Chapter 118 I Didn’t Treat Him as a Spare Tire
After I help them with this, I'll go back and rest.
When I don’t have classes, I take time to go to the company for live broadcasts.
As soon as Xiao Tiantian saw me, she quietly pulled me to the tea room.
She said to me mysteriously, "Gu Mo, do you know? The company is going to shoot a promotional video, and it's CEO Jiang and Lin Nan who are shooting it themselves."
As she spoke, Xiao Tiantian also showed me the promotional photos on her phone.
It was then that I noticed that the dresses they were wearing were the ones I helped choose that day.
At this point I also realized that what Lin Nan said that day was clearly meant to make me angry.
When I got off work, I suddenly received a message from Song Le.
Song Le may have learned about my recent situation through Song Yuan.
He contacted me on his own initiative even though we hadn't contacted each other for a long time.
I was a little surprised when I saw the message he sent.
Song Le wants to treat me to a meal.
When I learned of his purpose, I refused without even thinking about it.
Thinking of Jiang Yichen’s previous threats, I didn’t want to implicate him.
Seeing that I refused, Song Le didn't insist too much.
But when I thought he had given up, he suddenly appeared at the door of my company.
When I saw him I thought it was an illusion.
After confirming that he was really coming to me, I wanted to avoid him without thinking.
But before I could leave, Song Le found me.
But I tried to avoid him, and he didn't get angry. He just walked towards me in three or two steps.
"Gu Mo, where are you going?"
The voice came from behind me. I was too embarrassed to run away and had to face it.
I made up a lame excuse.
"I left my stuff at the company. I'll go back and look for it."
Seeing that I was lying, Song Le had no intention of exposing me. Instead, he just kept talking with a smile.
"Really? Then I'll accompany you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight to my side without giving me a chance to refuse.
I couldn't refuse him, so I could only let him stay with me.
In order to prevent him from discovering the flaw, I had to go back to the workshop and pick up the USB flash drive.
After seeing me take everything, Song Le told me the purpose of his visit.
"Gu Mo, are you free today? I want to treat you to a meal."
I originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that he would pester me endlessly, I agreed.
Song Le took me to a restaurant near our company.
As soon as I sat down, I saw a familiar figure outside walking towards us.
When I saw Song Yuan suddenly appear, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Yuan walked straight towards me and her face immediately fell when she saw me.
She asked Song Le in dissatisfaction.
"Brother, didn't you say you would treat me to a meal? Why is she here too?"
As soon as he said this, I knew that this dinner was facilitated by Song Leyou.
Song Le persuaded Song Yuan kindly and coaxed her to sit down.
"You go ahead and do it. I have something I want to say to both of you."
Song Yuan's face was full of reluctance, but she did not try to save Song Le's face in public.
She sat opposite me, her eyes full of contempt.
I subconsciously put my hands under the table and became nervous.
I don't know what the purpose of sending it was, but from the moment Song Yuan appeared, I knew that things would not be simple.
Regardless of our emotions, Song Le directly tried to smooth things over and try to reconcile.
"Yuanyuan, I know you have some misunderstandings about Gu Mo, but no matter what, the Gu family and the Song family used to be old friends. I hope you won't do anything excessive in the future."
After saying this, before Song Yuan could answer, Song Le apologized to me on her behalf.
"I'm sorry, Gu Mo. Yuanyuan was also spoiled by her family. It's inevitable that she has a temper. I hope you can forgive her."
Song Yuan's face fell more and more. She crossed her arms across her chest and refused without thinking.
"It's impossible to make peace with her, brother. Don't forget what she did."
Faced with the sudden accusation, I knew I was in the wrong and could only remain silent.
But even so, Song Yuan did not intend to give up.
She vented her emotions all at once.
"Brother, she was the one who first proposed to cancel the engagement. She abandoned you. Why are you still speaking for her now?"
Seeing Song Yuan bringing up old issues, Song Le became extremely angry and subconsciously scolded her.
"What happened in the past is in the past. Why is there any need to talk about it now? Stop throwing tantrums like a child."
Song Yuan was instantly enraged and retorted madly.
"I think you've been bewitched. Only you can be interested in a girl like her."
I felt a little embarrassed when I saw the two siblings arguing because of me.
I want to say something to persuade them, but I don't know who to persuade.
After thinking for a while, I sighed slightly and sincerely apologized to Song Yuan.
"I'm sorry, I was willful at the beginning, so I hurt your brother."
When she heard my apology, Song Yuan looked a little surprised.
I ignored her emotions and continued to explain, "Song Le and I are friends now. It's not like what you think. I treat him as a backup."
After hearing my explanation, Song Yuan's attitude softened.
And just at this moment.
Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan also came to this restaurant.
I never thought such a coincidence would happen and I don’t know how to deal with it.
Before I could react, Lin Nan was already beside me.
She looked at me and Song Le as if she was enjoying a good show.
After a moment, she scoffed.
"Gu Mo, have you found a new employer so quickly?"
As soon as Lin Nan said this, Jiang Yichen and Song Le's expressions changed instantly.
I almost subconsciously denied it.
“Nothing is ever what you think it is.”
Unfortunately, my explanation didn't help at all.
Lin Nan gave him an expression that said, "I understand," and spoke again.
"I know everything. Congratulations first."
Seeing her misunderstanding, I explained impatiently.
"It's not what you think. Song Le and I are just friends."
As soon as I said this, Song Le's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.
But Jiang Yichen quickly responded with a cold snort, his tone mixed with sarcasm.
"Gu Mo, then you have quite a lot of friends."
Then, there was a hint of threat in his words.
"Don't forget who gave you everything you have now. Don't do things you shouldn't do."
Seeing that he misinterpreted me in this way, I suddenly felt sad, but I still explained it instinctively.
"Believe it or not, we're just friends."
Jiang Yichen looked me up and down, and his voice gradually became colder.
"Gu Mo, as the anchor of our company, you should always be careful about your words and actions. What does it mean to have dinner with a man outside?"
Jiang Yichen's words were harsh, and Song Le couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up to refute him on my behalf.
"Is it possible that Gu Mo can only interact with you? She is a person, not your object."
But the next second Jiang Yichen showed a matter-of-fact expression and continued.
"Everything she has now is given by me, so I naturally have the right to have the final say."
The atmosphere between the two of them was becoming increasingly strange.
