The night had grown deep as I washed my face.
Leaning against the sink, I scrutinized my face in the mirror, over and over again, Ding Yinuo’s words echoing in my mind.
He said I looked a lot like Song Yune
Song Xiaoyun was pretty, but her face had no physical resemblance to mine.
Therefore, I remained unable to understand what Ding Yinuo meant.
That night, as I lay in bed, I thought about a lot of things.
I thought about what Pei Zexi had said, that Gu Yuanzhou had never loved me, and only used me.
Was that really the case?
Truth be told, as the person involved, I never sensed him using me.
While alive, from any perspective, Gu Yuanzhou had been a very competent husband.
I hardly slept the whole night.
Then in the morning, as I was half asleep, my phone rang.
When I answered it, 1 felt as if I were still dreaming. But Wenya’s voice woke me up completely.
“l am out, can we meet?” I woke up immediately.
“Okay, I’ll come to your place!”
I hung up the phone, got ready, and as I went out, I realized it was just
seven-thirty in the morning.
I hailed a cab to Wenya’s home.
Jian Jing was there too; a few good friends also came over.
It seemed they all got the news and came to console her.
Wenya had just returned and looked victorious like a triumphant general. Despite having panda eyes from staying up all night, she was still sharp.
“That old fox Gu Yuanzhou, what can he do to me? Slicing him once, detaining me overnight, I’m willing! I deserve it!”
“Wenya, how was the food inside? Did you sleep on an iron bed? I heard the toothbrush was a finger tip! Did you have to sew?”
Her girlfriends were chattering nonstop.
But everyone kept the door closed tightly to prevent Wenya’s parents from hearing.
“Get lost, I was just detained for one night, not jailed! Where did sewing come from?”
After Wenya finished speaking, I was still very worried.
“Wenya, you are bailed out by Ding Yinuo, Gu Yuanzhou is sure to sue you next, we need to find a lawyer. Or else, you will be jailed after the court ruling. ”
My words hung in the air as Wenya fell silent.
“So, we have no way out of this?” Jian Jing was also worried.
“It’s not that we don’t, thinking…”
Wenya started cursing at Gu Yuanzhou again, from the time we first started dating until now, calling him a scumbag, a dog of a man…
After her rant, she asked me,
“Knowing Gu Yuanzhou as you do, what will he do to me?”
Jian Jing suggested a strategic retreat,
“What if you apologize to him? After all, you used to be Song Yun’s best friend, maybe he would forgive you this once for his wife’s sake.”
“Bullshit, no way! The scumbag isn’t worth it! I’d rather die than apologize!’
Wenya was quite adamant.
I gently patted her shoulder, chuckling,
“I’ll handle this, you better lay low for a few days.”
In truth, I didn’t know where Gu Yuanzhou would draw the line with this matter!
If he truly loved me!
Perhaps he might overlook it, considering that Wenya is my best friend.
But, if he had never loved me as Pei Zexi said, then he wouldn’t show any mercy to my best friend.
Although I had a choice, I couldn’t just hope for the best; I had to think of a real solution.
Half an hour later, I returned to the office.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I sensed something was off.
A few of the staff members were standing at the entrance, respectfully lined up on two sides, leaving a path in the middle.
Each of them was respectfully preparing to welcome someone.
“Assistant Song, you’re here! President Gu was looking for you everywhere just now! ”
“I’m sorry, I was stuck in traffic and I’m late… So who is the important person we’re expecting today?”
“I’m not sure, but the HR manager said we all have to line up to welcome the
VIP.”
I hurried back to my workstation.
After heading to the president’s office, I saw Gu Yuanzhou on the phone.
He looked quite worried.
When he saw me, he said,
“Reserve the finest restaurant and prepare to entertain the VIP guest. Make sure that the logistics are handled properly, we cannot afford any mistakes!”
Before I could respond, he went to greet the guest personally.
I followed him outside.
A few minutes later, a fleet of black limousines gradually pulled up at the company’s entrance.
When I saw this, I had already guessed who it was.
The car door opened quickly, and a powerful elderly man in a suit got out.
I recognized him at a glance.
As I had guessed, it was my Uncle Song Shixiong.
He was not only a benefactor to Gu Yuanzhou, but also a relative by marriage.
Gu Yuanzhou naturally greeted him personally.
Knowing I was standing in front of my relative, I had to remain silent due to my altered identity, and I simply followed Gu Yuanzhou silently.
In fact, Song Shixiong has hardly ever visited Zhenyi Company.
If he is visiting in person this time, it must be for a reason…
Once Gu Yuanzhou and Song Shixiong entered, the employees standing at the door dispersed.
I then also entered Gu Yuanzhou’s office.
I busied myself making tea and slicing up a fruit platter. Keeping the guests comfortable gave me the chance to overhear their conversation.
“l entrusted Ayun to you in good faith! To think she would meet such an end under your care!”
Gu Yuanzhou apologized in a humble manner,
“I’m sorry! Uncle, I’m all to blame! I didn’t foresee the accident, and didn’t care for Ayun well enough. I accept full responsibility!!
“l delayed confronting you about this because I trusted you. I thought you would take care of everything in due course, and give me a proper explanation. But, your company’s stocks are soaring upwards while I see no sign of you dealing with what happened to Ayun.”
Song Shixiongs rage was fearsome as he lashed out at Gu Yuanzhou.
With a calm expression, Gu Yuanzhou continued to apologize without offering any explanations.
It seemed he was prepared to accept whatever fallout came his way.
Once Song Shixiong vented his anger, he gradually calmed down and accepted the cup of tea I had brewed for him.
He then let out a sigh.
“Poor child, Ayun has been deprived of parental love since childhood, and now this disaster has struck at such a young age. It’s truly heartbreaking!’
“Rest easy, Uncle, Gu Yuanzhou will take Ayun’s place in fulfilling her filial duties to you, and ensure your needs are taken care of!”
Admittedly, Gu Yuanzhou was a good talker, and he seemed to have hit the nail on the head with those words.
“When do you plant to hold the funeral? No matter how busy you are, you can’t just leave Ayun in the hospital morgue forever!”
Gu Yuanzhou managed a bitter smile,
“To tell you the truth, Uncle, I’ve made several plans for the funeral. Yet I can’t bring myself to face this reality, as if As long as the funeral hasn’t taken place, it feels like Ayun and our children… they haven’t really left me.”
His words were so sincere, I was nearly moved by them.
Song Shixiong sighed deeply before speaking earnestly,
“It’s okay to grieve, but the funeral still needs to be properly arranged. I hope you can lay Ayun to rest soon!”
“Understood, I will comply with your arrangements, Uncle!”
Having completed his tea, Song Shixiong put his cup down and got to the point.
“About Ayun’s inheritance, how do you plan to handle it?”
Although Gu Yuanzhou and I started the business together, the initial capital was put up by me. A significant portion of that was from funds provided by Song Shixiong.
As of now, our company is valued at more than twenty billion. Even if I were to split it equally with Gu Yuanzhou, I should have an inheritance of ten billion. Logically speaking, if Gu Yuanzhou had a conscience, he should transfer these shares to Song Shixiong for handling.
Now, I was waiting for Gu Yuanzhou’s answer…
