Chapter 208: Chapter 208 He is Establishing a Persona_1

Translator: 549690339

Gu Yuanzhou’s words filled me with anger and shock.

How could he say such a thing?

If he truly cared so much about his wife and child, why did he keep a college girl as his mistress?

This act, putting on a show of suffering in front of Wu Lijuan, was just to gain sympathy and attention. Was he trying to earn forgiveness from Wu Lijuan, or had he run out of money and was now trying to borrow some from the Song family?

No matter the reason, I didn’t want to let him succeed.

“Mr. Gu really has some nerve to say that! Luckily, I’ve worked at Zhenyi Company long enough to know something about your manipulations, or else I might have been deceived by you too.”

Just as I finished, Gu Yuanzhou’s face indeed changed color.

Wu Lijuan asked me,

“What do you mean by ‘his manipulations’?”

I laughed and replied,

“Oh, it’s actually not such a big deal. He just has the common issue of successful men—he’s keeping a college girl as his mistress. Maybe in his mind, he thinks it’s not important?”

No sooner had I finished than Gu Yuanzhou hurriedly exclaimed,

“Auntie, don’t listen to her baseless gossip! Ayun is the only one in my heart, and besides her, I’ve never had any affairs with any other women!”

“Really, Mr. Gu? Ye Mengyan, the girl you are hiding at the Maple Mansion, she herself has admitted it! It’s common knowledge in the company. Your denial means nothing.”

“I have nothing to hide because there is nothing!”

I shrugged my shoulders, and decided not to argue with him any further.

Whether there is or not, he knows best!

I didn’t want to make things too awkward in front of Wu Lijuan.

However, seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s behavior right now, I disliked him even more.

Why is he such a person?

To what extent can he be so hypocritical?

As Wu Lijuan went into the kitchen to serve the food, Gu Yuanzhou moved closer to me.

He picked up a piece of soft ribs and put it in my bowl,

“Remember this, speak less and eat more.”

I looked at him disdainfully,

“I thought Mr. Gu has no shame! Turns out, you are just afraid of being exposed.”

Gu Yuanzhou sneered,

“You can slander me with having ten mistresses and I wouldn’t care! A clear conscience laughs at false accusations. But you need to consider Wu Lijuan’s feelings. I am her niece’s husband. Nobody would want to see their relative being replaced by someone else after death. Do you understand?”

I glanced at him dismissively,

“I don’t understand! What people want to see is the truth, not fake lies. Do you think she is a fool? Can’t she see the news and hear the rumors from others? Sooner or later, you will marry Ye Mengyan. Do you think you can hide this from her forever?”

Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with a significant glance,

“Stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly marry Ye Mengyan?!”

I shrugged,

“Gu Yuanzhou, remember what you said! I’ll be at your wedding, ready to slap your face!”

“There will be no such wedding! I’ve said it before. I won’t marry again!”

Gu Yuanzhou stated plainly.

Suddenly, Wu Lijuan brought a pot of stew out from the kitchen.

“By the way, Yuanzhou, how is Zhenyi Company doing recently?”

Gu Yuanzhou calmly replied,

“Very good, everything is developing in a positive direction.”

Wu Lijuan nodded,

“Ayun’s greatest wish was to see Zhenyi Company grow and become strong. Although she’s gone, you must not let her down.”

“I know, Auntie! Her last wish is also the goal of my life. Me being alive is also for her.”

I was truly shocked that Gu Yuanzhou could say this.

Wow… Who believes that?

Fortunately, the food was delicious. After all, I had been accustomed to the taste for more than ten years.

Otherwise, I really couldn’t stand it for another minute.

I continued to eat and drink without paying any attention to Gu Yuanzhou.

Every mouthful of soup I drank, tasted of home and warmth.

Sometimes sitting here, it feels as if I’ve returned to the past.

Wu Lijuan chatted with Gu Yuanzhou about everyday matters, and he seemed very patient. No matter what Wu Lijuan asked him, he answered carefully and seriously.

It was clear to see that he still cared a lot about Wu Lijuan.

After dinner, Wu Lijuan packed some health supplements for him to take home.

“You must take good care of yourself, especially now that Ayun is gone. There’s no one around you who cares whether you are cold or warm. You must look after yourself well.”

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m still young! I can take care of myself. As for you, take care of your health, and call me anytime if you need anything.”

When Gu Yuanzhou was about to leave, he gave me a meaningful look.

“It’s getting late, you should also leave soon, I suppose?”

“Mr. Gu, are you worried that I will expose your wrongdoings?”

“Whatever you want!”

And with that, he really left.

I didn’t leave immediately afterwards.

Instead, I went to the kitchen to clean up with Wu Lijuan.

In fact, I didn’t spend much time with Wu Lijuan. During my school years, I spent most of my time at university, only coming home for a few days during summer and winter vacations.

After getting married to Gu Yuanzhou, all my time and energy were focused on my family.

My visits home became less frequent.

Every time I returned home, I had the kids with me. The kids were naughty and always needed looking after. As a result, I seldom had time to talk to Wu Lijuan.

Only now, as things had calmed down, did I notice how much older Wu Lijuan had gotten. Her hair had turned white.

“Miss Song…”

“Auntie, if you don’t mind, you can call me Xiaoyun!”

Wu Lijuan nodded and looked at me, “You really look so similar to our Ayun!”

After the cleaning up, we settled down in the living room.

She initially wanted to brew tea for me, but I took over the teapot, “Let me do it!”

Wu Lijuan seemed a bit sympathetic to Gu Yuanzhou, “In fact, I didn’t like Gu Yuanzhou at all in the beginning! His family background was not good, I always thought that Ayun should marry someone well-matched in social and economic status! I didn’t want her to walk in her mother’s footsteps!”

Feeling a bit dumbfounded, I realized I’d never heard Wu Lijuan mention my mother before.

Uncle Song had always remained silent about the matter.

When I was young and asked about my biological parents, my uncle would tell me that they both died in a car accident.

Who would have thought that now I was getting a different story?

“What about Ayun’s mother?”

Wu Lijuan sighed, “Her life was filled with difficulties! Back then, she fell in love with a poor boy which my father-in-law strictly disapproved of. But she insisted on eloping with him.”

“And then what happened?”

“She eloped with the guy to Hong Kong. But within six months, she returned, suffering from severe depression. She wouldn’t eat or sleep! Later, we found out she was pregnant. My husband went to confront the man, and that’s when we learned that he was actually a married man, alas!”

“Did Ayun know about this?”

“She didn’t! Who would dare to tell her! Your uncle hid the truth from her, never mentioning her biological father. It’s a family’s shameful secret! Bringing it up would only make her feel inferior and upset!”

“And…what happened next?”
