Chapter 193 Revenge

"Well, those people..."

I became even more confused and couldn't help but lie on the door, trying to capture more information.

At this moment, the door of the study suddenly opened, and Jiang Yichen's figure came into view.

He obviously didn't expect me to appear here, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Because I was so focused on eavesdropping, I was at a loss for what to do for a moment and stood there awkwardly.

Jiang Yichen looked at me, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure: "What are you doing standing here?"

After Jiang Yichen came out of the study, his eyes stayed on me for a moment and he asked calmly, "What are you doing?"

I stammered and made an excuse: "Uh... I saw that the light in the study was not on but there were noises inside, so I thought a thief had broken in, so I wanted to come up and see what was going on."

Jiang Yichen frowned when he heard this and said seriously, "If there really was a thief, you should leave the villa immediately and call the police instead of coming up to check it yourself. This is very dangerous."

I nodded guiltily and whispered, "I understand."

Then, I asked tentatively: "Why don't you turn on the light in the study?"

Jiang Yichen did not answer my question directly. He just glanced at me indifferently and turned away.

His look made me even more certain that he must be hiding something regarding the Gu family.

I secretly made up my mind to find out the truth.

The next day, I went to school and met Song Yuan during the break.

I hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask her for help.

"Song Yuan, can you help me ask Song Le out?" I asked tentatively.

Song Yuan immediately became alert when she heard this: "Are you trying to harm my brother again?"

I quickly waved my hands and explained, "No, no, I just want to persuade him. Do you know that he has given me a lot of gifts recently? I don't think this is good, and I want to make it clear to him."

Song Yuan looked at me doubtfully: "Then why don't you make an appointment with him yourself? Why didn't he answer your call?"

I hesitated for a moment: "It was Song Le who didn't answer my call."

He might have guessed why I was looking for him, otherwise he wouldn't have hung up on me.

I didn't rush her, I just asked her to think about it carefully.

Song Yuan thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to help me make an appointment with Song Le, but she put forward a condition: "I must be there too, so that you don't lie to me."

I smiled helplessly, "Okay, I promise you."

After school, Song Yuan specifically asked me to go with her, saying that she had asked Song Le to pick her up from school.

We walked out of the school gate together and saw Song Le’s car parked at the school gate from a distance.

However, when Song Le saw Song Yuan and I coming out together, his face instantly turned gloomy and he drove away directly.

I jogged after him, but after I ran for a distance, Song Le had already driven away and disappeared on the street.

I put my hands on my hips, looked at the direction where he disappeared, panting, with a frown on my face.

"Gu Mo, wait for me. What happened to my brother? Why did he leave?"

His action made me more certain that he was avoiding me again.

"Call him." I had no other choice but to pat her shoulder and order.

Song Yuan didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly called Song Le. The moment the call was connected, I asked her to turn on the speakerphone.

"Brother, why did you leave so suddenly?"

Song Le replied coldly: "There is an emergency at the company, you can go home by yourself."

After she hung up the phone, Song Yuan shook her head helplessly and said to me, "There's nothing I can do. This time it's really not your fault. It's Song Le who was too stubborn."

After I returned home, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

After much thought, I decided to send a message to Song Le, hoping to ask him out to talk things out.

But after sending the message, there was no reply.

I knew that this was not a solution, so I decided to go directly to Song Company to find Song Le.

When I arrived at the company, I learned that Song Le was in a meeting, so I waited patiently outside his office.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Song Le returned to the office after the meeting.

When he saw me, an unhappy look appeared on his face and he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Song Le, please wait a moment." I quickly called him.

He stopped and turned around, with a bit of impatience in his eyes: "What do you want from me?"

I took a deep breath and said seriously, "I want to talk to you about the gifts you gave me recently. I think we need to make things clear."

Song Le frowned, and seemed unwilling to talk to me: "I don't know what you are talking about."

I shook my head and insisted, "But I can't accept such kindness. I don't want this to affect our relationship."

Song Le looked at me, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

He was silent for a while, and finally nodded: “Okay, since you insist so much, let’s find a place to talk it out.

Song Le took me to his office and had someone prepare two cups of coffee and send them in.

I looked at Song Le for a long time before I said sincerely, "Song Le, I actually already know that all those large gifts on the comprehensive anchor show were given by you. I really thank you and I appreciate your kindness, but please don't do this again in the future."

Song Le wanted to deny it at first, but after I listed the evidence one by one, he sighed helplessly and explained: "I just saw that you worked so hard to canvass for votes, but there were very few gifts. I felt a little sorry for you, so I wanted to help you. Don't take it to heart."

I shook my head and said seriously, "Song Le, I participate in these activities to increase my traffic and hope to meet more people who truly support me. If I always rely on the help of acquaintances, I will never truly grow up. What I need is to win more people's recognition and love through my own efforts."

Song Le looked at me, with a flash of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to have really grown up and have your own ideas and persistence. Okay, I promise you that I will never interfere in your affairs again."

Hearing his promise, I breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Song Le. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really hope I can face these challenges on my own."

Song Le smiled and patted my shoulder: "Good job, I believe you can do it. Come on!"

I thanked Song Le and was about to leave when I couldn't help but advise him, "Song Le, stop being obsessed with me. You know, your family has arranged a lot of blind dates for you. If you find a suitable girl, you might as well give it a try. Life is long, and you will eventually meet the one who truly belongs to you."

Song Le's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and he asked, "Are you still in love with Jiang Yichen?"

I remained silent, feeling mixed emotions.

Seeing this, Song Le became even more anxious and blurted out: "But do you know? Jiang Yichen only wants revenge on you! Even the bankruptcy of the Gu family is one of his means of revenge!"
