My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Chapter 365 What Should I Do with the Rest of My Life _1
“`

It seems I was really too absent-minded.

On the way back, as I sat in the taxi, I looked out at the night through the window and fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Ye said, saving Gu Yuanzhou was something that happened twenty years ago.

By that logic, Gu Yuanzhou was only in his teens at the time…

Why would a child in his teens be slashed all over and run desperately through the snowy night?

What kind of grudge, what kind of hatred could this be?

I felt very conflicted inside.

One voice told me not to meddle in Gu Yuanzhou’s affairs.

Yet another voice urged me to clear up all these matters.

After all, he was the man I had been married to for over ten years; I couldn’t remain ignorant of his background even after his death.

I returned to Xishan Residence.

At the gate, from a distance, I could see two figures moving about.

Only when I got closer did I see clearly that they were Wenya and Su Peisheng, standing very close together—in fact, from afar, they looked like one person.

The two were chatting about something, both with smiles brimming on their faces.

Their smiles had a sweetness to them.

“Ahem, aren’t you two a bit inconsiderate, spreading dog food like this in the dead of night? Shouldn’t you think about those with broken hearts?”

As soon as I said this, Wenya turned around and walked briskly towards me.

“Where have you been?”

“Eh, just wandering around outside! Did you two need me for something?”

“No, no, we just missed you and wanted to keep you company, is that not okay?”

“Let’s go inside!”

I used my keys to open the door.

After entering, Wenya looked around.

Though she didn’t say it, I could tell she was searching for the figure of Ding Yinuo.

Not finding Ding Yinuo, she didn’t ask me about it.

Instead, she sat down and started ordering takeout on her phone.

Su Peisheng sat on the sofa and said to me, “You know about Song Shixiong being detained, right?”

“Not really, I haven’t been following the Song family’s affairs recently.”

“Hmm, the case is still under trial… It actually has attracted a lot of attention. What’s your take on it?”

“If he really did it, I hope he faces the law!”

I was actually quite speechless.

The person I had respected for over twenty years turned out to be such a monster.

Thinking about how Wu Lijuan and both his sons had broken off ties with him, it was clear just how terrible his character was.

Shortly after, the doorbell rang, and Wenya got up to open the door, cheerfully calling out,

“The good stuff is here, barbecue!”

Wenya had ordered a load of barbecue food…

And beer.

She opened a can of beer and handed it to me,

“If you’re feeling down, drink a little more! Cheer up, it’s really not the end of the world.”

I chuckled lightly and asked her,

“What are you talking about? Why should I be feeling down?”

Before Wenya could speak, Su Peisheng beat her to it,

“We just saw Ding Yinuo together with Jiang Jiaying… Wenya was worried you’d be upset. Actually…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Wenya immediately covered his mouth,

“Can’t you speak properly? If you can’t talk properly, then don’t talk at all!”

Looking at them like that, they must know some of the details already.

Wenya just came in, looking around, probably to see if Ding Yinuo’s clothes had been moved here.

“Enough, both of you! No need to hide anything now, it’s not a surprise that he went to the movies with Jiang Jiaying.”

“Uh, you know about that?”

Wenya asked again.

I took a sip of beer from the can,

“I’m not blind, you can’t hide matters of the heart, there are always traces to be found.”

Wenya sighed, then kicked Su Peisheng in the leg,

“You scumbag, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Su Peisheng was eating kebabs, confused by the kick,

“Yaya, I’m not a scumbag! What do you want me to say, huh?”

“Bullshit! Just look at how much Ayun put into Ding Yinuo, and in the end, once things got better with him, he goes and gets back together with his ex-girlfriend. If that’s not a scumbag, what is?”

Su Peisheng wiped his mouth with a napkin,

“You can’t just say that! There must be some misunderstanding. Based on my understanding of President Ding, he’s not the type to abandon someone after getting what he wants. I might believe it if it were someone else, but Ding Yinuo, really, he’s been my buddy since we were kids, we’ve grown up together, he wouldn’t change his heart.”

“What a load of crap… Last time Jiang Jiaying came to pick up his clothes and luggage, plus all those days in the United States without even a single phone call, that says a lot.”

“Eh, I still stand by my position, there’s got to be some misunderstanding. I still believe in Ding Yinuo’s character.”

“Su Peisheng, what’s this called, seeing things through a filter? That’s right, just because Ding Yinuo is your buddy, you see him in a better light. Now I’m asking you, if you have to take sides, will you choose me, or will you choose Ding Yinuo?”

Wenya was getting angry, insisting that Su Peisheng take a side.

Su Peisheng spread his hands in a helpless defense.

“My dear, it’s not about taking sides. One is a good brother, the other is a girlfriend. You both have different places in my life, how can I take sides?”

“It’s not acceptable, today you have to take a stand, it’s either me or him…”

“You’re really putting me in a tough spot, honey. Can’t we be rational, stop fighting?”

Su Peisheng was at a loss for words.

Wenya’s temper flared up, she stood up, snatched the kebabs from Su Peisheng’s hands, and pushed him towards the door.

“Alright, enough, you’re still eating mine… and you even take the scumbag’s side, let’s just end our friendship.”

“Hey, Yaya, listen to me explain!”

Su Peisheng was forcibly pushed to the door by Wenya.

I watched him with a smile, “The so-called top debater of A City, Su the lawyer, how come you can’t even defend yourself?”

Su Peisheng spread his hands, “The key issue is that this judge is unreasonable! She’s making a scene, and if I say something wrong, she seeks revenge!”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Come on, Wenya… just let him go! This is Ding Yinuo’s personal issue, what’s it got to do with Su Peisheng? The sins of the friend should not affect the other, let alone he’s just a friend. Forget it.”

I played the peacemaker, and only then did Wenya agree to let Su Peisheng off, “Hmph, for Ayun’s sake, I won’t hold it against you today. But from now on, you’re not allowed to mention that scumbag in front of us.”

“Hey, stop calling him a scumbag… he’s not a scumbag…”

“You still want to argue, huh?”

“Alright, alright, I’m wrong, please spare me, Your Honor. I just won’t mention him next time.”

“That’s more like it, sit down!”

I must say, having these two friends around really helped me relax a lot.

Wenya then asked me, “So, what are you planning to do next?”

After thinking it over, I decided to tell her,

“I actually went to see Ye Mengyan’s mother just now and learned some things.”

Next, I told Wenya everything I had learned from Mengyan’s mother.

After listening, Wenya fell silent, “So… you’re saying that you misunderstood Gu Yuanzhou? He never loved Ye Mengyan and was nice to her purely to repay a debt of gratitude?”

I was silent for a while, “What I want to know more is, what exactly happened twenty years ago!”
