Chapter 5 Guilty and Fear



"Yi Wei." Sun Qi trotted after Yi Wei, patted his shoulder and said, "So you already knew about their affairs. I thought you really liked Gu Heng so much that you didn't care about what he did. You're pretending well."

"If you really love so humbly, you are despising yourself." Yi Wei said expressionlessly.

"That's right." Sun Qi nodded and said, "I was saying it. You are such a smart person, how could you not see that Gu Heng and Yi Xuan have been together without telling you. Your way of counterattacking and retaliating is simply too satisfying. You should treat them like this, so that they can also feel what it feels like to be concealed and betrayed."

Sun Qi has always disliked Gu Heng and Yi Xuan, thinking that they are both extremely hypocritical. He hopes that they can be together forever and stop harming other people.

Yi Wei was very calm and composed, because such a small counterattack and revenge could not bring him joy when he was in greater sorrow.

Sun Qi was more excited than Yi Wei. He said happily, "I was standing opposite them just now and saw their expressions clearly. It was so refreshing that I almost couldn't control my laughter. I think for at least a week... no, it should be at least a month. Whenever I think of their expressions, I will laugh. Thank them for providing me with laughter for a month."

"But I was also very surprised that you became Director Gu's intern assistant." Sun Qi said, "But think about it carefully. Although your becoming Director Gu's intern assistant was beyond everyone's expectations, it was also reasonable. After all, your personal total score was the highest."

"I'm going to see Secretary Wu. If you want to go back to the dormitory, you should go that way." Yi Wei pointed to another road and said.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Then I'll go back to the dormitory first and talk to you in the evening." After saying this, Sun Qi turned and left to the other side.

Yi Wei looked at Sun Qi who was gradually walking away, couldn't help but sigh, and then continued walking forward.

Secretary Wu was about to tell Yi Wei what work he would be responsible for in the future, but Yi Wei asked to see Gu Yueshan. After consulting Gu Yueshan, Secretary Wu took him to Gu Yueshan's study.

"From today on, you can stay here legitimately. I will have someone arrange accommodation for you. If your parents have any objections, let them come to me." Gu Yueshan put down the documents in his hand, looked at Yi Wei and said, "Do you have any other requests?"

Gu Yueshan had already changed out of the black suit he was wearing when he just came back, and he no longer looked as imposing as he had just been in the meeting room at home, but Yi Wei was still a little afraid to face him.

"I..." Yi Wei carefully observed Gu Yueshan's expression, then glanced at the glasses that Gu Yueshan had put aside. After feeling a little relieved, he mustered up the courage to say, "Director Gu, I want to take a few days off to go abroad to visit my adoptive mother."

"Okay." Gu Yueshan said.

"There is one more thing, which is... Regarding my previous request that you stop Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's engagement, there is no need to proceed. Please let their engagement party go on smoothly."

After overhearing what Yi Hong and Zhao Zhen said, Yi Wei learned that they had helped him cancel his engagement, that Gu Heng was going to get engaged to Yi Xuan, and that they wanted him to leave the Gu family to study abroad in order to avoid embarrassment for Gu Heng and Yi Xuan. He was so angry that he ran to Gu Yueshan and made a deal with him in order to stay in the Gu family and take revenge on Gu Heng and Yi Xuan.

If he didn't come to find Gu Yueshan, Jiang Shuqin would definitely find a way to make him leave the Gu family school. Even if he used other methods to stay, without relying on Gu Yueshan, it would be difficult for him, an outsider, to deal with Gu Heng and Yi Xuan in the Gu family. For example, asking the chief supervisor to help him conceal the fact that he had withdrawn from Gu Heng's group. No one else could do it except Gu Yueshan.

Gu Yueshan looked at Yi Wei and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I just suddenly figured it out. I feel that I shouldn't do something worthless for someone like Gu Heng. Just like Mr. Gu said to me before, I should live more proudly." Yi Wei said.

Gu Yueshan stood up, walked to Yi Wei, looked at his face and asked, "Have you really thought it through?"

Yi Wei didn't dare to look Gu Yueshan in the eye, and because Gu Yueshan was too close to him, he couldn't help but want to step back. But he knew that Gu Yueshan would not do anything to him now, so he resisted the urge to retreat, and answered seriously: "Yes, I have thought about it."

"It would be great if you really figured it out." Gu Yueshan lifted Yi Wei's chin, asked him to look up, looked into his eyes and said, "In addition to living proudly, you should also be more confident and look at my face when you speak."

"Yes." Yi Wei answered, but he looked away immediately after less than two seconds.

Yi Wei was not unconfident, he just felt guilty and afraid when facing Gu Yueshan.

Almost everyone in the Gu family was waiting for the news about who Gu Yueshan had chosen as his assistant, so the news that Yi Wei became Gu Yueshan's assistant quickly spread throughout the Gu family.

Under normal circumstances, if Gu Yueshan wanted to add an intern assistant, it would be normal and no one would interfere. But this time everyone thought it had a special meaning, but Gu Yueshan chose Yi Wei, who had nothing to do with the Gu family. After thinking about it, they felt that Gu Yueshan simply did not want to choose Gu Heng and Gu Chang, and it was very likely that he was not satisfied with both of them. Then perhaps other people would have a chance.

In fact, Gu Yueshan never said that he would choose between Gu Heng and Gu Chang as his assistant, nor did he admit that whoever he chose as his assistant was the one he was going to train as his successor. All this was just their own speculation, and they believed it after it was passed around.

As for this matter, after they kept guessing, they had no idea what would come out.

Yi Wei was preparing to go abroad these two days. Zhao Zhen called him many times, but he didn't answer. They came directly to his dormitory to find him. He could have refused to meet them, but after considering it, he decided to go meet them and make things clear with them.

When Yi Weiyi walked into the hall, Zhao Zhen immediately stood up, looked at him and called out, "Yi Wei..."

After Yi Wei sat down, he looked at them and said, "What do you want to say?"

"This is not the place to talk. Why don't you come home with us first so we can have a good talk, okay?" Zhao Zhen said to Yi Wei.

"We have an early flight tomorrow morning, so we need to go to bed early tonight. Just say whatever you want to say." Yi Wei urged after checking the time on his cell phone.

"Yi Wei, about your becoming Director Gu's intern assistant..."

"I thought you were going to talk about Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's engagement." Yi Wei said sarcastically, "It turns out that my becoming Director Gu's intern assistant is more important."

"Yi... We hid the matter between Yi Xuan and Gu Heng from you. It was wrong of us. We apologize to you." Zhao Zhen looked at Yi Wei and said, "But Yi Wei, if Gu Heng really liked you, we would definitely hope that you two could be together. But Gu Heng likes Yi Xuan. You two won't be happy if you force yourself to be together. Besides, he won't force himself to be with you. Why don't you just let this matter go? Your father and I will find a way to compensate you."

Yi Wei nodded slowly and said, "Because Gu Heng doesn't like me, and because he doesn't want to be with me, it makes perfect sense for you to break off the engagement without telling me. The fact that you hid it from me and deceived me together is not the point, and it's not important at all. The important thing is that Gu Heng doesn't like me, and we can't be together by force, right?"

Zhao Zhen failed to shift the focus and was speechless after being blocked by Yi Wei. He could only look at Yi Hong.

"We know you are angry, and you should be angry. We are in the wrong in this matter, and we have no reason to defend ourselves. You can apologize in any way you want us to." Yi Hong looked at Yi Wei and said, "Now, regarding your becoming Director Gu's assistant, we hope you can take the initiative to decline the offer. The situation in the Gu family is complicated, and there is no benefit for you to get involved. We are doing this for your own good, so please don't make a fuss with us about this matter."

"Does becoming Director Gu's assistant mean participating in the Gu family's struggle? Director Gu has more than a dozen assistants. Are they all involved in the complicated situation of the Gu family?" Yi Wei sneered and said, "It feels so ridiculous to be insulted by my own biological parents. In your mind, am I so stupid and so easy to deceive?"

"Yi Wei, please ...

A mother's tears are like a universal lock to a child. If Yi Wei had not experienced what happened in his previous life, he would definitely be soft-hearted. But now he only feels irony, and even a little sad when he thinks of his previous life.

Yi Wei looked at the time again and said, "I should go to bed, so I'll just make it clear to you. First, I don't accept your apology because your apology is just to make me give in. You don't really feel sorry at all, and you don't think you did anything wrong. Second, I have studied for free at Gu's family school for a few years, and now Director Gu wants me to be an intern assistant. I have no reason to refuse. Third, I am an adult, and I have the right to make my own decisions. I will definitely pay you back, and you'd better not bother me again in the future."

After saying this, Yi Wei stood up and quickly returned to his room.

"Yi Wei!" Zhao Zhen stood up and called out, "Yi Wei..."

"What should we do now?" Zhao Zhen looked at Yi Hong and said, "There is also a birthday party prepared for Yi Wei. He is so angry now, he will definitely not attend."

"Call him again in a few days and ask. The invitations have already been sent out, so the banquet will definitely be held." Yi Hong said with a sigh.
