Chapter 8: The Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Overbearing Pampering - Give Him Money, or Leave Him
......
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, while outside it was completely quiet without a sound.
Jiang Ziheng was brought up, his face bruised and swollen, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
His mouth was completely stuffed with cloth.
The suite door was deliberately left a crack open, so that people outside could not see what was happening inside, but could clearly hear what was coming from inside.
Jiang Ziheng wasn't stupid; he could tell what was happening inside as soon as he heard it.
Hearing Gu Shanshan's familiar voice crying and begging for mercy, Jiang Ziheng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The person you cherished was bullied and humiliated by the beast inside.
As Gu Shanshan's official boyfriend, Jiang Ziheng felt both angry and ashamed.
He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the bodyguard's hold.
"Mmm..."
With his mouth gagged, he couldn't utter a single word. No matter how angry he was, all he could manage were meaningless growls.
Instead of breaking free, they were suppressed even more severely.
Assistant Wang was afraid of disturbing the people inside, and that the palace might punish them and implicate them.
He gestured to the two bodyguards, who immediately pressed down hard on Jiang Ziheng's shoulders.
Jiang Ziheng was forced to kneel on the ground, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud.
Gong Ye's order was to let Jiang Ziheng listen for only one minute. Assistant Wang glanced at the time.
One minute was just enough time, so I quietly closed the door.
Once closed, all sounds inside vanished instantly.
Assistant Wang breathed a sigh of relief, looking with pity at Jiang Ziheng, who was forced to kneel on the ground, his face filled with anger and pain.
He shook his head, offering well-intentioned advice.
“Jiang Ziheng, the logistics manager of this hotel, right? I advise you, if you don’t want your family and yourself to get into trouble, you’d better not have anything to do with Gu Shanshan anymore. She’s not someone you can mess with.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziheng's gaze towards Assistant Wang became even more furious.
His jaw was clenched so tightly that his face turned pale and his features were contorted.
His eyes were filled with resentment, as if he wanted nothing more than to break free and rush in to rescue Gu Shanshan.
Seeing Jiang Ziheng's unrepentant attitude, Assistant Wang sighed deeply.
In a short period of time, he had all the information about Jiang Ziheng clearly. For Mr. Gong to deal with such a simple person was as easy as stepping on an ant.
But Jiang Ziheng was a clean and simple person, a positive and motivated young man, and Assistant Wang couldn't help but feel some pity for him.
He bent down slightly and pulled the gag out of Jiang Ziheng's mouth.
She gripped his chin and gave him a stern warning, word by word.
"Gu Shanshan has been taken a liking to my boss. If you want to keep your job and your family, you'd better leave this city immediately. If you can, you can go abroad."
After all, who knows when his ruthless and heartless CEO Gong might be in a bad mood and take it out on this unlucky guy, Jiang Ziheng.
If Jiang Ziheng wants to live a safe and peaceful life, he'd better go as far away as possible and hide his identity.
"Pah! You scum and lackeys, don't even think about it! I'm leaving, and I'm taking Gu Shanshan with me!"
Gu Shanshan is his boyfriend, and he would never abandon her and leave her in that bastard's hands.
He kindly reminded him, but the person didn't appreciate it.
"Hmph, I've said everything I needed to say, but you don't appreciate it. What a waste of my breath."
Assistant Wang didn't say anything more. He forcefully shook off Jiang Ziheng's chin, straightened up, and said coldly.
"I've already warned you, but you just couldn't understand it. If anything happens in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
After saying that, he addressed the two bodyguards.
"Throw him out of the hotel."
Jiang Ziheng glared at Assistant Wang and struggled violently to bang on the door of the presidential suite in front of him.
"Stop! You have no right to do this! Let me go! Let me in! Gu Shanshan is my boyfriend! I'm taking him with me!"
Unfortunately, before his hand could even touch the door, he was dragged towards the elevator.
Assistant Wang felt sorry for Jiang Ziheng.
He raised his hand to stop the bodyguard's movements.
He took two steps forward, stood in front of Jiang Ziheng, and spoke sarcastically.
"Jiang Ziheng, if you have any brains, you'd better find out who owns this hotel and who Mr. Gong is. Then you won't say such naive and laughable things anymore."
After he finished speaking, he spoke again.
"You two, after you throw him out, tell the hotel manager that Jiang Ziheng is fired starting today."
Every word that Assistant Wang said reached Jiang Ziheng's ears.
Jiang Ziheng gritted his teeth. He knew who Gong Ye was; how could he not know about his power, wealth, and status?
However, he was unaware that this hotel also belonged to the Gong family.
He accepted that he lacked ability.
However, he still couldn't just leave Gu Shanshan alone. When he brought Gu Shanshan back from the Gu family, he said he would protect her.
We must give him a happy life.
But now everything has just begun, and before he could even start doing anything for Gu Shanshan, it has been abruptly ended.
He was not only unwilling to accept it, but also worried about it.
He was afraid that if he left, Gu Shanshan would really have no one to rely on.
She glared angrily at Assistant Wang, "You can fire me if you want, you can make it impossible for me to live in this city if you want, but please let Gu Shanshan go!"
"Tsk, so devoted."
Assistant Wang lowered his eyes in deep thought.
He suddenly laughed, "Jiang Ziheng, what makes you think that Gu Shanshan won't be happy with our CEO Gong?"
Then, he spoke again, his tone full of malice.
"Perhaps, you have no place in Gu Shanshan's heart at all. You mean nothing to him."
“Our CEO Gong is powerful and influential. It’s his good fortune to have taken a liking to Gu Shanshan. He’s just struggling right now because he can’t figure it out yet. Once he understands, he might kneel at our CEO Gong’s feet and beg for his favor.”
"You're talking nonsense!"
Jiang Ziheng roared in fury.
"I won't allow you to insult him. Gu Shanshan isn't that kind of person. He's so wonderful. You scumbags who collude with each other simply don't understand!"
"don't know?"
Assistant Wang scoffed, "Alright, then let me ask you a question. You just saw it yourself. Will you still be with him without any reservations? Will you still love him as much as before?"
These young people keep talking about true love and never regretting it.
Love is like a delicate but fragile glass bottle. Once a crack appears, even the slightest breeze or disturbance will shatter the entire bottle into pieces.
The love of the past has become sharp, hurtful fragments, piercing the heart and cutting away flesh, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.
Assistant Wang believed that although Jiang Ziheng said he didn't care now, he would definitely feel resentful in his heart later.
However, Jiang Ziheng's answer was beyond his expectations.
Jiang Ziheng replied firmly without hesitation, "I will. No matter what Gu Shanshan becomes, I will still love her!"
"Ha, you don't understand at all. Even if Gu Shanshan was defiled by someone else, that's their fault. It wasn't his choice, so it's not his fault. In my heart, he will always be pure and innocent. The dirty water you've thrown at him can't pollute him in the slightest!"
Jiang Ziheng spoke these words with a serious gaze and a firm tone.
Assistant Wang was taken aback, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He was judging others by his own petty standards.
This Jiang Ziheng is a man of true character.
But what's the point?
This idea is all about money and power; a sincere heart will only make one a laughingstock in the end.
He waved his hand and said, "Just throw him out of the hotel and that's it. We can talk about firing him later."
"Let go! I'm not leaving! I'm taking Gu Shanshan with me! Let me go! Let me go..."
Despite his reluctance, Jiang Ziheng was eventually dragged out.
......
The absurdity of the scene continued until nightfall.
Because of jealousy and anger, Gong Ye did not restrain his actions at all.
Even though Gu Shanshan was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep.
He stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.
Through the swirling smoke, Gong Ye's cold gaze fell on Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan's half-dead appearance made him feel irritable and frustrated.
A chilling laugh echoed in his voice, "It's good that you're awake. Let's listen to something."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned on his phone screen, opened a recording file, and then threw the phone, which was playing a recording, onto the bed.
The phone hit Gu Shanshan squarely next to her ear.
He heard a familiar voice coming from his hand; it was Jiang Ziheng's voice.
Jiang Ziheng said, "I'll leave Gu Shanshan if you give me ten million. I'll take the money and leave immediately!"
