Chapter 26: Chapter 26 The Unexpected Guest in His Room 1

Translator: 549690339

The calls were non-stop.

I was really exhausted and had no interest in picking up the phone.

1 turned it off, lay down and fell asleep immediately.

I slept like a log.

It wasn’t until after six in the evening that I woke up.

Hunger woke me up!

I got up, took a shower and found that the refrigerator was empty.

I put on my coat, ready to go out for some grub and in the meantime, turned on my mobile phone.

I checked who had been calling me.

Ye Mengyan, Shen Yishu, Annie and several colleagues from the office had all called.

I responded to each one…

I didn’t feel like calling Ye Mengyan and so I just sent her a brief text message-

“What do you want?”

She responded quickly,

“Oh, 1 saw on the news that Elder Brother Gu got stabbed. I wanted to ask you about it.’

“Indeed he did!”

“Thank you, I have already heard!” Subsequently, I tried calling Wenya.

Her phone was off.

I wondered if she really did leave town. Then came the call from Shen Yishu.

“Are you free? I’d like to talk.”

“Sure!”

I was starving and didn’t mind having company for dinner.

We settled into a budget-friendly tiny eatery, ordering a few stir-fried dishes.

Shen Yishu looked ragged!

As if he had been terribly shocked.

I ordered a cold beer and offered him a glass.

“I’m not a drinker!”

His cheeks reddened.

“It’s alright, this is a light brew. All of us get from no to yes…”

Fresh out of college, he really isn’t a drinker yet.

But to survive in this world, young men have to learn some social niceties, like drinking.

That’s the first step to liquor table etiquette. If you want to strike some business, you got to learn how to drink.

Of course, I did have my reasons for inviting Shen Yishu for a drink.

Shen Yishu is still rather naive, unsuspecting of me and I started feeling a bit guilty. Was I corrupting a good young man?

“Come on, let’s drink up!”

I encouraged him to drink.

Shen Yishu, albeit hesitantly, downed three glasses. His cheeks flushing, he put down the glass and asked me,

“Tell me, how can one win back a girl’s heart?”

I hesitated momentarily, “Did something happen between you and Ye

Mengyan?”

Shen Yishu let out a sigh, appearing agonized.

“l always thought we’d just happily go on. She was a very simple girl when I first met her. At that time, stars shone in her eyes.”

Shen Yishu seemed a bit tipsy.

Truth be told, purely from an appearance perspective, he and Ye Mengyan did indeed make a good match.

“Throughout the three to four years at college together, our relationship was great. But as graduation neared, she suddenly changed.”

“Hmm, in what way?”

“We had initially agreed to get engaged post-graduation. But last month, she suddenly turned on me! She became very cold toward me and every time I wanted to meet her, she always had some excuse to refuse. Even a small thing could lead to an argument. It’s happened over and over. I have really tried hard to love her, but I don’t know how to win her back.”

Looking at the passionate and loyal man before me, my heart filled with sympathy…

How could he ever compete with Gu Yuanzhou as a rival?

If he has won over Gu Yuanzhou, then he probably won’t stand a chance for a lifetime.

“Sometimes, what a woman desires is a sense of security.”

“l know that! I’ve been working hard on it! I’ll find a way to make money and provide her with a stable life.”

I had been hinting, in a roundabout way for quite some time, but Shen Yishu was too immersed in his own world to catch on to my underlying tone.

“Have you ever considered, it might not be your fault!”

“If it’s not my fault, then what could it be?”

“In those past four years… were you sure your relationship was really that good? Do you know everything about her? Did she do anything unusual?” 𝒻𝑟𝑒𝓮𝔀ℯ𝓫𝓃𝑜𝓋𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓶

My question took Shen Yishu aback.

After a long pause, he finally said,

“Mengmeng is actually quite a simple person. If I had to point out anything unusual, it would be that during the four years at university, she seemed to not get along well with her classmates. She was always alone. I know she feels inferior and is afraid of being looked down upon.”

1 frowned slightly. A loner? That’s not inferiority, but rather, an easy way to keep her own deeds under wraps.

“So she’s that introverted, there’s something off with her character, right?”

“She shouldn’t have any flaws. In fact, she does have a friend, a very close elder sister…she visits her every Friday, so I can’t find her every Friday night.” Upon hearing this, my hands trembled slightly as I held my glass.

In the past four years, Gu Yuanzhou usually either doesn’t come home on Fridays or comes home very late.

Sometimes it’s at midnight, sometimes it’s at one in the morning. He said he had business to take care of, so he could spend the weekends with me and the kids.

Men in business do have social obligations, I can understand that. I just didn’t expect that he was going to see Ye Mengyan on those days!

As the saying goes, in vino veritas.

Shen Yishu didn’t suspect me at all and I managed to get the information I wanted from him.

Fact checked!

Ye Mengyan is lying.

Her relationship with Gu Yuanzhou is not as simple as she described it to be.

After parting ways with Shen Yishu.

1 decided to visit Gu Yuanzhou in the hospital.

Even though he hadn’t called me, rage filled my heart. I wanted to confront him to verify something.

On my way, I checked my cell phone.

It turns out that Gu Yuanzhou being attacked was trending on social media.

Photos from the scene went viral, especially ones where Gu Yuanzhou was lying in a pool of blood, being lifted onto an ambulance…

Originally, Gu Yuanzhou was a victim of the Golden Bay fire.

After this accident, netizens sympathized and supported him even more.

As a result, I saw a flood of supportive comments under that post.

“This man is really pitiful!”

“Yeah, he lost his wife and children, we definitely need to support him!”

“Oh god, his injuries are so serious! Where is he hospitalized? Let’s all visit him.”

“Heard he’s suing the property management company for justice.”

“Heard he got a Yin Mansion for his late wife’s child and he visits frequently. What a devoted man!”

Perhaps Gu Yuanzhou’s charm had already won over his fans. This injury brought in even more sympathizers.

The post made the hot search list…

The company’s website crashed due to high traffic.

From a business perspective, Gu Yuanzhou could be considered as having turned into a blessing in disguise.

This advertising effect was even better than spending ten million on advertising at CCTV.

I went to the hospital a little later, originally planning to talk to him about it.

Unexpectedly, just as I got to the door of his ward, I heard Ye Mengyan’s voice….
