When Yu Sheng saw Ethan, who should have been in Switzerland, appear before her, she was only puzzled.
If he hadn't run away, but calmly told her that something had happened in the capital and he had to come back, she wouldn't have suspected anything!
But his panicked escape made her realize something was wrong.
After learning of Professor Charles's reputation, she tried every means to contact him through connections, even at the cost of money, but in the end she was deceived.
Although Gu Ye didn't tell her in detail how he got in touch with Ethan, her first instinct was that Gu Ye had been deceived by this foreigner!
To get the foreigner to tell the truth, she went so far as to bring up her identity as the sister of the CEO of Shengshi Group to scare him.
If the foreigner had any backbone and would rather die than submit, she wouldn't have sought Shang Yan's help.
Firstly, their 'sibling' relationship had always been cold; secondly, she didn't want him to see her make a fool of herself.
Fortunately, the foreigners weren't scared at all.
But what did he mean by that?
What does it mean that Gu Ye instructed him to do that?
Yu Sheng frowned, staring at the foreigner's uneasy face, and couldn't figure it out even after thinking for a long time.
So he asked, "What did Gu Ye instruct you to do?"
If we were to be honest, the foreigners would have some reservations.
He feared Shang Yan's power and was also afraid of Gu Ye's retaliation.
But now that things had come to this, he had no way out. He sighed and said, "I'll just tell you straight: your husband gave me a sum of money to pretend to be Professor Charles's student and help him put on that show!"
The foreigner started speaking Chinese as soon as he started chatting with Yu Sheng.
Although his Chinese had a foreign accent, it was still quite fluent.
So she heard every word he said very clearly, but she couldn't understand it!
She initially thought the foreigner was posing as Professor Charles's student to swindle Gu Ye out of money, but now it turns out Gu Ye was the one paying the foreigner to pretend to be Professor Charles's student!
The turn of events was completely unexpected for Yu Sheng, so much so that she was stunned for a long time.
Why?
Why did Gu Ye do that?
The foreigner said, "I'm just someone who does things for money. He naturally won't tell me why he did it that way."
After the foreigner finished speaking, seeing that Yu Sheng didn't say anything but was frowning and deep in thought, he said again, "Miss Yu, may I leave now?"
While pondering why Gu Ye did what he did, Yu Sheng, somewhat annoyed by the foreigner's question, replied, "Fine!"
Fearing that Yu Sheng might change his mind, the foreigner turned and ran out of the room.
Yu Sheng didn't leave; she sat alone in the private room, recalling what the foreigner had just said—
"It was all President Gu who instructed me to do that!"
"Your husband gave me a sum of money to pretend to be Professor Charles's student and act in that play for him!"
If that play was planned by Gu Ye, then her following him to the Yunqi Hotel was part of his whole plan, and a very important part at that!
When did that play begin?
Yu Sheng's thoughts drifted back to three days ago.
That day, her decision to go to Libu was made on the spur of the moment, and only Sheng Ning knew about it. Sheng Ning couldn't possibly betray her, and Gu couldn't possibly have planned everything in advance. Could it be... that he planned it all on the spot? Then why did he plan that play on the spot? And what was his purpose?
Her thoughts were racing in her mind, and she analyzed each problem in detail and meticulously, but she couldn't find the answer at all. Just when her brain was about to explode, the screen of her phone on the table suddenly lit up.
She picked up her phone and received a message from an unfamiliar number starting with 0715. This was the same number that had sent her the message about Gu Ye's infidelity not long ago.
Yu Sheng's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly clicked on it.
Just like the first time, it was a screenshot of a chat.
Honey, for safety's sake, let's not see each other for a while, so she doesn't find out and it affects your relationship.
Below, Gu Ye replied with her profile picture: 【That won't do. Your husband can't be away from you for even a day, especially since he's already taken care of everything!】
Woman: [? ? It's all taken care of? How was it taken care of?]
Gu Ye: [It can't be explained in a few words, let's talk in person.]
Chat date: 21:34 on December 12th
This date and time are exactly the same as the time Gu left after taking her home three nights ago.
Could it be that... his purpose in orchestrating that play was simply to dispel her suspicions that he was cheating on her?
When 0715 first sent her a message, Yu Sheng thought it was a prank, but the events of the past few days made her think differently—Gu Ye might really be cheating on her!
What angered Yu Sheng was not Gu Ye's infidelity, but that Gu Ye had taken advantage of her Xiao Cheng!
Getting in touch with Professor Charles was something she had always dreamed of, so when she learned that he had contacted Professor Charles's student Ethan, all her suspicions about him vanished, and she thanked him and was grateful to him!
The thought that Xiao Cheng, who had been in a coma for ten years, might wake up under Professor Charles's care made her smile even in her dreams.
But now he tells her that it was all just a scam, a play, set up by him to dispel her suspicions that he was cheating!
How could he do that? How could he bear to do that?
He knew perfectly well how important Xiao Cheng was to her!
As long as Xiao Cheng can wake up, she wouldn't hesitate to die even if it meant her death!
But he actually used this to lie to her!
How could he be so cruel?!
She covered her face and burst into tears...
Since Yu Sheng didn't go out, Gao Ming naturally didn't leave either.
He heard crying coming from inside the house and was a little worried. He knocked on the door but no one answered, so he pushed the door open and saw Yu Sheng sobbing on the table. Without asking any questions, he turned around and went to find Shang Yan.
