Chapter 31: I Have Never Betrayed You
Gong Ye's shameless words made Gu Shanshan's head spin, turning her face so red it almost exploded.
She glared at Gong Ye with shame and indignation, opened her mouth, but when she saw Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang's father fawning over Gong Ye, she didn't dare to say a word of refusal.
He nodded through gritted teeth, "Okay."
Zhang Yang frowned in confusion, having no idea what kind of riddle Gu Shanshan was playing with Gong Ye.
However, he dared not ask about Gong Ye's identity.
Gong Ye smiled contentedly, "My darling is so good."
Gong Ye was already incredibly handsome, but now, with a smile playing on his lips, his face became even more alluring.
Gu Shanshan dared not speak out against her anger and could only swallow her anger.
Zhang Yang's father also realized that Gu Shanshan was very important to Gong Ye, and immediately turned to look at Gu Shanshan in a flattering manner.
"And this is...?"
Without thinking, Gong Ye pulled Gu Shanshan to stand beside him, very close to him.
If he hadn't been injured, Gu Shanshan would probably be in his arms right now.
"He is me..."
Fearing that Gong Ye might say something inappropriate, Gu Shanshan spoke up immediately before Gong Ye could finish his sentence.
"I'm his friend!"
friend?
Upon hearing those two words, Gong Ye's eyes darkened, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Gu Shanshan's hand.
Gong Ye squeezed Gu Shanshan's wrist until it ached and she frowned, but she stubbornly refused to shake off his hand.
Gong Ye originally wanted to give Gu Shanshan a hard time and tell Zhang Yang and his father to get out of his sight.
But he couldn't bear to give up what Gu Shanshan had promised, so after weighing the pros and cons, he could only keep a straight face and not make a scene.
Gritting his teeth, he echoed Gu Shanshan's words, "Yes, we are friends!"
Gong Ye emphasized the word "friends" heavily, as if he wanted to bite Gu Shanshan to death.
Fearing that Gong Ye would get angry again, Gu Shanshan immediately changed the subject to Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, what's wrong? You look so worried."
Gu Shanshan already knew that Zhang Yang's family company was having problems. She was just giving Zhang Yang's father a chance to talk to Gong Ye.
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Gong Ye, "Brother Gong, didn't you tell me last time that the company was making a batch of investments? What do you think of Zhang Yang's father's company?"
Gong Ye saw the pleading look in Gu Shanshan's eyes as she looked at him, and it seemed as if something had touched her.
His gaze toward Gu Shanshan grew even darker.
Although he doesn't remember anything now, his instincts tell him otherwise.
His relationship with Gu Shanshan was nothing like what Gu Shanshan herself said.
They could never be strangers.
With such a strong desire for Gu Shanshan, how could he possibly allow this delicious little rabbit to escape from his grasp?
They're not strangers, so what kind of relationship do they have?
Gong Ye's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
Is she a lover? Or... a sweetheart?
The thought of the word "lover" deeply moved Gong Ye, causing a dull ache in a certain part of his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.
Seeing that Gong Ye was staring at him with a stern face and ignoring Zhang Yang and his father, he noticed that Gong Ye was staring at him with a stern face and ignoring Zhang Yang and his father.
Gu Shanshan was anxious and spoke up again to remind him.
"Brother Gong, aren't you really curious about Zhang Yang's family company?"
Gong Ye chuckled. He preferred Gu Shanshan calling him "husband" in bed to his "brother Gong".
He gave Gu Shanshan face, then fixed his indifferent gaze on Zhang's father.
"Speak."
Zhang Yang's father gave Gu Shanshan a grateful look.
He immediately stepped forward and excitedly introduced his company's businesses to Gong Ye.
Normally, investment projects of this caliber would never even come to me.
But Gong Ye listened patiently because of Gu Shanshan.
After listening, Gu Shanshan hurriedly asked, "Gong Ye, what do you think? Do you want to invest?"
Gu Shanshan was too anxious and called out Gong Ye's name directly.
The way it called out sounded very familiar.
Gong Ye gave Gu Shanshan a meaningful look.
Ha, the little guy even said he didn't know him before, but he pronounced his name so fluently, how could he not know him?
After Gu Shanshan asked the question, Zhang Yang and his father looked at Gong Ye nervously, their eyes filled with unease and their hearts involuntarily rising.
Gong Ye's answer was crucial to them.
Whether the Zhang family will declare bankruptcy tomorrow depends on a single sentence from Gong Ye today.
Gong Ye didn't answer Gu Shanshan's question, but instead asked Gu Shanshan a question in return.
"If I agree to invest, Shanshan, what benefits will you give me?"
benefit?
Gu Shanshan cursed inwardly. Hadn't he just promised to serve him with his mouth?
How could Gong Ye be so greedy!
Gong Ye seemed oblivious to Gu Shanshan's resentment. "Shanshan, I have no problem with you investing. I know you and Zhang Yang are friends, and it was you who asked me to invest in Zhang Yang's family company. But you still have to give something in return, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang immediately became anxious.
He hurriedly shook his head at Gu Shanshan, "Shanshan, don't make things difficult for yourself, we don't need it."
He looked at his father and said, “Dad, we can’t let Shanshan lose anything for our family. Shanshan is just my friend, and I can’t take advantage of him.”
Mr. Zhang was an upright man, which is why he raised such an excellent child with sound values as Zhang Yang.
He hadn't expected that getting the Gong family to invest would cost Gu Shanshan, so he immediately shook his head.
"Mr. Gu, my family's affairs shouldn't harm you, you shouldn't..."
"fine."
Gu Shanshan interrupted Zhang's father with a smile and looked at Gong Ye, "Gong Ye was just joking with me, you don't need to take it seriously."
As she spoke, she secretly tickled Gong Ye's palm with her own hand.
"Right, Brother Gong?"
He called out "Brother Gong" in an extremely soft voice.
Gong Ye felt a chill in his heart, but outwardly he cooperated and spoke.
"Yes, I was just joking with Shining."
Zhang Yang looked somewhat bewildered, "But just now..."
Gong Ye disliked Gu Shanshan talking to any man other than him, and immediately said coldly.
There are no "buts".
Gong Ye only softens and softens towards Gu Shanshan; when he's with other people, he's cold and aloof, making people feel intimidated at first glance.
Zhang Yang fell silent, not daring to speak in front of Gong Ye.
Gong Ye looked at Zhang's father and said, "Since your son once saved my Shan Shan, then your company's investment can be considered Shan Shan's way of repaying him."
After speaking, he gave orders directly to the butler.
"Notify Secretary Wen that the Zhang family has received an investment of 50 million."
Gong Ye was very generous, spending a full 20 million more than Zhang's father had originally expected.
He immediately said hastily, "Mr. Gong, there's no need for so much, just..."
Before Zhang's father could finish speaking, Gong Ye gave him a cold glance.
"Don't get too excited yet. If you want the Gong family's investment, shut up now and do as I say."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Go back and prepare. Someone from the Gong family will contact you soon to discuss matters related to the investment."
This is a chance for the Zhang family to rise from the ashes, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to give it up.
That was his father's life's work, but he didn't want to harm Gu Shanshan because of his own family.
Hesitantly, he looked at Gu Shanshan. "Shanshan, are you sure this is okay? Will it cause you any difficulties?"
He saved Gu Shanshan's life and never intended to use her for any purpose.
"How could it be difficult?"
Gu Shanshan acted convincingly, "Zhang Yang, you really shouldn't overthink it. You know what kind of relationship I have with Gong Ye. We were just joking."
Fearing that Zhang Yang was still uneasy, he spoke arrogantly.
"Let me be frank with you, Gong Ye's money is my money, and everything the Gong family owns is half mine. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's words, Gong Ye gave her a deep look.
Does Gu Shanshan mean she wants to be his other half?
Ha, this little guy has quite the ambition.
only......
Why wasn't I displeased at all? On the contrary, I felt very happy.
Could it be that before he lost his memory, Gu Shanshan was really his lover?
But if she's his lover, why does he remember everything but forget Gu Shanshan?
Could it be that...
Gu Shanshan betrayed me!
After thinking it over and over, Gong Ye could only come up with this one answer.
His face immediately darkened.
Eager to deal with family matters with Gu Shanshan, she coldly told Zhang Yang and his father, "We have other things to do."
After saying that, he ordered the butler, "Butler, notify the driver."
"Yes, Mr. Gong."
The butler hurriedly pushed the wheelchair, and Gong Ye held Gu Shanshan's hand tightly the whole time.
Zhang Yang and his father were still watching them, and Gu Shanshan, in order to put on an act in front of the two of them, did not break free from Gong Ye's hold.
Once inside the elevator, blocking the Zhang family father and son's view, Gu Shanshan almost immediately snatched her hand from Gong Ye's grasp.
Standing in the corner of the elevator, far away from Gong Ye.
She bit her lip in displeasure and scolded, "You're hurting me!"
Gu Shanshan raised her hand to show Gong Ye, who had just lost control of his strength because he was angry.
Gu Shanshan's wrist was already bruised and purple from Gong Ye's strong grip.
"snort!"
Gong Ye snorted coldly, his mood extremely displeased because of his suspicions.
With a cold expression, he questioned Gu Shanshan, "Gu Shanshan, tell me honestly, the reason I remember everything except who you are is because you betrayed me in the past?"
Gu Shanshan: "..."
Could he say that it might be because he stabbed Gong Ye in the back?
Obviously not.
Gu Shanshan's face stiffened. "Gong Ye, I don't understand what you're talking about."
After saying that, he quickly added, "I have never betrayed you."
"Oh, is that so?"
Gong Ye clearly did not believe Gu Shanshan's words.
"Gu Shanshan, don't forget..."
bite!
Before Gong Ye could finish speaking, the elevator announced its arrival.
The elevator doors slowly opened in front of them, and as soon as they did, Gu Shanshan saw a familiar figure standing outside the elevator doors—a figure as familiar as a nightmare...
