My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 184: 184: Feeling Nauseous Like Having Eaten a Fly_1

Gu Yuanzhou slightly curled his lips,

“Woman, be content!”

“Thank you, President Gu!”

“For what?”

I did not answer him.

I simply picked up my wine glass, gently clinked his glass, and then drained it all down in one swig.

Among the men bantering happily, Gu Yuanzhou seemed like a king. At this moment, my emotions had hit rock bottom.

I finally understood that seeking fairness from him was impossible.

He was always making excuses for Ye Mengyan.

The so-called search for truth was nothing more than a well-crafted illusion meant to befuddle me so that Ye Mengyan could escape.

“Thank you, President Gu, for helping me see the truth about my own heart and your true character!”

Upon finishing this sentence, I put down my glass and walked away.

Gu Yuanzhou stood up and called out to me,

“Where are you going?”

“I think it’s time for me to leave.”

“What do you mean by ‘leave’?”

Gu Yuanzhou became a little irritated. After all, in front of so many friends, I didn’t give him any face. This made it hard for him to keep his dignity.

In the past, I cared about his mood, his face, his thoughts.

Every time there was a banquet or business social event, I would help him plan, create strategies, do research, and understand the preferences of clientele.

I prepared everything for him

From now on, I would no longer care about these things.

Facing his irritation, I remained calm and indifferent.

“I mean exactly what I said!”

“Are you leaving this dinner party, or leaving the company?”

“Both!”

I straightened my back. When I answered him, it was decisive and resolute.

“I offer you such good conditions, and you still want to leave?”

I glanced at him calmly, then turned and walked away resolutely.

He continued, “As for the proposal against the Ding Family, if you’re unwilling to do it, I’ve already found someone else who can. Trust me, within half a year, the Ding Family will be gone. Think it over.”

I could feel Gu Yuanzhou’s sharp gaze piercing my back like a knife.

But I did not stop walking.

As soon as I stepped out the door, my phone started to ring. Looking closely, it was a call from Ding Yinuo.

“Are you not answering my calls again?”

“Sorry, I didn’t see it! I was busy.”

“Come back, someone is waiting for you!”

Ding Yinuo’s voice came out from the phone, deep and warm.

It was as if a beam of warm sunlight was shining down from the clouds, dispelling much of the unhappiness in my heart.

“Return where?”

“Xishan Residence!”

“Alright, I’ll be right there!”

“Do you have any luggage? Do you need me to pick you up?”

I was taken aback by his words for a few seconds and immediately started to tear up.

How did this man know that I was going to leave Gu Yuanzhou and even bring my suitcase?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

His voice was filled with a touch of anxious worry.

“Uh, no need, I can come by myself.”

After hanging up, I hailed a taxi to Xishan Residence.

Along the way, I watched the scenery retreat behind the car window.

It felt like the past between Gu Yuanzhou and me. I knew, whether it was love or hate, all of this would become the past forever.

Half an hour later, the car slowly arrived at the entrance of Xishan Residence.

From afar, I saw a slender figure lingering by the door.

He was simply dressed in a grey T-shirt with a light jacket over the top, and his thick black hair casually drooped on his forehead.

A very simple home outfit.

Compared to the lab coat he usually wore, this seemed much more approachable.

It was Ding Yinuo. I knew he was waiting for me.

He checked his phone intermittently, and sometimes looked into the distance.

When the taxi stopped, he quickly approached. As soon as I got out of the car, he hugged me tightly.

It was as if he had missed me terribly during the brief separation.

Going a little too far, he pressed his face against my cheek.

I felt the warmth of a grown man.

After a while, he let go, “Where is your luggage?”

I smiled at him, “What luggage?”

“Aren’t you leaving Zhenyi?”

I stared into his eyes.

Under the light, the man’s black eyes were incredibly clear.

I slightly curled my lips,

“Did I say I was leaving Zhenyi?”

“Knowing Gu Yuanzhou’s character, he will definitely find ways to absolve himself. So, you will certainly get angry and leave.”

“It seems, you know me very well?”

He softly rubbed my forehead and dragged me into the house.

There were many people inside.

Everyone was bustling about preparing the hot pot and the atmosphere was warm and lively.

“Why are we eating hot pot?”

I asked with a smile.

Wenya quickly came up and grabbed my hand,

“Well, Manager Ding said he would offer you a celebration banquet to say farewell to the garbage. From now on, break off the relationship with him.”

“What ‘celebration banquet’, this is called a ‘new beginning’ banquet!”

Su Peisheng corrected her as he gave Wenya a piece of meatball.

Jian Jing held a chair for me to sit down and gave me a glass of juice.

“Ayun! Can you really give up on Gu Yuanzhou?”

I took a sip of juice and calmly said, “What I can’t let go of was never Gu Yuanzhou. Instead, it was the Zhenyi Company, and… the warm moments that once belonged to the children and me.”

“Ayun, I’ve not known you for long, but I know that you have a soft heart! Gu Yuanzhou is exploiting this to manipulate you.”

Wenya sighed.

At this point, Ding Yinuo raised his glass, “From now on, let’s no longer mention the past. Cheers!”

“Come on, cheers! Don’t stop drinking until we’re all drunk tonight!”

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.

“Jian Jing, there’s no drinking for you! Have the juice instead!”

“Sure!”

After the toast, everyone started to eat and chat.

Wenya was curious about the details of my recent encounter with Gu Yuanzhou. When the topic of the motorcycle rider came up, Wenya angrily cursed,

“Damn man, he must have bribed the rider with money, so all the evidence got washed away.”

Jian Jing said, “It’s a shame. Old Ma died for no reason. Sigh.”

I felt guilty for Old Ma’s death. I failed to protect him, so no matter what, I had to send Ye Mengyan to jail. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to Old Ma.

In the middle of the meal, a special guest arrived.

The man in the suit turned out to be Ding Yinuo’s older brother, Ding Xiao.

“Well, it seems I came at the right time. Just in time for hot pot.”

“Manager Ding, please have a seat!”

Su Peisheng quickly stood up to offer his seat.

Ding Xiao smoothly sat across from me and was particularly enthusiastic towards me, “Xiaosong is also here!”

“Hello, Manager Ding!”

“No need to be formal, it’s just us. Everyone, have what you want. We’re all family here. Come on  ”

Ding Xiao now is the head of the Ding Family and holds major authority in the company. Even within the Ding Family, he has a certain level of authority.

But right now, he’s being very friendly

Seeing Ding Xiao, I couldn’t help but think about the proposal Gu Yuanzhou gave me. Part of it was against Ding Xiao.

That was Ding Xiao’s Achilles heel. Once Gu Yuanzhou made his move, Ding Xiao would have almost no chance of turning the tables.
