Chapter 238: 238: She is Heavily Manipulated by Her Ex-boyfriend_1
Despite Song Xiaoyun treating him well, he was always nitpicking and demeaning her… And Song Xiaoyun always bore with him and sought his approval, her love was so humble it was pathetic!
I couldn’t bear to continue reading.
It was heartbreaking and brought tears to my eyes.
What nerve did this damned Xun Yixuan have to create a scene at my engagement ceremony?
The more I read, the angrier I became.
I felt suffocated and put the diary down, dazed with my hands on the desk.
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from behind.
“So, do you believe now that Song Xiaoyun is dead?”
I swiftly turned my head.
Gu Yuanzhou was standing at the entrance of the room, looking at me.
I quickly stepped towards him, angrily grabbing his sleeve,
“You actually drugged me! Gu Yuanzhou, how could you do such a despicable thing?”
“I didn’t touch you!”
He just gave me a four-word reply.
“Nutcase, I’m leaving!”
“I will publish this diary on the internet, what do you think the consequences could be?”
I turned to look at him,
“Song Xiaoyun was severely depressed, this pitiful woman, would you really expose her story to the public?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s pair of black eyes looked at me calmly,
“She attempted suicide multiple times! Yes, consider if everyone knew that Tianjiao Company’s chief designer was such a terrifying woman, you guess, how would the clients choose? And the Ding Family… will they be laughed at for being engaged to a heavy depression patient?”
With his words, my back began to feel cold.
Many people in society do not understand severely depressed patients; in fact, many people see them as mentally ill.
I believe, if this news were to get out,
It would be a heavy blow to both Tianjiao Company and Ding Family.
No wonder Ding Yinuo has kept it a secret, even claiming I didn’t have any disease.
Now, I understand.
“Gu Yuanzhou, you’re so despicable and shameless!”
Gu Yuanzhou pointed to the door,
“You’re free to leave whenever you want!”
“Where’s my phone?”
It seemed that Gu Yuanzhou didn’t want to stop me, he handed me my phone.
Then he sat down on the chair, casually watching me.
As I stepped out of the room, I realized…this place was actually the Yin Mansion he bought before.
My death and life-plaques were even revered in the living room!
I glanced at them casually, then made my way out. At the same moment, my phone rang.
I looked down to see more than a dozen missed calls from Ding Yinuo.
Thinking of how upset he must have been not to find me last night,
I quickly picked up the call.
Before I could say a word, a frantic voice emitted from the speaker,
“Ayun, where are you?”
“I, um, I’m okay!”
I looked around, the location was at the foothills, the morning sun glittered across the forest, the view was beautiful.
After stepping out of the house, the pressure lifted immediately, feeling as if I had a new lease on life.
I couldn’t wait to leave this place.
“You didn’t answer your phone last night, and I’ve been worrying. I have been waiting for you all night at Xishan Residence. Where are you now? Let me pick you up!”
Ding Yinuo indeed sounded very worried, and his thoughts were incoherent.
“I’m outside, I’m okay, my phone ran out of battery last night… You don’t have to worry, I should be returning to the company soon.”
On assurance of my safety, he finally calmed down,
“Alright, then I’ll head to the company. See you soon!”
Just as he was about to end the call, I stopped him. “Ding Yinuo!”
“Hmm…?”
“You knew Song Xiaoyun had severe depression, didn’t you?”
There was silence on the other end,
“Who told you that? Was Xun Yixuan looking for you again? Are you still at your old apartment? I’ll come find you?”
“No, Ding Yinuo, calm down and listen to me. I just want to know the truth!”
Ding Yinuo responded,
“The person with depression is her, not you! Ayun, you are Song Yun, you’re not Song Xiaoyun! Obviously, you are not the same person as her. So don’t let others label you! You are cheerful, confident, and radiant, this isn’t cancer, it’s not going to affect your body, as long as you keep a happy mood, you’ll be fine.”
“Did Song Xiaoyun attempt suicide several times?”
“Yes, there were… there are records in the hospital, she had been sent here a few times due to overdosing on sleeping pills, and had her stomach pumped. The doctor who was treating her for depression was also from our hospital, that doctor is my classmate, and we would occasionally bring her up.”
“Ding Yinuo, have you ever seen Song Xiaoyun before?”
There was a pause before Ding Yinuo replied, “Yes!”
“How long have you known her?”
“I can’t remember! Anyway…She attempted suicide a few times and I just happened to be on duty, I saved her!”
“Did she remember you then?”
“Not sure, but she always seemed to be in a daze. After I saved her, she gripped my hand and repeatedly pleaded me not save her again.”
There was an element of sadness in Ding Yinuo’s words.
He didn’t seem to want to talk about this.
“Ayun, you’re not her! You really don’t need to worry about this.”
“I’m not worried, I was just thinking if the world knew that Song Xiaoyun was a severe depression patient and had attempted suicide many times. Would that have an impact on Tianjiao Company?”
“There will definitely be some negative impacts, but, we can face it together!”
“I understand, it’s okay, Ding Yinuo, see you later!”
I hung up the phone, looking up at the sky, the sun was a bit dazzling.
“There are no taxicabs around here, either I can give you a ride to the city or you can walk three kilometers up ahead where there is a bus station!”
I turned my head to see Gu Yuanzhou standing at the door looking at me.
Without a word, I walked back.
Upon reaching the living room…
Gu Yuanzhou poured me a cup of tea.
I glanced at the candlelight and incense on the altar, it was clear that Gu Yuanzhou often came here to pay respects.
“Aren’t you afraid of your wife and child haunting you when you stay here at night?”
I said mockingly, looking at him.
Gu Yuanzhou was sitting on the couch, crossing his legs casually, his expression was relaxed,
“Clear conscience full of mind, live without fear of ghosts knocking on the door. I haven’t done any harm to them, haven’t owed anyone anything.”
“Huh! What about Ye Mengyan?”
“From the frequency of you asking this question, you must be Ayun!”
“Haha, I would be jealous of her…whatever, what do you want, so this diary won’t be published?”
I initially thought Gu Yuanzhou would demand a massive amount of money, thinking he would exploit this situation for his own gain.
Or maybe asking to give him back his key clients.
Surprisingly, he didn’t. Instead, he made an even more outrageous request.
