Gu Yuanzhou’s words filled me with anger and shock.
How could he say such a thing?
If he truly cared so much about his wife and child, why did he keep a college girl as his mistress?
This act, putting on a show of suffering in front of Wu Lijuan, was just to gain sympathy and attention. Was he trying to earn forgiveness from Wu Lijuan, or had he run out of money and was now trying to borrow some from the Song family?
No matter the reason, I didn’t want to let him succeed.
“Mr. Gu really has some nerve to say that! Luckily, I’ve worked at Zhenyi Company long enough to know something about your manipulations, or else I might have been deceived by you too.”
Just as I finished, Gu Yuanzhou’s face indeed changed color.
Wu Lijuan asked me,
“What do you mean by ‘his manipulations’?”
I laughed and replied,
“Oh, it’s actually not such a big deal. He just has the common issue of successful men—he’s keeping a college girl as his mistress. Maybe in his mind, he thinks it’s not important?”
No sooner had I finished than Gu Yuanzhou hurriedly exclaimed,
“Auntie, don’t listen to her baseless gossip! Ayun is the only one in my heart, and besides her, I’ve never had any affairs with any other women!”
“Really, Mr. Gu? Ye Mengyan, the girl you are hiding at the Maple Mansion, she herself has admitted it! It’s common knowledge in the company. Your denial means nothing.”
“I have nothing to hide because there is nothing!”
I shrugged my shoulders, and decided not to argue with him any further.
Whether there is or not, he knows best!
I didn’t want to make things too awkward in front of Wu Lijuan.
However, seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s behavior right now, I disliked him even more.
Why is he such a person?
To what extent can he be so hypocritical?
As Wu Lijuan went into the kitchen to serve the food, Gu Yuanzhou moved closer to me.
He picked up a piece of soft ribs and put it in my bowl,
“Remember this, speak less and eat more.”
I looked at him disdainfully,
“I thought Mr. Gu has no shame! Turns out, you are just afraid of being exposed.”
Gu Yuanzhou sneered,
“You can slander me with having ten mistresses and I wouldn’t care! A clear conscience laughs at false accusations. But you need to consider Wu Lijuan’s feelings. I am her niece’s husband. Nobody would want to see their relative being replaced by someone else after death. Do you understand?”
I glanced at him dismissively,
“I don’t understand! What people want to see is the truth, not fake lies. Do you think she is a fool? Can’t she see the news and hear the rumors from others? Sooner or later, you will marry Ye Mengyan. Do you think you can hide this from her forever?”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with a significant glance,
“Stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly marry Ye Mengyan?!”
I shrugged,
“Gu Yuanzhou, remember what you said! I’ll be at your wedding, ready to slap your face!”
“There will be no such wedding! I’ve said it before. I won’t marry again!”
Gu Yuanzhou stated plainly.
Suddenly, Wu Lijuan brought a pot of stew out from the kitchen.
“By the way, Yuanzhou, how is Zhenyi Company doing recently?”
Gu Yuanzhou calmly replied,
“Very good, everything is developing in a positive direction.”
Wu Lijuan nodded,
