Chapter 114: 114 He Had Already Started Investigating Me_1
“Gu Yuanzhou! Don’t be so arrogant. One day, you will pay for everything you’ve done!”
Gu Yuanzhou just gave a light cough.
Two bodyguards immediately came out from the shadows, grabbed Shen Yishu’s arms, one on each side.
Gu Yuanzhou stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yishu’s throat.
“I didn’t want to humiliate you in front of a woman, but you’re too conceited. You don’t know your own weight. Listen, stay away from Song Xiaoyun. She’s mine. Do you understand?”
He was squeezing hard.
I could see that Shen Yishu was in great pain, with large beads of sweat falling from his forehead.
He bore the pain and didn’t make a sound.
But his eyes, when they looked at Gu Yuanzhou, were full of hatred.
I knew well that Shen Yishu couldn’t beat Gu Yuanzhou now.
Those two bodyguards were old subordinates of Gu Yuanzhou, both were experienced thugs, and Shen Yishu was just asking for trouble by showing off his strength now.
I had no choice but to surrender.
“President Gu, I’m willing to go back to the company with you now. Please show some mercy and let Shen Yishu go.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked me up and down, then signaled for the bodyguards to let go of Shen Yishu.
“Tomorrow! It’s too late today.”
“Fine!”
Gu Yuanzhou turned and left.
I helped Shen Yishu up.
An angry Shen Yishu was about to rush up and fight Gu Yuanzhou again, but I held him back.
Just then the driver arrived. I took Shen Yishu home first.
Shen Yishu was still very emotionally upset after a long while in the car. He kept clenching his fists tightly,
“One day, I will make Gu Yuanzhou pay for everything he’s done.”
I slowly calmed down.
“If it’s for Ye Mengyan, it’s not worth it.”
“I know it’s not worth it, but if it weren’t for him, how would Ye Mengyan have ended up like this?”
At that, I had no further comments.
There is an old saying: a fly does not sting an egg without a crack. If they could be together, there must be something wrong with both of them.
If Ye Mengyan is a vain woman to begin with, if Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t there, there would be other men.
“You work hard yourself! Strive to not be the one strangled by Gu Yuanzhou in the future.”
“Yes, I will work hard!”
I stayed at Wenya’s house that night.
Wenya’s parents were very warmhearted and enthusiastic about my staying over.
They even cooked dumplings for me in the middle of the night, for fear that I’d go hungry.
After supper, Wenya’s mom took my hand and whispered to me,
“Xiaosong, you’re Wenya’s close friend, can you tell me something, please don’t hide it from me.”
“Auntie, you can ask me anything, I will tell you everything I know!”
Actually, in my previous life, I seldom visited the Wen family since I was busy taking care of two kids after marriage.
Looking back now, I missed so many beautiful moments in life for Gu Yuanzhou.
“Did Wenya start dating?”
I was drinking tea and almost choked on it.
It’s hard to imagine Wenya, who generally behaves like a tomboy, being coy about dating.
“Really?”
“Haven’t you heard? Didn’t she tell you about it?”
I thought for a while, then shook my head,
“Auntie, as far as I know, Wenya doesn’t have a boyfriend, at least not now.”
“Well, it looks like I am overthinking again!”
Wenya’s mom looked disappointed,
“Just look at her, she’s almost thirty and still has no serious boyfriend. She looks down on every man introduced to her by our relatives for a blind date. How should we deal with this! If she goes past thirty, she’ll become an older mother. It’ll be even harder for her to find a boyfriend at that point, especially when kids her age are already attending kindergarten.”
“Auntie, this is something that can’t be rushed! When it comes to marriage, it’s better to have none than settle for the wrong one. Moreover, fate is a strange thing, maybe she’ll meet her match next year.”
“No, you don’t understand! Now, your uncle and I are too embarrassed to go out. Every time people ask if our daughter is married, we’re left speechless. Having a daughter who can’t get married, this is a great dishonor to us.”
“Auntie, don’t think that way. Other people’s opinions don’t matter. As long as we live well, that’s all that matters.”
Wenya’s mom suddenly changed the subject, “Anyway, help me out with something.”
“Auntie, just say it! If I can help, I will.”
“Good, I like your straightforwardness!”
After Wenya’s mom finished stating her request, I immediately felt that I agreed too quickly. It was too late to take it back now.
Wenya poked her head out to urge me to sleep while Wenya’s mom patted my shoulder,
“Xiaosong, the major affairs of the Wen family depend on you now.”
“About that, I…”
After being pulled into the bedroom by Wenya, she immediately began interrogating me,
“You and my mom are colluding with each other, aren’t you planning something against me?”
I had no intention of hiding it from her,
“Your mom says that your aunt arranged a blind date for you, and she wants me to accompany you there tomorrow to meet this man.”
“Heh, I knew it! It’s such an ancient practice to arrange a blind date in this day and age. I’m not going!”
“Baby, please just do me this favor. Go once, and then you can decide.”
In consideration of the delicious dumplings that Wenya’s mom made, I could only do my best to persuade Wenya. Although I don’t believe marriage is a must for women, you should give some consideration to the feelings of the elders.
Wenya had no choice but to reluctantly agree in the end,
“Fine, alright, you really… I’ll go. But don’t side with my mom in the future, I can’t believe you started matchmaking for me.”
Despite her complaints, Wenya did accompany me to the blind date the next morning.
However, upon seeing that the man was Su Peisheng, she turned around in anger to leave.
“Did I step in dog poop when I went out? If I knew it was him, I wouldn’t have come!”
But by then, he had already noticed us, waved us over and said, “Miss Song… this way!”
“Oh, so you’re here for a blind date too! I didn’t expect that, Mr. Su’s market value is that low?”
Wenya responded to him sharply.
Still with a smile on his face, Su Peisheng replied,
“In order to save you leftover women, I simply have to make a sacrifice.”
Seeing these two sitting together, I felt like I had completed my task and tried to make my escape.
“Sorry, you two carry on. I have to go to the office.”
Half an hour later, I hurried to the office.
In the president’s office, Gu Yuanzhou had been waiting for me for a long time.
He looked down at his watch,
“Just a reminder, you’re ten minutes late.”
“President Gu, I’ve already resigned!”
“I don’t approve!”
Gu Yuanzhou very assertively cut me off.
“President Gu… I don’t need your approval! Worst-case scenario, I just won’t take the salary.”
Gu Yuanzhou stared at me for a long time,
“If I were you, I would sit down and think carefully about what you just said. Do you think all you are losing is just the salary?”
The threat in Gu Yuanzhou’s words was evident. If I were a newbie in the job market, I would naturally be scared by him.
But I’m not, and after working with him for so many years, why would I be afraid of him?
I chuckled,
“Is that so, President Gu? Would you please tell me then, what else could I possibly lose?”
Gu Yuanzhou stared at me for a long time, and then he turned on his computer and played a video for me to watch!
After watching it, I finally understood. It turned out that Gu Yuanzhou had started investigating me a long time ago.
