Chapter 313: Chapter 313 I’m No Longer Mrs. Gu_1
 

After that, every day when I came to the office, I could always see Ye Mengyan in her gray-green janitor uniform, haunting the restroom.

The once proud face was void of any luster…

However, when she looked at me, I noticed a certain uneasiness in her gaze, and within those downcast eyes were traces of jealousy.

I knew, she hated me!

No matter, this was exactly the effect I wanted.

What goes around comes around, karma never fails, today’s me, is the retribution for her countless misdeeds.

She had to tolerate her hatred!

If she couldn’t come to terms with it, she might as well spend her life here scrubbing toilets.

After all, no one would pity her again.

“Miss Song, she seems really displeased with you!”

Jiang Yuyan whispered to me as I was taking the elevator.

“Let her be displeased. Whether she’s happy or not doesn’t matter, what’s important is that I’m satisfied.”

Indeed, compared to all that I had experienced, all the pain I had suffered, her suffering was nothing.

In the afternoon, I visited a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to get cupping therapy…

Unexpectedly, I ran into Liu Yu, who also came for a back treatment. It had been nearly two months since Qi Ming became paralyzed.

Liu Yu looked completely different than before, her cheeks were ruddy and bright, her eyes sparkled with vigor, she was much more efficient and a lot more beautiful and confident.

Deep down, she has always regarded me as her savior.

So, in private, we became very good friends.

After the therapy, we had tea together and shared updates on the current financial status of A City.

She put down her cup and told me,

“Zhenyi Company is finished.”

“Are they going bankrupt?”

“I heard their old clients have almost all left, and now major distributors are unwilling to carry goods from Zhenyi Company anymore. Moreover, contracts signed in the past are being terminated, and they’re currently involved in lawsuits. However… Gu Yuanzhou won’t go bankrupt. His funds are all in Huaxin Group now. As everyone knows, he’s the hidden shareholder of Huaxin Group.”

Every time I thought of Gu Yuanzhou living in luxury on the suffering of my uncle’s family, my heart bled.

This scum!

“Is there really no way to bring Gu Yuanzhou down?”

Liu Yu sighed,

“As a friend, I advise you to protect yourself. The fact that he’s not attacking Tianjiao right now means he’s already showing mercy. Mainly because this man is too ruthless. He’s capable of doing anything.”

“Liu Yu, even you say so?”

Liu Yu fiddled with her curls,

“Indeed, I won the bet. But what if I had lost? You’re still young. I had no choice because of my child. You don’t! You can totally take Ding Yinuo and start over abroad. Life is too short to waste on a scumbag.”

In fact, Liu Yu didn’t know the details about my situation, and I hadn’t made them clear to her.

My experiences were not something ordinary people could understand.

The depth of my hatred for Gu Yuanzhou.

That’s not something that can just be walked away from.

My child died at his hands.

My entire uncle’s family was destroyed by him.

This hatred, this grudge, will not die in this lifetime…

However, when I think of Ding Yinuo, I still feel a bit fragile inside, I truly had the thought of taking Ding Yinuo abroad.

But Ding’s mother loves her son deeply and won’t allow it, so I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and wait until Ding Yinuo woke up to discuss it further.

“Miss Liu, thank you for your suggestion, I’ll consider it,” I said.

“However, standing on the grounds of friendship, I actually don’t want you to leave. I really enjoy being friends with you, and I hope to hang out with you more often,” she replied.

“By the way, did the in-laws from the Qi Family make things difficult for you?”

“That old lady used to be very dominant, but a few days ago she broke her leg and now can only lie in bed and moan. The whole family is depending on me, so I suppose they can’t make much trouble anymore. But it doesn’t matter, I’ve already made Qi Ming draft a will—if he dies, all his property will go to my daughter! I don’t think they can come up with any more tricks.”

“That’s great! As long as your two daughters can grow up healthy,” I said.

After finishing the physiotherapy and resting well, I walked out laughing and chatting with Liu Yu.

In the end, as Liu Yu was about to leave, she made a plan with me,

“My second treasure has a birthday next week, you must come! She wants to recognize you as her godmother!”

“Sure, I’m honored, and I will definitely be there.”

I waved goodbye, watching as Liu Yu drove away.

Suddenly, I felt a chilly gaze sweeping over me from behind, and before I could turn around, that cold voice rang out.

“I was wondering why Qi Ming became paralyzed so inexplicably, turns out someone was pulling strings in secret!”

I whirled around to see Gu Yuanzhou standing behind me, his hands in his pockets, his eyes darkly watching me.

I played dumb, “Mr. Gu, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!”

He slowly walked down the steps, approaching me.

His overwhelming presence made it hard to breathe—I had no choice but to look up at him.

“Is that so? You don’t understand? Then explain your presence at the mountain-top villa… Qi Ming was supposed to invest with me, but in the blink of an eye, he turned to Tianjiao Company. I don’t need to investigate to understand the reason. Miss Song, you’ve become quite the schemer.”

He circled around me, his words filled with mockery.

“Maybe the Qi Family’s company invested with me because I’m a good person and Tianjiao Company is thriving. After all, investments are supposed to go to good, promising companies. Everyone is in it to make money! And now Zhenyi Company, I hear, has been shaken up quite badly, it’s natural that people don’t want to lose money and not invest with you.”

I looked at him sarcastically.

He just stared at me, and after a long while, he let out a cold laugh.

“I didn’t expect you to dare to oppose me!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, you were the one who provoked me first!”

“But, have you thought about the outcome of your actions? You won’t end up well by challenging me like this,” he said, his words thick with menace.

“I’m not afraid of you! Don’t threaten me!”

He seemed very angry but then suddenly calmed down, “Alright, I don’t want to argue with you. Go back to Zhenyi.”

“Sorry, I’m not going back!”

“Aren’t you Ayun? If you truly are Ayun, you should know what Zhenyi means to you. Zhenyi needs you now, come back,” Gu Yuanzhou’s tone suddenly softened, seemingly with a hint of pleading.

He looked at me, silent…

I hesitated for a few seconds.

He seized the opportunity to grab my hand, “Ayun, come back with me! Come see everything we created together! If you’re Ayun, you’re Mrs. Gu! You need to go back!”

I took a step back, freeing myself from his grasp, “Sorry, I’m not Ayun anymore! And… I’m not Mrs. Gu! You’ve got the wrong person!”
