Chapter 39 Private Gathering
“…” I was speechless… This is how conversations end.
Gu Yucheng looked down at me and asked, "Why did you dump He Qingyun?"
"This is my private matter, I don't want to talk about it." I lowered my head, but I felt very depressed inside, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.
"But He Qingyun feels bad about being dumped, I'm quite happy!" Gu Yucheng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an evil smile, like a blooming poppy.
I said coldly, "What happened between us is in the past. Let's not mention him anymore."
Gu Yucheng's eyes turned sinister again, like a demonic one, as if ready to devour someone. "He... I will hate him forever! Until I die!"
I really don't understand. Shouldn't the matter between you and He Qingyun be between the adults? But Gu Yucheng's temper is as terrible as Yu Sheng's, so I didn't dare to ask.
Gu Yucheng then continued to ask: "Will you get back together with him?"
"We have no chance..."
I had finished eating by then, so I stood up with my plate and prepared to leave.
Gu Yucheng reached out and grabbed my arm, his hand gripping me tightly. "It's good that you don't have a chance. If you reconcile with him, I won't show you any mercy either."
At this time, Xu Fei saw Gu Yucheng holding my hand, "Yucheng, what are you doing?"
Chen Xue also stood up nervously and held my hand. Her hands were shaking with fear, afraid that I would get hurt.
"I just want to ask her something, why are you so anxious?" Gu Yucheng looked disdainful.
Then he stood up and walked away. His back looked like a devil, which made me shudder.
Chen Xue asked worriedly, "Qianqian, what did Gu Yucheng ask you?"
"Gu Yucheng knows that I am He Qingyun's ex-girlfriend." I touched my forehead feeling helpless.
"What? You are He Qingyun's ex-girlfriend?" Hu Xin was shocked.
"Who is He Qingyun?" Wang Chenxi asked without knowing who he was.
"He Qingyun is the person Gu Yucheng hates the most." Hu Xin continued, "You guys chat, I'll go see Yucheng."
Hu Xin was worried about Gu Yucheng and ran out to chase him.
Chen Xue asked, "They are all ex-girlfriends. What else does Gu Yucheng want?"
Chen Xue patted my back and encouraged me: "Qianqian, let's stay away from him from now on."
At this moment, my heart felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone, and I smiled bitterly.
Xu Fei came over and comforted me like an older brother: "Don't worry, I'll talk to Yu Cheng and won't let him do anything to you."
"Yeah!" I nodded at their concerned eyes.
I wasn't worried about what Gu Yucheng would do to me, I was worried about He Qingyun. He just said he would fight He Qingyun to the death, which deeply hurt my heart.
I think an unhappy family will have a great impact on a child. Otherwise, Gu Yucheng's personality wouldn't be so extreme.
At noon, I received a call from Yu Sheng as expected. His voice on the other end of the phone was gentle, like the warm sun in winter.
"How was your first day back in school?"
"fine!"
"I'll ask Assistant Liu to pick you up in the evening. I have a party today and won't be going back. If you're scared, go stay at Xiuying's villa next door." Yu Sheng's voice was full of worry.
I asked, "No, can I go home?"
Yu Sheng's temper immediately flared up, and he growled, "Your home? Your home? Your home is where I, Yu Sheng, am."
Yu Sheng’s voice was like thunder, making my eardrums hurt.
"Yu Sheng, don't be angry. I won't be afraid of being alone at home at night. I will wait for you at home!" I hurried to calm him down.
He sternly warned me: "Don't make me angry all the time."
"Yeah! I get it!"
Yu Sheng hung up the phone directly.
After school in the evening, Assistant Liu called me and said there was a traffic jam on the road and kept apologizing.
"It's okay, I can wait for you. Or I can take a taxi back by myself." I said tolerantly.
"Ms. Yao, I still have 10 minutes and will be there soon. I'm so sorry!" He continued to apologize, his tone full of guilt.
"It's okay, be careful!" I replied with a hint of comfort in my voice.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Gu Yucheng rode past me at lightning speed on his expensive motorcycle, leaving me with a trail of exhaust fumes.
I glared at his departing back angrily, cursing in my heart.
"Ms. Yao, I'm here." Assistant Liu has arrived.
He quickly got out of the car and opened the door for me, his movements quick and smooth.
"You don't have to be so polite, Assistant Liu." I said with a smile, and then sat down lightly.
"It's what we assistants should do. I hope Miss Yao doesn't blame me for being too slow." Assistant Liu looked ashamed, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"No, Assistant Liu has done a great job." I comforted him. I felt like he seemed afraid that I would complain to Yu Sheng, but he was only 10 minutes late, so I wouldn't complain.
…
In a luxuriously decorated, highly confidential, high-level conference room, soft lighting cast a shadow across the room. Exquisite paintings hung on the walls, and the tables were set with exquisite wine glasses and snacks. High-ranking officials from Shengcheng sat around a large round table, conversing with Yu Sheng.
Mayor Gu Zhou sat in the main seat, smiling and chatting cordially with Yu Sheng beside him. Next came Public Security Bureau Chief Lu Yang, his sharp gaze, and Bank President Zhou Kun, his eyes penetrating, his expression mature and steady. They sat together, seemingly harmonious, yet in reality, they were secretly colluding, each harboring their own agenda.
At this time, the room was filled with an atmosphere of decadence and extravagance, the music was soft and melodious, the scene was brightly lit and full of wine and women, a prosperous scene.
A group of beautiful women in bright clothes stood quietly in the back. They were tall, curvy, and beautiful, each of them exuding charming charm. However, their eyes were blindfolded, their hands were tightly bound, and they could only wear sexy clothes and wait to be selected.
Seeing that Yu Sheng had no intention of getting up to choose, Lu Yang asked curiously, "Why don't you find anything you like?"
Yu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes, and he replied, "I had a minor surgery and need a few days to recover."
Hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but tease: "I was worried that these vulgar women wouldn't be to your liking?"
Yu Sheng chuckled and replied, "I put a lot of effort into putting this together. How could it be just some cheap rouge and powder? I prepared this especially for you to enjoy slowly."
"It's better for a woman to be experienced, she's more attractive." Gu Zhou laughed after hearing this.
Zhou Kun agreed: "Haha, we all know you like this."
"Please enjoy yourself!" After saying that, Yu Sheng slowly stood up and walked towards the balcony. Ever since he met Yao Qian, he didn't like playing outside anymore. He felt that other women lacked a certain feeling.
After a burst of laughter and joy, the women were sent out one after another.
Mayor Gu Zhou, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to break the silence and asked with a smile, "How have things been lately?"
Yu Sheng replied lazily, "Business is getting bigger and bigger, and our lives will get better and better."
At that moment, Director Lu Yang suddenly stood up, walked to the conference room table, picked up a stack of envelopes, and threw them on the table. He frowned and said, "I've blocked all the reports for you. Can't you show some mercy? The real estate project in the northern suburbs has been a big deal lately. I heard someone jumped from a building yesterday."
Lu Yang continued to warn, "The Municipal Party Committee will be coming to inspect next month, so you should behave yourself during this period."
Yu Sheng thought to himself: He took every penny of the money, but when something goes wrong he wants me to take the responsibility alone.
Yu Sheng was unhappy, but he had to keep a good smile on his face. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said nonchalantly, "What's so difficult about this? You are responsible for receiving the people from above. As for those troublemakers below, leave them to me."
He confidently promised, "I will definitely be able to take care of them within three days."
"Let's raise our glasses and drink for our common interests." Mayor Gu raised his glass and invited everyone to raise their glasses together.
