Chapter 15 He Fell into the Vinegar Jar
"Tell Zihuai to postpone the attack on the Song family and take out the Jiang family first."
Dark clouds loom overhead.
The gloomy and oppressive atmosphere inside the car made Yingyue unconsciously shrink back, her Adam's apple bobbing nervously.
"Yes, Master."
Yingyue took out her phone but didn't dare make a voice call. Instead, she silently sent a message to Shen Zihuai, her fingers lightly touching the screen, not daring to make a sound.
Before the other party's message arrived, Shadowmoon had the foresight to mute herself first.
As expected, Shen Zihuai sent over a dozen questions in quick succession.
The last message clearly conveyed inquiry and concern.
Is the boss in a good mood? Can I talk to him in person?
Yingyue lowered her head and typed out a few words softly.
[She's fallen into a vat of vinegar; anyone who touches her now is doomed!!!]
As he expected, the other party immediately stopped and dared not send another word.
The suffocatingly low pressure persisted all the way to the underground parking lot of the Brahma Palace. Just before getting on the elevator, Gu Jinyuan suddenly turned his head and asked a question.
"Is the torture chamber ready?"
Yingyue immediately bowed and replied, "It's all done."
"Let's go take a look."
After Gu Jinyuan finished speaking, he changed direction and stepped into the elevator next door to go directly to the eighteenth floor.
Gu Jinyuan strolled around the torture chamber, picking and choosing two instruments of torture. Yingyue watched in horror, wondering what her master intended to do.
Could it be that he's been drinking too much vinegar and is finally going to take drastic measures against his wife?
He silently wiped the chill from his forehead, feeling a growing worry for his wife.
The moment Gu Jinyuan stepped into the house, his cold and stern aura vanished, and he couldn't wait to take out his phone to send a message to Su Ruan.
[Honey, I'm sorry. When are you coming home?]
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Gu Jinyuan frowned and sent another message.
[Baby, please talk to me, don't leave me, I'm scared...]
This time, the other party replied.
[Going shopping with my best friend, don't wait for me, let's rest first.]
Gu Jinyuan stared intently at the screen, a surge of jealous anger welling up in his eyes once more.
The Song family members were indeed despicable and shameless villains, and they were his number one enemy whom he wanted to eliminate.
Not only did they ruin his life, but now they're trying to steal his beloved.
Unexpectedly, he not only tries to steal wives from men, but now he also tries to steal wives from women.
All those who tried to steal his wife deserved to die, but he could deal with the Jiang family openly and fairly, yet he couldn't treat the Song family this way.
No matter how flawless a plan is, it can still be exposed. Before he won his wife's heart, he didn't want the Song family to find any trace of his existence.
In this world, anything can be gambled away, including one's life.
She is the only one who cannot be.
Even if she only slightly furrows her brow, he would feel so heartbroken that he would feel like he could suffocate on the spot.
Gu Jinyuan swiped his finger to bring up a locked file on his phone, and continued recording amidst countless densely packed accusations.
Article 305 adds another crime to Song Feiwan's list.
Today, Song Feiwan abducted my wife, which really annoys me. I wish I could dig a hole and bury her right now. But I can't. I'm still depressed after being separated from my wife for three hours, twenty-eight minutes, and forty-two seconds.
......
After putting her phone away, Su Ruan sighed, while Song Feiwan, sitting opposite her, chuckled.
"What are you doing? You're acting like a worried mother about her grown son. Didn't you call and ask? Your husband is fine and has already come home."
Su Ruan shook her head. "It's not that I'm worried about his safety, I'm just a little regretful."
"Regret?" Upon hearing these two words, Song Feiwan immediately perked up, stood up, and pulled Su Ruan. "Regret marrying him? That's fine, I'll take you home right now, pick up that guy, and rush to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get you to cut in line and get this divorce done."
"It's not that I regret getting married, it's that I regret slapping him just now." Su Ruan twisted her wrist and pulled it back.
Song Feiwan's eyes widened, and she plopped down next to her, her gossipy nature immediately piqued.
"Ruanbao, I'm quite impressed with you these past few days! You're such a good-tempered person, how come you've learned to hit people? How angry must that person have been? Tell me what happened."
Su Ruan found it difficult to speak, so she closed her mouth and shook her head.
Song Feiwan was so anxious that she scratched her head and tried every trick in the book, finally forcing Su Ruan to secretly reveal some details.
Song Feiwan was so happy that she trembled all over, tears streaming down her face.
Su Ruan angrily scratched her waist, "I shouldn't have told you, you'll just laugh at me."
"No, no, I swear to God, my darling, I'm just happy for you!" Song Feiwan forced herself to stop laughing and earnestly comforted her.
"Honestly, your husband may not have many other good qualities, but his boundless energy is something I truly admire. I'm even jealous of you, sister, you're eating so well."
Song Feiwan pretended to pinch Su Ruan's increasingly fair and rosy cheeks, tears of envy streaming down her face.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm serious." Su Ruan grabbed her best friend's hand and expressed her concerns.
"Gu Jinyuan had a bad living environment since childhood. I can imagine how hard it was for him to make a living under his stepfather and stepmother all these years. He finally escaped, but he still hasn't found his biological father. He can only sell his smiles in places like clubs to earn a living."
I don't know how those rich women bullied him in the past, or what kind of psychological trauma they caused him. He was really obsequious and servile to me, trying his best to please me.
And today, in a fit of anger, I hit him. Didn't that further exacerbate his low self-esteem?
After thinking for a moment, Song Feiwan said truthfully, "Indeed, children who grow up in such an extremely dark environment either become madmen or as cowardly as mice."
Now that you mention it, it seems your partner is the latter. He's treating you like a lifeline, desperately trying to please you, but he's using the wrong methods.
But don't worry, since he's made it through all these years, he won't be driven to despair by your slap. Just comfort him when you get home, and there shouldn't be any major problems.
What I'm most worried about right now is your parents' attitude towards you. I feel like their attitude has changed a lot. Take today's incident, for example; it's not something parents should say.
Sister, I advise you to think carefully about how to handle this relationship with them in the future. That Jiang Siyan is no pushover either, so be very careful!
Su Ruan was genuinely touched by the worry in her best friend's eyes.
She never imagined that she, once a beloved and cherished daughter, would fall to the point of being abandoned by everyone, with only one close friend who would genuinely stand up for her.
Su Ruan clung to Song Feiwan, refusing to let go, and unconsciously began to act coquettishly.
"Little Bowl, what would I do without you? You swore you'd be my best friend for life."
Song Feiwan outwardly resisted Su Ruan's embrace with impatience, but inwardly she was incredibly tender-hearted.
Although their families were not in the same social circle, she just found Su Ruan particularly pleasing to the eye and treated Su Ruan like a younger sister, taking advantage of the fact that she was two months older than her.
She always wanted to protect her like a mother hen, shielding her from all the ugliness in the world.
While the two were joking around, Song Feiwan's phone vibrated.
She answered the phone with a smile, but her face turned ashen with anger at the content of the call.
"Are you all useless? You can't even handle this small matter. Call a meeting with all department managers immediately. I'll be there in ten minutes."
Su Ruan noticed something was off about Song Feiwan's tone and quickly stood up to ask.
"What's wrong, Little Bowl?"
Song Feiwan gritted her teeth, picked up her bag, and stood up. "Ruanbao, something's happened at the company, I have to go back immediately. Contact me if anything comes up, we can make another appointment!"
Su Ruan nodded, watching her best friend drive away in a flurry.
