Chapter 53: 53 Revealing One’s IQ Easily with One’s Mouth 1
Just as I was about to answer it, the call abruptly ended.
“Was that him calling?”
Wenya asked.
“He ought to still be at the police station. If he was able to call, then that means they haven’t detained him.”
Su Peisheng briefed us on some details about detention procedures.
After listening, Wenya became even more riled up than I was,
“So the rich can act with total impunity, is that it? M/ell, I’ll pay whatever it takes to have him killed; where can one hire a hitman?”
Just as Wenya finished speaking, she was met with a snort of derision from Su Peisheng.
“Ignorance! A complete lack of understanding of the law! How sad!”
Wenya wasn’t going to take this lying down, “You legal toady! Who are you insulting?”
“Did I name anyone?”
“You continued after what I said, which means you’re insulting me!!!”
Su Peisheng snorted coldly,
“Please, if you’re dumb, read more books! Otherwise, sit there and keep your mouth shut, lest you expose your lack of intelligence.”
Su Peisheng certainly had a mouth on him. He hadn’t used a single curse word but had thoroughly belittled her.
Wenya’s anger flared again and she shot to her feet, jabbing a finger at Su Peishengs nose in anger.
“So you’re the smart one, huh? You call that being clever? Men like you, all smug and self-righteous, I wouldn’t give you the time of day, even if I had no brains in my head.”
“Ha, did I ask for your approval? And for the record, I wouldn’t give a second look to a spinster like you.”
At these words from Su Peisheng, Ding Yinuo quickly stepped in and pulled him away.
“Enough, mind your words. Are you a man or not? If you’re a man, stop arguing with a woman!”
Ding Yinuo’s intervention, although it left Su Peisheng somewhat disgruntled, at least had the effect of silencing him.
Ding Yinuo then pulled him outside,
“Go and find out what’s happening with Gu Yuanzhou! If there’s any news, report back to me immediately.”
“All right, I’m going.”
And with that, Su Peisheng put on his coat and left.
Ding Yinuo turned back to me,
“Honestly, Su Peisheng didn’t use to be like this. It’s really strange. The moment he lays eyes on Wenya, they start arguing incessantly!”
I looked at Su Peishengs departing figure, pondering. Indeed, when I had seen him at the law firm before, he had been both diplomatic and efficient.
He never seemed like the type to get into incessant disputes with women.
What was going on?
I glanced at Wenya and she seemed furious, complaining nonstop to Jian Jing.
“Did you see that? What an uncultured brute. He called me a spinster. If it weren’t for Ayun’s sake, I’d have slapped him twice,” Suddenly I understood and sat down next to Wenya,
“Are you possibly in love with the lavvyer, Su?”
“Me? In love with him? Yuck, I feel like throwing up just looking at him. If I fell for him, I’d know there were ghosts!”
I chuckled and didn’t pursue the matter further.
However, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Gu Yuanzhou. If it weren’t for their company, I’d be anxious out of my mind.
After we had finished our hot pot, Ding Yinuo made us some tea.
While we were waiting for news from Su Peisheng, we were all bored, and the conversation shifted back to Gu Yuanzhou.
“Ayun, you’ve spent a long time with Gu Yuanzhou, did he ever find out about your reincarnation?”
Wenya asked while peeling an orange.
I shook my head.
Wenya continued,
“Well, I suppose not. That scumbag is so engrossed with Ye Mengyan, how would he ever pay attention to any other woman?”
1 suddenly recalled the discussion I had with Gu Yuanzhou.
“Let me tell you a ghost story. Gu Yuanzhou once told me that his relationship with Ye Mengyan is very pure, it isn’t a ‘sugar daddy-sugar baby’ relationship.”
After hearing this, Wenya scoffed…
“Keeping her around without expecting anything in return? Please, only a child would believe such a fairy tale. I certainly don’t.”
After she finished, she looked at Jian Jing.
“What do you think?”
Jian Jing was typically more reserved, without much insight into human nature.
She glanced at me.
“Ayun, this is something you’ll have to feel out. Neither Wenya nor 1 have spent our days living with Gu Yuanzhou. Only you know him best, don’t you?”
“l shook my head, “l don’t believe it!”
I really didn’t. Perhaps such pure feelings did exist in this world, but certainly not with Gu Yuanzhou.
He was a man with strong sexual needs.
How could he possibly maintain a ‘pure’ relationship with Ye Mengyan?
Just as we were discussing Ye Mengyan, my phone rang again.
It was Ye Mengyan’s phone number.
I didn’t answer the call.
She kept calling, three times in total, and then sent me a text message. “Xiaoyun, my mom said that my aunt was arrested by the police! Can we talk?” 1 reflected carefully.
The reason I had called Ding Yinuo over was because Ye’s mother was present.
I didn’t want to expose myself.
If I were exposed, 1 might lose my footing one I’m at Zhenyi Company.
Given Ye Mengyan’s current status, Gu Yuanzhou will certainly not side with me.
As far as Gu Yuanzhou is concerned, I am just a mere employee.
Ding Yinuo stepping in helped me avoid such a risk.
When 1 was in the funeral procession, I made sure to wear a cap and a face mask, and I did not deliberately expose myself to Ye’s mother’s sight.
I believe that for now, Ye Mengyan also doesn’t know who 1 am.
So, what does she mean by wanting to meet me now?
What does she want to discuss with me?
“What are you so afraid of?”
Ding Yinuo sat down opposite me.
“I’m not afraid of anything!’
I didn’t reply to Ye Mengyan’s message, instead helping Ding Yinuo clean up the dining utensils.
He grabbed my hand,
“Leave this, your hand is injured. Go sit down and take a rest.”
“Do you think Wu Jun will expose me?”
“If you feel uncomfortable, put the blame on me! Besides, if you really don’t dare to take the risk, you can come work at my company! After all, a job is a job, isn’t it?”
Ding Yinuo’s words were rather nonchalant.
1 couldn’t help but force a smile. My association with Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t as simple as just having a job.
It was past eleven at night by the time Wenya and Jian Jing left.
Only Ding Yinuo and I were left in this deserted mansion.
I was nervously checking the news on my phone, waiting for news from Gu
Yuanzhou and monitoring the situation.
Suddenly, Ding Yinuo reached out and snatched my phone from me.
“Let’s go, I want to take you somewhere.”
“Where are we going so late at night?”
Ding Yinuo didn’t answer me, he just handed me a jacket, “Put this on, it’s cold outside! ”
I put on the jacket and held out my hand, “Give me back my phone!”
“I’ll hold onto it for an hour, and then I’ll give it back to you!’
He switched my phone off and stuffed it into his pocket before walking out.
I was left with no choice but to follow him out..
