Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Turns out He is a Romantic 1
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the banquet table was already empty.
Only Gu Yuanzhou was left in the private room.
Yet he seemed still in a drinking mood, lifting his glass, one drink after another.
“President Gu, I have a friend who is the top prize winner of this years TIF Fashion Design petition. I would like to remend her for an internship at our pany. What do you think?”
As Gu Yuanzhou’s assistant, introducing one or two interns to him was nothing out of the ordinary.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou put down his glass and slowly turned his gaze towards Ye Mengyan.
I remember seeing Ye Mengyan at the pany last time.
At that time, Gu Yuanzhou was scolding Luo Zizhou, telling him not to let Ye Mengyan e again.
This time, the two of them were together face-to-face. I wanted to see how they could conceal their feelings.
Gu Yuanzhou did not speak, but Ye Mengyan seemed quite nervous.
She stood awkwardly in place, her hands fidgeting together. The look in her eyes as she looked at Gu Yuanzhou was full of hope.
Obviously, she wanted to walk her own path.
Just then, the sudden ringing of my cellphone interrupted my thoughts.
“Excuse me, President Gu, I need to take this call.’ 1 hurriedly picked up my phone and walked out.
The call was from Shen Yishu.
When I returned to the private room after finishing the call.
I found Gu Yuanzhou already drunk and passed out on the table. “Uh… Xiaoyun, President Gu is drunk. What should we do?”
“It’s fine, let’s take him home!”
Ye Mengyan hesitated for a moment, then she agreed and helped me support the drunken Gu Yuanzhou out of the room.
I drove the car, with Ye Mengyan supporting Gu Yuanzhou in the back seat.
Along the way, I frequently glanced at Ye Mengyan through the rear view
mirror.
Gu Yuanzhou’s cheeks were flushed and his eyes tightly closed. He appeared to have fallen asleep, leaning against the seatback.
Ye Mengyan sat next to him, but maintained a sensible distance.
Besides occasionally turning her head to look at Gu Yuanzhou, she made no other moves.
From the hotel to Gu Yuanzhou’s residence, during the forty minutes, the two of them did not show any intimate gestures. Not at all like a couple.
Under normal circumstances, if two people who had intimate relations sat together, they could not possibly be this calm.
Could it be because I was there, they were on guard?
Indeed, although I was Gu Yuanzhou’s secretary, I was after all an outsider. A cunning old fox like Gu Yuanzhou would never leave any handles for others to catch.
The car stopped at a red light.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Mengyan asked.
I turned my head to look at Gu Yuanzhou and then at Ye Mengyan.
“Uh, 1 don’t know where President Gu e s home is.’
The villa in Golden Bay had bee ruins after the fire.
Recently, as far as I know, Gu Yuanzhou was living in the pany for a while. There was a lounge behind the CEO’s office that was suitable for daily rest.
There was also a time when he was living at a hotel.
Theoretically, I should take him to the hotel at the moment, but I was extra cautious…
If Gu Yuanzhou had a mistress outside, he must certainly have a secret place to meet her, right?
Ye Mengyan turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou and softly called him twice,
“President Gu! ”
But it was no use. Gu Yuanzhou was far too drunk.
She called him but he didn’t react.
“In that case… drive forward towards East Changan Street…”
Guided by Ye Mengyan’s instructions, I parked the car in a secluded high-end residential plex.
Maple Mansion No. 99!
Staring at this house number, I fell into deep thought.
All the properties here are high-end villas, beautifully landscaped, filled with blooming wisteria flowers that smell heavenly.
Unlike the villas in Golden Bay, the winding paths here cater to tranquility and charm; it really is the perfect place to keep a mistress.
I racked my brain, wondering when Gu Yuanzhou purchased such a house.
In the end, I couldn’t recall a thing.
During my moment of stupor, Ye Mengyan had already helped Gu Yuanzhou out of the car.
“Xiaoyun, e, give me a hand!”
It appears Ye Mengyan is quite familiar with this place…
Moreover, while she helped Gu Yuanzhou enter the house, she confidently input the password for the electronic lock on the gate.
After the door opened, Ye Mengyan guided Gu Yuanzhou into the bedroom.
I walked into the restroom, silently splashed a handful of cold water on my face.
A few minutes later, Ye Mengyan came out of the room. When she looked at me, her face showed a hint of guilt.
“Xiaoyun, I know, you must have many doubts. Sit down, let’s have a good talk! ”
It seems Ye Mengyan was preparing to reveal the truth to me.
I nodded and sat down, while Ye Mengyan effortlessly opened a cupboard and took out a pack of tea leaves. She brewed the tea and handed it over to me.
“You can have some tea first!”
“Looking at how familiar you are with this place, did you happen to live here before?”
Gu Yuanzhou had bought a house behind my back, had secretly interacted with Ye Mengyan behind my back…
I dared not imagine how much Gu Yuanzhou had hidden from me during our marriage?
In order to not make Ye Mengyan suspicious, I had to pretend to stay calm on the surface.
“Actually, I knew President Gu from before.” Ye Mengyan sighed.
“Oh? I see. So, 1 was worrying about nothing!’
“No, no, it’s not like that, Xiaoyun. I appreciate your good intentions. Actually, even though I know President Gu, he wouldn’t allow me to work at Zhenyi
Group.”
As soon as Ye Mengyan finished speaking, she sighed deeply.
She plucked a leaf from a potted plant and idly tore it apart.
“Then, you two… ‘
“Sigh, didn’t I tell you before? President Gu and his wife Sister Song were the sponsors for my education! Actually, I had some private interactions with President Gu…
Ye Mengyan struggled to say.
I remained silent.
Actually, this was within my expectation. After seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s supplementary bank card in Ye Mengyan’s dorm room last time, I had already suspected this.
“Xiaoyun, I’m truly sorry. I previously didn’t tell you the truth. This was because President Gu asked for absolute secrecy and not divulge anything to anyone.”
1 wondered, “Did he really say that?”
“Yes. You see, his status is quite significant. If his petitors found out about certain things, they would use it as leverage to attack him. Moreover, with everything happening in his family currently, if the media came to know about his private interactions with me, it would definitely be portrayed scandalously. In fact, President Gu is also very troubled. He’s faced with troubles everywhere, and his public opinion is not favorable.”
Having said that, Ye Mengyan took out some documents from her bag.
These were recent negative news about Gu Yuanzhou and Zhenyi pany. Ye Mengyan had collected them from the Internet, printed them, and piled them into a document.
It was obvious that she cared more about Gu Yuanzhou than I had expected.
A coughing sound came from the room.
Ye Mengyan immediately stood up, “You wait here for a moment!”
“Alright!
I nodded.
Ye Mengyan poured a glass of warm water and brought it into the bedroom.
She was very careful, always shutting the door behind her.
I can’t see anything from the outside.
My mind was in turmoil!
