My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 381

Chapter 381: Chapter 381 He’s Back
 

Shen Yishu had said so much by now, Ding Yinuo should have understood a bit.

However, to my surprise, he actually said,

“I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done.”

Great!

This also served as severing all the last threads of hope in my heart.

Ding Yinuo got into the car with Ding Ruirui.

Watching little Ding Ruirui wave at me desperately from the car window as her small figure gradually disappeared into the crowd…

My eyes became a bit sore.

All of a sudden, I felt very sentimental.

“Let it be, Xiaoyun. Don’t be upset. There are many people in life who come with a certain fate. When that fate ends, people part ways. Maybe your fate with him has come to an end.”

I fell silent for a while, then nodded in acknowledgment.

But now is really not the time for me to show weakness.

Today the company is reopening, with much to be reinstated, and there are many tasks waiting for me.

I refocused my scattered attention and continued to interact with some of the crowd present.

The opening today can be considered a great success.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended in the daytime, I took the opportunity to treat all the company’s employees to a buffet.

After the event, Wenya and a few other friends insisted on continuing to eat and drink.

When alone, I feel especially lonely, and only when with friends does that sense of solitude lessen a great deal.

I drank a couple more glasses tonight and felt slightly tipsy when I stood up, but I still raised my glass to Wenya,

“Wenya, we’ve been besties for decades. To be honest, if one of us were a different gender, chances are we would’ve been husband and wife. Of course, even now, our friendship is no less than that of spouses. It may sound a bit cheesy to express gratitude, so just this, I appreciate how much you did for me at the opening ceremony today. Here, let’s finish this glass, everything else goes without saying.”

Wenya was stunned for a moment, holding her glass without drinking,

“Wait, all Su Peisheng and I did was send a few flower baskets, that’s hardly much of a contribution, is it?”

“No, the electronic screen, the lion dance, and that inflatable arch, as well as all sorts of delicious food, weren’t they arranged by you through the etiquette company?”

“Huh? Of course, not! I just had Su Peisheng get the flower baskets. Wait, Su Peisheng, did you arrange these activities?”

Su Peisheng denied on the spot,

“No! I just ordered the flower baskets. Didn’t you say to keep it low-profile? Just a simple decoration was enough, right?”

Su Peisheng is a person of candor; I believe whatever he says.

“So if it wasn’t you guys, who arranged the event?”

“Could it possibly be you, Shen Yishu?”

Wenya turned the questioning to Shen Yishu.

Shen Yishu shook his head,

“Not me! Otherwise, when you called me this morning, I wouldn’t even have had time to prepare a flower basket. Although I had that in mind, I found out too late.”

“If it wasn’t you, could it be Jian Yan? That’s impossible, Jian Jing is currently at home looking after the kids. She’s so busy she doesn’t even remember her own name. We didn’t inform her about today’s reopening.”

Wenya said.

If it wasn’t Shen Yishu, and it wasn’t Jian Yan, then who could it be?

“Could it possibly be…”

I thought of someone but immediately dismissed the possibility.

It’s highly unlikely.

That night, with Wenya’s company, I drank to my heart’s content.

This was probably the happiest time I had experienced in a while.

Sometimes it’s good to get drunk, at least my mind is numb, and I don’t have to think about things that get me worked up.

I lay on the couch, my expression somewhat dazed…

“Ayun, you’ve drunk too much. I’ll take you home!”

It was Shen Yishu’s voice trying to help me up, but I pushed him away,

“No, I want Wenya to take me home!”

“Fine, fine, I owe you one, so I’ll take you home now. Su Peisheng, come over and help me get her into the car.”

“Ayun, slow down! Why are you rushing like that, watch the car, be careful… Damn, sorry, master, my best friend’s had too much to drink, it’s okay now, thank you!”

I seemed to see many stars, twinkling in front of me.

I staggered forward, grabbing Wenya’s arm, “Do you know? I saw Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Stop talking nonsense! You’re drunk… Last time I was drunk, I even saw my great-grandfather!”

Wenya opened the car door and helped me sit in, then she said to Su Peisheng, “Drive slowly, will you?”

Su Peisheng asked, “Where are we taking her at this hour?”

“Where else can we take her, let’s go to my place, it’s too late anyway, we’re not going to that cemetery area!”

Wenya talked to me, neck extended, calling Beilu Hill the cemetery area!

“All right, then we’ll go to your place!”

Su Peisheng started the car.

I immediately protested,

“Wenya, I don’t want to go to your house… I have to go to Beilu Hill, that’s my home.”

“Ayun, stop it, that place isn’t fit for living people. If you dislike my house, I can book a hotel room for you.”

“No, no, I want to go home! Stop the car, Su Peisheng, I want to get out!”

Seeing me getting a bit emotional, Wenya reluctantly agreed,

“Fine, fine, my little ancestor, just sit down first, the car is still moving, you don’t want to knock or fall.”

As soon as I stood up, my head hit the car ceiling.

Wenya helped me sit back down and told Su Peisheng to turn the car around.

“Ayun, lie down and sleep for a bit, it’ll only take half an hour to get home.”

I leaned against the car seat, “Wenya, I really saw Gu Yuanzhou.”

I kept muttering…

“You’re drunk, darling!”

“I’m not, just now during the ribbon-cutting, I hadn’t drunk anything, I was clear-headed, it was really him!”

I repeated over and over, asking Wenya,

“Do you think, is it possible that he’s not dead?”

Su Peisheng said, “Executions have a process, there are several checkpoints, with people reviewing and safeguarding, it’s impossible for there to be any mistakes.”

“Really? Su Peisheng, I really dislike you!”

I whispered quietly.

Wenya sighed.

During the half-hour car ride, it seemed that I was jostled all the way. By the time I got home, I had thrown up again.

Wenya helped me into the house, “Otherwise, let me and Su Peisheng stay to take care of you.”

I refused her kindness, “No need, you guys go back! This place is so ghostly, only a ghost like me could stay here. You go back. I want to be alone for a while.”

No matter how Wenya explained, I stubbornly pushed them out the door, then closed it.

I knew this place wasn’t suitable for the living, especially not in the dead of night. Wenya would be scared here, it’s better for the two of them to go back.

They knocked on the door for a while, but when I didn’t respond, they left.

After they left, I lay in bed alone.

Actually, I was quite tired, I closed my eyes and slept for a bit, but suddenly felt very thirsty.

I climbed up by myself again.

Still in a drunken state, the whole house seemed to be swaying as I walked…

I felt that there was someone else in the room!
