My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy-Chapter 342 - : It Turns Out He Was the One Behind That Game_1

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: It Turns Out He Was the One Behind That Game_1

He Manyi was on the phone, completely oblivious to my presence behind her.

Fortunately, it was already after work hours, and there weren’t many people in the office, so I easily avoided being detected.

He Manyi stood on the steps making a call for a while before she entered the elevator.

I didn’t take the same elevator as her but noticed that it stopped on the third floor…

I directly took the fire escape, climbing the stairs, and around the corner, I spotted He Manyi standing together with Gu Yuanzhou.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come here anymore?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s voice was low, containing traces of a roar.

He Manyi crossed her arms and huffed,

“President Gu, why so fierce! When you sent me to entangle Song Shixiong, I did as you instructed and completed the task perfectly. If it weren’t for me aiding you, where would you be in smoothly acquiring Huaxin Group now?”

“The payment you deserved was given to you long ago!”

“That’s not it, President Gu, I’m in a bit of a difficult situation now! Even if you just lend it to me, I’m not asking for much, only a hundred thousand will do.”

“Not a penny more!”

I was utterly shocked by their conversation.

So He Manyi had been deliberately placed by Gu Yuanzhou’s side by my uncle, which means.

My uncle’s so-called affair was also orchestrated by Gu Yuanzhou.

Seeing this, I was once again stunned.

Gu Yuanzhou, how many more terrible and dirty secrets are you keeping from me?

The more I found out, the more I realized how little I knew about Gu Yuanzhou.

At this moment, I descended two more steps.

I just saw Gu Yuanzhou call in security and have He Manyi thrown out.

He Manyi seemed to be unwilling to leave; cursing as she went,

“President Gu, what you’re doing is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. I’m telling you, if you don’t wire me the money, tomorrow I will reveal all your schemes against the Song Family, from the very beginning till now.”

Gu Yuanzhou chuckled with his hands in his pockets,

“You think I’d be afraid of you? If you dare to cause trouble, believe me or not, I can make you live less than three days.”

Such a threat was indeed very effective.

After hearing this, He Manyi immediately fell silent and didn’t dare to make a scene.

While being dragged out, she was completely quiet.

Just as I was in shock.

Suddenly, a low shout resounded,

“Stop hiding, come out!”

I slowly walked out of the stairwell, with Gu Yuanzhou watching me from the steps.

It seems he had discovered me quite some time ago.

I slowly made my way out.

“What, skulking around and still don’t dare to come see me?”

“It seems, Miss Anuo was also deliberately placed by you beside Song Shixiong?”

“You ask knowingly?”

He just admitted it so casually, which was a bit beyond my expectations.

“No more cover-ups?”

“It’s not necessary! At this point, A City is already under my control, nothing can stop me now!” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

I was furious, but I still had to maintain composure on the surface, as I came here today with a purpose.

I took a deep breath, “What are you after, wanting to destroy the Song Family?”

“After what? Do you want to know?”

“Yes, I want to know!”

“Now’s not the time to talk about it, I’m very busy…”

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at his watch.

“Wait!”

Seeing him about to turn away, I stopped him.

“What is it?”

I hesitated for a moment,

“About what just happened, I want to know. The matters between you and the Song Family, I want to hear you tell me yourself! I know there must be a reason you’re doing this to the Song Family.”

Gu Yuanzhou, after hearing me speak like this, his expression did seem to soften a bit.

He walked up to me in just a few steps and reached out to caress my cheek,

“Do you really want to hear it?”

“Yes, I don’t want to be kept in the dark.”

“Alright then, let’s talk about it properly after work.”

At that time, Gu Yuanzhou’s voice was especially gentle.

“Let’s meet somewhere!”

“Where?”

“I have thought of a very quiet place, far from the hustle and bustle of the city! The hotel is integrated with nature, and the scenery is very beautiful. It’s a great place for leisurely vacations. Shall I go ahead and wait for you there?”

Gu Yuanzhou pondered for a few minutes,

“Where is it?”

“Lakeside Hotel!”

My heart pounded wildly as I said those four words.

I tried hard to maintain a natural smile to prevent Gu Yuanzhou from spotting any flaws.

Gu Yuanzhou frowned deeply,

“That place is too far from here. Isn’t it inconvenient at this late hour?”

“It is because it’s a bit farther away and less crowded that I want some peace, so it will be just the two of us…”

I softly bit on the last sentence.

Gu Yuanzhou seemed to grasp the meaning behind my words.

After a moment of thought, he agreed, “Fine, we’ll go together. You don’t have to go ahead, wait for me to get off work.”

“Oh, okay then!”

Gu Yuanzhou really was busy. He had just agreed to my suggestion,

when his phone rang, and he walked straight into the elevator while answering the call.

I leaned against the wall, exhaling a long breath.

After a while, when my breathing had evened out, I picked up my phone and made a call to Song Siwen.

“It’s set! Be ready tonight!”

“Alright, we are all prepared!”

After hanging up, my heart rate remained at an accelerated level.

I didn’t know if we would truly succeed tomorrow.

But having already succeeded halfway was still an occasion for gratitude.

After leaving Huaxin Group, I went back to the Ding Family home.

I always felt that this trip carried great risks, and I had to visit the people at the Ding Family’s home.

Whether it was Ding’s mother or Ding Xiao, they had treated me very well, just like family.

I was uncertain if the plan to trap Gu Yuanzhou would succeed, and if it failed, I feared I might not have a chance to survive.

Because Gu Yuanzhou might very well want to kill me.

I bought for Ding Ruirui the strawberry bear she had always wanted, Li’sa’s Queen Elsa long dress, and a matching backpack.

And for Ding’s mother, I bought some calming supplements as well as donkey-hide gelatin and polygonum.

She had poor sleep and a head full of white hair, and this polygonum could help her with those.

Ding’s mother was very happy to see me, hastily pouring tea for me…

Ding Ruirui was even more enthusiastic, climbing onto my lap, hugging my neck and acting coy, “Auntie, don’t leave tonight. Can you sleep over with me, please?”

“I can’t tonight, maybe another day!”

“What about tomorrow?”

Looking into the child’s clear eyes, I didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

If I agreed and then couldn’t come back tomorrow, wouldn’t that be breaking my promise and disappointing the child?

Yet, if I refused her, she might start to think I didn’t love her anymore.

After much consideration, I diverted the topic, telling her a story and then watching an animated movie together.

In the afternoon, Ding’s mother started making dumplings, and I stayed by her side to help her wrap them. During that time, she expressed her feelings,

“I wonder when Anou will get better. Once he’s recovered, you two should hurry up and have a child”

I smiled and before I could answer, my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw it was Gu Yuanzhou calling.
