Chapter 132 Can't you be kind just this once?
Mo Yiyan smiled deeply: "Gu Heng, as an illegitimate child, had no choice."
I sneered.
"I'll leave this place to you." Mo Yiyan left.
I rushed into the room immediately.
My mother is lying in bed, and someone is taking care of her.
Everyone in the villa was injured tonight; only Mo Yiyan's men remained.
I don't really trust him either.
He called Xia Zhe, and Xia immediately sent more people.
“Mom.” I walked over.
"Mr. Han was frightened, but he'll be fine after a night's rest," the bodyguard explained.
"Hmm." I nodded, then took her pulse to make sure she had no other problems before I breathed a sigh of relief.
I stood up: "I'll leave this to you. I'm going to check on Shen Xingyuan."
“Yes, Professor Shen,” the bodyguard replied.
I went to Shen Xingyuan's room.
He was still awake. When he saw me, he said with a playful expression, "It seems the security at this villa isn't very tight."
"I received the notification the moment the power went out here," I said. "Otherwise, how could I have gotten back so quickly?"
“Mo Yiyan should have told you that the person belongs to the Mo family,” Shen Xingyuan said.
"Sister Lan said you wouldn't let me call the police, so who are your enemies?" I raised an eyebrow.
Shen Xingyuan knew I was testing him, and he sneered, "You're a doctor, why are you prying into my privacy?"
"I just want to know who arranged that sniper." I glanced at Shen Xingyuan.
“If I arranged that person, Mo Yiyan wouldn’t be unaware of it.” Shen Xingyuan looked at me with a half-smile.
I scoffed, "You're a ticking time bomb. Regardless of whether tonight's events have anything to do with you, I'm sorry, I absolutely will not treat you."
Shen Xingyuan smiled and said, "You'll change your mind."
"Ridiculous, no one has ever forced me to change my mind." I scoffed.
Who does he think he is?
The next second.
My phone rang.
I picked up my phone and saw it was Gu Heng.
He's really haunting me, even in the middle of the night.
"Hello?" I asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Shen Yan, you're really starting to impress me more and more," he said sarcastically.
I retorted sarcastically, "You too, you're making me look down on you more and more!"
Gu Heng snorted coldly: "Come to Gu's Group tomorrow, and I've decided to withdraw from this cooperation."
I was taken aback: "Why?"
Is there such a good thing?
“I don’t need to tell you everything.” He hung up the phone.
I'm happy, so I put down my phone.
Shen Xingyuan smiled and said, "It seems Gu Heng wants to terminate his contract with you."
"How did you know?" I asked, puzzled.
"So you're still going to kick me out?" He looked at me with a half-smile.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" I asked, surprised. "Who exactly are you?"
Shen Xingyuan closed his eyes: "It's too late, I'm tired."
I laughed in exasperation: "You've done me a huge favor, so I'll continue treating you."
Shen Xingyuan remained silent.
I walked out of the room.
In the living room, Huo Yubai was still sitting on the sofa.
"It's so late, aren't you going home yet?" I walked over and said, "You can't stay up so late."
"I'll stay here tonight." He was worried.
“It’s all in the past,” I said. “They can’t do it again.”
"Do you have family members at home?" Huo Yubai had wanted to ask this for a long time.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Is it something I can't know?" He looked at me with deep, dark eyes.
"What do you want to know?" I asked, looking at him.
"Man or woman?" He looked at me cautiously.
“A man,” I replied.
He frowned: "The old one?"
Shen Xingyuan isn't that old, is he?
I shook my head.
“Young?” he looked at me.
I shook my head again.
"Is he middle-aged?" he frowned.
"Hmm," I said, "He's a bit older, but he's quite handsome."
He snorted, "Getting old is getting old. No matter how handsome you are, you're still getting on in years."
"You can tell if someone is handsome even when they're old." I was speechless: "You'll get old too."
“You’ll be old by then,” he reminded me.
I laughed angrily: "So what if I'm old? Am I going to stare at people of all ages? I'll still like looking at young people then too."
“But I liked older men back then,” he muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" I frowned.
"It's nothing." He pursed his lips.
"You should go back and rest, I'm going to sleep." I said, yawning.
"If anything else happens, just call me. I live nearby and can get over as quickly as possible," he instructed.
"Okay." I nodded.
Huo Yubai then left.
After he left.
About ten minutes passed.
The lights on the second floor of the villa not far away had just come on.
His bedroom faces my villa.
I saw a figure hover on the balcony for a moment before going inside.
So much happened tonight, I just can't sleep. What I'm most curious about is that sniper.
Who is he?
-
The next day.
I went to the Gu Group to see Gu Heng.
He looked unwell.
I sat down with a smile. "I really didn't expect our collaboration to be so short."
"Wasn't it you who did this?" Gu Heng looked at me in disbelief.
"Whatever you think is true, is true," I said with a half-smile.
"Do you know that the chairman of Meihe Group is over sixty years old?" Gu Heng said coldly, "He could be your grandfather!"
I was taken aback.
Meihe Group is a well-known domestic enterprise and one of the world's top 500 companies.
However, I have no dealings with this company.
It's truly mysterious that Shen Xingyuan knows their chairman and can even persuade him to put pressure on Gu Heng.
"The chairman of Meihe said you are the most important person to him. What exactly is your relationship?" Gu Heng suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me over: "Shen Yan, how did you fall so low?"
I know he never thought that I got to where I am today because of my own efforts, but because of sleeping around.
“Yeah, I’d rather serve an old man than serve you.” I scoffed. “At least Mei and the old man are in charge. In the Gu Group, you’re just a giant baby. If your father doesn’t let you do something, you don’t dare to do it. What’s there to be proud of?”
Gu Heng's dark eyes narrowed, and he threw me onto the sofa.
Just as I was about to get up, he pressed down on me, pinning my knee with one leg, making it impossible for me to move.
He looked down at me, his voice hoarse: "What heinous thing have I done to make you hate me so much, Shen Yan? It's been five years, haven't you gotten over it yet?"
I sneered, "Have you lost your memory? I'll never forget the things you've done, no matter who else has forgotten them."
More importantly, I was reborn.
I saw his true colors in my past life, and he actually dared to think that I could have any good feelings towards him.
It's ridiculous.
"Shen Yan, I've already explained," Gu Heng said in a hoarse voice. "I've explained that I like you, but with my aunt around, there's nothing I can do. Liu Shengyan is my cousin. She's been pitiful since she was little and can't openly call Shen Yuan 'Dad.' But you're different. Your mother loves you so much. Can't you be kind just this once?"
