My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 137: 137 We were together last night_1

Translator: 549690339

There was a moment when I genuinely wanted to run away from Gu Yuanzhou.

Because what Wenya said was correct.

As long as I live by Gu Yuanzhou’s side, I will never be able to forget the past, nor step away from those shadows.

I would constantly be trapped in hell, in the company of pain.

However, if I were to leave, it wouldn’t be now.

“Wenya, unless I can retrieve all my property, you said it yourself, didn’t you? He betrayed me at the very least! I won’t let my property end up in Ye Mengyan’s hands.”

The moment I finished speaking, a loud sneeze rang out.

I suspect that right now, in some place, Ye Mengyan must be cursing me.

In the afternoon.

When I went to the president’s office.

Ye Mengyan was also there. She no longer seemed to care about others’ opinions and freely entered and left Gu Yuanzhou’s office.

She was originally laughing and joking with Gu Yuanzhou, but the moment her gaze fell upon my wrist, her smile disappeared instantly.

Slowly turning into confusion.

“Xiaoyun, where did you get this jade bracelet?”

I lowered my head to look, only realising now that I had forgotten to remove the jade bracelet after last night’s turmoil.

I directed a slight smile towards Gu Yuanzhou, saying nothing.

But Ye Mengyan didn’t seem willing to let this go and asked again,

“Xiaoyun, can I take a look at the bracelet?”

“Sure, no problem!”

I casually removed the bracelet from my wrist and handed it to Ye Mengyan.

Without meaning to, I glanced at Gu Yuanzhou.

His complexion didn’t seem too good, but he stayed silent.

Ye Mengyan examined the bracelet for some time, apparently recognizing its value,

“Xiaoyun, with the current price of jade so high, this bracelet can’t be worth less than a hundred thousand, right?”

Although I hadn’t seen the invoice received from Gu Yuanzhou, I knew the bracelet was worth far more than that.

“Probably worth more!”

“That expensive? Xiaoyun, which friend of yours is so wealthy to gift such a valuable present?”

Ye Mengyan was deliberately trying to get information out of me.

I had no intention of hiding it anyway. I’d rather she made a big fuss with Gu Yuanzhou. The bigger, the better.

“Oh, it was my birthday gift last night from President Gu.”

“Birthday gift?”

Apparently sensing trouble, Ye Mengyan hastily pressed for more information.

“You were together last night?”

“Miss Ye, have some tea! There are certain things that are best left unsaid!”

I didn’t answer her question, just handed her a cup of tea.

This kind of elusive method seemed to infuriate Ye Mengyan even more.

Taking advantage of Gu Yuanzhou being busy with a client’s phone call, she cornered me again.

“Xiaoyun, tell me the truth. Whatever happened between you two, I can accept it. I just want to know the truth, I don’t want to be kept in the dark. That feeling is terrifying.”

I just looked at her and smiled.

Thinking to myself, right now, isn’t she nothing to Gu Yuanzhou, not even his wife, and she can’t handle being kept in the dark?

When the two of you were together, how many years did you keep me in the dark?

I still remained silent.

Only then did Ye Mengyan plead anxiously again.

“Xiaoyun, whatever happened between you two last night, I can accept it.”

I glanced at her,

“From what I see, Gu Yuanzhou treats you pretty well. Considering he’s willing to spend so much on you, it means he values you. So why don’t you have any trust in him?”

“He’s spent a lot of money on you too, hasn’t he?”

“Hehe… You’re right. Last night, we went to that couple’s hotel!”

As I said this, Ye Mengyan’s face was already pale. She looked at me in shock, biting her lower lip tightly.

“Was it you? Did you deliberately take him to the hotel?”

“Enough, Miss Ye. I’ve said what I have to say.”

“Song Xiaoyun, I treated you as a friend, but you took away the man I love. I’m really disappointed in you… ”

“No, from the beginning, you didn’t treat me as a friend. You just wanted to use me. Ye Mengyan, I’m not stupid!”

At my words, Ye Mengyan suddenly covered her face with her hands, sobbing quietly, as if she had been abandoned by her man.

At this time, Gu Yuanzhou had finished his call too.

He turned around and noticed Ye Mengyan crying quietly.

“What’s wrong?”

He put down his phone and walked up to her.

Ye Mengyan turned her face away.

“Why are you crying?”

He asked twice before Ye Mengyan replied,

“If Big Brother Gu doesn’t like Mengyan, then Mengyan will leave.”

Her grievance and fragile voice aroused a strong protective desire in the man.

The more she appeared to be pitiful, the more the man would comfort her.

Indeed, she was a woman who understood men very well, firmly grasping their weak spots.

I cleared my throat,

“President Gu, the meeting is about to start!”

Gu Yuanzhou was seemingly unable to leave the emotional Ye Mengyan,

“You go ahead and handle it, I’ll be there later.”

“Alright!”

I turned and walked away.

However, after waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Yuanzhou still hadn’t arrived,

So I took the initiative to preside over the entire meeting.

It was a company that I had founded single-handedly, after all. Its operational concepts and policy guidelines were all deeply ingrained in me.

It was just as well that he wasn’t there. I could use the opportunity to make some personnel adjustments.

Sometimes I wondered if it wouldn’t be such a bad thing for Ye Mengyan to keep Gu Yuanzhou tied up this way.

At least I could free up my hands to take over the Zhenyi Company.

Just after the meeting, I bumped into Ye Mengyan while going down the elevator.

I wonder what Gu Yuanzhou promised her.

At this moment, her face was glowing. Seeing that only the two of us were inside the elevator, she looked at me confidently and arrogantly, and chuckled.

“Xiaoyun! I asked Big Brother Gu. He didn’t touch you last night, did he?”

I raised my eyebrows, “Did I say he touched me?”

Ye Mengyan cleared her throat, “Sorry, I misunderstood you two. He doesn’t have feelings for you. Do you know why?”

“Do you think it’s because of you?”

“Whether it’s because of me, you’ll find out soon. Because… I’m about to become the image spokesperson of Zhenyi Company!”

I was stunned to hear this.

Because over the past six months, the company has launched a high-end customized product, which can be said to represent the highest standard of Zhenyi fashion.

In order to launch this product, we planned to invite a popular and well-known female star to advertise it.

The company had already picked two female stars domestically and was in the process of discussing collaboration details.

It was unexpected that Ye Mengyan would now say such a thing.

This was not a trivial matter. Ye Mengyan didn’t have the temperament, nor the fame of a female star. If she endorses our products, they’d be done for.

More importantly, Zhenyi Company is not just my hard work, but a company named after my son and daughter. How could I let a mistress be its spokesperson?

This was impossible.

Seeing my grim expression, Ye Mengyan became even more proud. She smirked,

“Recently, Big Brother Gu has spent a fortune to hire an etiquette teacher from France to train me, in preparation for later photoshoots. Hey, you tell me, if he didn’t truly love me, how could he be willing to spend so much effort on nurturing me?”

I took a deep breath, calmly telling her, “That’s impossible!”
