My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 10

After Ye Mengyan left, my gaze fell onto a pack of mountain ginseng on the table.

It was something Ye Mengyan gave me last time, saying she brought it from her hometown.

Qingcheng…

It’s familiar, seems like I’ve heard it somewhere.

Suddenly, I recalled.

Wu Jun once told me that her hometown was Qingcheng, known for its production of mountain ginseng.

Ye Mengyan is from Qingcheng.

Wu Jun is also from Qingcheng, and their cooking skills are strikingly similar.

Could these two know each other?

But at this time, Ye Mengyan had already left, so I could only take the opportunity to talk to her next time.

Today is Saturday, no need to work.

After finishing my breakfast cum lunch, I tidied up a bit and was planning to meet with Shen Yishu to discuss, to see if he could help me out.

To check on the guest records of the Romantic Hotel. After all, as a journalist, he should have a good network. I want to find out who is the mistress that President Gu is keeping

However, an abrupt ringtone interrupted all my thoughts.

Looking down, Gu Yuanzhou’s number is flashing.

What does he want with me on a weekend?

This is the first time I received a call from him, “Hello, hus…”

An unconscious response almost slipped out of my mouth.

Fortunately, I was quick to react, I stopped before saying the last word.

“Hello … boss! Hi President Gu!”

“Come to the office.”

“Okay.”

Five words, spoken in a deep tone, brief and concise. He hung up before I could respond.

Opening my wardrobe, I wanted to pick out an appropriate outfit.

I spent a long time but found nothing suitable.

Song Xiaoyun’s clothing styles are too youthful, while I prefer a mature and professional look.

After closing the wardrobe, I opened my mobile phone and placed an order for a few outfits in a designer online shop called ‘Damei’.

The owner of this online shop was my former classmate in France, her clothing style is close to my heart,

In the past, I hardly went out shopping for clothes, preferring to shop online with her.

After adding my desired clothes to the shopping cart, I encountered a difficulty when checking out.

For Song Xiaoyun, this clothing, which I considered quite cheap, is still overly expensive.

Her bills are not enough to cover it.

So I silently removed several items from the cart, leaving only one outfit to wear for social occasions.

Now my position is the CEO’s secretary, I can’t wear clothes that are too shabby and cheap. This would make Gu Yuanzhou lose his value.

At this thought, I suddenly remembered the past…

I used to go to great lengths for Gu Yuanzhou like this.

Every time he attended various social events, I was the one to match his outfits, always letting him shine in public.

In fact, Gu Yuanzhou is also a very picky man, only the outfits matched by me are to his liking.

A moment of slight absent-mindedness.

My phone rang again, it turned out to be a text message from the customer service.

“Dear, the outfit you’ve added to cart is in stock, it can be delivered to you tomorrow if it’s a local delivery.”

“Okay, I’ll take it!”

I hurriedly paid for it.

In fact,

Besides clothing, there are also bags, shoes that need to be replaced.

But now I haven’t got much money left.

Let’s wait until I get more money.

An hour later, I arrived at the company.

Inside the vast CEO’s office, only a solitary dark figure remains.

Beyond the hustle and bustle, his silhouette is somewhat lonely.

At this time, my heart would start to turn soft towards this man whom I once loved deeply, especially in the absence of any evidence…

Is he missing us?

Does he love us in his heart?

I couldn’t work him out.

He hid his emotions too well.

When he turned and looked at me, I could see no sadness on his face.

“President Gu, you wanted to see me?”

“Did you go to Golden Bay yesterday?”

“Yes, I checked the site with Lawyer Zhou and also found a professional fire protection company for inspection. The results indicated there’s no issue with the equipment and installation.”

Dissatisfaction was brewing in Gu Yuanzhou’s dark eyes,

“So your answer to me is, this was an accident?”

“There’s a fifty percent chance it was an accident and a fifty percent chance it was man-made.”

After a long contemplation, I gave my conclusion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou sneered,

“You think this is the result I want?”

I knew, Gu Yuanzhou was about to berate someone.

He’s a man who’s extremely demanding in his work.

When he promoted me, naturally he didn’t expect such a useless result.

What he wanted is a social discourse that can be presented externally to propel the company’s progress.

“President Gu, I’m just reporting the facts to you.”

“I don’t need facts! What I need is the company’s share price to soar. Listen, there will be a press conference next week. The company will be launching a new product, I want a different answer from you by then.”

“Okay!”

I steeled myself and agreed. I felt that all the answers lay with Wu Jun.

After thinking for a while, I asked,

“President Gu, I have a private question to ask, may I?”

“Go ahead!”

“According to the clues provided by Lawyer Zhou, you have a maid at home. I think it would be useful to find and question her…”

“No need! She has nothing to do with this.”

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me coldly.

This abrupt reaction left me startled and astonished, increasingly feeling that he seemed to be hiding some unspeakable secret.

Just then, a ringtone sounded from a mobile phone.

This ringtone aroused my vigilance.

Having lived with Gu Yuanzhou for nearly ten years, I was very familiar with his ringtone.

He has two phones.

One for work, one for personal use.

But this ringtone didn’t belong to either of his two phones.

In my moment of surprise, he had already taken out an unfamiliar black phone from his briefcase.

The phone was a rather old model, probably an Apple iPhone 7S from about four years ago…

Obviously, Gu Yuanzhou had already possessed this unknown phone four years ago, and the fact that he was hiding it from me suggested he had some guilty secrets.

For a moment, my mind went blank.

Gu Yuanzhou’s face softened as he answered the call…

“What’s up?”
