“Belittling MYself?”

Xu Weilai repeated what he had said. Seemingly amused by what she just heard, she pushed Zuo an’s hand away and turned to face him before she emphasized, “Yesterday, you deliberately tasked me with searching for information so that I would knock off late and bump into Gu Yu in the elevator, didn’t you?”

Zuo An stared fixedly at her.

“If I’m not wrong, the elevator malfunction was definitely not an accident and was also part of your plan, isn’t it?”

After a moment of silence, Zuo An replied, “Weilai, you were once a reporter. I’m sure you know that evidence is required to back up any claims that you make.”

However, Xu Weilai merely sneered and replied, “Why are you so afraid? Are you worried that I’ll record down what you said or trick you into telling the truth?”

“Gu Yu wouldn’t have gotten away with just a minor injury if it really had been an accident. You never intended to hurt us and merely wanted us to be honest with our feelings after weathering through this incident together.”

There was a hint of self-mockery in Xu Weilai’s voice as she resumed, “It’s a pity that I could only disappoint you. I have always been a dispensable person to Gu Yu, be it now or three years ago.”

“He saved you.”

“Yes, he did save me,” Xu Weilai nodded in agreement. “But do you know that I’ve also saved him before? At that point in time, I nearly fell into an eternal coma. While Gu Yu doesn’t love me, at the very least, he would feel guilt and pity towards me. He wouldn’t be much of a man if he did not save me.”

“But that’s all there is.”

Xu Weilai raised her hand and wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes before she continued, “At the end of the day, I was too naive. Men are all the same. Your rationality always wins over your sensibility and you would prefer power over love.”

Zuo An remained silent but his lips had curled up into a barely noticeable smile as he withheld his opinion.

Noticing this, Xu Weilai asked, “What? Am I wrong to say that?”

Zuo An still did not reply.

Xu Weilai seized him up before she, too, broke out into a faint smile and requested, “Big Boss, we have been friends and comrades for so many years. There’s something serious that I’ve been wanting to ask you and I hope...that you could answer me truthfully on account of our relationship.”

Zuo An pondered about it for a few seconds before he eventually agreed, “Fire away.”

Instead of speaking, Xu Weilai suddenly took a step closer to him. Her toes were touching the tip of Zuo An’s leather dress shoes and the distance between them was instantly reduced.

Zuo An could see her delicate features and small, chiselled face clearly when he looked down. Her face was tear stricken while her eyes and the tip of her nose had also turned red, and she appeared rather pitiful.

He raised his eyebrows slightly but did not draw away from her and simply remained rooted to the ground in anticipation of her next move.

Xu Weilai looked up and blinked her dark, clear eyes several times before she lowered her voice and remarked slowly and clearly, “Is it true that you intend to swallow the Gu Corporation?”

Although both of them were cutting the chase, Zuo An was still slightly taken aback by how direct Xu Weilai was.

He looked down and fixed his gaze on her. After a long time, his lips curled up into a smile and, instead of answering, he asked, “Does it matter if it’s true or not?”

“Such an ambiguous answer...” Xu Weilai thought.

Xu Weilai was not the least surprised, for Zuo An was essentially just making use of her and thus, it was only natural of him to not be completely honest with her.

However, Xu Weilai wasn’t bothered by this, for she only needed to concern herself with what she wanted to do.

Beaming, Xu Weilai replied, “If it’s not true, then take it that I’ve never asked this question. But if it’s true, then I want a part in this as well.”
