Translator: 549690339

At the moment, Ding Yinuo’s face was slightly red, his dark mire seemed to contain a hint of shame and irritation, as if I had pryed into his private affairs.

But I clearly hadn’t.

I was still in utter confusion, asking him persistently what had happened.

“Ding Yinuo, I swear to God, I never peeked while you were taking a shower.”

“And another thing, what do you mean a ‘small bird’? What are you talking about? Can you explain it clearly?”

Ding Yinuo clenched his teeth, glaring at me, his chest almost pinning me against the wall.

He grabbed my collar, staring at me ferociously as if he’s about to devour me, but after a few minutes, he finally let go of me.

Then he quickly regained his composure,

“Fine, go wash up and have breakfast! I’ll drive you to work later.”

“What was that about a bird just now? Ding Yinuo, have you started raising birds? What kind of bird?”

If I do not understand, I inquire.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo once again showed his teeth towards me…

But soon he tried to dismiss it all.

“Don’t bring it up again, forget what I said!”

The attitude of Ding Yinuo seemed a little subtle, but I failed to grasp its profundity at the moment.

Moreover, this topic was not of my interest, hence I dropped it without further contemplation.

After getting ready, Ding Yinuo drove me to work.

In the car, I took out my phone to scroll through the news, checking if there was anything special happening today.

Yet everything was calm.

There was no sensational news online about the arrest of the actual culprit behind the Golden Bay fire.

It seemed that things were not progressing as I had imagined.

After the car came to a halt, Ding Yinuo glanced at me,”Be careful these few days!”

I was unaware of what he meant by these words at the time.

It was only when I entered the company that I realized what was going on.

Annie walked over to me with a breezy smile, waving her hand,”Hello, good morning, Song Xiaoyun!”

From her triumphant expression, I could tell she must have gained some advantage.

I glanced at her flatly, heading toward the office while Annie’s somewhat exaggerated voice sounded behind me.

“About the matter with President Gu last night, let me tell you, it was me who settled everything. He returned home last night. With me around, everyone has nothing to worry about.”

“Wow, Annie, you’re so powerful, do you have connections up there?”

“Of course, my third uncle is the director, so I have to take care of these relations.”

“Hehe, it seems that you’re much better than assistant Song. In the future, you might take her position, right?”

“Well, let me tell you. The reason President Gu promoted her is solely because she used to curry favor and had a good relationship with Mrs. Gu. You all saw it, every time Mrs. Gu comes to the company, she orders milk tea and takeout, nearly sticking her face to hers. President Gu is generous, he merely gave her face for Mrs. Gu’s sake. As for competence, what could she possibly have?”

All kinds of sarcastic mockery filled the air.

In fact, I was not far away.

The reason Annie dared to belittle me so audaciously was undoubtedly because Gu Yuanzhou granted her enough courage.

Gu Yuanzhou got bailed out?

In the slight moment of confusion, I had already entered the president’s office.

Lifting my head, I saw a man in a black suit sitting like a king in morning light, full of majesty.

Ah, released so soon?

At this moment, I finally understood the warning Ding Yinuo gave me when I got off the car.

All the anger from last night had gradually subsided under Ding Yinuo’s soothing.

I knew that if I behaved like other women at this moment, creating a scene or hurling harsh words, it would be of no use to me, nor would it hurt Gu Yuanzhou at all.

All I could do was to keep calm, figure out the situation first, and then plan for revenge step by step.

Gu Yuanzhou was on the phone with Lawyer Zhou Chenming…

“You coordinate with the police and make sure there are no loopholes. Furthermore, don’t let the media know about these issues. Otherwise, they will exploit the situation. The secrecy must be absolute.”

I stood quietly in a corner, waiting for Gu Yuanzhou to finish his call.

After a while, he hung up, then noticed the coffee I had poured for him.

“Oh, you…”

Gu Yuanzhou held a document, initially intending to hand it to me.

But abruptly, he hesitated for a few seconds, then instructed me,

“Call Annie over here!”

“Okay!”

I clearly felt that ever since Gu Yuanzhou was bailed out this time, he seemed to trust Annie even more.

After I called Annie to his office, he delegated some work to her.

Among those tasks, some were originally my responsibilities.

Did he suspect something?

Or did Ye Mengyan say something to him?

I couldn’t figure it out.

In the following few days, everyone in the company was laying low, not knowing who might have blown the whistle…

There were a few instances in the break room where I overheard colleagues discussing about the Golden Bay arson case, suspecting Gu Yuanzhou as the prime suspect.

This was also the reason why he was taken away by the police for questioning that night.

Rumors are like creatures with wings, they spread rapidly. Soon, it seemed that many people were aware of this.

And Gu Yuanzhou seemed to have distanced himself from me a bit.

He assigned all the work to Annie.

At first it was a small part, then it became a considerable part…

In the end, when I arrived at the company, there was nothing for me to do the entire day. Watching Annie busying herself, I started to suspect if Gu Yuanzhou was targeting me.

Therefore, after work one Friday, I sought out Gu Yuanzhou.

“President Gu, did I do something wrong? Is it a problem with my work capability or something else?”

Gu Yuanzhou, this kind of man, is very cunning and very deep. When he doesn’t speak, you can’t guess what he’s thinking.

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t answer me. After putting down his work, he walked over to me with his hands on his back.

“What’s your opinion on the Golden Bay arson case?”

“Well… Let’s wait for the police announcement!”

I had no clue what he intended to do. Was it a test?

I dared not take a stand too hastily.

“Do you think I did it?”

“President Gu, I’ve only heard some rumors saying that you had hired a nanny, and then the nanny pointed the finger at you!”

“Do you believe it?”

Facing his persistent inquiry, I answered truthfully, “President Gu, I’m not sure about that.”

With a slam on the desk, Gu Yuanzhou angrily said to me, “You’ve been with me for so long, based on your understanding of me, what kind of person do you think I am?”

“I don’t know, President Gu, I am unable to answer that.”

“If I were the real culprit, why didn’t the police lock me up?”

He asked me again.

I shook my head, “I don’t know!!”

“You don’t know but you’re spreading rumors about me all over the company?”

The comments from Gu Yuanzhou truly surprised me. I had not spread any rumors about him in company at all.
