Chapter 76: 76: She Wants Me to Cooperate_1
He seemed to know a lot about me.
I shifted my gaze,
“What did my mom say to you this time? She is such a gossip, loves to spin stories! Moreover, she just told me that you have feelings for me! Please don’t believe her.”
I deliberately used some exaggerated language, trying to get more truth from him.
However, before my voice even dropped, he said,
“Your mom wasn’t wrong!”
“What wasn’t she wrong about?”
“Xun Yixuan… your fiancé!”
He threw out another new name.
I was stunned for a moment,
“My mom told you these things too?”
“Why, is there a problem?”
“There’s no problem, it’s just… I didn’t expect my mom to be such a gossip!”
My anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Thankfully he didn’t bring up Ding Yinuo.
Gu Yuanzhou stood in front of me, his tone getting heavier,
“So, do you plan to break up with him?”
In truth, I didn’t know who Xun Yixuan was.
I had no impression of him.
However, to give myself some future excuses for not going to work, I decided not to ‘break up’ with Xun Yixuan.
After all, in reality, I didn’t need to entertain him, and so I asked,
“President Gu, are you also managing my personal affairs?”
Gu Yuanzhou suddenly changed the topic,
“Of course, I won’t interfere with an employee’s personal life. However, as the boss, I hope you can focus all your energy on work, rather than letting personal affairs affect it.”
“Rest assured, President Gu, I can clearly distinguish between public and private matters! My personal feelings will not affect my work.”
My answer didn’t seem to satisfy Gu Yuanzhou.
He walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving me with one more comment,
“Quite stubborn!”
After that, he never once asked about Ding Yinuo.
However, every now and then he would inquire about my parents…
These actions of Gu Yuanzhou made me more and more incapable of figuring him out. Why did he bring my parents into the company and get so close to them?
How much does he actually know?
Is he investigating me? Or does he have some other plan?
I couldn’t figure him out.
In order not to raise any more suspicions with Gu Yuanzhou, I avoided Ding Yinuo and tried my best not to have any contact with him.
When I returned to Maple Mansion after work in the evening,
Ye Mengyan mysteriously pulled me to the gateway.
“Xiaoyun, I have made a decision and I hope you won’t mind too much!”
“What’s that?”
“My cousin-aunt has nowhere to go. Because she is a suspect, no hotel or guesthouse is willing to keep her. She also can’t leave A City, so I temporarily brought her here to live with us. Don’t worry, she won’t cause any inconvenience to you.”
“Oh, but this house isn’t mine. As long as President Gu agrees, I have no right to oppose.”
Ye Mengyan finally sighed in relief, “Big Brother Gu naturally won’t object. Besides, he is quite sympathetic to my cousin’s plight.”
As she spoke, Ye Mengyan sighed again.
“I initially introduced her to get a job at Golden Bay out of goodwill, but who would’ve thought my good intentions would bring about a catastrophe.”
If it had been in the past, I might have sympathized with Ye Mengyan when she spoke like this.
But now, I can’t seem to sympathize with her at all.
I even became suspicious of her intentions…
Though I don’t have any objections to Wu Jun staying here, it seemed like Wu Jun was quite wary of me.
Last time at the Ding family home, Ding Yinuo and I had questioned Wu Jun together.
She was still on guard against me, but maybe because she really had nowhere else to go, she didn’t oppose me.
She just tried to avoid me during meals.
After dinner, as Ye Mengyan sat on the sofa, she asked me,
“Xiaoyun, what can you give to a man as a present so that he will never forget you?”
I was momentarily taken aback…
Ye Mengyan’s innocent eyes reminded me of myself in the past.
When I was dating Gu Yuanzhou, I loved him so much and was constantly searching for ways to keep his heart.
Some said that if you knit your beloved a scarf, you can tie his heart to you.
So, I stole away time from my busy schedule to learn how to knit a scarf, and I gave him the first scarf I ever knitted.
Later, it was said that giving a man ties and belts could tie his heart to you.
So, for every birthday that he had each year, I gave him carefully selected ties and belts.
Nearly ten years of dating and marriage, sending ten ties, but in the end, none of it could tie his heart to me.
I shook my head.
“Men are the most fickle, there is no way to make him love you forever!”
“Xiaoyun, you’re a bit pessimistic! Were you hurt by that Mr. Ding?”
She was carefully probing me.
I was stunned, “Which Mr. Ding?”
“The one from last time… ah-hem, you don’t need to hide it, I saw everything! There’s nothing to be ashamed of, all women fall in love and get married. I think that Mr. Ding is quite good, and he’s very handsome!”
I just remembered that when Ye Mengyan went to the Ding family home last time, Ding Yinuo had announced our relationship.
Of course, that was just a way for Ding Yinuo to provide cover for me, and it wasn’t that we were in a relationship.
I didn’t feel like explaining it all to Ye Mengyan.
“Hmm, I don’t really believe in love!”
“Then why are you with Mr. Ding?”
“It’s probably because I was bored!”
“Some people say that a love lock can lock two people together, do you believe it?”
“If you’re happy, then it’s good!”
I believed it ten years ago. If I believed it now, I would be a fool.
Love lock… Speaking of which, Gu Yuanzhou and I still have one! It is still locked on the Magpie Bridge of Fairy Mountain!
I didn’t want to comment on Ye Mengyan’s childish remarks.
But Ye Mengyan didn’t want to drop the subject, she kept talking.
“Sigh, I’m going to study in France next month, and I’m really worried about Big Brother Gu. I don’t know whether he will forget me after I leave!”
“If you’re afraid, then get your marriage license with him right now. Legal documents are much more useful than verbal promises.”
Ye Mengyan turned to look at me, “Do you think he would agree to get the marriage certificate with me?”
“I’m not sure, you can try!”
In truth, I was also very curious about the result.
Ye Mengyan had been with him for four years, she should like him, right?
“Then I’ll try!”
At six in the evening, Ye Mengyan knocked on my room door. When I opened the door, there she stood, dressed in a white wedding gown.
Seeing me, she proudly twirled in front of me, her wedding dress billowing, “What do you think, isn’t it beautiful?”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m going to propose to Big Brother Gu in a bit. I need your cooperation!”
“Cooperate? How?”
I never expected that one day the other woman would ask me to help her propose to my ex-husband!
How ironic!
