“Miss Zuo, is it right for you to keep blaming everything on ?”
Xu Weilai slowly put down her knife and fork. A snicker ford at the corner of her mouth, “There’s always cause and effect in everything that happened. Gu Yu let down. Why can’t I hate him for that? All is fair in love and war. You lose in a ga and refuse to admit defeat. You’re here mocking instead, which is just scratching the surface of . Isn’t it a waste of effort?”
“As for whether I’m fortunate enough to enjoy what I gained, it’s not your concern, Miss Zuo.”
Zuo An walked past the entrance into the dining hall the mont she finished talking.
Infuriated by Xu Weilai’s words, Zuo Si’s face went red with anger. She was about to retaliate when Zuo An stopped her without hesitation, as he knew nothing good would co out from Zuo Si’s mouth, “Zuo Si, you’ve already compromised. What right do you have to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others?”
Zuo Si’s anger flare was suppressed by Zuo An’s words.
Xu Weilai seed to catch certain informations from the conversation between Zuo An and Zuo Si. What did it an by Zuo Si’s compromise? She accepted the failure result from this fight and even take Zuo An’s side in another way?
Zuo Si turned pale when she realised she had no words against Zuo An and Xu Weilai. She stood up sarcastically landed a final blow, “As expected of engaged couples. Now I can’t even say anything against her.”
She shot a disdainful glance at Xu Weilai and left the dining hall.
She would not let herself to appear as a pitiful loser even in such a situation.
Zuo An’s gaze fell on Xu Weilai’s face. Both his voice and expression turned gentle. “You don’t have to take her words to heart. She can only mock once or twice now.”
Xu Weilai wasn’t bothered by Zuo Si’s mocking. Instead, she asked, “What did you an just now?”
He walked into the dining hall towards Xu Weilai, pulled the chair beside her and sat down. He raised his hand and gestured towards the maid. The maid seed to understand his hand gesture as she gave him a nod and walked into the kitchen to prepare his al.
Zuo An turned his head to face her and answered, “Gu Yu’s death will not be announced to the public for the ti being. Instead, we announce that he had fallen ill during father’s birthday banquet. Father had a deal with Zuo Si that as long as she’s willing to assist in getting Gu’s Corporation, all the shares in Gu Yu’s hand will be hers. She will beco the second-in-command of the Gu Corporation.”
“Fallen ill?”
Xu Weilai repeated these two words to herself when she suddenly recalled. “Have you already found out what illness Gu Yu has? Are you using this as an excuse to deceive the shareholders?”
Gu Yu was already dead, while Xu Weilai and Zuo Si had always been at loggerheads with each other. What they said to each other just now would just an that there was no possibility for them to work together. What top Zuo An’s priority now was to treat Xu Weilai with pure sincerity and to have a try on having the genuine love that she ntioned before.
Therefore, Zuo An answered her question with any intention to conceal anything from her, “I’ve always known about Gu Yu’s illness.”
“Really?”
Zuo An clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. He re-considered his words for a mont as he was worried that he would provoke Xu Weilai again if he were to say the wrong thing. He pondered for a mont and said softly, “Or rather, his illness is also part of our plan.”
Gu Yu’s illness was part of their plan?
He was the reason behind Gu Yu’s illness?
Xu Weilai unconsciously clenched her fists. “State clearly on what happened?”
Zuo An said nothing else. He observed Xu Weilai’s expressions instead.
