Chapter 215: 215 Unexpected_1

He carried on with his own tea.

“I warned you not to go to Tianjiao, not to fantasize that Ding Yinuo could help you! Isn’t this your own doing now?”

“Gu Yuanzhou! If it were a fair competition, you wouldn’t stand a chance!”

“Can you still talk to me so defiantly now?”

“What do you want then?”

I tried my best to control my emotions.

I wanted to negotiate with Gu Yuanzhou, trying to seize his weak points.

But after thinking about it, he didn’t leave me much room to manoeuvre, this man was too cunning—everything done without a single leak, without any loopholes.

“So tell me, what value do you have?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, if you’re willing to step down, I can return to the Zhenyi Company. I can even move back to the Maple Mansion, as long as you let the Ding family off the hook.”

Gu Yuanzhou paused the actions of his tea-making to take a long look at me,

“I didn’t expect that for Ding Yinuo, you can go so far.”

“It’s not for Ding Yinuo, but because  I am a human!”

“In fact, I actually don’t want you to come back to Zhenyi now. After all, you left and your heart isn’t mine anymore! Forcing you back has no meaning, and at worst, you might actually join up with Ding Yinuo to fight against me – wouldn’t my loss be even more severe!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze had a bit of the cunning of an old fox.

His analysis was spot on, indeed considering many repercussions.

I glared at him,

“So, what’s President Gu’s intention?”

“What if we do this, you announce to the public your engagement to me!”

When Gu Yuanzhou calmly said these words, I was taken aback.

It took a moment to react,

“I always thought that President Gu’s love was Ye Mengyan. Even though she has risked imprisonment, I didn’t expect that you could just give up on her in the blink of an eye!”

“I never said I would give up on her!”

“So your proposal, isn’t it because you’ve fallen in love with me?”

“Of course not!”

“What is it then?”

“I am merely trying to make Ding Yinuo suffer!”

“You! Gu Yuanzhou, you’re being a bit of a psycho! I absolutely will not agree! You’re completely mad!”

I originally thought I could persuade Gu Yuanzhou, but it seems I was being naive.

But, for his disrespectful request, I could by no means agree.

Doing so would mean betraying Ding Yinuo!

And also betraying my friends!

Furthermore, I’ve already been lied to by him in my past life. Marrying him again now, wouldn’t that make me out of my mind.

I angrily stomped out.

Just as I left the Maple Mansion, my phone started ringing again.

This time it was a call from Wenya.

“Ayun, where are you?”

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to Ding Yinuo?”

“You haven’t seen the news today?”

“I didn’t see, I’m currently negotiating with Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Did you both come to a conclusion?”

“Not exactly  ”

“Where are you? Come over to my house, let’s talk in person!”

Wenya didn’t ask me to return to the Xishan Residence, but to Wen’s House. I felt things might be a bit troublesome.

Without thinking too much, I immediately hailed a taxi to go to Wen’s House.

As soon as I entered, I saw Wenya standing at the door, arms crossed, waiting for me.

“What’s wrong?”

“I didn’t mention it to you on the road because I was afraid you couldn’t handle it  Uncle Ding  he’s gone!”

“What?”

I didn’t know why, but my mind just crashed for a moment, unable to process.

I saw Wenya’s lips moving, but I couldn’t understand what she meant.

Wenya quickly took me into the room.

“Su Peisheng is currently at the hospital with Ding Yinuo! His advice is for us not to stimulate Ding Yinuo. We should think of a way to comfort him. Ayun, Ayun, are you even listening to me?”

Wenya held my face with both hands, giving it a few shakes.

By the time I came to, I felt suffocated.

“How did such a thing happen? He was fine when I saw him this morning!”

“The signs weren’t there, from what Su Peisheng told me. The cause of death is still being investigated  but one could basically infer, it’s suicide! Just think about it, his case has no hope of being overturned! Even Su Peisheng said there’s no way. Uncle Ding, once so upright, his reputation smeared in his later years, in order to clear his name, he might have chosen to die instead!”

Wenya sighed endlessly.

As she spoke, her eyes reddened,

“Uncle Ding was the same age as my dad. Such a wonderful old man! Why did he choose such a drastic path?”

The hatred in my mind grew even stronger.

“It’s because of Gu Yuanzhou!”

At this point, Wenya was speechless.

“I knew Gu Yuanzhou was scum, but I didn’t expect him to be so shameless! Seriously, if now you want to stab Gu Yuanzhou to death, I wouldn’t stop you.”

I slowly sat down,

“Am I really going to kill him?”

Wenya hurriedly stopped me,

“No! Ayun, I was just venting! You must stay calm, don’t go off doing anything silly on your own. As a woman, the moment you act, you’re done for. Just think, Ding Yinuo has already lost his father and he must be feeling really sad. He needs your care now. If something happened to you at this time, he probably wouldn’t be able to take it.”

“I understand, Wenya. That’s why I came to find you first. Let me think about how to handle this.”

My conversation with Wenya was not over yet.

My phone started ringing again. After hesitating for a moment, I picked it up.

It was Wu Lijuan.

“Xiaosong, do you have time tonight to come home for dinner?”

I was about to refuse, who has the mood to go to Wu’s house for dinner right now!

Surprisingly, Wenya picked up the call and agreed on my behalf,

“Auntie, I haven’t tasted your cooking in a long time. In a while, we’ll come over together, okay?”

“Sure, sure, we welcome you, and if you are free, come over early!”

“Mm-hmm, okay!”

Wenya hung up the call.

I looked at her in confusion,

“I want to see Ding Yinuo! As for dinner, I think we should skip it!”

“I understand you want to see him, but he is now with his mother. She must be the one who’s hurting the most. We shouldn’t disturb them at this time, it’s better to go during the funeral. Besides, we should go to your uncle’s house tonight and talk with your uncle and aunt. Let them deal with Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Can they control him? How can Gu Yuanzhou possibly listen to them?”

I felt Wenya was a bit naive. Gu Yuanzhou’s respect for Mr. and Mrs. Song was merely a facade – I knew very well that he didn’t care about them at all.

How would he listen to their advice?

But since Wenya agreed, I followed her to my uncle’s house first.

However, with the incident of Mr. Ding on my mind, I was still feeling chaotic.

I didn’t know how Ding Yinuo was doing now.
