar name."

Song Shuang's words were indifferent and cold.

It also contained a sharp sense of sarcasm.

Hu Hui put the white china bowl back to the hamper she brought. She said quietly, "Don't you think she's similar to my daughter?"

Song Shuang's fingers froze.

His eyes showed he was shocked, but he didn't have any expression on his face.

Hu Hui continued, "She came to my home to save me and took a knife for me. Those aren't things you do for someone you don't know, do you?"

"She wants something from you. Naturally, she would try harder and use the ruse of self-injury to win your confidence."

Hearing what Song Shuang said, Hu Hui shook her head, "No, it's not."

"You underestimated her."

"If all she did was because she wanted something from me, then what do you want protecting her?"

Hu Hui's words were not heavy or light, but it was like a killing knife.

Even Song Shuang, who was sharp and smart, was speechless in front of this question.

Looking at the hospital gown on him and the yarn wrapping his head, Hu Hui sighed, "You're so heavily wounded this time."

Song Shuang puckered, and his eyes went dark.

Hu Hui continued, "Miss Bai should be here taking care of you. Where is she? Why is she not here?"

Before Song Shuang could answer,

the door of the room was pushed open. Gu Baisheng walked in distractedly.

Hu Hui saw the breakfast in Gu Baisheng's hand.

She smiled, "Miss Bai?"

Gu Baisheng was startled. She looked up and saw it was Hu Hui. A hint of surprise flashed over her eyes, "Mom...Morning, why are you here Auntie Hu?"

She almost said it wrong. Luckily, she was clever enough to change it halfway.

Song Shuang and Hu Hui looked at her with different expressions.

The former was as always cold as ice.

The latter looked at her kindly and warmly.

As if seeing her own daughter.

Gu Baisheng's distracted mind that was thinking about Xiao Rong was immediately dragged back by Hu Hui's appearance. She walked up and dragged a chair to sit beside Hu Hui. She grabbed Hu Hui's hand anxiously and said without hiding her care, "Hu, Auntie Hu, are you discharged from the hospital? Are you feeling alright? You look better!"

That was true.

Because of her, Hu Hui was getting better day by day.

Yesterday she was checked and was discharged after the doctors deemed her well.

Today, she came to the hospital to check on Song Shuang.

"I'm all well." Seeing how Bai Shengsheng was holding her hands and looking happy, Hu Hui's eyes were filled with emotion.

Song Shuang watched it coldly by the side.

Hu Hui continued talking to Gu Baisheng, "I heard that you were hurt in Jinshayuan?"

"Yeah." Gu Baisheng said, and she felt guilty, "Dr. Song got hurt because of me."

"Why were you at Jinshayuan?"

"I live there."

Gu Baisheng blurted out. She didn't hold any guard against her own mother.

Then Hu Hui's kind look became more amiable. She turned and looked at Song Shuang, "Are you two separated?"

Seeing this amiable look on his old mother-in-law's face, Song Shuang felt like choking Gu Baisheng who blurted it out.

Gu Baisheng just realized that her mother was trying to set her up kindly from the beginning.

Now she already said all that she shouldn't have said. It was too late to remedy.

She could only look at Song Shuang regrettably and awkwardly.

Song Shuang glanced at Gu Baisheng impatiently and answered, "Yes, we're separated."

Hu Hui nodded and didn't ask anything harshly.

She just said lightly as usual, "I want you two to live together."

"I don't want to see her." Song Shuang rejected.

Gu Baisheng also carefully explained, "It's better to live separated for us."

"I want you two to live together." Hu Hui looked at Song Shuang. Her eyes were not pushy but deep in thought.

"Even if we do, she'll never replace her."

Song Shuang said coldly.

"The person who's dead is dead. The ones living should move on." Hu Hui looked down. "My daughter and grandson are dead. You're still alive. Since you're alive, you should move on."

Song Shuang was hurt by Hu Hui's words.

Gu Baisheng looked at her mother talking to Song Shuang. Song Shuang, who was usually indifferent, didn't show a hint of impatience when talking to his old mother-in-law.

She was surprised.

Song Shuang was a decent man and had always respected Gu Baisheng's family.

But after Hu Hui threw her at Song Shuang,

she realized this kind of respect was mixed with an unknown secret. This secret forced Song Shuang to seriously consider any opinion and suggestion Hu Hui gave.

What was this secret?
