I increasingly found that being with Gu Yuanzhou gave me a sense of walking on thin ice.
He seemed to know a lot about me.
I shifted my gaze,
“What did my mom say to you this time? She is such a gossip, loves to spin stories! Moreover, she just told me that you have feelings for me! Please don’t believe her.”
I deliberately used some exaggerated language, trying to get more truth from him.
However, before my voice even dropped, he said,
“Your mom wasn’t wrong!”
“What wasn’t she wrong about?”
“Xun Yixuan… your fiancé!”
He threw out another new name.
I was stunned for a moment,
“My mom told you these things too?”
“Why, is there a problem?”
“There’s no problem, it’s just… I didn’t expect my mom to be such a gossip!”
My anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Thankfully he didn’t bring up Ding Yinuo.
Gu Yuanzhou stood in front of me, his tone getting heavier,
“So, do you plan to break up with him?”
In truth, I didn’t know who Xun Yixuan was.
I had no impression of him.
However, to give myself some future excuses for not going to work, I decided not to ‘break up’ with Xun Yixuan.
After all, in reality, I didn’t need to entertain him, and so I asked,
“President Gu, are you also managing my personal affairs?”
Gu Yuanzhou suddenly changed the topic,
“Of course, I won’t interfere with an employee’s personal life. However, as the boss, I hope you can focus all your energy on work, rather than letting personal affairs affect it.”
“Rest assured, President Gu, I can clearly distinguish between public and private matters! My personal feelings will not affect my work.”
My answer didn’t seem to satisfy Gu Yuanzhou.
He walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving me with one more comment,
“Quite stubborn!”
After that, he never once asked about Ding Yinuo.
However, every now and then he would inquire about my parents…
These actions of Gu Yuanzhou made me more and more incapable of figuring him out. Why did he bring my parents into the company and get so close to them?
How much does he actually know?
Is he investigating me? Or does he have some other plan?
I couldn’t figure him out.
In order not to raise any more suspicions with Gu Yuanzhou, I avoided Ding Yinuo and tried my best not to have any contact with him.
When I returned to Maple Mansion after work in the evening,
Ye Mengyan mysteriously pulled me to the gateway.
“Xiaoyun, I have made a decision and I hope you won’t mind too much!”
“What’s that?”
“My cousin-aunt has nowhere to go. Because she is a suspect, no hotel or guesthouse is willing to keep her. She also can’t leave A City, so I temporarily brought her here to live with us. Don’t worry, she won’t cause any inconvenience to you.”
“Oh, but this house isn’t mine. As long as President Gu agrees, I have no right to oppose.”
Ye Mengyan finally sighed in relief, “Big Brother Gu naturally won’t object. Besides, he is quite sympathetic to my cousin’s plight.”
As she spoke, Ye Mengyan sighed again.
“I initially introduced her to get a job at Golden Bay out of goodwill, but who would’ve thought my good intentions would bring about a catastrophe.”
If it had been in the past, I might have sympathized with Ye Mengyan when she spoke like this.
