My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 156: 156: I Once Died in Your Hands_1

Translator: 549690339

I looked up at Gu Yuanzhou!

I thought to myself, I died by your hands in my past life, so shouldn’t I be scared of you in this life?

What kind of man are you? Don’t you know?

But, it’s not the right time to say these words, so I forcefully broke free from his grip.

“President Gu, it’s getting late. If we’re going to go, we should hurry up otherwise we’ll be late.”

I didn’t wait for him and got into the car first.

After getting into the car, I waited for a long time before Gu Yuanzhou eventually walked down. He walked very slowly.

I sat in the back seat of the car and Old Ma, glancing at the figure outside the car window, sighed,

“President Gu really got hurt badly this time, he can’t even walk properly. He used to stride around with such vitality.”

“Oh!”

I looked out of the car window and indeed, Gu Yuanzhou was still looking pale.

Normally when we had a driver, Gu Yuanzhou would sit in the front passenger seat.

But for some reason right now, he opened the rear door and sat down next to me.

“Let’s go!”

“Alright, buckle up, President Gu!”

The car started moving slowly, crossing the city’s night scene, piercing the glamour and buzz of the city life.

This time, I was so close to him.

Sometimes, the car would shake, and the street lights from outside would occasionally cast shadows through the window.

Fleeting shadows danced across Gu Yuanzhou’s deep gaze.

He still looked the same as ever, just like the countless times when we would leave work together, head home together to our lovely children waiting for us…

Back in those days, I was like a small bird, nestling happily on his shoulder, our bliss inspiring envy amongst others.

Back then, we had many dreams and hopes.

We imagined making Zhenyi Company number one globally.

We dreamed of our daughter getting married, our son starting a family, and a house bustling with grandchildren.

But now, even though I am still sitting here with him, everything is gone.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, all that’s left is an endless night.

Half an hour later, we arrived at our destination.

To my surprise, Gu Yuanzhou, who looked weak in the car, seemed to become sharp once he was standing with the clients.

It was like a fully drawn bow, ready for battle.

At the high-end hotel business meeting, the men started their business talk.

I didn’t fully understand what Gu Yuanzhou brought me for, but since it was about Zhenyi Company, I focused on every detail.

There were four men in total, and it seemed they were investing in a project. I knew these men, they were from Imperial City, especially Mr. Zhou…

This was a significant project. The client was a royal member of Thailand. The investment amount was in hundreds of millions.

I glanced at the contract and felt something wasn’t right. Though I couldn’t pinpoint any problem, my intuition told me not to sign this contract.

So I had a sudden idea. I picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Gu Yuanzhou.

I “accidentally” knocked over the coffee onto the table.

Dark coffee quickly spread over the documents, ruining the signature Gu Yuanzhou just put on the contract.

“Ah, I’m really sorry, my mistake has made this contract unusable.”

I pretended to be very anxious and started wiping with a tissue, but the more I wiped, the blurrier it became.

The other partners immediately seemed alarmed.

“What is going on? Can’t you even handle a simple task?”

I kept apologizing,

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! I’m sorry, everyone. How about this, I can photocopy another contract for you.”

Gu Yuanzhou gave me a helpless look.

He didn’t lose his temper, but I could see a reproachful look in his eyes.

“You don’t need to photocopy anything, we have a backup here!”

Mr. Zhou took out another contract from his briefcase.

This surprised me…

To prevent me from doing anything, Mr Zhou even took away the water bottle.

Their actions only made me more conscious that these people were up to no good.

Just as I was about to stop them, suddenly Mr. Zhou stood up and handed me a document.

“Can you help me photocopy this next door?”

As I walked out the door with the document in my hand, the door behind me quietly closed.

The only thing I could do was to call Gu Yuanzhou…

After three rings, he finally picked up.

“What’s up?”

“President Gu, don’t sign that document!”

“I’ve been working on this project for half a year, it does have risks, but it’s not as bad as you imagine.”

“President Gu, listen to me. That contract cannot be signed.”

“Was the spilled coffee intentional?”

“Yes, it was!”

“If you don’t want me to sign it, you need to give me a reason.”

“I don’t know… but Mrs. Gu warned me to stop you from signing the contract.”

At this moment, the only excuse I could come up with was this lame one. It may be shoddy, but perhaps it’s the only effective way right now.

Gu Yuanzhou was silent for a few minutes, “You go back home first; I’ll deal with this.”

Then he just hung up.

A few minutes later, when I returned with the copied document, that office was already empty.

I couldn’t reach Gu Yuanzhou by phone, so I went to the parking lot to find Old Ma.

The car was still there, and Old Ma was still sitting in the car, but he was on the phone with someone…

“Yes, we are at Dihao Hotel, Mr. Gu brought Miss Song here for socializing!”

I didn’t call him, just quietly stood outside the car.

Waiting for him to hang up.

“It’s Ye Mengyan, isn’t it?”

I asked casually.

Old Ma didn’t hide anything, “Yes, Miss Ye cares a lot about President Gu’s health. She often calls to remind us. Sometimes she asks me to drive slower, sometimes she reminds President Gu to take his medicine and not to stay up too late.”

I raised an eyebrow lightly. Concerned she might be, but I suppose the most important thing is surveillance, right?

I must say, Ye Mengyan is overly astute.

She even bought off the driver by Gu Yuanzhou’s side.

At this point, I suddenly understood the reality of everything…

I opened the car door and sat in.

I began to test out Old Ma.

“Old Ma, you’ve been with President Gu for so many years. What do you think of Mrs. Gu?”

“Pretty good! Mrs. Gu is a good person! She treats the nanny very well, she’s kind to me too, she even gives us red envelopes and gifts during the holidays.”

“Well, then… what do you think about Ye Mengyan?”

Old Ma was about to say something, but after a thought, he just grinned.

“Miss Song, I can’t answer this question. We, as servants, have no right to comment on the employer’s family affairs.”

I let out a soft chuckle, seeing how Old Ma was protecting Ye Mengyan, I knew he wouldn’t be easy to win over; so instead I said, “Come to think of it, Old Ma, did you offend Ye Mengyan?”

“Not at all!”

“Ah, a few days ago, Ye Mengyan complained about you in front of President Gu.”

“What? Where did she say I was not good?” Old Ma looked a bit flustered.

“Just… she said you’re getting old and you’re not driving steady. She even suggested the HR department to hire a new driver!”

Old Ma’s face turned red after hearing this. His stomach dropped and he was shocked.

“How is this possible? I’ve been loyal to Miss Ye, how could she fire me? No, I have to ask her about this.”

Trust between people is not as strong as you might think.

Even though Ye Mengyan regards Old Ma as her trusted aide, but when she wants to turn on him, it can happen in minutes.
