Translator: 549690339
Mother Ye carefully recalled,
“l believe she currently works in a cafeteria of some company…”
At this point in her sentence, Ye Mengyan suddenly interjected in a soft voice,
“Mom, didn’t aunt mention that we shouldn’t reveal where she is working?”
After speaking, Ye Mengyan smiled at me,
“No offense, it’s just that my aunt works for a secretive institution and asked us not to let it out.’
That’s when Mother Ye realized and hurriedly said,
“Yes, Xiaosong, please don’t overthink it! My niece didn’t tell us exactly where she works, only asked us to keep it a secret and not to ask. It’s not meant to be against you!’
Though quite shocked, I managed to maintain a calm expression.
It seems Wu Jun is craftier than I thought, adept at concealing her traces.
However, I gathered two important pieces of information.
The first is that Wu Jun is still in A City.
The second is that Mother Ye at least has Wu Jun’s contact details.
Having said all this, asking Mother Ye further right now might arouse suspicion.
Alarming her would do more harm than good.
Hence, 1 promptly shifted the topic,
“Aunt Ye, I heard from Mengyan that you are returning to the countryside tomorrow, is it right?”
Mother Ye replied with a smile,
“Yes! For my illness, I need to come to the hospital for dialysis every month!
Once done, I have to head back to the countryside!”
“Why don’t you find a job in the city? This way, you wouldn’t need to travel back and forth strenuously, and could also live with Mengyan and look after each other.’
“Sigh, I’d like to find a job! But I’m illiterate and older now! When I try applying for a housemaid role, people reject me.”
“Auntie, I have a friend who spends most of his time abroad. He’s looking for someone to take care of his villa in his absence. You won’t have to do any heavy work, just need to open the windows every day, trim the plants, and look after pets. The salary will be five thousand a month!”
Mother Ye was intrigued, asking,
“Really? And he wouldn’t reject me?”
“Of course not, you seem very nimble. If you’re willing, I’ll contact him right away, and you could start working the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay, I agree!’
“Great, I’ll call him later and let you know tomorrow.”
“Alright, thank you so much!”
Upon leaving the Maple Mansion, Mother Ye saw me to the gate.
Ye Mengyan didn’t see me off. She was standing at the end of the corridor, talking to Shen Yishu.
I faintly heard a few words:
“In the future, you and your parents should not come here. This isn’t my house. It wouldn’t look good if others saw…”
Shen Yishu apologized cautiously,
“Sorry, it was…my mom who asked us to come here, for the sake of appearances!
“Shen Yishu, have you thought about where we’ll live after we get married?”
“Don’t worry about this. My parents have borrowed money and made a down payment for our marital home…..Mengmeng, the house might not be huge, but we can work hard together.”
“You should have notified me before you came here. Since we’ve broken up, why would you suddenly propose? You’re morally kidnapping me! ”
“Mengmeng, after breaking up, I’ve thought about it for a long time. I can’t lose you! Mengmeng, after we get married, I’ll follow your orders! If you tell me not to interview Gu Yuanzhou, I won’t. Is that okay?”
As I drifted further away, their voices faded.
Half an hour later.
The Zero Point Bar!
I barged into Ding Yinuo’s private room.
Though Ding Yinuo was my arch-nemesis in his past life, I’m well aware of his whereabouts and social circle.
To find this prominent bachelor in A city wasn’t difficult for me.
The group was originally drinking. Upon seeing me, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Pei Zexi nudged Ding Yinuo,
“Hey, your wife is here!”
Ding Yinuo only wore a white shirt, without a tie. He uncorked one button, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple.
With a glass of red wine in one hand, and the other rested on the sofa, he looked at me with half-closed eyes.
Under the dim lights, he exuded an air of lazy sexiness.
Indeed fitting for the school heartthrob of yesteryears!
Nonetheless, when this man looked at me, he didn’t show any excitement.
It was as if I was just a piece of wood to him.
“Cut the talk, someone like her isn’t even worthy of being my girlfriend!”
Ding Yinuo punched Pei Zexi in the chest.
1 took it in my stride and sat down, retorting, “Ah, that’s wonderful. I wouldn’t accept a man like you anyway!’
No sooner had my words fallen, did Ding Yinuo turn and give me a fierce stare. It seemed like he didn’t expect me to look down on him too.
Then, a burst of uproarious laughter from Pei Zexi fills the room. “Ha ha, Ding, you finally got a taste of humiliation?”
Ding Yinuo didn’t bother to respond. Instead, he turned to me,
“Since you don’t fancy me, why did you come looking for me?”
I too, got straight to the point,
“The mother of a friend of mine is in need of a job! I know you have a vacant villa, you can hire her to keep an eye on it. I’ll take care of the salary.”
Ding Yinuo stared at me for about ten seconds,
“l do have a villa, but why should I help you?”
Actually, I knew from the start that Ding Yinuo would reject me.
He shared a commonality with Gu Yuanzhou both were particularly practical.
“In exchange, I can do you a favor!”
Ding Yinuo gave a light laugh,
“You still owe me from last time. Youngster, just stepping out of school, talking big and acting bold! ”
“What I owed you last time, plus I owe you this time, can be traded for something bigger!
Ding Yinuo pondered for a few minutes, then waved his hand,
“Old Pei, take the guys to the golf course and wait for me! I’ll catch up with you in a bit.”
Pei Zexi jokingly said,
“I suggest you book a hotel room, this room isn’t spacious enough for you two!”
Ding Yinuo swore, “Get lost!”
“Alright, alright, we’re off! Miss Song, hope you two have fun!”
Pei Zexi, grinning, picked up his suit jacket and left with the others.
Ding Yinou lit a cigarette, then got up to close and lock the private room door.
He slowly sat back down on the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, looked at me for a few seconds.
Then he took out a small, white, gourd-shaped porcelain bottle from his bag.
He placed it on the table and pushed it towards me.
Not knowing what it was, I was about to open it when he stopped me,
“Don’t open it, it’s poison!”
I immediately put it back on the table.
“What do you mean?”
“I need you to put this poison into Gu Yuanzhou’s drink! It is odorless andasteless!”
Hearing this, a chill ran down my spine.
Turns out, Ding Yinuo intends for me to poison Gu Yuanzhou!
“l don’t indulge in illegal activities. Murder is punishable by death, and I’m not foolish, give me another option!”
“Put it this way, I’m a doctor…l know how to make a person die naturally. If anything happens to you, I’m risking it too.. So, be assured, there won’t be any problem! “
