Chapter 236: Test_1
Gu Yuanzhou’s all-black, piano-finished phone lay flat on the table, its screen alive with a flashing call.
I glanced at it unintentionally and saw the na Xun Yixuan marked on it.
So, he truly was incorrigible! He was still in contact with Xun Yixuan. Was he trying to find sothing to use against ?
Seeing staring at his phone screen, he hung up the call imdiately, then very cautiously put his phone back in his pocket.
Pointing across the table, he said,
“Sit!”
I pulled out a chair and sat across from him.
Gu Yuanzhou snapped his fingers,
“Waiter, we’re ready to order!”
The waiter ca over and handed him the exquisite nu, which he then passed to ,
“You can order anything you want!”
I was completely uninterested in the nu and didn’t take it from him.
“Gu Yuanzhou, I’m not in the mood for dinner. Let’s get straight to business!”
Gu Yuanzhou calmly pulled out a docunt from his bag and handed it to .
“According to the latest data, Tianjiao Company has snatched almost sixteen percent of our old custors! Your actions are highly inappropriate!”
“Gu Yuanzhou, as the boss of Zhenyi Company, you should use your intelligence to keep custors, instead of using these underhanded tactics against . After all, the market is limited. Whoever has the better, higher quality product—custors will choose them!”
Gu Yuanzhou held his glass of red wine, seemingly unphased, his deep eyes locked onto .
After a long while, he curled his lips into a smile.
“Do you think if I used those underhanded thods, you’d still be alive to argue with ?”
I felt a chill radiating from the depths of Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes.
In truth, Gu Yuanzhou has always had an intense presence around him.
In the past, when he was still doing business with my Uncle Song Shixiong, I could sense the malicious aura around him.
Perhaps it’s because as we fell in love and got married, I let my guard down as we grew more familiar and intimate, and so I couldn’t detect that malicious aura anymore.
But now, after seeing his true colors, I can feel it again—stronger than ever.
“Gu Yuanzhou, just tell straight up what you want!”
Gu Yuanzhou did not respond to my words, but instead, asked another question.
“When did you and Xun Yixuan break up? What month, which day, and for what reason?”
His question made wary. Why would he suddenly ask sothing like this?
I gave him another careful look.
“President Gu, your mory is really bad. Isn’t it you who brought Xun Yixuan to my engagent ceremony to make a fuss? So how couldn’t you know when Xun Yixuan and I had broken up?”
Gu Yuanzhou picked up a finely-crafted lighter from the table and started flipping it back and forth in his hand.
The restaurant was still located by the water.
Sitting here, you could see through the glass window where the water t the sky, a blanket of stars.
At this ti, the restaurant was almost empty.
Just Gu Yuanzhou and .
And one waiter!
The dim, elegant lights did not expose the darkness in our eyes).
His strategies were far more complex than I could have imagined.
He didn’t answer , he didn’t even play along with my topic.
“Do you know what Xun Yixuan’s parents’ nas are?”
“How ridiculous, why would I bother to learn my ex’s parents’ nas?”
“What was the na of your high school class teacher?”
“Gu Yuanzhou, do you think I would tell you? You are asking so many personal questions. If I told everything, wouldn’t you use them against ?”
“Which primary school did you and Xun Yixuan attend as children?”
“Why don’t you ask him about it?”
“You might not know what other people’s parents are nad, but you must know how many brothers your father has or how many sisters your mother has!”
I was slightly taken aback, Gu Yuanzhou had asked five questions.
Each question was about my identity as Song Xiaoyun.
In fact, I really didn’t know these details.
I only inherited Song Xiaoyun’s body, not her mories. I don’t know about her past.
But the crux of the matter is, why is Gu Yuanzhou digging into this?
“Gu Yuanzhou, if you’re not hiding anything, then I’m leaving!”
Gu Yuanzhou pulled out a blue notebook from his bag and placed it on the table.
“I found this in Song Xiaoyun’s rental house! It’s her diary… do you know what she wrote inside?”
“I don’t care what she wrote, this is mine, you have no right to take it!”
I reached out to snatch it.
Unexpectedly, he was quicker and grabbed my wrist.
His strong hand clamped on mine like a vise, pinning down firmly.
I couldn’t move.
Both of us were in a deadlock.
“Gu Yuanzhou, you’re shaless! You stole my things!!”
I was furious, yet he chuckled.
“Your things? They are not yours, they belong to Song Xiaoyun, and you… are not Song Xiaoyun!”
“Gu Yuanzhou, what are you blabbering about?”
“Fine, if you really are Song Xiaoyun, then tell , what’s written in this diary?”
“Let go of , and I’ll tell you!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou released his grip.
I didn’t waste ti arguing with him, I grabbed the notebook from the table and bolted out of the restaurant.
I ran as fast as I could, using all the strength I had. Even when I was doing track and field in school, I had never exerted myself like this.
However, to my surprise, he didn’t chase .
I didn’t dare to stop, I hailed a taxi by the road. Only after getting in the car did I notice my phone was ringing.
It was an unread text ssage from Gu Yuanzhou, saying only two words, “Open it!”
I hurriedly opened the blue notebook, only to find all its pages blank, except for a few words written on the front page.
They were written by Gu Yuanzhou.
If you want the real diary, co back to find !
Furious, I imdiately instructed the driver, “Sir, please turn around.”
About fifteen minutes later, I returned to the floating restaurant.
Gu Yuanzhou was still sitting in the sa place, squinting at .
He hadn’t moved an inch.
Seeing return, a smirk curled his lips.
“I told you, if you want to play for real, you can’t beat !”
“Where is the real diary?”
He looked at ,
“Aren’t you curious about what terminal disease Song Xiaoyun had?”
“Gu Yuanzhou, are you trying to trick into saying sothing? Let tell you, I’m already on my guard against you, you can’t get anything out of .”
Gu Yuanzhou nonchalantly finished his cigarette.
“Isn’t it strange for soone not to know what kind of disease they have!”
“What are you talking about?”
“You are not Song Xiaoyun! You know nothing about her!”
“Where’s the diary?”
He looked at intently again,
“Do you rember when Song Xiaoyun first started working at Zhenyi Company? Wasn’t she always bullied by other staff?”
I thought hard, my mory of the past was fuzzy. I just rembered that Song Xiaoyun back then didn’t dress well, wore glasses, and was sowhat inattentive. I thought she was just a newcor to the workplace who wasn’t adapting well to the new environnt, and didn’t think much about it.
Now that I think about it, it indeed feels odd!
“Gu Yuanzhou, what the hell are you trying to say?”
Gu Yuanzhou gazed at again, and with underlying significance, said, “Song Xiaoyun is already dead!”
