My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Public Cancellation of Engagement_1

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Public Cancellation of Engagement_1
For a fleeting moment, I glimpse a hint of warmth in those dangerous, dark eyes…

Reminiscing how once upon a time Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with deep affection when we were in love.

But I quickly realize, the man in front of me, is not the him from the past anymore.

I instinctively pull away from his touch.

He chuckles lightly, his large hand slipping casually back into the pocket of his suit pants.

He stands with his back straight as an arrow.

“You know? A woman shouldn’t fight for a man! Do you think it’s worth making such a grand sacrifice for Ding Yinuo?”

I glare at him,

“So, you’re saying I’m here because I was instigated by the Ding family, you still don’t believe me? I’m Song Yun!”

Upon hearing my words, Gu Yuanzhou chuckles lightly, disdainfully. He takes a seat on the couch, leaning back with both hands on the armrest.

His demeanor is arrogant, his aura domineering.

“Hmm! It’s not about whether I believe you or not, it’s about whether you really are who you say you are!”

“What do you want me to do so you’d believe me?”

“Very simple! Just publicly announce that you are ending your engagement with Ding Yinuo. That’s when I will believe you!”

Running in circles.

We’ve come back around to the start again.

It seems Gu Yuanzhou has an unresolved grudge with Ding Yinuo.

He is bent on picking a fight on this point.

“How ridiculous! If you won’t acknowledge me as Song Yun, why do you care who I’m engaged to?”

I counter him.

He crosses his legs leisurely, appearing as if he already has everything under control.

“You should feel fortunate! Without this opportunity, you might not even have a chance to stand in front of me. Make a choice quickly before I wrap this up.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t rush me.

After expressing these words, he stands up and heads up the stairs.

In the living room, workers come and go, replacing the old carpet with a new one.

They’ve removed all the wall paintings and replaced them with new furniture… They seem like destroyers, tearing down my warm home little by little from my memories.

Just as I’m taken aback, my phone suddenly rings.

I glance at the screen, it’s Song Zexi calling.

I take the phone and walk away from Gu Yuanzhou’s line of sight, settling in a corner and lowering my voice to speak.

“Mr. Song, don’t come back!”

Before he gets a word in, I’ve already rushed to speak.

Song Zexi stays silent for a few seconds, then his voice drops,

“We’re currently at the temple, my mother just went to sleep in the Zen room. I’m sneaking out to call you, listen, I saw on the news, has there been an incident at our Song family’s villa?”

I know it’s now impossible for me to keep what’s happening a secret from him.

“Mr. Song, what I’m about to say may be hard for you to accept, but it is what it is… the Song villa has been seized by Gu Yuanzhou, it seems his name is on the property title. Do you know any insider information, like, if your father might have mortgaged the property to Gu Yuanzhou or something?”

As soon as my words fall, Song Zexi raises his voice in disbelief.

“Impossible. My mother told me the villa was supposed to be left to my elder brother… My father had left a will, the Huaxin Group assets would go to me, while other real estate and fixed assets were to be left to my elder brother. If Gu Yuanzhou now has the villa, he must have resorted to foul play. Wait, Miss Song, how do you know about all this?”

“Well, I’m at the Song manor right now, I just spoke to Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, he’s tricking you!”

“I know! I didn’t listen… but coming up, he might have some ill-intentioned plans for you guys. Listen to me, take your mother and quickly go abroad!”

“Miss Song, I know what you’re worried about, but I won’t submit to Gu Yuanzhou’s threats! Good always triumphs over evil. I don’t believe he can do anything to me.”

“Mr. Song…”

“I have a plan ready, once I put it into action, I will turn the tables. I have evidence against Gu Yuanzhou, I am a lawyer, I believe in the law. I understand your concerns, but as a man, running away is not an option. My responsibility is to protect my mother and the Song family.”

Song Zexi is filled with righteousness, his words are persuasive and forthright, and for a moment I find myself unable to argue.

“If I, as a Song, can’t protect the Song family’s assets and instead run around like a homeless dog, how can I face myself? Even though there are difficulties ahead, I believe in my strength. I know I can turn it around.”

Song Zexi is right. When faced with a bully’s seizure, what we should do is not compromise, but fight back.

When did I become so afraid of Gu Yuanzhou?

He’s the one doing wrong and all I can think of is running away. That’s not right!

Song Zexi’s attitude is right!

We can’t run…

Then suddenly, the conversation is interrupted by a pause from Song Zexi. He then begins to shout,

“Who are you? Who gave you the right to intrude upon this holy Buddhist place? Have you lost all respect for the law? I’m calling the police! Let go of me, go away…”

Song Zexi’s sudden shift in tone indicates that our conversation has been interrupted. An accident seems to have occurred on his end.

It seems like he’s been taken hostage, and his phone has fallen to the ground.

The last thing I hear is a man’s voice threatening him,

“Either you call your elder brother to come back, or we’ll call him saying that your mother is about to die if he doesn’t come back!”

“Let Gu Yuanzhou come and talk to me! I want to question if his conscience has been eaten by a dog!”

“Oh! You’re dreaming about President Gu! You won’t see him even if you’re about to die! You’re looking for trouble spreading negative info about President Gu!”

“Damn, the call hasn’t ended…”

Then the call cuts off.

At this moment, I realize that Song Zexi is in danger. He’s been targeted by Gu Yuanzhou’s men.

While I’m still shocked, I notice a pair of cold eyes watching me.

Slowly turning around, I see Gu Yuanzhou standing on the stairs, looking down at me. His gaze is grim, but he has a high and triumphant grin on his lips.

Phone in hand, just hung up…

He slowly descends the stairs.

I angrily question him, “Did you do this?”

“Hmm!”

“What on earth do you want?”

“Unless I get rid of him, he’ll keep causing trouble! He is a bother and I have to deal with everyone in the Song family! With them gone, there will be a lot less trouble, don’t you think?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, I want to ask you, when you harm the Song family, don’t you feel a bit guilty?”
