Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 557: She Has Already Returned to Yue Xiaoyang’s Side
Yu Zheng said, "What do you want me to say? That we’re not in a relationship and who I drink with has nothing to do with you, so the media shouldn’t involve you?"
You Lifen was incensed, "Yu Zheng! Are you just trying to clear your name with me like this? Why do you think I’ve done so much for you? The whole world is laughing at You Lifen for being an idiot!"
Yu Zheng took a sip of coffee. He didn’t want her to be so hung up on this issue. "In short, Xiaoyu and I are just ordinary friends now. You and I are not lovers either. Stop following me around. Focus on your work. We each have our own lives."
"So, you just want to break up with me, Yu Zheng? How did you become like this, not having the courage to take responsibility! You admitted you liked me in front of the media back then, and now you’re telling me we each have our own lives?"
You Lifen’s eyes turned red. How had Yu Zheng become like this? He said he liked her, so he must have really liked her! It’s impossible for him to suddenly stop liking her!
Yu Zheng didn’t look at her tearful eyes. "Lifen, you’re a good girl, but I don’t want to talk about relationships right now. Stop bothering me."
Whenever they were together, something always happened, as if they were never meant to be together.
You Lifen couldn’t think of any other reason. "Tell me, do you still like Gong Xiaoyu? Gong Xiaoyu is a complete bad woman. You two already ended things, and she still clings to you! If I had known, I would have poured hot water all over her today, let her know the consequences of being fickle!"
Yu Zheng suddenly leaned closer to her. "You Lifen, you can’t be so capricious."
Seeing him so concerned about that woman, You Lifen pounded the table. "It’s a real shame I missed her with that cup of water today! Just wait until next time..."
Yu Zheng reached across the table and grabbed her shoulders, demanding, "What did you do today? Did you go see her?"
"You’re hurting me!"
Yu Zheng tightened his grip, asking through gritted teeth, "Did you go see her?"
"Are you worried about her?" The pain in You Lifen’s heart was greater than the pain in her body. She felt no guilt towards Gong Xiaoyu at all. "Yes, I went to see her. So what? Women like her deserve a lesson!"
"You’re simply unreasonable!" Yu Zheng stood up. "I’m going to see her."
"No, you can’t go see her!" You Lifen grabbed his arm, "Yu Zheng, don’t be foolish. She’s now Yue Xiaoyang’s personal assistant, voluntarily taking care of him. Do you even know about Yue Xiaoyang’s leg..."
Surrounded by onlookers, Yu Zheng covered her mouth and hissed, "You Lifen, do you have a brain? Or should I give you a microphone so you can announce to everyone that Yue Xiaoyang can’t walk?"
Realizing that she almost let slip something she shouldn’t have, You Lifen stubbornly refused to admit her mistake. Pushing his hand away, she said, "It’s all your fault for pushing me to this. What do you want to do by going to see Gong Xiaoyu? She’s returned to Yue Xiaoyang’s side now, willingly and wholeheartedly taking care of his daily life. In her eyes, you’re nothing!"
Yu Zheng knew that he and Gong Xiaoyu were in the past, but she was someone he had liked before. Her words still stung a bit.
He didn’t want to say another word. "We have nothing more to talk about. Go back."
Not caring if she trended again, You Lifen took off her hat and threw it at him, yelling, "Yu Zheng, you’re not even a man!"
Her shout drew the attention of the other customers in the store.
"Isn’t that You Lifen? Are they having a secret affair? Quick, take a picture."
Yu Zheng picked up the hat and put it back on her. "How long are you going to be this unreasonable?"
You Lifen didn’t want his false kindness. "I know in your eyes, I can’t do anything right, always making a mess of everything, unlike Gong Xiaoyu, who’s a strong woman you don’t have to worry about, right? No matter what, you just like her!"
An Junxi and Gu Yikun walked into the café and saw the chaos inside, with You Lifen’s voice ringing especially clear.
Gu Yikun held her protectively in his arms, "It’s a mess in here, don’t go."
"No, Yikun, they’re fighting, I need to check on them."
Reluctantly, Gu Yikun stayed by her side, keeping his arm around her waist.
As they walked through the crowd, the argument between Yu Zheng and You Lifen grew more intense. An Junxi heard her senior’s name several times, "Lifen must have misunderstood her. This can’t continue."
They were still a few steps away when they heard You Lifen say, "Now Gong Xiaoyu is Yue Xiaoyang’s personal assistant, taking care of him closely. What are you?"
She exchanged a glance with Gu Yikun. They hadn’t seen Yue Xiaoyang for a couple of days. What had he gotten into now?
At that moment, someone stood up in the center of the crowd, causing the idle onlookers to step back. Gu Yikun shielded An Junxi from the crowd. "Watch your step."
An irritated bystander turned to yell, but seeing Gu Yikun’s icy expression, quickly stepped aside. My god, why was President Gu here? They couldn’t afford to offend him!
The surrounding groups dispersed, and An Junxi saw a middle-aged man with his back to them. The man’s powerful voice boomed, "So this is Assistant Yu? It’s true what they say: seeing is believing. I’m You Zhaonian, a director at Youli Entertainment. What misunderstandings do you and my daughter have that you’re arguing here?"
You Lifen didn’t expect her father to show up. She had caused one scandal after another and had snuck out today to find Yu Zheng. Her father would surely be angry!
Not caring about the argument or her father’s possible punishment, she immediately spoke up for Yu Zheng, "Dad, we have no misunderstanding, just discussing some things. I promise I won’t create any more scandals. Dad, I won’t do it again."
You Zhaonian’s stern face remained severe. He coldly told You Lifen, "I’m not talking to you right now. Don’t interrupt."
Turning to Yu Zheng, he softened slightly and smiled. "Assistant Yu truly is impressive. I just passed by and noticed you didn’t seem very pleased with my daughter."
You Lifen was surprised her father wasn’t angry.
Her father used to make sure she married President Gu, insisting she become the Young Madam of the Gu Family for the broader resources and stronger backing it would bring to Youli Entertainment.
If it weren’t for her father’s demands, she wouldn’t have shamelessly clung to President Gu, claiming she wanted to marry him.
When the media exposed President Gu’s secret wife and daughter, she knew she had no chance. Fearful of her father’s disappointment, she avoided talking to him.
Her father had yelled at her over the phone, then told her that even if she couldn’t be President Gu’s wife, she must still aim to become the Young Madam of Tengxia Industries.
Having already failed once, she didn’t dare pursue another wealthy family’s heir. She wanted to reclaim her dignity and principles, but unexpectedly fell for Yu Zheng, once again shamelessly following him.
Liking Yu Zheng required great courage. She feared her father’s disapproval and his potential retaliation against Yu Zheng. However, her father wasn’t mad when he saw Yu Zheng!
