BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234: 234 His Hidden Secrets_1
Moreover, I don’t even know why I was reborn into Song Xiaoyun’s body.
So, with the commotion caused by Xun Yixuan today, I became somewhat curious about Song Xiaoyun’s past.
If it’s true, as Ding Yinuo said, that Song Xiaoyun was afflicted with a terminal illness, does it indirectly prove that I don’t have long to live myself?
In the mirror.
Ding Yinuo sits behind me, combing my long hair gently with a brush.
After a moment of silence, he finally speaks,
“There’s no terminal illness! You misheard! It was actually Xun Yixuan’s philandering that led to their break-up.”
“Did I really mishear?”
“Ayun, don’t you trust me?”
Ding Yinuo places his hands on my shoulders, gently turning me to face him.
I look into his warm eyes, and immediately all the unpleasant emotions melt away.
“Mmm, I trust you, Ding Yinuo. If I don’t trust you, who can I trust?”
“That’s good! The only thing you need to remember is that you are Ayun, not Song Xiaoyun. As for the matters of Song Xiaoyun, there’s no need you to delve into.”
“Oh, alright!”
“You must be tired. Rest early!”
Ding Yinuo notices my fatigue and we skip the candle-lit dinner.
He only lets me rest after I remove my makeup.
I’m really tired and fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed…
The next morning, when I wake up, Ding Yinuo is already gone.
I watch the sunlight pouring in through the window and the bedroom is bathed in warmth.
On the table is a note left by Ding Yinuo,
It reads:
“There is an urgent matter at the company that I need to handle, so I’m leaving first. Take today off and relax.”
A bank card was left with the note, with the PIN written on the back.
This Ding Yinuo, he really has no guard against me, just giving me access to his money so casually?
I stretch my hands outside the blanket, thinking about the events of yesterday, and for some reason, I can’t let go of these tangled emotions.
After getting up, I take a cab to Song Xiaoyun’s old residence…
It’s the place she first rented.
After I moved out, Song Xiaoyun’s things were still there. I originally planned to move them when the lease was up.
Surprisingly, just as I reached the entrance of the neighbourhood, I ran into Gu Yuanzhou.
He was walking out from the inside.
The world is really small, I bump into him wherever I go.
Although yesterday’s incident is fresh in my mind, I naturally can’t let him off the hook.
“President Gu! Showing up in front of me with such a grand display yesterday, I thought you had some kind of trick up your sleeve. But in the end, you ran away with your tail tucked between your legs?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s icy black eyes examine me up and down for a while.
“Your mouth– the words you say are becoming more and more unpleasant!”
“Well, I usually speak according to my audience. In dealing with people like you, I can only choose unpleasant words.”
“What’s wrong with people like me? Are you blaming me for what happened yesterday? It’s your own fault for not resolving things with your ex, and now you’re pinning the blame on me? However, I can see that you don’t really have your heart set on marriage with the second young master of Ding Family.”
A sly glint suddenly flashes in Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes.
I look at him and ask, “Do you think I’m that opportunistic?”
“Using the engagement ceremony to launch your new product, it’s clear the wheels in your head have been turning. You may be able to fool the public, but you can’t fool me.”
“Really? Mr.Gu, you do love to think too highly of yourself.”
“You were with me for so long, I know exactly what kind of person you are and exactly what you want to do.”
“Really? If President Gu is so talented, have you been able to think of a way to save Zhenyi Company?”
“There is nothing for you to be proud of. Everything you can think of, I have already considered…A little achievement by Tianjiao Company is nothing impressive!”
After giving it some thought, I say, “However, I have a suggestion. I wonder if President Gu would like to hear it?”
“What is your suggestion?”
“If President Gu considers my engagement as marketing, then President Gu could also get engaged to a woman with influence, which would also improve your reputation!”
Hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou snorts coldly.
“This marketing strategy, I’ve thought of it already. I don’t need your suggestion!”
Gu Yuanzhou doesn’t seem to want to stay longer. He drops this line and swiftly leaves.
After Gu Yuanzhou leaves, it suddenly hits me; did he come here to search for any hidden secrets I might have had?
By the time I rush to the rental, it’s too late.
The door is wide open, cleaning staff are inside, busy cleaning the place and throwing out the remaining items.
The landlord is nearby giving instructions.
“Hey, what are you doing? Why are you throwing out my things?”
The landlord looks at me, stunned.
“Your boyfriend just came and said you’re not renewing the lease, so he asked me to empty the house!”
“What?”
I then understood: by “my boyfriend,” the landlord meant Gu Yuanzhou.
What is he doing, destroying traces of Song Xiaoyun’s life?
Without further thought, I rush into the room wanting to find some clues. Unfortunately, it’s too late.
Nothing valuable has been left in the room.
Out of irritation, I start arguing with the landlord,
“That man is not my boyfriend at all! How could you just trust him like that? Where did you throw my stuff?”
“There was a garbage truck that came by just now. We packed up everything and threw it all in! And… if he’s not your boyfriend, how did he have a picture of both of you together? Young lady, don’t make false statements. Even though you two had arguments after breaking up, I understand. But if you two joined forces to fool me, that’s not right.”
The landlord looks helpless.
I think about it, it’s not the landlord’s fault; the one to blame is Gu Yuanzhou, he’s crossed the line.
What the heck is he trying to do?
Forget it.
After all, I just wanted to know what terminal illness Song Xiaoyun had!
In my free time, I could just go to the hospital for a check-up.
This wasn’t anything important. I didn’t pay much attention to it anyway. As of now, there’s nothing wrong with my body, so I believe what Ding Yinuo has said is true.
I have to admit, the engagement ceremony was a marketing success.
Photos of me have been posted on the homepages of major media websites. The Hanfu I wore was especially stunning and full of charm.
Standing together with Ding Yinuo, we appeared like a prince and princess from ancient times…
I often stare dumbfounded at the picture.
Jia Yuyan would joke on the side,
“Sister Song, you and Manager Ding really look like husband and wife!”
I took a good look at Song Xiaoyun’s face again, she did indeed look like Ding Yinuo’s wife…
Could it be that my rebirth is because Song Xiaoyun and Ding Yinuo have other unresolved ties and destiny?
A receptionist hurried in, glanced at me, and then looked at Jia Yuyan.
“Miss Jiang, a guest named Ye Mengyan would like to see you!”
