My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 712 She Will Be My Wife (2)

Gu Ningyi’s thoughts were swirling in his eyes, his brows knitted tighter.

The time he spent with Dong Xin Yan was too short, so short that there wasn’t time to make it public. The only people who knew about their relationship were a few close friends, yet his mother knew too?

Could it be that, just like before, she was still spying on him, wanting to control his every move?

So, to make Dong Xin Yan give up, she deliberately concealed the fact that he was still alive?

No, after he took over the Gu Group, his mother no longer dared to openly do such things. If she were monitoring him, there’s no way he wouldn’t have noticed. She wouldn’t do things that would damage their mother-son relationship anymore.

If it’s not that, then someone must have said something to her. At one time, there were rumors about him and Dong Xin Yan, but they were quickly overshadowed by the news of his engagement to Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi wouldn’t go spreading these things, so the only possibility is... Zhou Yalin?

After he came to the United States, he’d been through too much, subconsciously unwilling to pay attention to matters back home, so he was completely uninformed about things domestically.

"Miss Zhou was sentenced three months ago. Although she injured someone, it wasn’t fatal, and she voluntarily turned herself in, with a good attitude admitting her mistake. Coupled with a strong team of lawyers defending her, Miss Zhou was only sentenced to two years, and with good behavior, she might even get a reduction."

"And the Zhou Group?"

"Since we terminated our cooperation with the Zhou Group, their stock prices have been falling. Many directors have been pulling out their investments, thinking the Zhou Group would soon collapse. Unexpectedly, a large sum of funds suddenly flowed into the Zhou Group, stabilizing the situation, and they are now transitioning smoothly."

The light in Gu Ningyi’s eyes gradually dimmed; it seems his guess this time... was correct again.

It was Zhou Yalin who told his mother about him and Dong Xin Yan. So, in exchange, did his mother help her?

No, he knows his mother. She is a person with clear goals and interests. No matter how fond she is of Zhou Yalin, she couldn’t have helped her so much just because of this small matter, unless... Zhou Yalin did something that she couldn’t refuse.

Gu Ningyi gently closed his eyes.

Some things, he didn’t want to think about, because that was his mother.

However... if some things, she really did get involved in, or it was even her idea from the start, he wouldn’t forgive her.

"Secretary Lin, keep the fact that I’m alive a secret for now and help me investigate some things. Remember, don’t make too much noise, and especially, don’t let my mother find out."

-

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyi returned to the bedroom.

Dong Xin Yan, groggy, rubbed her eyes and sat up, her voice hoarse and muddled, "Whose phone call was that?"

Gu Ningyi sat back on the bed, casually tossing his phone back on the bedside table, and lazily replied, "Secretary Lin’s."

Secretary Lin?

Dong Xin Yan’s mind was sluggish for a few seconds before her eyes widened, "I haven’t told Secretary Lin that you’re still alive!"

"She knows now."

"That’s true, you’ve directly answered her call. She must be very happy, right? She cried so much when she found out you were dead before."

"What about you?"

Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes fixed steadily on Dong Xin Yan’s face, his voice slightly lowered, "Did you cry a lot too?"

Dong Xin Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I wasn’t sad because I don’t believe you would die. People always say that troublemakers live long lives, right? A big troublemaker like you couldn’t possibly die so easily."
