As for what I just said, not only did Gu Yuanzhou not get angry, but his mood seemed to soothe considerably.
“You don’t need to target Ye Mengyan, I’ve told you, she is not my woman, and our relationship isn’t romantic. She’s not my mistress, and I wouldn’t hurt my wife because of her.”
Gu Yuanzhou spoke earnestly, maintaining a serene demeanor.
But at this point, I no longer trusted him.
Ever since Old Ma died.
I didn’t believe a single word Gu Yuanzhou said.
I laughed coldly at him and countered:
“Fine, you don’t love Ye Mengyan. Then hand her over to the police! At least two things are certain, she has poisoned Wu Lijuan, and she also hired someone to harm me.”
Gu Yuanzhou took another drag of his cigarette, casting a deep gaze at me.
“These two matters, I can solve them with you today.”
“How will you solve them?”
Gu Yuanzhou picked up his suit jacket and placed it on his arm, turning to walk out.
“I’ll accompany you to investigate! I will give you an answer.”
“Sure, I’m curious to see what kind of answer President Gu can give me.”
My words were thick with irony. I was quite certain that Gu Yuanzhou wouldn’t be able to dig up any clues.
Everything was already set in stone.
By continuing to investigate, he was only going to embarrass himself.
After I went downstairs with Gu Yuanzhou, at the entrance of the company, I ran into Ding Yinuo again.
From a distance, his tall figure was unmistakable.
As soon as he saw me, he hurried over,
“Off work? You’re with me now!”
He grabbed my arm, eager to get me out of there.
“Yinuo, go back first, I have to go somewhere with Gu Yuanzhou.”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me from afar, he didn’t confront Ding Yinuo, but climbed into his car alone.
Ding Yinuo said, “He’s just a scumbag, why bother with him?”
“Yinuo, I have to get to the bottom of this!”
“Alright, remember to contact me if you need anything.”
“Of course!”
I got into Gu Yuanzhou’s car.
After Gu Yuanzhou started the car, through the window, I could see Ding Yinuo was still standing there, watching me.
Holding the steering wheel with both hands, Gu Yuanzhou casually said,
“If I remember correctly, Ding Yinuo is just a doctor.”
This was perhaps the first time Gu Yuanzhou had mentioned Ding Yinuo in front of me.
“Yes!”
“Didn’t you once say that men who are doctors are very callous?”
“Did I say that?”
Without answering my question, Gu Yuanzhou changed the subject and asked, “Do you think highly of Tianjiao Company?”
“Not really! Tianjiao Company does have the strength, but its management style is somewhat traditional, conservative. For such a large-scale company, they have their own established client base, any attempt to adjust or change is impossible.”
“You’ve thought about it deeply!”
“Of course! I have been competing with Tianjiao Company for over ten years, do you think I wouldn’t know my enemy’s information thoroughly?”
Gu Yuanzhou gave me a meaningful look and said,
“Having fought with them for so many years, you should know well how much you loathe the Ding Family. Why are you so close to him now?”
“People’s perceptions differ. Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. There are many deceits in this world, aren’t there?”
I admittedly misunderstood Ding Yinuo all along.
In other words, he misunderstood me, and this misunderstanding caused lasting hard feelings between us for years.
But now, everything has been explained.
There is no more misunderstanding between us, our relationship is no longer what it used to be.
Gu Yuanzhou turned his head, his dark eyes staring at me for a long time.
“Did he do something, or say something, that changed your view?”
“He didn’t do anything? I’m not so easily misled.”
“Sometimes, many men are not as they appear on the surface, they lie to deceive people.”
There was a clear implication in Gu Yuanzhou’s words.
I’m not a fool, I could understand it.
But there was no need to argue with him at this point. I chuckled lightly.
“Yes, you’re right. I was deceived badly by a lying man.”
I remembered that confession letter
Would I be with Gu Yuanzhou if it wasn’t for that confession letter?
Probably not!
So, the man who lied and deceived me was Gu Yuanzhou!
The one at fault was him, yet he was planning against others behind their back.
My doubts about him deepened, my hand gripping a cell phone tightly.
I knew, my disappointment towards Gu Yuanzhou was growing bigger.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped in front of Lovers’ Bar.
It was only a little over five o’clock and the bar had just opened. There weren’t many people.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t get out of the car, but picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
About ten minutes later, three black sedans parked one after another across the street.
When the car doors opened, men in sunglasses came out, followed by several black-suited bodyguards emerging from the other cars.
The man in sunglasses leading the group was Ayu, whom I recognized as being in charge of Gu Yuanzhou’s dirty work.
Ayu, accompanied by these dozen or so bodyguards, approached our car.
It was only after he opened the car door, that Gu Yuanzhou emerged.
“President Gu, hey .”
After exchanging a few words with Gu Yuanzhou, he greeted me, “Hey, Madam.”
Oddly enough, all those years I’d been with Gu Yuanzhou, I always accepted his bodyguards addressing me as “Madam.”
Yet, from some day forward, I could no longer stomach the term “Madam.”
The three words, like splinters burrowing, stung my heart.
So, I quickly corrected him, “Don’t call me that haphazardly, I have nothing to do with President Gu.”
Ayu laughed half-heartedly, seemingly dismissing my words, and turned away to converse with Gu Yuanzhou.
“I know the owner of this place. This matter today is all on me.”
Seeing him confidently assure us, Gu Yuanzhou led me into the bar.
The bar was rather quiet at the moment, with the bartender still mixing drinks and the sound tech fine-tuning the music
Upon receiving Ayu’s call, the short bar owner hurried over from outside, dressed in a floral shirt and clutching a briefcase under his arm.
“Oh my, Brother Ayu! What wind blew you all this way? Come, come in, please sit down!”
Ayu rudely brushed him aside,
“We’re not here to drink, listen, my big brother’s wife had a bit of trouble here a few days ago. As long as you hand over those scumbags to me, you’ll be trouble-free. Otherwise, you better close this bar and scram off from A City!”
Compared to Ayu’s brash and ruthless behavior
At this moment, Gu Yuanzhou, dressed impeccably in a suit, appeared refined and reserved, like a gentleman.
He sat calmly on the sofa, legs crossed, only the domineering air emanating from his sharp eyes instilled fear in all present.
“Alright, bro, I’ll go and check on it right away, and I guarantee I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
It was clear from the bar owner’s eyes that he was genuinely afraid of Ayu,
Perhaps he had been bullied by Ayu in the past.
Once he understood what the matter was about, he immediately called someone to check the surveillance footage from that day.
I sat quietly watching Gu Yuanzhou, curious to see what he could dig up!
