Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the banquet table was already empty.
Only Gu Yuanzhou was left in the private room.
Yet he seemed still in a drinking mood, lifting his glass, one drink after another.
âPresident Gu, I have a friend who is the top prize winner of this years TIF Fashion Design Competition. I would like to recommend her for an internship at our company. What do you think?â
As Gu Yuanzhouâs assistant, introducing one or two interns to him was nothing out of the ordinary.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou put down his glass and slowly turned his gaze towards Ye Mengyan.
I remember seeing Ye Mengyan at the company last time.
At that time, Gu Yuanzhou was scolding Luo Zizhou, telling him not to let Ye Mengyan come again.
This time, the two of them were together face-to-face. I wanted to see how they could conceal their feelings.
Gu Yuanzhou did not speak, but Ye Mengyan seemed quite nervous.
She stood awkwardly in place, her hands fidgeting together. The look in her eyes as she looked at Gu Yuanzhou was full of hope.
Obviously, she wanted to walk her own path.
Just then, the sudden ringing of my cellphone interrupted my thoughts.
âExcuse me, President Gu, I need to take this call.â 1 hurriedly picked up my phone and walked out.
The call was from Shen Yishu.
When I returned to the private room after finishing the call.
I found Gu Yuanzhou already drunk and passed out on the table. âUh⊠Xiaoyun, President Gu is drunk. What should we do?â
âItâs fine, letâs take him home!â
Ye Mengyan hesitated for a moment, then she agreed and helped me support the drunken Gu Yuanzhou out of the room.
I drove the car, with Ye Mengyan supporting Gu Yuanzhou in the back seat.
Along the way, I frequently glanced at Ye Mengyan through the rear view
mirror.
Gu Yuanzhouâs cheeks were flushed and his eyes tightly closed. He appeared to have fallen asleep, leaning against the seatback.
Ye Mengyan sat next to him, but maintained a sensible distance.
Besides occasionally turning her head to look at Gu Yuanzhou, she made no other moves.
From the hotel to Gu Yuanzhouâs residence, during the forty minutes, the two of them did not show any intimate gestures. Not at all like a couple.
Under normal circumstances, if two people who had intimate relations sat together, they could not possibly be this calm.
Could it be because I was there, they were on guard?
Indeed, although I was Gu Yuanzhouâs secretary, I was after all an outsider. A cunning old fox like Gu Yuanzhou would never leave any handles for others to catch.
The car stopped at a red light.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Ye Mengyan asked.
I turned my head to look at Gu Yuanzhou and then at Ye Mengyan.
âUh, 1 donât know where President Gu e s home is.â fđeeđ°đČđnđšvđđč.com
The villa in Golden Bay had become ruins after the fire.
Recently, as far as I know, Gu Yuanzhou was living in the company for a while. There was a lounge behind the CEOâs office that was suitable for daily rest.
There was also a time when he was living at a hotel.
Theoretically, I should take him to the hotel at the moment, but I was extra cautiousâŠ
If Gu Yuanzhou had a mistress outside, he must certainly have a secret place to meet her, right?
Ye Mengyan turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou and softly called him twice,
âPresident Gu! â
But it was no use. Gu Yuanzhou was far too drunk.
She called him but he didnât react.
âIn that case⊠drive forward towards East Changan StreetâŠâ
Guided by Ye Mengyanâs instructions, I parked the car in a secluded high-end residential complex.
Maple Mansion No. 99!
Staring at this house number, I fell into deep thought.
All the properties here are high-end villas, beautifully landscaped, filled with blooming wisteria flowers that smell heavenly.
Unlike the villas in Golden Bay, the winding paths here cater to tranquility and charm; it really is the perfect place to keep a mistress.
I racked my brain, wondering when Gu Yuanzhou purchased such a house.
In the end, I couldnât recall a thing.
During my moment of stupor, Ye Mengyan had already helped Gu Yuanzhou out of the car.
âXiaoyun, come, give me a hand!â
It appears Ye Mengyan is quite familiar with this placeâŠ
Moreover, while she helped Gu Yuanzhou enter the house, she confidently input the password for the electronic lock on the gate.
After the door opened, Ye Mengyan guided Gu Yuanzhou into the bedroom.
I walked into the restroom, silently splashed a handful of cold water on my face.
A few minutes later, Ye Mengyan came out of the room. When she looked at me, her face showed a hint of guilt.
âXiaoyun, I know, you must have many doubts. Sit down, letâs have a good talk! â
It seems Ye Mengyan was preparing to reveal the truth to me.
I nodded and sat down, while Ye Mengyan effortlessly opened a cupboard and took out a pack of tea leaves. She brewed the tea and handed it over to me.
âYou can have some tea first!â
âLooking at how familiar you are with this place, did you happen to live here before?â
Gu Yuanzhou had bought a house behind my back, had secretly interacted with Ye Mengyan behind my backâŠ
I dared not imagine how much Gu Yuanzhou had hidden from me during our marriage?
In order to not make Ye Mengyan suspicious, I had to pretend to stay calm on the surface.
âActually, I knew President Gu from before.â Ye Mengyan sighed.
âOh? I see. So, 1 was worrying about nothing!â
âNo, no, itâs not like that, Xiaoyun. I appreciate your good intentions. Actually, even though I know President Gu, he wouldnât allow me to work at Zhenyi
Group.â
As soon as Ye Mengyan finished speaking, she sighed deeply.
She plucked a leaf from a potted plant and idly tore it apart.
âThen, you two⊠â
âSigh, didnât I tell you before? President Gu and his wife Sister Song were the sponsors for my education! Actually, I had some private interactions with President GuâŠ
Ye Mengyan struggled to say.
I remained silent.
Actually, this was within my expectation. After seeing Gu Yuanzhouâs supplementary bank card in Ye Mengyanâs dorm room last time, I had already suspected this.
âXiaoyun, Iâm truly sorry. I previously didnât tell you the truth. This was because President Gu asked for absolute secrecy and not divulge anything to anyone.â
1 wondered, âDid he really say that?â
âYes. You see, his status is quite significant. If his competitors found out about certain things, they would use it as leverage to attack him. Moreover, with everything happening in his family currently, if the media came to know about his private interactions with me, it would definitely be portrayed scandalously. In fact, President Gu is also very troubled. Heâs faced with troubles everywhere, and his public opinion is not favorable.â
Having said that, Ye Mengyan took out some documents from her bag.
These were recent negative news about Gu Yuanzhou and Zhenyi Company. Ye Mengyan had collected them from the Internet, printed them, and compiled them into a document.
It was obvious that she cared more about Gu Yuanzhou than I had expected.
A coughing sound came from the room.
Ye Mengyan immediately stood up, âYou wait here for a moment!â
âAlright!
I nodded.
Ye Mengyan poured a glass of warm water and brought it into the bedroom.
She was very careful, always shutting the door behind her.
I canât see anything from the outside.
My mind was in turmoil!
