Chapter 158: 158: She Has Bigger Schemes_1
She was devoid of her usual grace.
She was grabbing tightly onto my sleeve, yelling hysterically like a shrew,
“Did you deliberately seduce Gu Yuanzhou?”
I pulled her hand off, smiling gently,
“Miss Ye, Gu Yuanzhou is single. Let’s not use the word ‘seduce’, it sounds so unpleasant. Could you please pull yourself together? People are watching.”
Upon my reminder, Ye Mengyan snapped back to reality and let go of my sleeve.
Several coworkers had already formed small clusters, observing the spectacle from the distance.
Ye Mengyan bit her lower lip and turned to leave.
At noon, I still invited Xu Yun and Old Ma to have lunch outside, my treat.
“Sorry, Old Ma. President Gu got horribly drunk last night, and I forgot to let you know. I kept you waiting, so this meal is on me.”
“No worries, it’s nothing!”
Old Ma didn’t take it personally. After being around Gu Yuanzhou for so many years, Old Ma got used to his habits.
If he was not informed by eleven o’clock, he would naturally go home to sleep instead of waiting all night…
However, the situation was far from ideal for Ye Mengyan.
After returning to the company from lunch,
I saw Old Ma being beckoned to the break room by Ye Mengyan, to which I quietly followed.
“Old Ma, what do you mean by this? Last night, that little vixen Song stayed overnight with President Gu. Why didn’t you report it to me?”
“Miss Ye, I didn’t know anything about it!”
“How could you not? Isn’t it you who drove President Gu to the hotel?”
“It was me who drove him, but I didn’t know where they went afterward.”
Old Ma started to explain, but Ye Mengyan was livid, her voice becoming increasingly shrill, and began to loudly berate and accuse him.
“Old Ma, you’re doing this on purpose. You’ve clearly accepted benefits from that vixen. How much money did she give you to betray me?”
“Miss Ye, I am not that kind of person!”
“You are exactly that kind of person. If you can take money from me, you can take money from Song Xiaoyun. I had you wrong, you’re a disgrace, you deserve to be a driver for the rest of your life. You know what, cross me again and I’ll have President Gu fire you!”
My lips curled slightly, the day had finally come when Ye Mengyan would call me a vixen. Funny.
At this Outburst, Old Ma was startled,
“Miss Ye, you can’t fire me! You have to be reasonable, my whole family depends on this job! Folk has it that taking people’s livelihood is akin to grave robbery. If you do that, I’ll expose all the bad things you’ve done!”
“You dare threaten me? How dare you, a subordinate, threaten me?”
“Miss Ye, don’t forget. Earlier this year, the batch of poisonous health products was delivered by me following your orders. If I tell the police, you’ll be the real criminal.”
At these words, my heart clenched up suddenly.
Even though I had suspicions previously, the shock was still considerable when I heard Old Ma confirming them.
It actually was Ye Mengyan.
She tried to poison the Song family all along?
My uncle and aunt-in-law never offended her, so why did she do it?
At this point, Ye Mengyan also spoke up,
“Old Ma, think clearly. Even though I made you do it, you’re still involved. If this matter goes to the police, we are accomplices! Moreover, the wife of the Song family is hospitalized due to the poisoning. Should somebody die, you’d be the murderer.”
But my phone was charging and I hadn’t brought it with me. Otherwise, I would have recorded all of the conversation and gone directly to the police.
So as not to alert them, I decided to keep quiet and leave.
For the whole afternoon, I was trapped inside this whole incident.
I couldn’t understand why Ye Mengyan wanted to harm my aunt and uncle.
If she likes Gu Yuanzhou, she should’ve targeted me instead.
Why target my Uncle and Aunt?
The next couple of days, Old Ma took leave…
Ye Mengyan also seemed to keep a low profile during this time and did not pick a fight with me.
Xu Yun told me, “Yae Mengyan has been rushing to finish shooting these few days, saying she wants to complete it before the new product launch next month.”
I fell silent, clenching my fists.
It seems like I need to speed up. I cannot let Ye Mengyuan represent the brand that I founded.
The next afternoon, I called up Old Ma and arranged to meet him.
“How come you have not been coming to the office these two days?”
“I don’t know. The HR department arranged annual leave for me. But I was thinking, is the company already placing other drivers to take over my position?”
Old Ma appeared very anxious.
“Old Ma, you need to speak honestly. If you refuse to speak, you will always be controlled by Ye Mengyan. Only by bringing her into justice, and sending her to jail, will your threats disappear, and you will be able to work normally in the future.”
“Miss Song, you are too naive. You cannot move her. Miss Ye belongs to President Gu, they have been together for many years.”
Old Ma seemed like he was about to speak but then stopped, he seemed to know more than I had imagined.
“Was it about poisoning the Song family couple?”
I calmly asked.
Old Ma looked at me in surprise,
“Miss Song, how did you know?”
I calmly showed him a video I had copied from the pharmacy on my phone,
“The Song family has been secretly investigating this. As you can see, the day Gu Yuanzhou bought the health products from the pharmacy and passed them to you, you delivered them to the Song family only in the evening. If the Song family reports this to the police, you will be the prime suspect. Old Ma, judging by your years of service as President Gu’s driver, I can promise you that if you can give me the name of the person behind this, I can negotiate with the old Song couple, let them not implicate you. However, if you still refuse to tell the truth, then I can’t help you. Even if Ye Mengyan doesn’t hold you accountable, the Song family won’t let you off.”
After watching these videos, Old Ma turned pale on the spot.
With a forlorn face, he lamented, “You really can’t blame me for this. At that time, Miss Ye gave me a sum of money and said it was just for a simple swap… I thought she just wanted to pocket something for herself, never knowing there was poison inside.”
“Then how did you come to know that she had poisoned the medicine?”
“She forced me, she told me herself. She said that there was poison mixed into the batch of health products at the beginning of the year as a threat for me to do other bad deeds…”
“What other bad deeds did she make you do?”
“I can’t tell you this!”
Old Ma was still somewhat apprehensive, he was really scared.
I just stood up, “Alright, if you don’t want to say it. Then I will just go to the police, let them investigate it.”
Only then did Old Ma stand up, stammering to say, “Drug President Gu!”
