Gu Yuanzhou didn’t directly answer my question. Instead, after starting the car, he calmly said, “You’ve drunk too much!”
I did drink too much, indeed!
The boss kept urging to drink while he was signing the contract.
Normally, 1 could handle my liquor, but I couldn’t resist when he persistently cajoled into drinking four more rounds.
Red wine, not very strong, but it can get you intoxicated if you have too much.
As the saying goes, in vino veritas.
When you’re drunk, sotis what you say is out of control.
Didn’t he promise to protect the innocent Ye ngyan earlier tonight?
Now it’s clear that so unscrupulous deeds needed to do.
Yet, after I had done it, he turned around and lectured with virtuous deanor like a hypocrite.
Huh, what right does a man who keeps a college girl as a mistress have to talk about right and wrong in front of ?
I was truly drunk now.
I kept muttering a lot.
Things I should’ve said and shouldn’t have said all ca out in one go.
Perhaps, after coming back to life, I had finally let out all my grievances in one go.
At that mont, 1 was not conscious of anything.
I don’t even rember when Gu Yuanzhou took ho.
By the ti I regained my consciousness, it was the next morning.
1 was woken up by the alarm clock at seven in the morning.
I sat on the bed hugging my pillow, staring blankly at the empty room.
Turning my head, I saw my high heels and dress carelessly thrown on the sofa, I couldn’t rember when Gu Yuanzhou left or how I took off that dress.
I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, the person in the mirror had ssy hair.
I turned on the shower and hung it on the wall. While taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I tried hard to recall what I had said last night.
But it seed as if 1 had lost my mory due to the amount I had drunk, and I couldn’t rember anything at all.
After tidying up, I hurried to the company.
The morning was quite busy. I was caught up with a pile of docunts and couldn’t leave.
It wasn’t until around ten o’clock that I encountered Gu Yuanzhou when I went to the finance room to get the file stamped.
The man in the suit possessed a natural air of authority; he appeared calm, as if last night hadn’t affected our relationship at all.
But before he turned around, he said,
“Co to my office!”
A few minutes later, 1 nervously entered his office,
He was reviewing contracts behind his desk.
Seeing entering, he pushed a red envelope over the table.
I was taken aback, a red envelope?
Is he trying to pay off and fire ?
“President Gu, did I do sothing wrong?”
“Huh?”
“If not, why would you want to hire ?” “Did I say I was firing you?” “So… this red envelope … it’s not for ?”
Gu Yuanzhou glared at ,
“Of course not, the boss of the Maiqian company next door’s father passed away. Go get so wreaths and have soone send them.”
1 breathed a sigh of relief,
“President Gu, this kind of thing can be done with the company account. You don’t have to pay for it!”
“We are friends outside of work!”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”
I didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to be so clear about the distinction between public and private matters.
As I was leaving with the red envelope, Gu Yuanzhou called out to , “Wait!”
I turned back.
“Do you need anything else, President Gu?”
“Make a cup of coffee!”
As I turned to make coffee, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Gu Yuanzhou put down his work and was watching intently.
His gaze was observant.
1 served him the coffee, He didn’t drink it imdiately but kept watching .
I suddenly felt that sothing was off.
“President Gu, did I say sothing inappropriate last night that offended
He was candid, “Yes!”
“Which one? Sorry, I was so drunk last night that I can’t rember.”
Gu Yuanzhou stared at for quite so ti,
“More than one!”
“What did I say?”
“You said I have a twisted moral compass, keep a college girl as a mistress, less than an animal, I betrayed my wife and children, and deserve to go to hell
He went off listing a series of things.
My face turned pale instantly, had I really said that much?
“I apologize, President Gu! I apologize to you!’
Gu Yuanzhou waved his hand, “There’s one thing I have to make clear to you; there’s no such thing as a mistress relationship between Ye ngyan and ,” “Isn’t Miss Ye… your… woman?”
“To , she is indeed very important! And this relationship will not dissipate because of any external force…” “But she said she was getting married!”
“l won’t let her marry a poor guy!’
Gu Yuanzhou took out a bunch of pictures from the drawer and threw it on the table,
“I’ve done my investigation. It’s that poor journalist, the boy who has been harassing . How could ngyan marry him?”
It was then that I knew that Gu Yuanzhou had soone investigating Shen Yishu after Ye ngyan had ntioned wanting to get married.
Obviously, he cared a great deal about Ye ngyan.
The ‘poor boy’ he referred to was a clear display of his discontent towards
Shen Yishu.
“President Gu, if she’s not your woman, you have no right to prevent her from getting married, right?”
“You don’t understand! The relationship between a man and a woman is not as simple as a physical one.”
He refused to admit to having any sort of relationship with Ye ngyan.
In my perspective, he was just evading , If he and Ye ngyan are not related by blood and aren’t long-lost siblings, how is it possible that they’ve maintained their relationship for so many years without any physical intimacy?
At this point, I did not believe a word he said—not a single word. He didn’t continue the discussion on this topic but changed it instead,
“Which high school did you go to?”
This question stumped . I had no idea which high school Song Xiaoyun attended!
I ntioned a random high school but Gu Yuanzhou didn’t ask any further and just let go to do my job.
Afterward, I went to buy so wreaths. Even though Gu Yuanzhou suggested that I assign the task of delivery to soone else, I decided to do it myself.
After all, the last place Ye’s mother went to was a crematorium, and I could use this opportunity to find Wu Jun.
On the way to the crematorium, Gu Yuanzhou’s question popped back into my head.
Why did he suddenly ask about my high school?
Did I say sothing last night that made him suspect my identity, he was testing ? The more 1 thought about it, the more it felt wrong.
Soon, I reached the funeral ho.
After presenting the wreaths and attending the deceased’s funeral, I mingled among the deceased’s family mbers unnoticed.
I took advantage of this opportunity to search around the funeral ho.
Here, I finally saw Wu Jun.
Although I say Wu Jun, she no longer looked like the nanny she used to be.
If it wasn’t for her sitting beside Ye’s mother, I wouldn’t have recognized her at all..
