He Siming again?
Wen Shuyue couldn’t understand why Gu Ning cared about He Siming so much.
It would make her suspect that Gu Ning was a homosexual if he wasn’t a playboy. But since he wasn’t a homosexual, it was indeed puzzling that he mentioned He Siming so often.
Wen Shuyue took a deep breath. She said justly and forcefully, “Neither of us is married. It doesn’t hurt anyone even if we’re really together. Mr. Gu, will you just stay out of my personal business?”
“I have no interest in your personal business. I just don’t want you to hold back our business,” Gu Ning blurted out. No sooner had he finished his words than he subconsciously took a glance at Wen Shuyue to make sure he didn’t annoy her.
Wen Shuyue didn’t lose her temper, but she pulled a long face with a bitter smile. All of a sudden, she realized that she wasn’t even a patch on a nobody in Gu Ning’s eyes.
A nobody at least had freedom. Even though Gu Ning kept making advantage of the nobody, the nobody was free to decide who he dated and married with, while Wen Shuyue didn’t even have the right to date with another man.
Seeing her gloomy face, Gu Ning rolled his eyes and explained hurriedly, “I mean you’ve got to concentrate on work. If you want to defeat Lu Junhan and gain your company back, you must put it into action. It’s not the right time for you to be in a relationship, so you cannot hang out with He Siming all the time.”
Gu Ning finally managed to stammer all his words, which brought great relief to him.
“I’m sorry. I think I’m in love with He Siming, so I can’t do as you said,” Wen Shuyue said, pretending to be calm. At this moment, she didn’t want to hide her feelings for He Siming any more.
It was quite obvious actually. Anyone with some common sense could tell they had a thing for each other. Otherwise, He Siming wouldn’t possibly visit her so often and they wouldn’t be taken pictures all the time.
“What did you just say?” Gu Ning couldn’t believe what Wen Shuyue just said. She didn’t expect that she would express her feelings so directly either.
Gu Ning felt terrible, as if a big hand kept swinging his heart.
Wen Shuyue swallowed and forced herself to say, “I said I like He Siming. I hope you will stay out of my personal business, show me some respect and give me the freedom that I deserve.”
She put it precisely enough. If Gu Ning insisted on making things difficult for her, she wouldn’t show any mercy to him either.
With his head lowered, Gu Ning remained silent for quite a while. It became suffocating in the office and the air even smelled faintly bitter.
“Great. Then you will cooperate with Lu Junhan.”
Quite a moment later, Gu Ning finally broke the silence in a resigned and tough way. It seemed to be a huge decision for him to have said that.
Gu Ning slowly walked out of the office while Wen Shuyue remained there silently. Watching his lonely back, she was suddenly overwhelmed with a strange feeling. She felt that Gu Ning had kept a secret from her.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed.
Wen Shuyue pulled herself together before answering her phone.
“Mom? You’re on your way to my office now?”
Unexpectedly, Wen Shuyue’s mother called her. Her mother had been in Lu Junhan’s company just now. What made her mother visit her now?
Wen Shuyue had no idea of that and she couldn’t reject her mother anyway. So she just waited for her mother in the office.
Upon seeing Wen Shuyue in the office, her mother was almost as calm as seeing a stranger.
“Mom, what brings you to my office?” Wen Shuyue said with a smile while she felt painful on the inside.
Ever since great changes took place in her family, Wen Shuyue’s parents had changed a lot. Her mother treated her in a totally different way and even became a totally different person.
Her father, in particular, was even afraid to speak. His confidence no longer existed, which was why Wen Shuyue still had no update of any proofs of Lu Junhan’s crime.
“I heard that your company will cooperate with the Lu Group. What are you gonna do? Are you really gonna cooperate with the Lu Group?” Wen Shuyue’s mother sounded a little excited.
Wen Shuyue walked to her mother’s front and patted her back to comfort her softly, “This is the company’s decision. I can’t reject it. But don’t worry, Mum. I’ll try every possible way to gain the Lu Group back.”
“Attagirl. I know you can do that.” Tears welled up as Wen Shuyue’s mother said that. Then she took out an envelop from her bag and gave it to Wen Shuyue.
“This is…” Wen Shuyue was confused. She opened the envelop in front of her mother. As Wen Shuyue scanned the materials, her face instantly twisted terribly.
These were the proofs of Lu Junhan’s setup and something about her father.
Wen Shuyue looked at her mother, stunned. She said with unconcealable excitement, “How did you get all these? Tell me.”
“They were in a package that I received today. I sensed something wrong, so I went to the Lu Group to talk to Lu Junhan. He wasn’t there but Qin Weiwei was. So I didn’t say much,” Wen Shuyue’s mother choked with sobs. She looked so charmingly pathetic that no one could resist not comforting her.
Wen Shuyue was already emotional enough when reading these materials. Now, her mother, crying her eyes out, made her feel extremely terrible.
Tears welled up in Wen Shuyue’s eyes, but she tried hard to remain calm and said, “Mum, don’t worry. I’ll find a way to get Dad out of prison. I swear they wouldn’t have a chance to bully him again.”
“Good. The Wen family relies on you. By the way, Yueyue, you need to duplicate this. I want to keep one copy myself,” Wen Shuyue’s mother said, pulling Wen Shuyue’s hand, when thinking of something.
“Okay. I’m on my way to.”
Wen Shuyue never doubted her mother and did as told right away.
However, the moment Wen Shuyue left, her mother curled up the corners of her mouth into a cunning smile.
