He tilted towards just slightly.
“All I want is simple, I want you to tell about everything that has happened to you, any details, since the fire!”
I was silent.
He ant to confirm from that I was his wife.
From his eager eyes, I got the hint.
“Gu Yuanzhou, are you looking for to admit that I am Song Yun, to alleviate your guilt?”
Gu Yuanzhou was silent.
In his eyes, I saw his guilt.
Yes!
That is the look of guilt.
He sat on the sofa, smoked a pull, looked at for a while, and asked,
“So, are you going to accept this condition? There’s no loss for you!”
I laughed!
A cold laugh!
No matter what Gu Yuanzhou’s motives were, I could never admit to this anymore.
Ding Yinuo was right, I am not Song Yun anymore, I am Song Xiaoyun!
In any case, Gu Yuanzhou is now in the past.
“Gu Yuanzhou, your conditions are very strange! Why do you need to admit that I am not that person, what’s the point? To have admit that I am your departed wife, then break up with Ding Yinuo and remarry you? Do you think that’s possible?”
“You are my Ayun, my wife, you know that well.”
“No, I am not!”
“Really? If you’re not, then how do you explain not knowing about Song Xiaoyun’s past?”
“I believe you’ve read the diary, too! I have severe depression… While taking antidepressants, I am always in a daze, often have bouts of amnesia, and can’t even rember what I’ve done! What’s so strange about that? Don’t you have friends who are doctors? You could ask them, how many patients with depression are really clear-headed?”
At my question, Gu Yuanzhou was stumped.
“Then how do you explain your engagent to Ding Yinuo?”
“Oh, it’s very simple! After I developed depression, I have always been treated at Municipal Hospital. The several tis when I attempted suicide, it was Ding Yinuo who saved . He is my savior, I am just returning the favor with this engagent, is there anything wrong with that?”
I pieced all the details together, they made a watertight story.
Gu Yuanzhou, hearing this, laughed coldly.
“Fine, since you refuse to admit it, our deal is off!”
“So, are you going to give back the diary?”
“Since you’re not my Ayun, there’s no reason for us to have any kind of emotional bond. And since you’re engaged to Ding Yinuo, you are also my sworn enemy’s fiancee. There is neither sentintality nor common ground between us. So, why should I grant you any favors?”
“Gu Yuanzhou!!!”
“As I’ve said, when you’re ready to admit that you are Ayun, co talk to … I’ll give you a three-hour deadline!”
With that, Gu Yuanzhou left without looking back.
Before he left, he took the diary.
In the morning, I returned to Tianjiao Company.
Ding Yinuo was leading a group of clients on a tour around the company…
This well-dressed man, maneuvering amongst a group of investors, seed high-spirited and vigorous.
Sotis I think, the decision for Ding Xiao’s resignation was really well-tid. It was his decision that led Tianjiao Company to new heights.
In fact, amongst the two brothers, Ding Yinuo really proved his potential, like a dark horse.
From a distance, I took a glance at him, decided not to disturb him since he was busy with the clients, and went straight back to my office.
Right then, Jiang Yuyan also ca to find !
I reported on the progress of things with Ye ngyan and I nodded.
Things were going smoothly.
But, my mind was still preoccupied with Gu Yuanzhou’s threat, three hours!
I glanced at the ti, it had been an hour and twenty-five minutes since he made that statent.
Not long after Jiang Yuyan had left, surprisingly, Ding’s mother ca over.
“Auntie, why are you here?”
Ever since I got engaged to Ding Yinuo, Ding’s mother’s condition seed to have gotten better.
She had dyed her all-white hair chestnut at the last wedding, and she wore a cheongsam. She looked like a warm and caring mother again.
She ca in carrying a thermos. As soon as she walked in, she opened the thermos, and inside was an exquisitely designed porcelain stewing jar.
Upon opening the jar, the fragrance of chicken soup filled the air.
“Anuo said that you’ve been very busy lately. Young people should stay busy, but you have to take care of your health too! This is the chicken soup I made for you, to boost your energy! Rest assured, it’s from an organic, free-range chicken I bought from the countryside! It won’t make you fat.”
I was incredibly touched by Ding’s mother’s care, the feeling of being valued and cherished.
“Auntie, you’re not in the best health, you really shouldn’t be going through all this trouble! I can buy whatever I want to eat while I’m at the company, really, you don’t have to burden yourself.”
“Silly girl, why are you being so formal? You’re already engaged to Anuo, you’re going to be part of the Ding family, my child. It’s perfectly normal for a mother to cook for her child, isn’t it?”
“But, your health isn’t very good!”
“It’s fine! I’m not that decrepit yet! Anuo’s father is no longer around, and it’s uncomfortable for to just idle around at ho. I’m better off doing sothing and keeping myself busy. That way, I feel better!”
Ding’s mother sighed.
I didn’t know what else to say, so I sat down and earnestly drank the chicken soup.
The oily layer on the surface of the chicken soup had already been skimd off, and it had been supplented with Arican ginseng. It was indeed a nutritious delicacy.
The warm soup ward my body and soul.
As I was drinking the soup, Ding’s mother sat next to and chatted about things at ho.
“Anuo said that you’re the lucky charm of our Ding family. Ever since you joined Tianjiao Company, the stock has been rising, and the business is booming! He also said that eting you in this life is like finding his soulmate! It’s great, you guys are so in love, it makes happy… Unlike your brother and sister-in-law!”
I was slightly stunned, “Has older brother and sister-in-law not reconciled yet?”
“Ah, your sister-in-law has depression, that’s a difficult disease to cure, it’s psychological, she wants to commit suicide at the slightest provocation… Ah, although she’s a good child, this disease, Axiao’s life is pretty much over. What I’m most worried about is Ruirui. The doctor says she can’t spend too much ti with her mother. This disease, it can be infectious, especially harmful to a child’s ntal health.”
“Has sister-in-law gone to see a doctor?”
“No!”
“Why doesn’t she go? Staying at ho could make her condition worse!”
“I’ve discussed it with Axiao, and Axiao has also discussed it with his in-laws… You know, this disease isn’t a good one, gathering a bad reputation when word gets around. If outsiders were to know about it, it would probably damage the company’s reputation. Her in-laws also have a reputation to uphold, they don’t want to be criticized, and if news of this were to get out, Ruirui would be laughed at by her classmates, for having a ntally ill mother! I don’t have a choice! No one wants to deal with this!”
Ding’s mother didn’t finish her sentence, but I already heard the aning in her words…
