Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Her Haven 1

Her voice was very gentle.

Listening to it was especially soothing…

Although Gu Yuanzhou’s injury was publicly announced online, if nobody privately informed Ye Mengyan…

How could Ye Mengyan accurately locate Gu Yuanzhou among hundreds of hospitals in the city?

I was considering what Shen Yishu had said.

Ye Mengyan used to go out every Friday…

And Gu Yuanzhou also happened to have social engagements every Friday.

The relationship between these two is anything but simple.

Pausing for a few seconds, I still decided to leave.

The next morning at eight o’clock, I received a call from Gu Yuanzhou, he asked me to prepare his suit and take it to the hospital.

At the hospital entrance, I just happened to bump into Ye Mengyan. Ye Mengyan’s eyes were slightly red, it seems she had stayed with him all night.

“Xiaoyun!’

She greeted me.

“I saw in the news that Big Brother Gu was hospitalized, so I came to see him!” “Hmm! Aren’t you going to stay a little longer?”

“No, I have class at school. Besides, I’d rather not be seen by the media during the day.”

“Oh, well, goodbye then!”

In fact, there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask Ye Mengyan.

But in the end, I didn’t ask them.

What should I ask?

Did she seduce Gu Yuanzhou these past four years?

No, that’s impossible.

A poor, well-mannered female student would never seduce her benefactor’s husband.

So the only truth must be that Gu Yuanzhou, using his position, slowly captivated her after giving Ye Mengyan some favors.

I understand Gu Yuanzhou.

This man is very picky.

Not every woman who throws herself at him would catch his eye.

But once he sets his sights on something, he’ll get it by any means. So, if the two of them are in a relationship, it’s undoubtedly Gu Yuanzhou’s fault.

I did not blame Ye Mengyan.

But after this incident, it’s as if a needle were pricking my heart.

I could not love Gu Yuanzhou as I once did anymore.

When I pushed open the door to his room with his clothes, I found that Gu Yuanzhou was already out of bed.

He was struggling to walk step by step from the bed to the window.

His wound from the abdominal surgery was only a day old, and the pain caused by such movement is unimaginable for ordinary people.

I quickly went up to dissuade him.

“President Gu, the doctor said, you should at least rest in bed for three days. You can’t walk around like this! This can tear the wound…

In fact, Gu Yuanzhou’s face was already covered in beads of sweat, and he was as pale as a sheet.

But there was still a fierce determination in his dark eyes.

Ignored my persuasion, he would not concede.

Clenching his teeth, he walked back and forth several times.

Finally, he sat down on the bed, “Did you bring my suit?”

“I brought it, it’s here!”

I moved the suitcase next to the bed.

He reached out to unbutton his shirt, then suddenly stopped and looked at me, saying in a deep voice: “Please step out!”

“Oh, okay, I’ll go out now!”

The familiar patterns of intimacy of an eventual decade-long marriage often made me overlook many small details.

I forgot that I was now a stranger, that I should turn away when he changed clothes.

I quietly stepped out into the hallway and closed the door for him.

Half an hour later, Gu Yuanzhou was already dressed in his suit and tie.

To my surprise, he even took a bath. As of now, his hair was still wet.

Despite looking much more spirited, his pale face was the only indicator of how serious his condition was.

“Summon the driver, we’re going back to the company!’ I was shocked.

“President Gu, you’re not fit to leave the hospital yet!’

“There’s a new product launching today, and I will not be absent!”

“But… the company, however important, isn’t as important as your health!”

Gu Yuanzhou replied calmly, “It’s easy to give up, but hard to persevere. If I don’t strive myself, how can I expect my company to prosper?”

I was speechless.

This was indeed his nature, fighting till the end!

Perhaps, it was his charm that attracted me, as he was always persistent and tenacious!

This man, aside from having an affair with Ye Mengyan, seemingly had no flaws.

Due to his insistence on being discharged, his doctor was also rushed over. However, despite reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions, they couldn’t persuade Gu Yuanzhou.

To prevent any accidents, I asked the doctor for a pain-killer injection for Gu Yuanzhou, so that he didn’t encounter any issues due to pain at the launch.

Half an hour later, Gu Yuanzhou appeared at the product launch.

His arrival created a buzz throughout the venue.

Just a moment ago, the host stated that the president wouldn’t be able to attend due to an assault on the company.

The next moment, his impressive figure appeared.

All the employees went up with a thunderous applause that lasted a while.

From the looks of it, all employees genuinely respected him.

Gu Yuanzhou waved in recognition, and as he took to the microphone, his charisma was in full display.

He confidently outlined the company’s future prospects, stirring up excitement among the audience, and showcased our new products.

No doubt about it, the timing of this new product launch by Gu Yuanzhou was perfect.

The new line of children’s clothing received a massive response from the mother fans, leading to a spike in sales that crashed our website due to the traffic.

Gu Yuanzhou pulled off the new product launch despite his injuries.

Later, he made a guest appearance in the live- streaming room of our products, making quite a noise.

While the company’s revenue was at its peak, the assault case was cracked.

When I returned to the office, I saw Gu Yuanzhou talking with a man in a suit.

“President Gu, these are the surveillance tapes from around our hotel. We have identified the faces of the two individuals. Have a look.” Upon hearing these words, I instantly had a bad feeling.

I quickly excused myself out of the office.

Hurriedly, I dashed into the corridor.

I dialed Wenya’s number on my cell phone.

“Listen, Wenya… pack up and leave immediately.”

“I’m not leaving! Ayun, I don’t regret what I’ve done.”

“But, Gu Yuanzhou has recognized the faces of those two people, If things go as expected, he will find them by this afternoon. You know, with big data and police assistance, they could be found any moment. Why don’t you leave the country for now?”

My concern was to avoid my friend getting involved, and the best option seemed to be to urge her to leave as soon as possible.

However, Wenya, acting as if nothing happened,

“It’s okay! Ayun, I’m in class right now, I’ll talk to you later!”

Watching her being so laid back and carefree, I was anxious.

Desperate, I booked her a flight to Thailand on my phone, managed to get an advance on my salary from finance, transferred it to her account, then texted her to leave.

By noon, I approached Gu Yuanzhou’s office once again.

I wanted to find out the progress of the investigation.

As I entered, I was stunned to see Wenya there!

I had no idea when she had entered. At that moment, she was standing in front of Gu Yuanzhou, locked in a tense stare-off.

I quickly tried to escort Wenya away,

“Ma’am, I think you’re in the wrong place. Please leave!”

Wenya, however, pushed me away and confronted Gu Yuanzhou.

“You can stop your investigation.. The one who ordered the attack on you, was me!”
