Hai Lanse was slightly surprised, "I heard that this Gu Yan is a sickly person, I didn’t expect him to be unexpectedly sharp, very good, arrange it, perhaps, he will be my breakthrough point!"
...
Over at the Shang Family.
A subordinate inford Shang Jingchen that the issue with the cooperative land has been resolved, and the upper-level scrutiny that had been holding things up has finally gone through.
Shang Jingchen sneered, waiting to see what other tricks Third Young Master Jun could pull to hinder the cooperation.
Another subordinate reported that the young madam hadn’t returned to the company for days. All affairs were communicated to her through phone calls from Vice President Yang. Important docunts would be sent to her for signatures.
Shang Jingchen clenched his fists, his heart aching like it was being twisted. Was she deliberately avoiding him? Every ti he went to see her, she seed to disappear.
And who was the secret lover? The issue was like a sharp thorn piercing his heart, filling him with irresistible jealousy and hatred.
The more he felt jealousy, the more he realized that he was genuinely in love with this woman. He couldn’t tolerate her having any relationship with other n.
"I’m going to hold a shareholders’ eting to announce her dismissal from Yaxing Corporation." Fine, if she didn’t want to show up, he would force her to do so.
Ye Lu had been feeling a lot better these days.
Without the pressure of Third Young Master Jun and no need to put up with Shang Jingchen’s temperant, she focused solely on caring for Gu Yan at the hospital.
She made him his favorite foods, read him financial newspapers, and then pushed him out to the hospital garden for a walk in the sun. Although he didn’t talk much to her, at least he didn’t reject her.
This made her feel like she was in an illusion, as if she had returned to their old days together.
It all felt like a dream.
But she never dared to harbor any illusions, she just hoped that he would get better, and then, she would be relieved.
One day while they were strolling in the garden, she received an urgent call from Vice President Yang saying that a board eting was being held at the head office, and they were dismissing her.
Ye Lu was greatly annoyed. What was Shang Jingchen up to now? What reason did he have for firing her this ti?
"I have an ergency, I need to go back to the office."
"What? Is it Shang Jingchen giving you a hard ti again?" Gu Yan furrowed his brow. From the last banquet, he had seen that Shang Jingchen was very harsh on her, publically humiliating her and letting everyone enjoy the spectacle.
It was because he couldn’t stand seeing her humiliated that he had invited her to dance.
"It’s nothing, I’m used to it anyway."
Gu Yan angrily protested, "Why don’t you fight back? You weren’t like this before."
His voice suddenly beca hoarse, and there was a faint pain in his heart.
"Do you like him that much? Are you so fond of him that even when he humiliates you, you still accommodate him?"
Ye Lu quickly waved her hands, "Of course not."
"Then why?" He sounded even more dissatisfied.
"I don’t mind because he’s not in my heart. If I really cared about him, of course, I wouldn’t let him bully like this, just like when you bullied , I bullied you back even more..." Ye Lu was sowhat embarrassed, "Anyway, I do this in return for Old Sir Shang’s kindness."
Gu Yan’s pale face turned slightly red, and his expression finally softened a bit, as he turned his head to the side.
"It’s just an ordinary job, if he wants to fire you, let him! If you want to work, I can arrange an easy job for you, so you wouldn’t need to put up with this."
"It’s not just about the job, it’s also about my promise to the old gentleman. I’ll get you back in."
Just when she was about to push him back, a perfectly white hand, pale enough to see the faint blood vessels, reached out. A foreigner started speaking in English, "Miss, allow ."
The hand that he laid on her, brushed against hers.
Ye Lu shuddered unaccountably at the cool touch, lifting her head to see a tall and slender foreign man.
