It seemed as if Cen Simiao hadn’t heard as she continued to ask in a crying tone, “Brother, you’ve been ignoring me lately, I can feel it! Why did you come to hate me so suddenly…?”
Gu Yu has been led around by her until he couldn’t even retort, but he also knew that Cen Simiao couldn’t be well-intentioned and struggled, but only ended up being held even tighter. Cen Simiao continued sounding rather sincere, “You’ve said that you liked me best, that no matter what happens, you would always accompany me! But now you don’t want to care about me at all…”
“Where exactly did I do unwell, can’t you tell me?”
Gu Yu’s brows furrowed as he responded in a deep voice, “Calm down a bit, be more careful of the words you’re using. Before I…”
Halfway through his words, he saw that Cen Simiao’s expression became normal again as she glanced at Father Gu’s door, then turned her head around before walking towards a vase in the corner…
And she directly pushed it off the table with pursed lips.
There was a crash, which sounded much louder than when that glass had previously shattered.
The auntie had been about to come forward but had now paused her steps as she grasped her apron and wiped her hands. Suddenly hearing Father Gu’s bedroom door open, Cen Simiao’s eyes reflected pain as she raised her eyes in panic.
Gu Yu pinched his palm and wanted to explain, but Cen Simiao pulled him behind her and blocked him. “This had nothing to do with Brother, it was all my fault.”
Father Gu’s face became even more outrageously dark.
Gu Yu pushed her away but was caught instead and could get free. In between the scuffle, something seemingly fell from him. Cen Simiao subconsciously bent down to pick it up, then her pupils constricted and her face paled. She quickly hid the paper behind herself.
Father Gu’s anger was almost to the point where it could burn people, but seeing the look on Cen Simiao’s face, he felt that something was definitely wrong and went to snatch it over. He grabbed it and saw the contents on the paper, his expression became extremely cold. “Truly, how great.”
On that sheet was a customer profile.
And on the back, all the business price quotes that were only known internally by the other company was listed. The most crucial thing was that there was also a line written on the back, which was in Gu Yu’s handwriting.
About to leave.
If this was in the past, Gu Yu could have easily explained it away by saying that he had managed to get the other side’s trade secrets while that line of writing was just randomly written.
But it wouldn’t work now…
The Gu family’s company has been losing money time and time again, so Father Gu had long suspected that someone inside the company was playing tricks, but he hasn’t managed to catch anyone this whole time. To him, aside from himself, everyone was suspicious.
Cen Simiao narrowed her eyes.
******
The price of a house near the commercial center was ridiculously expensive. But the sales lady, with an exquisitely made-up face and a friendly attitude, explained all the perks of the house one by one.
The unit was already ready, and one could immediately move in.
Cen Simiao looked at the price written on the contract, then rather despotically, she paid the full amount after giving it a little thought. Following, she directly took the key to open the door, threw her suitcase on the floor, and stood in front of the French windows to look outside.
A bustling scene.
Finally, she managed to move out. If she continued to stay in the Gu’s family home, who would know whether Gu Yu might go crazy one day and try to directly kill her? Especially now that he could neither enter the company nor hold any dignity at home.
Father Gu particularly cared about keeping his face, so no matter what, he refused to let people know that Gu Yu had betrayed the company. All for fear of outsiders making a joke out of him, that he has become dim-sighted because of his old age and even brought home a white-eyed wolf.
[T/N: a white-eyed wolf is a term used to call someone who’s ungrateful, someone who bit the hand that fed them.]
Instead, Gu Yu would just get some money every month, mainly so that whenever he goes out to eat and drink with the other young masters, he wouldn’t humiliate himself.
In the end, everything was for the concept “face”.
Going into the bathroom, she took out the things she would need for a wash, then she waited for the water to reach the set temperature which was incomparably comfortable as it landed on her skin. After the shower, Cen Simiao leaned on the sofa as she wiped her hair that was still dripping with a towel.
And her whole body felt much more relaxed.
Tapping on her phone to unlock it…
Going into WeChat’s messaging interface, the first chat room was An Zeru’s, who had just sent over a message.
She tapped at her screen to go back…
A second later, a WeChat notification rang again, An Zeru had sent over a smile emoticon.
Accompanied by a sentence: [You’re acting really f*ck*ng cute.]
[T/N: Given what we know of An Zeru, if this was face to face, there is 80% this would have been forced out through gritted teeth because Cen Simiao has been ignoring/hanging him.]
Cen Simiao paused. She really couldn’t figure out whether An Zeru meant this as ridicule or that he really felt this way from the bottom of his heart…
