The familiar voice made Yu Sheng frown. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
But—what is he doing here? Even if he was coming, why didn't he tell her beforehand?
As Yu Sheng was feeling unhappy about these things, Gu Ye walked in with steady and powerful steps.
His appearance silenced everyone in the room, and even Li Ran, who had just been pointing her finger at her and cursing, didn't dare to say a word.
Compared to Gu Ye's noble status, Li Ran and the others were just ordinary people. They dared to curse him behind his back, calling him a cheating scumbag and pretending to be affectionate, but they didn't dare to say it to his face. Once they did, they could forget about staying in the capital!
When Yu Sheng caught a whiff of mint mixed with tobacco in the tense air, she turned around and saw that Gu Ye had already walked up to her. He often smoked a kind of thin cigarette that emitted a minty smell when it burned. If you smoked too much, you would get that smell on your body.
As Yu Sheng and Gu Ye locked eyes, she asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What are you doing here?"
Gu didn't say anything, but patted Yu Sheng's head affectionately, as if to say: Don't be afraid, your husband is here!
However, his actions did not make Yu Sheng feel pampered; instead, they exacerbated her displeasure. Before she could speak, he withdrew his hand and walked towards Li Ran.
Li Ran's pupils dilated instantly in tension as she watched Gu Ye walk towards her with a face full of fear. The sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground stimulated her heart and nerves.
He stopped a step away from her. His 185cm height and domineering aura made her feel extremely intimidated, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Gu Ye asked, "Who did you just call morally corrupt? Who did you say she was a mistress to?"
Gu Ye's voice was gentle, like a normal inquiry, without any hint of reprimand. He even had a smile on his face, but this did not reduce Li Ran's fear in the slightest.
Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
She lowered her eyes timidly, looking at his gleaming leather shoes, thinking: Gu Ye must be here because Yu Sheng invited him to back him up! She had just slandered Yu Sheng so much; Yu Sheng would definitely not let Gu Ye let her off the hook! How would she get Gu Ye to deal with her? Kick her out of the concert hall? Kick her out of Beijing?
Thinking of this, Li Ran felt a lump in her throat and her eyes felt hot.
She suddenly regretted her impulsive decision last night to expose their affair.
She shouldn't have exposed it. She should have taken the opportunity to curry favor with Yu Sheng. Once she got on good terms with her, she might even be able to get in touch with high society.
But it's too late to say anything now...
As fear and regret overwhelmed Li Ran, Gu Ye's question rang out above her head again: "Why aren't you answering?"
Li Ran was so shocked that her body and mind trembled. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes flowed down her cheeks and shattered on the ground.
Through her blurry vision, she saw a hand holding a tissue reaching out to him.
Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Gu Ye smiling through her tear-blurred eyes, saying, "Why are you crying? Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying you."
Li Ran dared not accept the tissue Gu Ye offered; she was terrified. Sniffling, she forced herself to say:
"Mr. Gu, did you hear me correctly? I didn't say that Yu Sheng was anyone's mistress. How could Yu Sheng be anyone's mistress?"
Gu chuckled softly, withdrew his hand from the tissue, put it in his coat pocket, looked at the photos on the TV, examined them for a moment, and then looked at Li Ran: "Did you take these?"
Li Ran vehemently denied it: "No! I didn't take the picture! I don't know who took it!"
Gu chuckled and stopped pressing Li Ran for answers. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't you guys think this photo is pretty good?"
No one knew what Gu was planning to do, so no one dared to say a word.
But this was Bu Yizhuo's territory after all, and it wouldn't be good for him to remain silent. So, he walked up to Gu Ye and said, "President Gu, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!"
"I'm relieved to hear what Director Bu said."
Gu Ye's tone and expression were no different from before, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Bu Yizhuo is over fifty years old this year. He has lived most of his life and met many people, but this is the first time he has met a smiling tiger like Gu Ye who is so young. He can't help but sigh: No wonder he was able to turn Libu from loss to profit in just two years. Ordinary people are really no match for him!
"Is there something you need, Mr. Gu?" Bu Yizhuo asked.
"Nothing much, just passing by on my way, so I stopped by to see my wife..." Gu said casually.
Bu Yizhuo was taken aback: "Mrs. Gu is watching the performance here?"
"No, my wife works here!"
"Work? Work?" Bu Yizhuo asked in surprise. "I wonder which department Mrs. Gu works in?"
"I don't really know which department it is, but you guys know them!"
"We know each other?" Bu Yizhuo asked in confusion. "May I ask your wife's name?"
"sure!"
After Gu finished speaking, he walked up to Yu Sheng, put his arm around her slender waist, and said to Bu Yizhuo, "Let me formally introduce you, my wife—Yu Sheng! My legal wife!"
As Gu Ye finished speaking, everyone except Zhou Jiashu was stunned on the spot!
Bu Yizhuo looked incredulous: "Yu Sheng is your wife?"
"Yes!" Gu Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Sheng Sheng doesn't want to receive attention because of me, so I haven't revealed her identity. I didn't expect you all to misunderstand!"
Bu Yizhuo realized that he had made a hasty conclusion that Yu Sheng was a mistress without understanding the situation, and he felt embarrassed. He was too proud to apologize to her, so he asked Li Ran and the others to apologize to her.
Li Ran was already filled with regret. When she learned that Yu Sheng was Gu Ye's legal wife, her legs went weak with fear, and now her hands hanging at her sides were trembling.
