She considered it her good fortune to be her assistant.
Unfortunately, after all this time, she had not been able to understand this woman fully, nor help her effectively!
She thought of the words her mother always told her, âMs. Guan is our savior, she saved my life. We must remember this kindness for a lifetimeâ¦â
Wei Qinglianâs eyes were moist. Indeed, they would remember it for a lifetime!
⦠⦠⦠⦠⦠⦠⦠â¦
In the room, Guan La rubbed her forehead once more, trying to calm herself down.
It wasnât intentional to mislead Nanxi with her words. Itâs just that her future canât involve Gui Xi anymore. More than three years ago, she chose to cut ties. This time, she cannot soften her heart!
Returning to her desk, she opened the file in her hand, attempting to quiet her mind and get back to work!
Her phone rang just then. Squinting at the number, her eyes flashed a hint of fear as she swiftly ended the call!
Regrettably, two seconds after the call ended, her phone rang again. Biting her lip, she answered, suppressing her anger, âChen Ye, let me repeat this one more time. I wonât remarry you, just let it go!â
A faint chuckle came from the other end. He was both mocking and cunning. âLala, donât be so fierce. We were once husband and wife! Youâre always like this, Iâll lose heart someday!â
âChen Ye, you know very well why I married you in the first place. Speaking of this now, donât you find yourself ridiculous?â
âYes, it is quite funny. But how was I to know that youâd marry me for convenience? So Lala, it was you who deceived me first. Now youâre blaming me. Who should I settle the score with?â He sneered, âBesides, can you honestly say you didnât use me?â
Guan La bit her lip, a taste of blood permeating her mouth. Her fingertips dug into the palm of her hand, rendering her speechless!
âItâs a pity that both of us achieved nothing. I was tricked by you and you were deceived by that woman. Hehe!â
âChen Ye, youâ¦â
âButâ¦â The man interrupted her, his voice tinged with a sigh. âBut, Lala, I donât care about those things anymore. Who can help it? Iâm in love with you!â
âThree years have passed, Iâve been with many women, but I always look to see your shadow in them. I feel like Iâm going mad. I wanted to hate you before, but I donât want to now. Whether you believe it or not, I want to be good to you. I genuinely want to remarry you.â
âImpossible!â Guan La shouted. âBased on the despicable things you did to me back then, itâs not possible for us. Chen Ye, stop pushing me. I donât want to fight with you!â
âYou donât want us to be at odds? Then what do you want? Lala, weâre not young anymore, thereâs no time left for us to waste. Doudou is already almost three years old, sheâs not yet grown up. Thereâs still time now, but when she really grows up, you and I both know the character flaws of a single-parent child. Do you want her to end up like you?â
âSo what if she ends up like me? Iâm doing just fine! Doudou will do really well in the future! So Chen Ye, save yourself the effort. It will never be possible between us. Iâm not going to remarry you!â
âOh~~â The manâs voice dropped for a moment, âThen, I hope you donât blame me for not being sentimentalâ¦â
Guan La chuckled coldly, âWhen have we ever been sentimental as husband and wife?â
âReally?â The man chuckled lightly, âThen letâs squander time slowly in the future. After all, I have plenty of time! Oh right, that girl named Gu Nanxi, sheâs your friend huh! Kind reminder, I just saw her being led into a hotel by a strange man. The situation probably doesnât look good right nowâ¦â
Guan Laâs brow twitched at the pain of this news. She heard the man saying, âIâll be waiting for you in room 813 at the Four Seasons Hotel. Iâve calculated the time, youâll need twenty minutes to drive here. Iâm generously giving you half an hour. If you donât show up, your friendâ¦â
âChen Ye, you dare!â Guan La screamed. âChen Ye, listen to me, if you dare lay a hand on her, youâll meet a gruesome end! Do you know who she is? Do you know she is Luâ¦â
âBeep~~â The other party hung up.
â¦Cutting off Guan Laâs words!
â¦
When Nanxi woke up, her head was groggy. She squinted, finding the surrounding environment unfamiliar as if she was lying on the bed.
She was stunned and quickly sat up, scanning the room.
It was a room that resembled a hotel. How did she end up in a hotel? Who brought her here?
She tried to find her backpack, but it was nowhere to be found. What happened?
She remembered that earlier, she had met Guan Laâs ex-husband at the entrance of KING Group. He asked her if she was a friend of Guan La, and she confirmed it!
He opened the passenger door and asked her to get in, saying that he had some important things to tell Guan La, but Guan La refused to see it him or listen to him. He hoped that Nanxi could relay the message!
Nanxi hesitated, she did not know this man. For her, he was a stranger, so she shouldnât get in his car!
However, she thought, this was Guan Laâs ex-husband. Maybe she could find out something from him? Perhaps it could help Gui Xi and Guan La!
Although, she did not really have a good impression of him!
But he couldnât possibly do her harm broad daylight!
Then, she got into his car, and he took her to a hotel, saying he had a friend waiting there and asked her to wait a moment!
Without much thought, Nanxi agreed and began waiting in the lobby.
Feeling bored, she started playing on her phone, sending Lu Yinchu a message, saying she was doing her best to ensure that Gui Xi and Guan La could get back together.
A receptionist came over and offered her a glass of water. Thinking it was a friendly gesture, she accepted it with a smile and drank it!
