Fu Hange gave him the address, and Gu Yuan drove her to her apartment building. She didn't look back and walked straight inside. On the brightly lit street, Gu Yuan was laughing in the car, seemingly oblivious to what was going on. This was a small punishment for Fu Hange's audacity in disregarding him. He was curious to see how things would develop between them in the future.
Fu Hange returned to her apartment and rushed into the bathroom, wanting to wash away her exhaustion. The water splashed on her face, but only made her more irritable. After washing, she angrily tossed the wet towel aside. Her phone rang again. Fu Hange realized that since returning to China, her phone had been ringing constantly—first Liu Yunqi, then Gu Yuan harassing her.
She answered the phone irritably, and Liu Yunqi's anxious voice came from the other end: "Tell me honestly, what did you do with Gu Yuan today? Have you progressed to the stage of being lovers?"
Fu Hange was exhausted. She changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, finally finding a comfortable position. She said softly, "You have too much imagination. I just went to talk to him about work. Right now, he's the only one who can help me."
Liu Yunqi was furious. Fu Hange could almost hear her grabbing a weapon on the other end of the phone: "He will help you? He's already being kind by not harming you, let alone helping you. Let me tell you, who in the business world doesn't know his name? He's one of the top business tycoons in the world. Help you? I don't believe it."
"Don't make things worse for me. I'm already exhausted today, and I had to see Gu Yuan tonight and endure his sarcastic remarks. Now I have to come home and be questioned like this by you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunqi immediately feigned a sympathetic tone: "Oh dear, who would dare to upset our Miss Xu? Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson for you tomorrow."
Although she knew Liu Yunqi was joking, Fu Hange still suddenly laughed. She didn't have many friends, and Liu Yunqi was the only one she could confide in and chat with all night. She didn't want to bring her bad mood to her. Fu Hange talked with her all night. In her drowsy state, she suddenly felt that the two of them together was like heaven giving two lonely hearts a final bit of comfort.
Fu Hange didn't fall asleep until the early morning, and soon after, her phone vibrated again. But this time, no matter how loud the ringtone was, Fu Hange remained sound asleep. She didn't wake up groggily until one afternoon, and when she turned on her phone, she saw more than ten unsaved numbers. Clearly, they were from Gu Yuan. Fu Hange knew she couldn't escape him this year, so she simply typed "Gu," concise and clear.
Since it was already late, I figured I might as well go later, around the afternoon.
When she arrived at the company, although the people downstairs dared not look directly at her, most of them had opinions about her. She was still a little nervous. As she was just starting out, it was not advisable to be too flamboyant. Fu Hange ignored their gazes and walked towards the top-floor office.
The first thing she did upon entering was to check whether Gu Yuan had kept his promise, but the answer was no; the Xu family was still gradually weakening. She was furious and hurriedly came downstairs. Seeing her like this, the employees truly felt sorry for the Xu family. When Xu Haicang was in charge, the Xu family had always been incredibly powerful; how could they have ended up in this state?
Fu Hange ran straight to Mingheng, pushed open the door and confronted Gu Yuan: "Why don't you keep your promise? I've already signed the contract. If you renege on your promise, I'll sue you immediately."
