My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 205: 205 Dinner Party_1

Aside from Ding Yinuo and Su Peisheng, there were also a few of their friends who joined us.

Even though I was footing the bill, the venue was picked by Wenya.

So they got there first.

As soon as I walked in the door, I could see from afar the young girl sitting next to Su Peisheng.

She was wearing a white dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders. She had delicate features and, like Ye Mengyan, was the type of demure, delicate girl that inspired sympathy.

It’s these kinds of girls that are particularly good at winning over middle-aged men.

Their docility easily triggers a man’s strong instinct to protect.

The moment I saw Su Ziyan, I instantly understood the reason for Mei Ni’s pain.

However, unlike Ye Mengyan, this girl was incredibly arrogant, she liked to put on airs.

After Wenya introduced her to me, I initially intended to greet her, but she simply responded with an indifferent ‘oh’ before continuing to eat and drink.

Afterward, she lowered her head to text someone, often giggling, showing no desire to engage in conversation with me.

Soon, she got up to go to the restroom.

Wenya asked me in a low voice, “Why did you invite her to dinner?”

“Why are you asking so many questions?”

“Damn, do you have any idea of the hoops I had to jump through, using a mixture of deception and persuasion, to get Su Peisheng to invite her out? You wouldn’t know this, but this cousin of his has become quite important. She seems to have found herself a powerful backing, and it’s likely we won’t be able to invite her in the future.”

I responded with a light chuckle, “Weren’t you saying just a few days ago that Mei Ni’s hubby was philandering and that he had a mistress?”

Wenya’s eyes widened, “Could it be her?”

I took a sip of tea, and nodded, “Exactly!”

Wenya gasped in disbelief, “If I recall correctly, Mei Ni’s husband is over thirty, and this, this Su Ziyan, is just over twenty and still in university!”

“Hm.”

“Hold on, how do you know Su Ziyan is Su Peisheng’s cousin?”

“Oh, when I visited the courts for Su Peisheng’s lawsuit, I happened to see her there. I thought she was quite pretty at the time, so I asked reception who she was!”

Wenya nodded, “She’s indeed pretty! But, who would have thought, she’s become someone’s mistress! Although, this was kept so tightly under wraps that even the Su family didn’t know.”

I replied calmly, “The Su family surely knows, it’s just that Su Peisheng was embarrassed to tell you. After all, it’s not something to be proud of.”

“Damn, if he dares to do so, I will dump him tomorrow!”

As I continued to sip my tea, my mind was wondering how to deal with her.

If she were a daughter from a poor background, I could easily buy her off with money.

But the Su family is quite well off!

The parents on both sides should have decent status and wealth!

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to me. I turned towards Su Peisheng,

“Miss Su is your second uncle’s daughter, right?”

“Yes! My second uncle has two daughters, Ziyan is the eldest!”

“If I remember correctly, your second uncle is quite influential, right?”

“He’s just a professor at the University of Science and Technology  ”

As I was listening to this, I looked up to see Su Ziyan walking out of the ladies’ room.

She was still on the phone, a happy smile across her face, “Honey, just wait a little while longer, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up, she turned to Su Peisheng and said, “Brother, I have something to do, I’ll be leaving first.”

Seeing her about to leave, I quickly stopped her, “Miss Su, please hold on!”

Su Ziyan looked at me dismissively, her arms crossed, she impatiently said, “Who are you?”

“Ah, Miss Su, I noticed you look a bit ill, you must be under the weather. I have a doctor here, he can take your pulse on the spot!”

I quickly pulled Ding Yinuo into the conversation.

Ding Yinuo looked forced into action. Although he was reluctant, he acquiesced on my behalf, putting on a mystical guru charade.

“There’s a touch of black in your complexion, having your pulse checked won’t hurt!”

Su Ziyan recognised Ding Yinuo and knew that he was a well-respected doctor. After hearing his words, she hesitated momentarily and then dutifully sat down, extending her arm for Ding Yinuo to take her pulse.

A few minutes later, Ding Yinuo gave her the verdict, “You must have been staying up late recently, causing both your vital energy and blood to be deficient. You should eat more dates and Angelica sinensis in the coming days.”

“Oh, alright, thank you, Dr Ding!”

Not wanting to stay any longer, Su Ziyan left promptly after she finished speaking.

Once Su Ziyan was long gone, I turned to ask Ding Yinuo, “Is she pregnant?”

Ding Yinuo shook his head!

A sense of joy welled up inside me. As I’d suspected,

It turned out this girl wasn’t pregnant at all. She must have faked the pregnancy to ruin Mei Ni’s marriage, how abominable.

Wenya turned to Su Peisheng, “Your sister is quite ill-mannered, she was very rude to Ayun!”

Su Peisheng shrugged, “She was spoiled during her childhood, she doesn’t even take me into consideration!”

“Tsk, tsk, if a girl isn’t brought up properly, when she grows up, she’ll be a problem in other people’s families.”

Wenya shook her head disapprovingly, then asked me again, “Think you can handle her?”

“I should be able to! But, I do need a small favor from Su Peisheng.”

“Alright, whatever you need, just say it. It’s only right that he helps! Right now, us helping you is the same as helping his good buddy, Manager Ding!”

With the support of these good buddies, the situation didn’t seem as complicated anymore.

With my current ability, I should be able to handle it.

It wasn’t until three days later that I met with Gu Yuanzhou again.

It was the time of the Hong Kong Fashion Exhibition.

We ran into each other at the entrance just before the conference started.

He was wearing a black shirt, giving me a cold look.

“I heard that it was you who brought back Mrs. Shen?”

I knew what he was referring to, Mrs. Shen, the Chief Financial Officer. It was indeed me who brought her back.

“Yes!”

“You brought back five old employees in total!”

“Correct! What does President Gu want to say?”

“I just wanted to let you know, they have all been fired by me today!”

I was taken aback. These were old employees of Zhenyi Company. The reason I’d brought them back was that they were loyal to the company.

Well, it’s ironic that as soon as I leave, Gu Yuanzhou fires all of them.

How ironic.

At this moment, I realized how wise it was for me to leave Zhenyi Company.

Gu Yuanzhou’s arrogance meant that our thoughts would never be on the same wavelength.

“Is it Ms. Ye who suggested you do this?”

“That doesn’t matter. What matters is, I wanted to remind you that you’ve already lost! Believe me, Tianjiao will be bankrupt soon, Ding Yinuo’s nothing more than a desperate man struggling on his deathbed.”

There’s a hint of smug satisfaction of the victor on Gu Yuanzhou’s face.

I was silent for a few seconds, then slowly walked up to him, “Gu Yuanzhou, you tried to steal Mei Ni from me, did you get her order?”

Gu Yuanzhou was still very confident, “It’s not stealing, she was originally a customer of Zhenyi’s! And she will continue to be one in the future!”

I chuckled and pulled out a contract from my bag, pointing to Mei Ni’s signature on it and said to Gu Yuanzhou.

“Apologies, but from now on, she isn’t!”
