Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Actually Knows Everything_1
 

“You said you didn’t like Ye Mengyan, and I’ve already driven her away,”

“Ye Mengyan is your issue; it has nothing to do with me!”

“You said that you are Ayun; you can’t keep changing your face like this!”

He stepped closer to me as I retreated step by step, evading his arms and luckily there was a taxi stopped at the curb, so I got in directly.

“Driver, go!”

I left the scene in the taxi as if I was escaping.

I didn’t want to get close to him.

I was terrified he would discover all my plans.

I was also worried that I couldn’t overcome him.

Yet, the more I tried to avoid him,

the more I seemed to run into him.

The city was too small; you couldn’t escape seeing someone.

Afterward, Tianjiao Company’s business volume was in an explosive growth period, and since Ding Yinuo was bedridden due to long-term illness, I simply gave the position of design department director to Jian Yuyan, while I temporarily took over all of Ding Yinuo’s work.

And Ding Xiao was there to assist me.

Actually, with Ding Xiao’s help, I was still able to handle it all with ease.

Shen Yishu’s company was gradually getting on track, and he would often come to see me; to broaden his horizons, I would take him to various social events.

However, it was impossible to avoid running into Gu Yuanzhou.

At several business meetings, I deliberately avoided him to escape his entanglement.

But, I would still end up meeting him.

Finally, one time, he trapped me at the end of the hallway.

He stretched out his hands, his tall figure enveloping me entirely as I stood within the confines of his arms.

“Gu Yuanzhou, what are you doing?”

“Come back with me!”

Perhaps because of the alcohol, his cheeks were flushed, and there was redness in his eyes.

He stubbornly cocooned me in his embrace, refusing to let go.

“Let me go, you maniac!”

“Come back with me!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, we can’t go back, not ever again!”

“You are Mrs. Gu, you are my wife, you have to come back with me!!”

It was evident that he must have drunk at the recent banquets; his overbearing strength fiercely confined me.

He even tried to bend down to kiss me.

However, I couldn’t accept being intimate with him like that again, and I pushed him away forcefully.

I slapped him across the face.

Just as the elevator door opened, I hurried out.

Shen Yishu was outside, talking business with some clients. Seeing my disheveled state, he quickly approached,

“Xiaoyun, what happened?”

I was still somewhat shell-shocked; after all, I am a woman with limited strength, and once Gu Yuanzhou got hold of me, I couldn’t break free.

So, still feeling like I was fleeing, I was completely panicked.

It was not until Shen Yishu took my hand that I felt much more stable.

“Er, I ran into Gu Yuanzhou!”

“What did he do to you? Let’s call the police, don’t be afraid of him!”

Shen Yishu was much calmer than me.

“Forget it, it’s nothing. Let’s go!”

As Shen Yishu and I walked out of the hotel, just as we reached the entrance, my phone rang again.

I took it out and saw that it was Gu Yuanzhou calling. I didn’t answer and put the phone back into my bag.

“Xiaoyun, you still have a business appointment at eight tonight. Avoiding him like this isn’t a solution.”

“I know! I just… need to cool down first. I’ll be back later! Actually, nothing happened just now; I just ran into him and got a bit scared. He didn’t do anything to me!”

To avoid worrying Shen Yishu, I didn’t go into detail about what had just happened.

“Xiaoyun, you really don’t have to be afraid of Gu Yuanzhou. If he does anything dangerous to you next time, just shout for help or call me.”

“Okay!”

I was very grateful for Shen Yishu’s protective actions.

But I did not want Shen Yishu to get into a conflict with Gu Yuanzhou. After all, with Shen Yishu’s capabilities, Gu Yuanzhou could destroy him in minutes.

Moreover, I had to keep my distance from Shen Yishu to prevent Gu Yuanzhou from transferring his hatred onto him and hurting an innocent person.

I went back to Xishan Residence and rested for a while…

At that moment, Jian Jing and Wenya came to see me.

Jian Jing’s belly had grown even more, like she was carrying a big round ball, and she had put on a lot of weight; her face had filled out as well.

She was wearing the maternity dress I had bought for her — a loose style and made of pure cotton. She seemed very comfortable and it fitted her well.

However, due to the pregnancy, her complexion was worse, her skin somewhat dusky, and she had developed large patches of melasma. She no longer had her usual lively look.

Women, when they give birth to children for men, really exhaust their vitality and youth…

She also carried a big bag of snacks and was huffing and puffing. I was worried she might fall, so I hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

“Look at you, with such a big belly, and you still come to see me?”

“Ah, Wenya said you’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, especially regarding Yinuo. Every time I think about it, I get so upset. The first time you fell in love with Gu Yuanzhou, you put everything on the line, and this is the outcome. The second time you fell in love with Ding Yinuo, and then he turns out to be in a vegetative state. When I think of the pain you’ve suffered, I’ve woken up crying in the middle of the night. You never complain to me, but I know you’re suffering, so I wanted to come and keep you company, to see how you are.”

Jian Yan held my hand, unable to stop her tears from flowing.

I embraced her tightly, patting her shoulder, “Thank you, Jian Jing! It’s so nice of you to come see me.”

What was particularly heartbreaking was that Jian Jing felt so much pity for me, yet her own situation was even more difficult…

I had stewed some snow pears, which I then took out to share with them.

Wenya couldn’t stop praising it after drinking the sugared snow pears,

“Ayun, I never imagined your cooking skills had improved so much!”

“It wasn’t me who stewed it; it was Ding Yinuo… He had stewed it before and then packed it into small portions and froze them in the freezer. When I want to drink it, I just take out a portion and heat it in the electric pot.”

Wenya was deeply moved,

“President Ding was truly a good man, what a pity the heavens were blind, not letting good people get their reward.”

I was calm,

“It’s not the fault of the heavens; it was Gu Yuanzhou who hurt people!”

Just as Jian Jing went to the restroom, Wenya whispered to me,

“That Yu Jiahang is really a scumbag!”

“What happened?”

“I heard from a friend that after he got promoted, he kept a mistress outside and even bought her a car… I see Jian Jing is about to give birth next month; I didn’t dare to upset her.”

Shocked by such news, I couldn’t believe that Yu Jiahang would stoop so low. His wife was at home struggling with pregnancy, and he was out there supporting another woman?

We were talking when unexpectedly, Jian Jing came out. I quickly gave Wenya a look, signaling her to change the subject.

Wenya chuckled, “Ah, it was the auntie who dances in the square with my mom, her son has been messing around outside, a real scumbag.”

Unexpectantly, Jian Jing joined the conversation saying, “You don’t have to hide it anymore, I actually know!”
