The hand that was tightly holding mine slowly let go.
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 n bantering happily, Gu Yuanzhou seed like a king. At this mont, my emotions had hit rock bottom.
I finally understood that seeking fairness from him was impossible.
He was always making excuses for Ye ngyan.
The so-called search for truth was nothing more than a well-crafted illusion ant to befuddle so that Ye ngyan could escape.
“Thank you, President Gu, for helping 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 ,
“Where are you going?”
“I think it’s ti for to leave.”
“What do you an by ‘leave’?”
Gu Yuanzhou beca 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 ti 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 an 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 soone else who can. Trust , 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.”
“Co back, soone is waiting for you!”
Ding Yinuo’s voice ca 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 to pick you up?”
I was taken aback by his words for a few seconds and imdiately 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 co 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 . I knew, whether it was love or hate, all of this would beco 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 ho outfit.
Compared to the lab coat he usually wore, this seed much more approachable.
It was Ding Yinuo. I knew he was waiting for .
He checked his phone intermittently, and sotis looked into the distance.
When the taxi stopped, he quickly approached. As soon as I got out of the car, he hugged tightly.
It was as if he had missed 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 very well?”
He softly rubbed my forehead and dragged 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 ca 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 atball.
Jian Jing held a chair for to sit down and gave 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 monts that once belonged to the children and .”
“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 ntion the past. Cheers!”
“Co 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 ca 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 sha. 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 ngyan to jail. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to Old Ma.
In the middle of the al, a special guest arrived.
The man in the suit turned out to be Ding Yinuo’s older brother, Ding Xiao.
“Well, it seems I ca at the right ti. Just in ti for hot pot.”
“Manager Ding, please have a seat!”
Su Peisheng quickly stood up to offer his seat.
Ding Xiao smoothly sat across from and was particularly enthusiastic towards , “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. Co 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 . 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.
