You Owe Me, My Love

“You didn’t say anything at all.” Gu Mingchen said impassively.

Bai Rong was relieved when she heard that.

She did not want to stay here any longer. “I’m grateful that you took me in last night, chief. I am leaving now.” She stood up and thanked Gu Mingchen respectfully.

“Take the cosmetics with you.” Gu Mingchen commanded.

“No, I shouldn’t.”

“These were specially bought for you. No one else is going to use it if you don’t take it.” Gu Mingchen sounded even colder.

That scared Bai Rong. She picked up the bag of cosmetics and said, “Give me your bank account number, I will transfer you the money when I get back.”

“Come to the military base if you want to return the money.” He scribbled his number on a piece of paper and passed it to Bai Rong. “Give me a call when you are here.”

“OK.” She took over the piece of paper courteously.

The man then gave her a thoughtful glance and made a call. “See Ms. Bai off.” He ordered over the phone.

It was Bai Rong’s off day today.

When she reached home, she left the cosmetics on the table and got changed. After that, she went to the psychiatric hospital to visit her mom, Bai Bing.

Ever since her parents divorced, her mother became mentally unstable. Five years ago, she started treatment under Su Xuyan’s help, and was on the road to recovery.

However, the incident from three years ago where Bai Rong was kidnapped and raped had completely struck her mother. Her world fell apart, and there were cases of assault. Because of that, she was forced to enter the psychiatric hospital and had never left since then.

With a sense of guilt, Bai Rong entered the ward.

Bai Bing was sitting by the window in a daze. Her eyes were hollow.

Bai Rong picked up a comb and walked over, then started combing her mom’s hair.

Bai Bing turned around and looked at her daughter. She asked, “When is my daughter coming to see me?”

Bai Rong’s eyes were downcast. After she finished tying Bai Bing’s hair, she sat facing her and said gently, “Mom, I am Bai Rong.”

She then sized Bai Rong up and down, then looked behind her daughter. Panically, she asked, “Where is Xuyan? Why didn’t
