A shiver ran down my spine, and my face imdiately turned grave.
I fell silent.
Instead, Gu Yuanzhou advanced towards , closing the distance. He took a step forward, extending his hand to squeeze my small chin.
“As long as you admit that you are Ayun, I will save him!”
I knew, Gu Yuanzhou was scheming against , again.
To be precise, he was trying to trick .
He used Song Shixiong’s crisis to test if I was really Ayun.
I saw through his plot and naturally refused to fall for it. I cald myself down and promptly pushed away his hand.
“Mr. Gu, I’ll say it again, Mr. Song is your wife’s uncle. If you don’t save him and sothing were to happen to him, what face would you have to face your wife?”
I simply tossed out these words and turned back to go inside.
Subsequently, I called out for Wu Lijuan,
“Aunt, your savior is here!”
Wu Lijuan was at this mont kneeling before the ancestral tablets. When she heard that Gu Yuanzhou was there, she quickly stood up and walked towards us.
“Where is he?”
“Oh, he’s outside on the phone.”
Just as I had imagined, Gu Yuanzhou had no intention of coming inside.
As I led Wu Lijuan to the door, Gu Yuanzhou actually turned toward his car, as if he intended to leave.
I quickly shouted to stop him.
“President Gu, you forgot sothing.”
At this sound, Gu Yuanzhou stopped and turned to look. Wu Lijuan, on the other hand, quickly walked towards him and grabbed his hand.
“Yuanzhou, you ca at the right ti! Let tell you, your uncle is in big trouble. Co in, I’ll tell you.”
Now that they’d t, Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t refuse. He could only follow Wu Lijuan inside.
However, after entering the house, his gaze upon beca even more intimidating.
I could tell, he was sizing up, observing .
“Yuanzhou, it’s good that you’re here. What should we do about your uncle’s situation? I’m old, I’m useless now, ah, if not for having you by my side, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Wu Lijuan still looked worried.
Gu Yuanzhou’s reaction this ti was far from any of his previous ones.
I had seen that he was usually very affectionate towards Wu Lijuan, and would try his best to help her whenever possible.
But this ti, he was just listening quietly. He didn’t have any expression on his face and he didn’t offer any words of assurance.
“Yuanzhou, do you think your uncle can survive this crisis?”
“I’ll make a few calls to find out!”
“Okay, good, you must find out where he is.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t leave. He imdiately took out his mobile and made calls to a few of his friends.
I could tell that his attitude was actually very perfunctory.
After asking around, he finally delivered so news to Wu Lijuan.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help this ti. My friend on the border side said that this is not just a matter of the mine accident. It also involves so gang disputes in the D Country! I can’t intervene, as you know, I’ve stayed away from things like this for many years.”
Shockingly, Gu Yuanzhou outrightly rejected Wu Lijuan’s plea for help; this situation had stunned .
Wu Lijuan was completely at a loss about what to do next.
“Ah, even you are unable to co up with a solution, what are we supposed to do now?”
“Dealing with foreign incidents like this, even calling the police would be of no use! I’m sorry!”
Even though Gu Yuanzhou was uttering words of apology, there was absolutely no trace of regret in his eyes.
“That’s it then, Xiaosong, do you have any ideas?”
I quickly rose to comfort her,
“Aunt, I have already contacted my friend at the border, and he’s checking right now. As soon as I receive any news, I’ll inform you imdiately. For now, why don’t you go rest? If anything were to happen to you due to staying up all night, there won’t be anyone left in your family, which would complicate things even more. You must take care of your health now…”
After hearing my assurances, Wu Lijuan managed to calm herself down a bit and went back to her room to rest.
At this point, it was already half past ten at night.
My phone rang. It was a call from Ding Yinuo.
I went to the door to answer the call.
“Ayun, have you gone ho yet?”
It seed like Ding Yinuo had ford a habit of confirming whether I was ho every evening.
Or maybe he had gotten used to my presence and company after that engagent ceremony which I didn’t think was very important.
“Hmm, not yet, I’m caught up with sothing outside!”
“It’s so late, why don’t you hurry back ho?”
“In a bit, I’ll head back once I finish dealing with this.”
“Have you run into so trouble?”
“Yes, I’m at…”
I turned back to look at Gu Yuanzhou. He was leisurely sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette, maintaining so distance from .
I softly relayed Song Shixiong’s situation to Ding Yinuo.
After he listened, Ding Yinuo said,
“Should I co over to the Song family’s residence?”
“No need, it won’t make much of a difference. The key issue now is Mr. Song’s problem overseas. If you want to help, see if you can ask your foreign friends to check for you. If there’s any news, please inform imdiately.”
“Okay!”
To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I didn’t tell Ding Yinuo that Gu Yuanzhou was at the Song Family’s residence.
Ding Yinuo wouldn’t co rushing over to the Song Family’s house out of concern for .
After hanging up, I turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou.
Just as Gu Yuanzhou stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, straightened his suit, and started to leave.
I rushed over to stop him,
“Are you really not going to help Wu Lijuan?”
“What does it have to do with ?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s tone was indifferent.
“He is your uncle-in-law. Are you really so heartless?”
“As you said, he’s just my uncle-in-law, not my actual uncle. If so people don’t even care for their own uncle, why should I care for them? Tell , isn’t it so?”
“Gu Yuanzhou, you an to say that once your wife is dead, you don’t care about your uncle-in-law anymore, right?”
Gu Yuanzhou lit a smoke, studied intensely, and said,
“Yes! When a person dies, he’s as insignificant as an extinguished lamp. When a person leaves, he’s as cold as tea that’s gone cold. You get it!”
“You!!!”
Indeed, I had no right to ask him to do anything for .
But back then, if it hadn’t been for Song Shixiong’s support and guidance for Gu Yuanzhou, would he have been as successful as he is today?
“You ungrateful wolf!”
I erupted in fury.
But Gu Yuanzhou simply gave an indifferent glance without showing any reaction.
He walked to the door, opened it, and walked out.
Before departing, he turned back to look at again.
“Whether you are Song Yun or not, I should remind you of this. I don’t owe the Song family anything, I don’t owe Song Shixiong any favors. Even if he dies out there, it’s his own doing. It has nothing to do with !”
As he declared these words, his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
I was so angry I felt like exploding.
If he had dared to utter even half of such words back when I first t him, I would have imdiately cut all ties with him, there wouldn’t have been a chance of marriage with him.
In conclusion, he was just heartless to the core.
I once thought that he might have so feelings for the Song family, but it turns out he had none!
But watching him leave like that, I couldn’t be at peace with it.
So, I thought of a different plan.
