Gu Yuanzhou walked towards the lounge with his phone, seeming uninterested in letting me hear his conversation.
My phone rang too. Picking it up, I found it was a text message from a reporter.
“Sister Song, I’ve found out who was in Room 66 at the Romantic Hotel.”
“What’s the situation!”
“It’s a bit complicated. Room 66 is rented out long-term by Gu Yuanzhou. He comes here at a fixed time every month.”
“Do you know the woman’s name?”
“Not at the moment, but I’ve found out some other information. Let’s meet to talk about it!”
“Alright!
After I hung up, Gu Yuanzhou also came out.
He handed me a list.
“You go purchase these.”
I took the paper and looked at it. All of it was home appliances, water heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, and the like.
“President Gu, are there any other requirements?”
“Buy according to your judgment.”
“Alright, got it.”
I had just reached the door when he called me back.
“Forget about it, deal with these in the afternoon. Come with me somewhere in a bit.’
Looking at these appliances, the categories were complete. It seemed like a new house was about to be furnished…
Normally Gu Yuanzhou would have a chauffeur, but today he drove himself.
Perhaps out of habit, I instinctively opened the passenger seat. Just as I was about to sit down…
Gu Yuanzhou stopped me,
“Sit in the back!”
Three words, firm and cold!
I then snapped back to reality.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m used to it! I apologize, 1 apologize!’
I quickly closed the car door and moved to the back seat.
Gu Yuanzhou remained silent and started the car.
This was the first time since being reborn that I was alone with Gu Yuanzhou in an enclosed space.
The atmosphere was very oppressive.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say a word, his face was stern.
In fact, in the eyes of other employees, Gu Yuanzhou was a cold and distant person.
He was undoubtedly hard to approach.
As for why he didn’t let me sit in the front, 1 never figured out why.
One hour later.
In a remote suburb, the car slowly stopped at the foot of a hill.
At the entrance of a complex, a man in a suit and tie stood. When he saw Gu Yuanzhou, he quickly bowed and smiled.
“President Gu, hello!”
“Is the house ready?”
“Definitely meets your requirements, a prime feng Shui location chosen by a
Hong Kong master…”
At this moment, I realized that this man was a real estate agent, here to show Gu Yuanzhou a house.
Putting together the details of him asking me to buy appliances, I realized he was buying a new home.
His wife and child had just died, and he was already eager to build a new home?
To verify my thoughts, I opened the list he gave me again. I noticed it contained some women’s appliances, like a Dyson hair dryer.
Indeed, he was buying a house for a woman.
The location for the house was indeed excellent.
Surrounded by green hills and fresh air, with a vast sea of flowers in the distance.
Apart from being too far from the city and not convenient for commuting, there were no other faults.
Of course, a woman kept by Gu Yuanzhou, a man worth tens of billions, naturally wouldn’t have to work.
Her main concern would likely be exposure by the media, so a scenic and secluded location is better.
As the agent was showing Gu Yuanzhou around, I also took the opportunity to survey the surrounding environment.
A standalone villa, with no neighbors.
Upon careful observation of the direction, I found that the house was actually in a shaded position, due to a hill blocking it, sunlight could not reach the doorway.
Living here without sunlight would certainly be a little uncomfortable.
So I found the real estate agent and expressed my doubts.
The agent chuckled and patted me on the shoulder,
“Little girl, you don’t understand! This is exactly what your boss wants.” At this time, Gu Yuanzhou was standing in front of the living room window, gazing at the backyard. I stood not far behind him with the agent.
I presume he also heard our conversation, but he didn’t voice any objections. It seems… that is indeed what he requested.
The house was newly built. The hard construction part was done; now, it only needs appliances and furniture to be habitable.
During the house inspection, Gu Yuanzhou remained silent, not uttering a single word.
Even the real estate agent was surprisingly tactful, remaining silent most of the time, except for the occasional comments about the fengshui.
Visiting the house in such a suppressed atmosphere left a deep impression.
“What do you think, President Gu?”
Gu Yuanzhou took a quiet drag from his cigarette, taking his time before he finally answered,
“She should like it!”
“If President Gu is satisfied, please sign this contract…”
The realtor promptly handed over the contract without protest. Gu Yuanzhou took the pen and casually signed his name.
“For post-acquisition matters, coordinate with him. Alright, you may leave now.”
Despite purchasing the new house, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t seem to be in high spirits.
He brought me here to handle the subsequent issues related to the new property.
I took the realtor’s car to leave, while he stayed behind.
Far into the drive, I took a look back.
Gu Yuanzhou had his phone out, talking to someone over a call on that black phone, whose number I did not know.
Must be his mistress!
Was he calling to tell her to come and visit the house?
As I got off, the agent clucked his tongue,
“l never thought President Gu would be such a devoted man.”
I casually retorted,
“How do you determine he’s devoted when you don’t even know who he’s buying it for?”
“l think I know. It’s for his wife!”
The realtor’s words took me by surprise…
1 didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to so quickly announce to the world that she’s his wife.
I chuckled in derision before pushing the car door open and getting off.
At half-past five in the afternoon, 1 met Shen Yishu at a small coffee shop.
He is a journalist at Polar Media. He was the one who wrote the news about Gu Yuanzhou killing his wife for insurance money.
He is a very brave and creative young man. I sent him to the hospital and paid for his medical bills after he was previously beaten by the security guards. Since then, we became friends. His special status as a journalist facilitated access to information out of the everyday person’s reach.
He was wearing a plaid shirt and faded jeans. Quite likely, he had taken a shower before meeting me. His hair was still wet, and a soapy fragrance emanated from him.
That’s the advantage of youth. Even with a simple get-up, he seemed fresh and energetic.
Compared to him, I seemed much more world-weary.
Even inside Song Xiaoyun’s youthful body, my eyes hid a thirty-year-old woman’s sorrow. “Hello Sister Song!’
He waved at me.
“Hello, two coconut lattes please!”
I was about to pay, but he quickly stepped up.
“I’ll get this!”
I glanced at the price – nine ninety-nine special offer… Fine, let him pay, young men often have a strong ego. He brought the coffees over to me.
“Thank you!’
“Sister Song, I should transfer that medical bill to you!!
“No need, it wasn’t a big deal.”
“It’s fine, 1 got paid!’
Though it was only a hundred bucks, Shen Yishu was adamant. So I did not refuse.
“So, they decided to keep you?”
“Ah, no… It’s another boss who pays me! But, that’s okay! As long as I have the money, I can go after my dreams.”
Shen Yishu seemed excited. He had been covering a lot of headline news recently.
Sitting next to me, he pointed out the news he had been chasing.
Although I’m not a journalist, I can see that this young man has talent and potential.
He grasps the situation very well and isn’t afraid to take on challenges.
“You are very talented!
My praise made Shen Yishu blush.
Likewise, we touched upon the topic of the Romantic Hotel…
“To be honest, I didn’t stop investigating Gu Yuanzhou recently. I have found a lead that 1 mentioned over the phone. Gu Yuanzhou often checks into the
Romantic Hotel..
