âWhat are you doing here?â
Gu Yuanzhouâs gaze was significantly imposing, catching sight immediately of Wu Jun sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Keeping my calm and collected, I explained,
âI didnât want to disturb you and Miss Yeâs alone time, so I came upstairs to stargaze. I happened to run into Aunt Wu and we had some snacks since we had nothing to do.â
Gu Yuanzhou didnât seem suspicious and instructed Ye Mengyan directly,
âTake your Aunt to her room to sleep!â
âOkay!â
Ye Mengyan got up, woke Wu Jun, and then helped her downstairs to sleep.
I quickly cleaned up the beer and snacks on the table and put them in a garbage bag.
I was wondering, as smart as Gu Yuanzhou is, he would probably guess that I was testing Wu Jun, right?
I was about to head downstairs after cleaning up when he suddenly grabbed my arm and pressed me into the dark corner.
He suddenly asked out loud:
âIs there something you want to ask me?â
His question was setting a trap.
If I were to blurt out a question, wouldnât I be revealing my purpose? Iâm not that stupid.
After thinking for a moment, I counter-asked,
âPresident Gu, do you feel thereâs something I need to ask you?â
He then led the topic,
âWu Jun used to be my familyâs nanny. You can learn a lot about me from her.â
âOh, thereâs no need for that trouble, Miss Ye tells me a lot about you.â
âReally? What did Ye Mengyan say about me?â
He stood tall in front of me, giving me a strong sense of oppression.
His dark eyes were extremely deep.
Like a hunter lurking in the darkness.
I responded carefully:
âMiss Ye told me some⌠love stories about the two of you⌠Very romantic and touching.â
âYour tone is off! Are you questioning me?â
âHmm, indeed, I do feel a bit uneasy⌠â
I knew well enough not to offend Gu Yuanzhou. fđżeđ˛đđ˛bnđ¨đđl.com
Maybe it was the beer I just had, or that I couldnât stand the anger in my heart anymore.
I confronted him directly.
âYouâve been with Miss Ye for four years, which means youâve been betraying Mrs. Gu for four years. On the surface, you may seem deeply in love with Mrs. Gu, but who would have thought that you betrayed her four years ago? Mr. Gu, you truly are a heartless womanizer!â
Gu Yuanzhouâs eyes were more dangerous and the air around me started to feel chilly.
He growled lowly,
âYou know nothing, you understand nothing!â
âReally? So your relationship with Ye Mengyan isnât purely platonic, right? Sigh, looking at all youâve done for Mrs. Gu online, people would be moved to tears and heartbroken. I really thought Mr. Gu was a man of feeling. To think that you instead are heartless and fickle. If Mrs. Gu were watching from heaven, she would definitely cry her eyes out.â
Gu Yuanzhou was like an angry beast, suddenly choking me by the throat.
As his grip tightened, I felt myself being lifted off the ground and pressed against the wall.
The force was enough to suffocate me.
I wasnât scared!
I didnât beg for mercy!
I just opened my eyes wide and smiled at him.
To a person who has died once, what more is there to fear!?
For me, death would mean reuniting with my children. Living, on the other hand, meant a relentless struggle with Gu Yuanzhou.
âMr. Gu, donâtâŚ.â
Ye Mengyanâs cry of alarm came from behind.
It seemed like Gu Yuanzhou woke up from his dream and let go of me.
Finally, I slipped out of his grasp and fell to the ground. I was gasping for breath, touching my painful throat that had been strangled by him.
âMr. Gu, did Xiaoyun make you angry? Please donât be, sheâŚshe seems to be drunk and she lost her cool.â
Ye Mengyan kept pleading for me.
How ridiculous, Iâve come to the point where I need my love rival to plead for me to survive under Gu Yuanzhouâs hands.
Gu Yuanzhouâs face was still a bit twisted. He stared at me for a few seconds, then turned around and left.
At this point, Ye Mengyan helped me up from the ground,
âXiaoyun, are you okay?â
I shook my head, leaned against the wall, and slowly caught my breath,
âI am going to bed. Good night!â
âHmm!â
Ye Mengyan stood still for a few seconds, then walked into Gu Yuanzhouâs bedroom.
Behind me, I heard Ye Mengyanâs gentle voice.
âBig Brother Gu, your head hurts, doesnât it? Let me relax you a bit, okay?â
I slowly walked back to my bedroom and closed the door.
In the darkness, I kept thinking about Gu Yuanzhouâs expression earlier, there was a moment when he seemed to have murderous intent towards me.
So, when we go to the company tomorrow, will he still keep me around?
I couldnât sleep.
I heard noises coming from upstairs.
Something fell to the ground, mixed with Ye Mengyanâs scream.
And the sound of a chair falling over.
These two people, were they intimate or were they arguing?
I walked into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and noticed a distinctly bruised mark on my neck.
I quickly grabbed some ice to apply to the markâŚ
After a long while, I turned off the light, took my phone, and snapped a picture of the starry sky outside, then posted it on social media.
The text accompanying the picture read:
Hell is empty, the devils are here on earth!
After posting, I went to bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when I awoke, it was already light outside.
I got up, opened the door, and saw Ye Mengyan cleaning up the room next door. Wu Jun was nowhere to be found.
âWhereâs your aunt?â
âBig Brother Gu took her away last night.â
âWhere did he take her?â
âI donât know. He said it was a safe place!â
Ha, good for them, Gu Yuanzhou, you moved fast!
Fearful of being found out, he quickly disposed of her.
I asked again:
âDid you and Gu Yuanzhou argue last night? There was a lot of noise, I could feel it even downstairs.â
Ye Mengyan blushed, hesitated for a while, and finally shook her head,
âNo, we didnât argue, he was just in a bad mood and knocked some things over.â
âDid your proposal last night successful?â
Ye Mengyan shyly nodded, âHmm!â
âCongratulations, when will you guys get the certificate?â
âHe said thereâs no rush! We will discuss the marriage after I graduate from my studies in France.â
âBut getting a marriage license does not affect your studies, does it?â
âHe said itâs not the time to get married yet, the media is watching him.â
I nodded thoughtfully. It seems he still cares about his image, afraid others would know about his swift romance.
Or could he be fearful that his infidelity would be revealed?
âDo you believe him?â
âYes, I do!â
Looking into Ye Mengyanâs clear eyes, I didnât know what to say.
But by this time, Iâd already gotten the information I wanted from Wu Junâs mouth.
Packed my bag, and headed out the door to see if I could meet the âthemâ she mentioned.
I got into my little BMW, and as soon as I reached a red light, I was stopped by a blue sports car.
I leaned out of the window and yelled at him, âDing Yinuo, what the hell are you doing, this early in the morning?â
In fact, I had noticed as soon as I drove out of Maple Mansion that Ding Yinuoâs car seemed to have been parked across the street for a long time, and the moment I stepped out he started to follow me.
But I was worried about being caught on camera, so I ignored him and drove straight to the intersection.
Ding Yinuo waved his phone, âGet out!!!â
