Chapter 137: Chapter 137 We were together last night_1
Translator: 549690339
There was a moment when I genuinely wanted to run away from Gu Yuanzhou.
Because what Wenya said was correct.
As long as I live by Gu Yuanzhouâs side, I will never be able to forget the past, nor step away from those shadows.
I would constantly be trapped in hell, in the company of pain.
However, if I were to leave, it wouldnât be now.
âWenya, unless I can retrieve all my property, you said it yourself, didnât you? He betrayed me at the very least! I wonât let my property end up in Ye Mengyanâs hands.â
The moment I finished speaking, a loud sneeze rang out.
I suspect that right now, in some place, Ye Mengyan must be cursing me.
In the afternoon.
When I went to the presidentâs office. đđđźđźđđźđđ·đžđđźđĄ.đđžđ¶
Ye Mengyan was also there. She no longer seemed to care about othersâ opinions and freely entered and left Gu Yuanzhouâs office.
She was originally laughing and joking with Gu Yuanzhou, but the moment her gaze fell upon my wrist, her smile disappeared instantly.
Slowly turning into confusion.
âXiaoyun, where did you get this jade bracelet?â
I lowered my head to look, only realising now that I had forgotten to remove the jade bracelet after last nightâs turmoil.
I directed a slight smile towards Gu Yuanzhou, saying nothing.
But Ye Mengyan didnât seem willing to let this go and asked again,
âXiaoyun, can I take a look at the bracelet?â
âSure, no problem!â
I casually removed the bracelet from my wrist and handed it to Ye Mengyan.
Without meaning to, I glanced at Gu Yuanzhou.
His complexion didnât seem too good, but he stayed silent.
Ye Mengyan examined the bracelet for some time, apparently recognizing its value,
âXiaoyun, with the current price of jade so high, this bracelet canât be worth less than a hundred thousand, right?â
Although I hadnât seen the invoice received from Gu Yuanzhou, I knew the bracelet was worth far more than that.
âProbably worth more!â
âThat expensive? Xiaoyun, which friend of yours is so wealthy to gift such a valuable present?â
Ye Mengyan was deliberately trying to get information out of me.
I had no intention of hiding it anyway. Iâd rather she made a big fuss with Gu Yuanzhou. The bigger, the better.
âOh, it was my birthday gift last night from President Gu.â
âBirthday gift?â
Apparently sensing trouble, Ye Mengyan hastily pressed for more information.
âYou were together last night?â
âMiss Ye, have some tea! There are certain things that are best left unsaid!â
I didnât answer her question, just handed her a cup of tea.
This kind of elusive method seemed to infuriate Ye Mengyan even more.
Taking advantage of Gu Yuanzhou being busy with a clientâs phone call, she cornered me again.
âXiaoyun, tell me the truth. Whatever happened between you two, I can accept it. I just want to know the truth, I donât want to be kept in the dark. That feeling is terrifying.â
I just looked at her and smiled.
Thinking to myself, right now, isnât she nothing to Gu Yuanzhou, not even his wife, and she canât handle being kept in the dark?
When the two of you were together, how many years did you keep me in the dark?
I still remained silent.
Only then did Ye Mengyan plead anxiously again.
âXiaoyun, whatever happened between you two last night, I can accept it.â
I glanced at her,
âFrom what I see, Gu Yuanzhou treats you pretty well. Considering heâs willing to spend so much on you, it means he values you. So why donât you have any trust in him?â
âHeâs spent a lot of money on you too, hasnât he?â
âHehe⊠Youâre right. Last night, we went to that coupleâs hotel!â
As I said this, Ye Mengyanâs face was already pale. She looked at me in shock, biting her lower lip tightly.
âWas it you? Did you deliberately take him to the hotel?â
âEnough, Miss Ye. Iâve said what I have to say.â
âSong Xiaoyun, I treated you as a friend, but you took away the man I love. Iâm really disappointed in you⊠â
âNo, from the beginning, you didnât treat me as a friend. You just wanted to use me. Ye Mengyan, Iâm not stupid!â
At my words, Ye Mengyan suddenly covered her face with her hands, sobbing quietly, as if she had been abandoned by her man.
At this time, Gu Yuanzhou had finished his call too.
He turned around and noticed Ye Mengyan crying quietly.
âWhatâs wrong?â
He put down his phone and walked up to her.
Ye Mengyan turned her face away.
âWhy are you crying?â
He asked twice before Ye Mengyan replied,
âIf Big Brother Gu doesnât like Mengyan, then Mengyan will leave.â
Her grievance and fragile voice aroused a strong protective desire in the man.
The more she appeared to be pitiful, the more the man would comfort her.
Indeed, she was a woman who understood men very well, firmly grasping their weak spots.
I cleared my throat,
âPresident Gu, the meeting is about to start!â
Gu Yuanzhou was seemingly unable to leave the emotional Ye Mengyan,
âYou go ahead and handle it, Iâll be there later.â
âAlright!â
I turned and walked away.
However, after waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Yuanzhou still hadnât arrived,
So I took the initiative to preside over the entire meeting.
It was a company that I had founded single-handedly, after all. Its operational concepts and policy guidelines were all deeply ingrained in me.
It was just as well that he wasnât there. I could use the opportunity to make some personnel adjustments.
Sometimes I wondered if it wouldnât be such a bad thing for Ye Mengyan to keep Gu Yuanzhou tied up this way.
At least I could free up my hands to take over the Zhenyi Company.
Just after the meeting, I bumped into Ye Mengyan while going down the elevator.
I wonder what Gu Yuanzhou promised her.
At this moment, her face was glowing. Seeing that only the two of us were inside the elevator, she looked at me confidently and arrogantly, and chuckled.
âXiaoyun! I asked Big Brother Gu. He didnât touch you last night, did he?â
I raised my eyebrows, âDid I say he touched me?â
Ye Mengyan cleared her throat, âSorry, I misunderstood you two. He doesnât have feelings for you. Do you know why?â
âDo you think itâs because of you?â
âWhether itâs because of me, youâll find out soon. Because⊠Iâm about to become the image spokesperson of Zhenyi Company!â
I was stunned to hear this.
Because over the past six months, the company has launched a high-end customized product, which can be said to represent the highest standard of Zhenyi fashion.
In order to launch this product, we planned to invite a popular and well-known female star to advertise it.
The company had already picked two female stars domestically and was in the process of discussing collaboration details.
It was unexpected that Ye Mengyan would now say such a thing.
This was not a trivial matter. Ye Mengyan didnât have the temperament, nor the fame of a female star. If she endorses our products, theyâd be done for.
More importantly, Zhenyi Company is not just my hard work, but a company named after my son and daughter. How could I let a mistress be its spokesperson?
This was impossible.
Seeing my grim expression, Ye Mengyan became even more proud. She smirked,
âRecently, Big Brother Gu has spent a fortune to hire an etiquette teacher from France to train me, in preparation for later photoshoots. Hey, you tell me, if he didnât truly love me, how could he be willing to spend so much effort on nurturing me?â
I took a deep breath, calmly telling her, âThatâs impossible!â
