“Xiaosong, what did Gu Yuanzhou say?”

By now, Gu Yuanzhou was a distance away from me, chatting and laughing heartily as he walked towards the VIP room with several wealthy businessmen.

From a distance, I could hear some workers chuckling and discussing something together.

“Hey, I heard a rumor that someone invested billions into our company. We’re going to expand and start operating internationally!”

“President Gu is really something. He’s a game changer. We all thought Zhenyi Company was done for when it was hit with a crisis. Who would’ve thought he could get the company back on its feet so quickly!”

“Of course President Gu is impressive. He started from scratch and built the company into a giant. It just goes to show how capable he is.”

The employees were full of admiration for him.

I was filled with mixed emotions as I observed this.

Gu Yuanzhou, that scoundrel, had regained his footing on the ruins of the Song Family.

He lived in luxury while leaving the Song Family to bear all the pain.

“Xiaosong, what did Gu Yuanzhou say? Can your Uncle Song be saved? He is old and has a chronic illness. If the kidnappers keep him locked up, he’s going to be in serious danger,” Wu Lijuan worried.

I was at a loss and didn’t know how to respond.

I had no idea where Song Shixiong was!

I wasn’t even sure whether Gu Yuanzhou had put Song Shixiong under house arrest, or had him kidnapped.

I had no evidence, and I couldn’t make assumptions based on my speculations.

But one thing is for sure – Gu Yuanzhou is planning to devour Huaxin Group.

I checked my phone and saw that Huaxin Group’s stocks had plunged once again…

I showed Wu Lijuan my phone, “Auntie, can you think of a way to save Huaxin?”

However, either Wu Lijuan was ignoring the stock market crash, or she was simply too old to care about money anymore. All she cared about was her husband.

“Xiaosong, what did Gu Yuanzhou say?”

At this point, we had entered the elevator. After a moment of thought, I said, “You should try to get your two sons to come back! This is the Song Family’s hour of crisis.”

“Oh, I’ve called them, but neither of them wants to return. I can’t blame them though. Their father was always busy with business when they were young, and didn’t fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Both boys are disheartened and refuse to return.”

Wu Lijuan’s tears began to fall with her words.

After a few sentences, our conversation turned back to Gu Yuanzhou.

“What did he say? Is he willing to save Song Shixiong?”

“He said he would give us half a day to consider… but I think you should really call your son and tell him the Song Family will be ruined if he doesn’t come back.”

I told Wu Lijuan about the gravity of the situation, as it wasn’t merely a simple kidnapping case.

In the near future, Huaxin Group might collapse.

“Alright, I’ll call them again. I guess it was my fault for not telling them their father was kidnapped. I only told them something had happened. Sigh.”

After I dropped off Wu Lijuan at her home, I didn’t go back to Tianjiao Company.

Instead, I went to Xishan Residence by myself.

I sat alone in the darkness to ponder over how to break this deadlock.

Gu Yuanzhou’s scumminess is beyond dispute.

But dealing with his next move and defusing it easily – that’s what’s giving me a headache.

When darkness fell, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see Wenya standing outside.

“I knew I’d find you here!”

She carried bags of milk tea and fried rice as she entered.

I took the milk tea and sucked on the straw, then fetched Wenya a pair of slippers.

“What do you mean by ‘as expected’?”

“What could it possibly mean? It’s because Manager Ding asked me to come over! He said he couldn’t get away, so asked me to keep you company.”

I believed Wenya.

Ding Yinuo is a highly emotionally intelligent man. He knew to keep his distance from this matter and not to interfere, so as not cause me any difficulty.

Wenya brought the fried rice in front of me, “It’s the pineapple fried rice from Old Street! It’s really good and I know it’s your favorite.”

“Thanks!”

I had completely forgotten about eating, given the circumstances.

Now that Wenya brought me food, I realized how hungry I was.

After I had eaten half of the rice, Wenya asked me,

“How did it go with Gu Yuanzhou?”

I sighed before detailing everything that had transpired…

After hearing my recount, Wenya let loose a flurry of expletives against Gu Yuanzhou,

“I knew it! That bastard didn’t have good intentions when he married you. What is this, kicking away the ladder after he’s climbed to the top? Oh no, that’s being too nice to him. He’s simply a white-eyed wolf…”

After scolding him, Wenya offered me some advice,

“What if you pretended to admit that you’re Song Yun, then after he releases Song Shixiong, you tell him you deceived him. Would that work?”

“Would that work?”

“When dealing with such a scoundrel, why care about morality? From the beginning, he only had malicious intentions and was deceiving you. So what if you deceive him now?”

“Um, let me think that over, Wenya.”

My hands engulfed my cup of milk tea as I fell into silence.

Wenya’s plan made some sense.

But would Gu Yuanzhou truly respect me? Dealing with someone like him is risky…

If I’m not careful, I could fall into a terrible trap.

I turned back to Wenya and said,

“If from the beginning, Gu Yuanzhou never loved me and was just using me, then knowing that I’m Song Yun now, would he respect me? Won’t he just do as he pleases anyway?”

Wenya’s face changed slightly,

“True! I still stand by what I said. Maybe you shouldn’t get involved in Song Shixiong’s business. You’re a woman and barely have your own house in order. What can you possibly do? Additionally, even though your uncle knew what type of person Gu Yuanzhou is, he still pushed you to marry him. It’s hard not to think about what his motives were!”

Although Wenya’s speculation made sense, I couldn’t think that way. I did, after all, have no hesitation in falling in love with Gu Yuanzhou back then.

In reality, Aunt Wu Lijuan was against the idea at first. She warned me not to marry him, not to marry beneath me, claiming that a man who didn’t pay his dues in a marriage doesn’t appreciate…

Unfortunately, I was blinded by love then and couldn’t reason with, I was determined to marry him.

In fact, the more people tried to stop me, the more I wanted to prove to them that I was marrying for love, and that I chose the right man!

I looked out at the darkness beyond the window, my voice steady and resolute,

“Wenya, it was my choice to marry him. Everything that happened, happened because of me. Therefore, I must step in.”

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to admit that you are Ayun?”
