As the phone began to ring, everyone quieted down, glancing nervously at each other.
Just as I was about to answer it, the call abruptly ended.
âWas that him calling?â
Wenya asked.
âHe ought to still be at the police station. If he was able to call, then that means they havenât detained him.â
Su Peisheng briefed us on some details about detention procedures.
After listening, Wenya became even more riled up than I was,
âSo the rich can act with total impunity, is that it? M/ell, Iâll pay whatever it takes to have him killed; where can one hire a hitman?â
Just as Wenya finished speaking, she was met with a snort of derision from Su Peisheng.
âIgnorance! A complete lack of understanding of the law! How sad!â
Wenya wasnât going to take this lying down, âYou legal toady! Who are you insulting?â
âDid I name anyone?â
âYou continued after what I said, which means youâre insulting me!!!â
Su Peisheng snorted coldly,
âPlease, if youâre dumb, read more books! Otherwise, sit there and keep your mouth shut, lest you expose your lack of intelligence.â
Su Peisheng certainly had a mouth on him. He hadnât used a single curse word but had thoroughly belittled her.
Wenyaâs anger flared again and she shot to her feet, jabbing a finger at Su Peishengs nose in anger.
âSo youâre the smart one, huh? You call that being clever? Men like you, all smug and self-righteous, I wouldnât give you the time of day, even if I had no brains in my head.â
âHa, did I ask for your approval? And for the record, I wouldnât give a second look to a spinster like you.â
At these words from Su Peisheng, Ding Yinuo quickly stepped in and pulled him away.
âEnough, mind your words. Are you a man or not? If youâre a man, stop arguing with a woman!â
Ding Yinuoâs intervention, although it left Su Peisheng somewhat disgruntled, at least had the effect of silencing him.
Ding Yinuo then pulled him outside,
âGo and find out whatâs happening with Gu Yuanzhou! If thereâs any news, report back to me immediately.â
âAll right, Iâm going.â
And with that, Su Peisheng put on his coat and left.
Ding Yinuo turned back to me, đđżeeđđČđŻđ§ođel.đođ
âHonestly, Su Peisheng didnât use to be like this. Itâs really strange. The moment he lays eyes on Wenya, they start arguing incessantly!â
I looked at Su Peishengs departing figure, pondering. Indeed, when I had seen him at the law firm before, he had been both diplomatic and efficient.
He never seemed like the type to get into incessant disputes with women.
What was going on?
I glanced at Wenya and she seemed furious, complaining nonstop to Jian Jing.
âDid you see that? What an uncultured brute. He called me a spinster. If it werenât for Ayunâs sake, Iâd have slapped him twice,â Suddenly I understood and sat down next to Wenya,
âAre you possibly in love with the lavvyer, Su?â
âMe? In love with him? Yuck, I feel like throwing up just looking at him. If I fell for him, Iâd know there were ghosts!â
I chuckled and didnât pursue the matter further.
However, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Gu Yuanzhou. If it werenât for their company, Iâd be anxious out of my mind.
After we had finished our hot pot, Ding Yinuo made us some tea.
While we were waiting for news from Su Peisheng, we were all bored, and the conversation shifted back to Gu Yuanzhou.
âAyun, youâve spent a long time with Gu Yuanzhou, did he ever find out about your reincarnation?â
Wenya asked while peeling an orange.
I shook my head.
Wenya continued,
âWell, I suppose not. That scumbag is so engrossed with Ye Mengyan, how would he ever pay attention to any other woman?â
1 suddenly recalled the discussion I had with Gu Yuanzhou.
âLet me tell you a ghost story. Gu Yuanzhou once told me that his relationship with Ye Mengyan is very pure, it isnât a âsugar daddy-sugar babyâ relationship.â
After hearing this, Wenya scoffedâŠ
âKeeping her around without expecting anything in return? Please, only a child would believe such a fairy tale. I certainly donât.â
After she finished, she looked at Jian Jing.
âWhat do you think?â
Jian Jing was typically more reserved, without much insight into human nature.
She glanced at me.
âAyun, this is something youâll have to feel out. Neither Wenya nor 1 have spent our days living with Gu Yuanzhou. Only you know him best, donât you?â
âl shook my head, âl donât believe it!â
I really didnât. Perhaps such pure feelings did exist in this world, but certainly not with Gu Yuanzhou.
He was a man with strong sexual needs.
How could he possibly maintain a âpureâ relationship with Ye Mengyan?
Just as we were discussing Ye Mengyan, my phone rang again.
It was Ye Mengyanâs phone number.
I didnât answer the call.
She kept calling, three times in total, and then sent me a text message. âXiaoyun, my mom said that my aunt was arrested by the police! Can we talk?â 1 reflected carefully.
The reason I had called Ding Yinuo over was because Yeâs mother was present.
I didnât want to expose myself.
If I were exposed, 1 might lose my footing one Iâm at Zhenyi Company.
Given Ye Mengyanâs current status, Gu Yuanzhou will certainly not side with me.
As far as Gu Yuanzhou is concerned, I am just a mere employee.
Ding Yinuo stepping in helped me avoid such a risk.
When 1 was in the funeral procession, I made sure to wear a cap and a face mask, and I did not deliberately expose myself to Yeâs motherâs sight.
I believe that for now, Ye Mengyan also doesnât know who 1 am.
So, what does she mean by wanting to meet me now?
What does she want to discuss with me?
âWhat are you so afraid of?â
Ding Yinuo sat down opposite me.
âIâm not afraid of anything!â
I didnât reply to Ye Mengyanâs message, instead helping Ding Yinuo clean up the dining utensils.
He grabbed my hand,
âLeave this, your hand is injured. Go sit down and take a rest.â
âDo you think Wu Jun will expose me?â
âIf you feel uncomfortable, put the blame on me! Besides, if you really donât dare to take the risk, you can come work at my company! After all, a job is a job, isnât it?â
Ding Yinuoâs words were rather nonchalant.
1 couldnât help but force a smile. My association with Gu Yuanzhou wasnât as simple as just having a job.
It was past eleven at night by the time Wenya and Jian Jing left.
Only Ding Yinuo and I were left in this deserted mansion.
I was nervously checking the news on my phone, waiting for news from Gu
Yuanzhou and monitoring the situation.
Suddenly, Ding Yinuo reached out and snatched my phone from me.
âLetâs go, I want to take you somewhere.â
âWhere are we going so late at night?â
Ding Yinuo didnât answer me, he just handed me a jacket, âPut this on, itâs cold outside! â
I put on the jacket and held out my hand, âGive me back my phone!â
âIâll hold onto it for an hour, and then Iâll give it back to you!â
He switched my phone off and stuffed it into his pocket before walking out.
I was left with no choice but to follow him out..
