Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Respond to Violence with Violence, Mistaken Identity _1

At first, I thought it was Gu Yuanzhou who called, but upon closer examination, it was Wu Lijuan.

I looked down the pier, there were no headlights in sight.

I figured Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t arrived yet. I had time to take the call.

So I answered.

“Auntie, what can I do for you?”

“No major issues, I just wanted to tell you. My youngest son is back in the country! Song Zexi… that child, he actually left in the morning and only just told me.”

“Is he in A City?”

“He’s arrived, but he said he’s heading straight to Huaxin to deal with some things. Xiaosong, I’m telling you this to reassure you. Things will get better, my son will sort everything out.”

Wu Lijuan seemed very excited, her words were a jumble.

Yet, I had no expectations for this younger cousin of mine.

He’s a lawyer, a bookish scholar. He lacks any sort of wolfish instinct. Can he really save the Huaxin Group?

However, these were just my worries. I didn’t voice them, but just went along with Wu Lijuan’s conversation.

“Hmm, you should get some rest. There will certainly be a solution tomorrow.”

“Yes, yes, Xiaosong, you’ve been working hard lately!”

It was only after finishing my conversation with Wu Lijuan that something struck me as off. Upon closer look, I realized that the yacht’s ropes had been untied.

The yacht was lightly floating towards the depths of the sea, drifting further and further away from shore.

I turned around and saw that an extra person had appeared on the deck.

She was wearing a white dress, with her long hair bundled behind her, and an expensive necklace hanging around her neck.

She was grinning at me.

It was Ye Mengyan!

Recently, I have been so busy with matters regarding the Song family that I completely overlooked Ye Mengyan.

I did not expect her to board the yacht while I was off-guard… Her arrival undoubtedly disrupted my plans.

She circled the table, observing the champagne on the table under the candlelight, she gazed at me with her chin tilted.

“Tsk, dressed so seductively, who are you trying to tempt?”

I couldn’t be bothered to quarrel with her,

“Ye Mengyan, if you have any sense, you better get lost. You’re not welcome here!”

“Song Xiaoyun, didn’t you say you don’t care about Gu Yuanzhou? You are already engaged to Ding Yinuo, yet you’re still trying to seduce Gu Yuanzhou. How shameless are you?”

Ye Mengyan’s eyes were filled with rage.

“If I hadn’t secretly checked Gu Yuanzhou’s phone, I wouldn’t have known. You actually stooped so low as to seduce him!!”

“And a candlelit dinner, heh, planning on getting drunk and letting something happen here?”

“Ye Mengyan, you better leave right now! What happens between Gu Yuanzhou and me is none of your business!”

“Funny, you think you can still expect Gu Yuanzhou to show up? The text you sent him… I’ve already deleted it…”

What Ye Mengyan revealed left me aghast.

“So, don’t act as if he’s going to come. He won’t…”

“Ye Mengyan, what are you trying to do?”

“I heard that you and Gu Yuanzhou have a deal. If you don’t give him a complete answer tonight, he’ll consider you in breach of the contract, right?”

“And then?”

“Oh, I figure that everything he’s been doing, including acquiring Huaxin Group, he’s doing it for the benefit of Zhenyi Company. So, I can’t let him wait for your answer any longer.”

Only at that moment did I realize how ruthless the woman in front of me was.

She not only disrupted my entire plan but wanted to push me deeper into the abyss. Her actions could destroy the Song family.

She was absolutely wicked.

At this point, the yacht, having released the safety rope, had drifted onto the sea, far from the pier.

Ye Mengyan sat on the couch, smiling at me.

“Can you drive a yacht? If not, we will have to wait for the coast guard to rescue us tomorrow!”

“How boring. Do you really think I can’t get in touch with Gu Yuanzhou?”

I pick up my phone and dial Gu Yuanzhou’s number on the spot.

However, Gu Yuanzhou doesn’t pick up…

Even after multiple calls, he still doesn’t answer.

Ye Mengyan is laughing at me,

“It’s no use, his phone is broken! If I’m not mistaken, his phone is out for repair now, you won’t be able to reach him.”

“Are you sick? Do you think if you can’t reach his phone, I can’t contact him? I can just have someone go to Zhenyi Company to find him.”

“No use! He’s not at Zhenyi Company. Look at the time, he should be socializing at a banquet now. Oh, I’m not going to tell you which one.”

Ye Mengyan laughed with a bit of reckless abandon.

I didn’t want to humor her, and strode directly into the cockpit, intending to steer the yacht back to the shore under the cover of darkness.

However, after fiddling for quite a while, I still couldn’t get the yacht started.

Ye Mengyan stood up and strolled into the cockpit,

“If I’m not mistaken, you shouldn’t know how to drive a yacht!”

“How do you know?”

“Oh, of course, I had it checked. This yacht… perhaps only a man like Gu Yuanzhou can drive it.”

“Really? I can’t drive it, so I’ll just find someone else who can!”

Just as I was about to make a call, Ye Mengyan suddenly grabbed my phone and tossed it into the sea without warning.

Watching my phone plunge into the sea, I felt a surge of anger.

At this moment, Ye Mengyan was still laughing at me.

“I told you, you won’t be able to contact Gu Yuanzhou before dawn.”

Looking at Ye Mengyan’s smug face, I was itching to use my new whip on her.

But in the end, I held back…

I silently returned to the deck and sat down at the round table, pouring myself a glass of champagne.

“Song Xiaoyun, are you angry? Do you want to borrow my phone? Hmm, what a pity, my phone is out of battery, you can’t use it now.”

She toyed with her phone in her hand.

Unruffled, I poured another glass of champagne for her.

“It seems, I have to spend the night with you?”

She looked at me and laughed,

“Song Xiaoyun, don’t you feel like it’s a waste to get all dolled up with a beautiful dress and makeup for nothing?”

“Let’s drink! We’re just whiling away the time, might as well treat it as a vacation!”

I appeared calm, emptied my glass, poured another one, and continued drinking.

After downing two glasses, I started to talk about Shen Yishu!

“By the way, Shen Yishu is a boss now, a CEO of a company, do you regret it?”

Ye Mengyan initially refused to believe me,

“Regret? Impossible! Why would I regret it? Besides, I know Shen Yishu’s abilities, he will never surpass Gu Yuanzhou in this life.”

“Gu Yuanzhou is indeed capable, but he may not marry you…”

My words seemed to hit Ye Mengyan’s weak spot, and she immediately retorted in anger,

“Nonsense, as long as you disappear, Gu Yuanzhou will definitely marry me.”

“Really? You’re overthinking, Gu Yuanzhou, such a selfish man, why would he limit himself with marriage? Once he gets bored with you, wouldn’t he just find another woman? If you don’t believe me, look carefully, does he have any intention of marrying you now?”

My words may have truly irked Ye Mengyan. She picked up the glass in front of her, downing the champagne in one gulp.

A faint smile curled up at my lips. Not long after, under the effect of the drug, Ye Mengyan fell asleep on the couch with her phone falling onto the floor.
