Chapter 141: 141: Gu Yuanzhou Really Should Die_1
I stepped forward and patted Ding Yinuo’s shoulder.
“Oh, right, I heard that Miss Jiang is back in the country!”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo’s brow furrowed.
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, being in a relationship can be a good way to pass the time, so you won’t constantly be prying into other people’s private affairs.”
Ding Yinuo’s face visibly changed on the spot.
Shock, disappointment, then anger.
However, I had already gotten into the car, started the engine, threw him an OK gesture, and said, “See you around!”
There was still time before work started.
I decided to head to the Song family’s house first.
Last time Wu Lijuan gave me a key to the Song family’s house. The house was empty now, so I opened the door and walked in.
I walked into Wu Lijuan’s bedroom, and found the same blue pill from the health product bottle, with a deep-sea fish icon drawn on the label.
All the words on the bottle were in English, it seemed to be imported.
I opened the drawer below only to find a full row of deep-sea fish oil health products, all in unopened boxes.
As I was examining them, Aunt Hua came back from grocery shopping.
When she saw me with the bottle of health product, she asked,
“Miss Song, what are you doing with madam’s health product?”
“Aunt Hua, think about it carefully. Who gave us this deep-sea fish oil?”
“Oh, let me think… I think it was Mr. Gu who gave it!”
“What?”
When I heard this news, my mind nearly exploded.
Aunt Hua thought for a while and said,
“It was during the new year. Mr. Gu gave it as a gift. It seems to be quite expensive, over a thousand per bottle. He sent us quite a few boxes and it was quite a generous gift.”
I thought hard. Each new year, we would come to the Song family’s to celebrate because it wouldn’t be convenient to bring my two kids shopping for presents.
So, every year, Gu Yuanzhou would buy the gifts and send them over. This had been the case for years without any mistakes.
Therefore, it was very likely that these health products were indeed bought by Gu Yuanzhou.
Thinking about this, a chill ran down my spine.
The batch of health products was sent at the beginning of the year, which meant Gu Yuanzhou had already plotted to harm Wu Lijuan back then.
He wanted to kill off the Song family members, so when he moves against me, he would not have to worry about anyone seeking redress for my death.
Haha, Gu Yuanzhou, how could you be so ruthless?
Aunt Hua brewed me a cup of tea and continued,
“Mr. Gu is such a good son-in-law. Not only did he buy expensive health products for madam, but he also bought some for sir…”
I nearly choked on the tea in my mouth when I heard her.
“You said, Gu Yuanzhou also bought these things for Song Shixiong?”
“Oh, these health products too. He bought a lot. He gave a portion to madam and another portion to sir. However, sir has been taking medication for his cardiovascular disease in recent years so he couldn’t take these health products. So, they were stored in the cupboard. There are still several boxes of them left in madam’s cupboard actually!”
It wasn’t until now that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Seems Gu Yuanzhou had plans to poison two people.
This further validated the expectation that he planned to kill off Song family members before making a move on me.
I sat on the sofa in the Song family’s living room for the entire morning, drinking cup after cup of tea.
My mind was a mess.
The cell phone on the table kept ringing non-stop,
It was Gu Yuanzhou calling!
I didn’t want to answer.
My mind was filled with Gu Yuanzhou’s plot to harm the Song family members.
After a long while, I picked up the phone.
As soon as I answered, Gu Yuanzhou’s voice lashed out at me.
“Did you go out drinking with some other man last night?”
“Why didn’t you come home all night.”
“What’s wrong with you? You’re not coming to work, and you’re not answering my calls?”
He was clearly furious with me.
I didn’t argue with him, and simply said,
“I’ll be at the office soon.”
Seeing that I wasn’t responding, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to calm down a bit.
“In half an hour, I want to see you at your desk!”
“Alright!”
I hung up the phone.
As I was getting up to leave, Aunt Hua tried to keep me,
“Miss, why don’t you stay for lunch? I have already prepared the dishes.”
“Thank you, but I need to return to the office now. We can have lunch next time!”
When I walked out the door, the sunlight was a bit too bright. My mind was ruled by rage, and my spirit was on high alert. I almost rear-ended the car in front of me several times.
When I arrived at the company, the first thing I did was go wash my face.
I kept trying to convince myself to remain calm, because losing my mind could provide Gu Yuanzhou with an opportunity to take advantage of.
After touching up my makeup, I opened my handbag.
I took out the medicine Ding Yinuo had given me.
My mind was in chaos.
I was making coffee and looking at the steam rising from the hot cup.
I poured the medicine from the bottle into the coffee.
I stirred it gently, watching the medicine dissolve into the water, and my heart sank.
There was only one thing I was focused on at that moment, to make Gu Yuanzhou pay.
“Miss Song, President Gu is looking for you everywhere!”
Xu Yun found me in the pantry and reminded me,
“Oh, what does he want?”
“I guess I have some idea. It seems to be about Miss Ye. You know about it, right?”
“What?”
“Isn’t Miss Ye going to be our company’s brand ambassador soon? It’s said that they’ve hired the best team for her advertisement.”
“Oh! Is that so!”
I didn’t expect things to unfold this quickly.
When I first heard about this, I was already scheming, concocting a strategy to prevent it from happening.
I was even considering trying to persuade Gu Yuanzhou.
However, before I could take action, he had already taken a step ahead.
“Ah, Miss Ye obviously doesn’t match the ambiance of our company’s products. Everyone is discussing whether she got her position by leveraging some personal connections.”
Ever since the Annie incident, I have been promoting Xu Yun, appointing her to important posts and giving her a raise. Hence, she has been extraordinarily loyal to me.
She has also been non-reserved in front of me. She would inform me of any news in the company as soon as she came across it.
I nodded. “I will take care of it.”
With the coffee in my hand, I walked into the president’s office.
At the moment, Ye Mengyan was excitedly preparing to leave, even making a triumphant gesture at me as she went, to flaunt her victory.
Once she was out of sight, I said to Gu Yuanzhou,
“President Gu, I think Miss Ye’s charisma doesn’t quite match our products. I think you should reconsider it.”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me, and said emphatically and domineeringly:
“Remember one thing, I’m the CEO of this company. I will decide who should be our brand ambassador!”
His words left me speechless. Fine, Gu Yuanzhou, you brought this upon yourself.
I placed the coffee in front of him,
“President Gu, please have some coffee.”
