Chapter 77: 77 Will She be Successful in Proposing?_1
For any woman, marrying the man she loves is perhaps the best pursuit in life.
She was submerged in her illusions and aspirations of happiness.
“Xiaoyun, don’t be nervous. You stay in the room and don’t come out. I want some alone time with him.”
“Alright, as you wish.”
“Thank you!”
I, anyway, do not have the intention to disturb them.
What’s more, tonight might be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, I couldn’t just stay in the room, so I gathered some food and beer, and slipped onto the rooftop under the cover of the dark night.
At that time, I saw Wu Jun, who was lost in thought on the rooftop.
She was alone, sitting in a corner.
Looking up at the starry sky, her face notably upset.
“Ahem, can we chat?”
Seeing it was me, Wu Jun seemed to dodge my gaze a bit. She remained silent and started to walk downstairs, but I called out her stop her.
“Don’t go down, Ye Mengyan says she wants some alone time with Gu Yuanzhou. Don’t disturb them.”
With no choice left, she sat down on the sofa.
I had brought up some snacks, little sausages, spicy strips, a bag of peanuts, and potato chips, sunflower seeds and such.
And there were also a few cans of beer, these things are perfect for chatting and stargazing at the same time.
When I poured the sunflower seeds in front of Wu Jun, she was alert, glanced at me a few times, and didn’t move.
So, I moved the conversation to Ye Mengyan.
“Mengyan’s former boyfriend, Shen Yishu, is quite a good person.”
Wu Jun sighed,
“Yes, actually Shen’s parents are very nice, and I’ve seen that kid grow up since he was little, he is a genuine person. He used to help out in our house a lot, helping my cousin cook and do some heavy housework. He is quite honest, but it’s a shame that they were not meant to be.”
“So, do you think she is happier being with Gu Yuanzhou, or with Shen Yishu?”
“Of course she would be happier with Shen Yishu!”
“But Gu Yuanzhou is wealthier, he can provide Ye Mengyan with a better life!”
“But rich men are heartless! Not everyone can enjoy that sort of happiness.”
“Do you think Gu Yuanzhou is a heartless person?”
As I asked, Wu Jun immediately shut up again.
However, she started eating the sunflower seeds.
After eating half a bag of sunflower seeds, it seemed like she was getting thirsty. I quickly opened the beer and handed it to her.
She drank an entire can straight away.
The beer I bought wasn’t real beer, it was a type of glutinous rice wine.
Smooth and sweet on entry, but twice the alcohol content of beer, making it very easy to get drunk.
Indeed, after drinking two cans of beer, Wu Jun seemed a bit affected. She sighed,
“Alas, Ye Mengyan is such a disobedient child! What good can come out of her being with Mr. Gu? Men with money can have whatever woman they want. Mr. Gu is only attracted to her youth, just wait a few years, when she ages, Mr. Gu naturally won’t care about her anymore.”
I rebutted,
“Not necessarily! Maybe she is different. Gu Yuanzhou might truly love her.”
Wu Jun sighed,
“You young people really have your heads in the clouds. At my age, I know how unreliable a man’s love can be. Just look back at the time when Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were so in love, didn’t he end up not taking Mrs. Gu seriously?”
Wu Jun’s cheeks were already flushed, and her speech was slightly slurred. In my view, she seemed a little tipsy.
People, in this state, are most likely to spill the truth.
“You mean, Mr. Gu set the fire?”
I carefully probed, hoping to confirm whether what Wu Jun saw that day was true or false.
Because if the cameras have blind spots and someone could leave from the rooftop,
This also means that the murderer could be anyone, including Gu Yuanzhou.
“It’s not Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu wouldn’t do such a thing. It was them…”
“Who is ‘them’?”
“Just a few days before the incident, Mr. Gu saw them. That day Mrs. Gu wasn’t at home, she took the two kids to her parents’ house.”
“Wasn’t Gu Yuanzhou on a business trip that day?”
I exclaimed in shock.
Indeed, those were the vacation days, I took the two kids to my uncle’s house because Gu Yuanzhou was on a business trip.
My aunt and I took the two kids to various places such as the zoo, forest parks and so on.
At that time, Gu Yuanzhou was still sending me text messages every other day.
“They’re all vampires! Mr. Gu was already supporting them, but they were still not satisfied and always wanted more.”
“Who are they?”
“They would come every Chinese New Year, but Mrs. Gu didn’t know! Every time they came, it was when Mrs. Gu was not home. They would always eat a lot and take a lot of items away with them. Last time, the ginseng Mrs. Gu bought from abroad, several boxes of it were taken by them.”
I was quite shocked. Every Chinese New Year, I am usually at my uncle’s house from the first day until the eighth day…
And Gu Yuanzhou would always stay at home by himself until the second day to keep the vigil for New Year’s Eve.
So, would someone come to my house on the first day of Chinese New Year?
Upon careful reflection, I indeed lost a few boxes of ginseng. At the time, I thought Wu Jun had taken them back, so I didn’t ask.
Anyway, I didn’t care about these things, but it turned out that someone else had taken them.
“Why would they set the fire?”
“Just intuition… it’s them… they always spoke ill of Mrs. Gu before, saying Mrs. Gu was in the way! Each time they came, they always had to avoid Mrs. Gu.”
“Who are ‘they’?”
Just when I was about to ask Wu Jun again, suddenly, there was the sound of a car outside.
I got up and walked over to the edge of the rooftop, and saw a black luxury car slowly drive into the garage. After the headlights were turned off, Gu Yuanzhou walked out of the car.
When I went back to the sofa, Wu Jun was surprisingly already asleep.
I called her name twice, but there was no response.
I sent a text message to Ding Yinuo,
“Are you on good terms with Green City Properties?”
“What’s going on? Has anything happened?”
“I want to look into more surveillance footage…”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible, after the police took over these cases, they also took all the surveillance footage from the last year from Green City Properties.”
“Isn’t there a backup?”
“Are you asking me for help?”
“Yes, I am asking for your help, can you help me?”
“No!”
He flatly refused!
Ah, this man, how come he’s so unpredictable?
I thought carefully, it seems like I haven’t offended him in any way?
Just when I was about to reply to him again, there were footsteps. Raising my head, I saw Gu Yuanzhou had walked out of the doorway.
Following him, was Ye Mengyan dressed in a wedding gown.
“President Gu!”
I put down my phone and stood up.
I glanced at Ye Mengyan, unsure if she had successfully proposed.
