"Ask away," Gu Zeyu said generously.
Wen Yi didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "I want to ask you some questions about Gu Huaixu."
As soon as Wen Yi finished speaking, Gu Zeyu, who had been relaxed, froze, his expression becoming noticeably more serious than before.
But Gu Zeyu was clearly trying to cover it up. When he looked up at Wen Yishi, he put on the same gentle and refined smile as before.
"Why are you suddenly asking about Ah Xu?"
"I want to know which hospital he was taken to after the car accident, whether he left the hospital or on the way there," Wen asked.
Gu Zeyu pursed his lips, awkwardly put down his chopsticks, and looked out the window with a concealed gaze.
He simply asked vaguely, "Why are you suddenly concerned about Ah Xu?"
“I was with him before.”
As soon as Wen Yi finished speaking, Gu Zeyu abruptly shifted his gaze to Wen Yi and stared at her. "What did you say?"
His eye twitched, clearly shocked and unable to accept the situation.
"The reason he got into a car accident was because of me. The house in the neighborhood next to where the accident happened was where we lived together."
Wen Yi was calm when she recounted this.
A bittersweet ache filled her heart, but she didn't feel the same choking pain she had when she mentioned Gu Huaixu to Second Master Gu before.
Wen Yi didn't know if it was because the person telling the story was different, or because she had become more composed, but in any case, she was quite calm when talking about these things.
Wen Yi remained calm, but Gu Zeyu was unable to stay calm.
All his gentlemanly manners almost collapsed at that moment, and he stood up abruptly from his seat, shouting, "Say that again!"
Gu Zeyu's voice grew louder.
This is a high-end restaurant with a quiet and elegant atmosphere, so Gu Zeyu's loss of control naturally attracted the attention of outsiders.
This is just a small private room, simply separated by a screen.
At the same time, a waiter knocked on the door, saying, "Excuse me, sir, could you please keep your voice down? You're disturbing the other guests."
"I'm sorry." Gu Zeyu composed himself.
After the waiter left, Gu Zeyu sat back down, grabbed a glass of ice water, and gulped it down.
When he put the empty glass down, Gu Zeyu stared at Wen Yi, clearly wanting to say something, but when he moved his lips, he couldn't say anything.
My heart went numb.
This information was too shocking for Gu Zeyu to accept.
Wen Yi said, "Please remember this, Young Master Gu, you must not even tell your mother about this. Otherwise, in the end, it will be the Gu family's reputation that will be damaged, not my reputation. I believe Madam Gu would never want such a thing to happen."
Wen Yi reminded me of this point.
She didn't tell him before because she was afraid of affecting Gu Huaixu's reputation. This time, she chose to tell Gu Zeyu because Wen Yi confirmed what kind of person Madam Gu was.
Madam Gu would not allow such news to come out.
"you……"
Gu Zeyu tried to speak, but found he couldn't say anything. He then pressed the service bell.
"Hello sir, what can I do for you?" The waiter knocked on the door and came in.
"Give me three glasses of ice water," Gu Zeyu said.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"More ice."
"Okay, just a moment."
The waiter left to deal with the situation, while Gu Zeyu kept staring at Wen Yi without saying much, his gaze filled with a lot of emotion.
Wen Yi remained calm and waited quietly.
Because he knew that Gu Zeyu needed time to calm down and process the news.
The waiter quickly brought three glasses of ice water, with ice cubes taking up half of each glass.
Gu Zeyu stared at the ice water, tilted his head back and gulped it down. He drank three cups in a row. The ice made Gu Zeyu's head ache, but it also helped him suppress his emotions a little.
He took a deep breath, stared at Wen Yi, and questioned, "When did you two start dating? How long have you been together? How did you end up eloping and living together?"
"Please answer my previous question first, Young Master Gu." Wen Yi did not back down and met Gu Zeyu's gaze.
Gu Zeyu frowned. "Now it's my turn to ask you a question."
"Now it's our turn to exchange information," Wen said, his mind clear.
Gu Zeyu was even more surprised, never expecting that the usually docile Wen Yi could think so quickly.
Indeed, Gu Zeyu wanted to know information about Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu.
As for the question Wen Yi asked earlier, Gu Zeyu might not answer it.
Wen Yi saw through Gu Zeyu's thoughts and even considered that Gu Zeyu might not tell her about these details and could only exchange information.
After a long period of silence, Wen Yi adopted a strategy of retreating to advance.
"Since Young Master Gu is unwilling to exchange information, I think this dinner should end here. There's no point in continuing."
Wen Yi spoke calmly, and after saying these words, she was already packing her bag and getting up to leave.
Just as Wen Yiren had reached the door and was about to step out, Gu Zeyu's irritated voice rang out, "Come back and sit down!"
Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
This strategy of retreating to advance is very risky. If Gu Zeyu doesn't call her back, she won't be able to discuss these matters with him in the future.
Wen returned to his seat and sat down.
Gu Zeyu stared at Wen Yi, then sighed helplessly, "She passed away in the ambulance. She couldn't be saved at the hospital. That night, my mother arranged a medical team and a private plane to bring her back and try to save her, but she was ultimately pronounced dead."
Wen Yi carefully wrote it down: "Is there an ambulance record, and the name of the hospital?"
“The First Hospital,” Gu Zeyu replied.
Wen made a note of it, knowing he would definitely have to go back to that city sometime.
Go to the hospital.
go……
The house where we used to live together.
Thinking about it, Wen Yi's heart began to ache again.
“I’ve already answered your questions, now it’s my turn,” Gu Zeyu said. “When did you two get together, how did you get together, and how did you end up eloping?”
"We met at a bar the night before you came to my door to discuss marriage and said you wanted to get to know me. After that, we kept running into each other because of you, and you kept bothering me, so we ended up together."
"Huh?" Gu Zeyu let out an incredulous sneer upon hearing this information. "So in the end, I'm the one who made your entanglement happen?"
Wen Yi didn't say that she mistook Gu Huaixu for Gu Zeyu, otherwise Gu Zeyu would probably have gone crazy on the spot.
“We met a night too early,” Wen Yi said truthfully. “If I hadn’t met Gu Huaixu before you came that day, or if you had told me from the beginning that you would choose me instead of Wen Ge, we might be married now.”
This is the truth.
Wen Yi did consider choosing Gu Zeyu at the time, not because she was attracted to him, but because Gu Zeyu was different from others.
Back then, in Wen Yi's eyes, Gu Zeyu was a gentleman, patient, and had a good temper. Even if she didn't love him, Wen Yi would still be happy to have such a husband.
Whether or not she loves someone is not a strong thing for Wen Yi. She just feels that she needs to choose a very good person to get married so that she can spend the rest of her life in peace.
Only a truly good person can have the sense of responsibility of a husband and treat his wife well.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
