Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Are You Lacking Love?_1
I was deliberately mocking him,
“Mr. Gu, are you so love-starved now that you’re going insane?”
But he was very calm, indifferently saying,
“That’s hardly the case. You’re overestimating your charm. I just don’t like my wife being taken by someone else. As long as you come back to me, everything is up for discussion.”
I just listened to him but it was absolutely impossible for me to take him seriously.
Because, only the devil knows what vicious plans he has up his sleeve next.
If he could scheme against my uncle’s entire family, then following the logic of eradicating weeds by pulling out the roots, he definitely won’t let me off.
If I still believed him at this time, it would mean I had a screw loose in my head.
“Gu Yuanzhou, sadly, it’s time for you to wake up from your dream. I will never come back to you, because, Ding Yinuo and I are already legally married. He and I are legitimate husband and wife.”
Gu Yuanzhou, upon hearing such words, was instantly enraged.
“What?”
With just two words, I could feel his thunderous fury.
Even through the phone, I could hear him violently pounding on the desk.
“Yes! You heard me right, I’m already married to him. Oh, and we’ve had a wedding banquet attended by guests.”
“You’re insane; you married a vegetable?”
“I did so willingly!”
“Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?”
Indeed, I hadn’t publicized this news because I felt there was no need.
My marriage to Ding Yinuo in itself wasn’t something to boast about.
“I married him out of true love. I’m willing to take care of him for the rest of my life, not because I’m acting on impulse, not targeting anyone, nor seeking revenge against anyone. Don’t flatter yourself too much. Gu Yuanzhou, I’ve stopped loving you a long time ago.”
“Fine, you’ll wait and see. You will regret this.”
He hung up the phone in a fit of rage.
I stared at my phone in a daze!
His anger was somewhat baffling.
After everything he did to the Song family, how could he still expect me to be madly in love with him?
Have all the men in the world died out that I must have only him?
After hanging up the phone, I was completely sober.
I stretched and then called Wenya. Accomplishing this task indeed couldn’t be done by just me alone.
I needed help.
But Wenya was much more reliable than Shen Yishu.
After arranging everything, I called Ayu,
“I’ve considered your suggestion; let’s meet one more time to discuss in detail!”
Ayu obviously was getting impatient,
“Did you call ‘Brother Zhou’ for help?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m telling you, it’s no use! Do you think ‘Brother Zhou’ would genuinely like you, want you?”
“What did Gu Yuanzhou say to you?”
“In any case, don’t expect him to be merciful. He won’t show you any favor.”
“Enough, let’s not talk about this now. We’ll discuss the details when we meet.”
I arranged the time and place with him, then hung up.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.
I thought Wenya had come over. When I opened the door, to my surprise, it was Shen Yishu.
He was holding a takeout food container in both hands.
“Aren’t you going to the office today?”
“Oh, I was just passing by and thought I’d pick up breakfast for you on the way!”
I took the breakfast, looking intently at Shen Yishu,
“There’s something I need your help with!”
“What? Speak up!”
When I mentioned that I needed help, Shen Yishu’s face immediately lit up with joy, and he could barely contain his eagerness.
It was clear that this silly kid had been waiting for me to rely on him again.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that.
I simply took out a document and handed it to him,
“Go to my company and find Jia Yuyan later, there are a few designs in here that need improvement, and I’ve annotated them. Take them to her, and after she has made the revisions, bring them back to me.”
This thick document, which I had revised for a month, would probably keep Jia Yuyan busy until tonight.
At least this way, I could keep Shen Yishu tied up for the whole day.
“Alright, that’s doable!”
As expected, Shen Yishu didn’t refuse and drove off with the document.
I picked up the breakfast he had brought back for me.
Soup dumplings, hot soy milk…
They were all my favorites.
Shen Yishu still knew my tastes very well.
After finishing breakfast, I went to find another friend…
Until Wenya called me,
“It’s all settled. That old lady is quite simple and honest. I really can’t figure it out. Such a kind old lady, how could she have a grandson so vicious.”
“Maybe she just spoiled him too much!”
“The old lady is quite reasonable. I explained everything to her, and she’s willing to cooperate with us. She also said she didn’t know Ayu had done so many bad things, especially after finding out Ayu turned Ding Yinuo into a vegetable. The old lady was panicking, kept saying she wanted to apologize to Ding Yinuo’s family. Then I told her you’re Ding Yinuo’s wife, so in the end, she can apologize to you. This old lady is really nice; I didn’t even know how to coax her out.”
“Hmm, there’s no other way. If it weren’t for Ayu who has no other weaknesses, I wouldn’t want to bother this old lady either.”
“Yeah! Ayu is also a strange man, so old yet not settled down or in love, doesn’t even have a woman… Ah well, it’s all settled now. The old lady is staying at the Summit Hotel now. I’m here with her. Where will you meet with Ayu later?”
“We won’t go to the Summit right away. I’m afraid that if he sees the old lady, he might take her away forcibly, and then we would lose our negotiating chip. Let’s arrange to meet at the Sunset Cafe at the foot of the mountain.”
“Okay, hope everything goes smoothly!”
“Yeah, it will!”
I specifically chose 6:00 PM!
At this time, night just falls, and the Sunset Cafe is not crowded.
When I pushed the door and entered, Ayu hadn’t arrived yet.
I ordered myself a cup of coffee and slowly sipped it…
Around 6:30 PM, Ayu finally hurried in.
“You’re late!”
Ayu sat down on the chair,
“Cut the crap, just say what you have to say! But I can tell you clearly, I won’t back down.”
“Is that what you think, or what Gu Yuanzhou thinks?”
“Whose idea it is doesn’t matter…”
I didn’t say anything but pointed at the fruit stall in front,
“I ordered a birthday cake and seem to have forgotten to bring a knife. Could you please borrow one from the owner for me?”
Indeed, there was a small birthday cake on my table, small enough for two people to share, in addition to two cups of coffee.
Ayu looked at me with annoyance, “Don’t you have hands? Go borrow it yourself.”
I laughed softly, “You’ve made such a big gain this time, what’s the harm in borrowing a knife for me?”
Although Ayu was very reluctant, borrowing a knife was still a trivial matter, and the fruit stall owner was nearby, not far away.
He probably just wanted to get it over with quickly, then he brought the fruit knife in, tossed it in front of me,
“Cut it yourself, quick!”
Ignoring him, I glanced at the knife, then pushed one of the two cups of coffee I had ordered earlier across to him.
“Thanks for the effort, Ayu really is quite the gentleman! Today, this coffee’s on me!”
Ayu scoffed contemptuously and then took the coffee and drank.
This coffee had been cooling for quite some time, not too cold nor too hot, and Ayu, being thirsty, downed it in one gulp…
