Ye Lichuan went out, and the partner's daughter took the things that had been prepared in advance and put them in the water. Ye Lichuan was very self-disciplined and rarely drank alcohol when he went out.
She picked it up and shook it to dissolve it quickly in the water, then sat back down.
Gu Anran tried calling Ye Lichuan, but the call wouldn't go through and no one answered.
She had no choice but to speed up, praying all the way that nothing would happen and that she was just overthinking things.
Ye Lichuan went to the restroom, then returned to the private room and sat down. He said impatiently, "Are you done eating? If you are, I'll go pay the bill. Let's go, I have a lot of things to take care of at the company."
He simply wasn't in the mood to eat and chat with other women, wasting his time. The only person he truly cared about was Gu Anran.
The partner's daughter smiled slightly, picked up her water glass, and said with a smile, "Ye Li, I'll use water instead of wine to thank you for your long-term accommodations. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Ye Lichuan didn't think much of it, picked up his watch and took a sip of water. The daughter of his business partner saw that her goal had been achieved and a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
Ye Lichuan was focused on leaving and didn't pay any attention to the other person's expression. After finishing his drink, he urged, "Let's go."
The partner's daughter smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
Ye Lichuan had just stood up when he felt a little dizzy. He shook his head while holding onto the chair.
What's wrong with him? He narrowed his eyes, staring at the water glass beside him, and asked with a hint of anger, "Did you put something in the water?"
The partner's daughter readily admitted, "What's so great about that old woman? The dosage I gave her was enough to make you dizzy and unable to walk, but you'd still be conscious."
She shamelessly said, "I want you to know that I am better than her and more suitable for you."
Ye Lichuan angrily slammed the water glass to the ground with a loud "bang," and the glass shattered.
Glass shards were scattered all over the floor, but the partner's daughter ignored them and walked step by step toward Ye Lichuan, watching him lean weakly against the chair.
Gu Anran's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and her heart was filled with anxiety. When she got downstairs, she threw the car to the security guard and ran away.
She ran up to the address Ye Lichuan had given her, pressing the elevator buttons repeatedly.
The cleaning lady saw this and said, "Girl, pressing it won't do any good, just wait."
Ye Lichuan watched helplessly as she approached. Unable to move, his veins bulged. He was filled with hatred. If anything happened to him, how could he face Gu Anran?
His voice was hoarse: "We're not right for each other. Even if something happens, I won't be with you. There's only one person I've ever loved."
"You!" The partner's daughter was furious, her face turning ashen. Suddenly, she laughed again: "It doesn't matter, I don't care. As long as I have you, I will have no regrets in this life."
Ye Lichuan's face was dark; he absolutely refused to let this disgusting woman touch him.
Just as the partner's daughter was about to do something, the door was kicked open. Gu Anran was afraid that she didn't have enough strength. She had just stepped out of the elevator when she ran into the restaurant manager who was on patrol. She explained the reason.
The restaurant manager asked someone to help kick open the door, and Gu Anran burst in, only to see the helpless Ye Lichuan.
Gu Anran strode over aggressively with her business partner's daughter, who was dressed in a sexy undershirt, and slapped her...
A resounding slap landed on the face of the business partner's daughter. She ran over and hugged Ye Lichuan, looking at him with red eyes: "I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you waiting."
Ye Lichuan looked at Gu Anran with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not too late. If you had been any later, you wouldn't have seen me at all."
He pointed to the corner of the table, and Gu Anran burst into tears, choking back sobs: "I won't allow you to do anything foolish. If anything happens to you, how will Xiaotian and I live?"
The partner's daughter was frightened. She had just finished dressing and was about to slip away when Gu Anran caught her. She said in full force, "I think there's no need for us to continue cooperating. I will have my lawyer represent Mr. Ye Lichuan to seek compensation from you for everything you did today."
The partner's daughter was completely dumbfounded. She cried and grabbed Gu Anran's arm, "Sister, I just like him too much. I really didn't mean to. You can't let my dad know. He'll beat me to death if he finds out."
Gu Anran flung her hand away. She would never show mercy to anyone who coveted her man.
Ye Lichuan frowned and looked at her expressionlessly. He hadn't expected this woman to be so sinister.
He almost lost Gu Anran because of his carelessness, and he still feels scared when he thinks about it.
Gu Anran called Ye Lichuan's assistant and accompanied him to the hospital. Only after undergoing various tests did she feel relieved.
Gu Anran is still feeling a lingering fear. If she hadn't sensed something was wrong, things would probably be tragic by now.
Ye Lichuan fell asleep after receiving an IV drip, and she sat quietly in the chair watching his sleeping face.
The assistant went to buy food, and Gu Anran politely told him to go home and rest early. He had to go to work tomorrow.
Gu Anran didn't have much of an appetite either. She woke Ye Lichuan up for dinner. The effects of the medicine had mostly worn off, and he insisted on going home, so Gu Anran had no choice but to agree.
I asked the doctor about the specific situation, and he said that I was basically fine and just needed to go home and get a good night's sleep.
After returning home, Ye Lichuan held Gu Anran tightly. He was still terrified. If Gu Anran hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The following night, Li Chuan called the company and received a call from a business partner: "Mr. Ye, I'm very sorry. It was my lack of discipline that led to this."
"Please, have mercy on her this time. I can even reduce the profits from our cooperation."
Ye Liming stared blankly out the window, his face grim, and said, "I cooperated with you because of your reputation in the industry and your outstanding abilities. But I'm sorry, I cannot forgive her for doing such a thing."
"As for cooperation, there's no need for us anymore, because I have serious doubts about your company's quality."
Knowing he was in the wrong, the partner had no face to continue the cooperation, but in order to save his daughter, he still humbled himself and begged Ye Lichuan.
However, Ye Lichuan's attitude was clear: he would not forgive someone who schemed against him like that.
It's a real shame that the collaboration has come to an end.
Ye Lichuan was having a terrible headache lately. He kept rubbing his temples, trying to find a new partner.
Gu Anran was worried about his health, so she called to tell him to eat on time and take good care of himself.
Ye Lichuan suddenly realized that although Gu Anran's company was a new company, its performance and reputation in the industry were quite good.
He tried to speak: "My dear wife, I wonder if you would be interested in collaborating with me? You designed the drawings, so we'll definitely be more compatible."
Gu Anran thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. However, her company had a lot of orders, and if they cooperated, everyone would have to work overtime.
After much deliberation, she agreed to Ye Lichuan's suggestion, which put Ye Lichuan's mind at ease.
