My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 47: 47 Drunk and Blacked Out_l

I did drink too much, indeed!

The boss kept urging me to drink while he was signing the contract.

Normally, 1 could handle my liquor, but I couldn’t resist when he persistently cajoled me into drinking four more rounds.

Red wine, not very strong, but it can get you intoxicated if you have too much.

As the saying goes, in vino veritas.

When you’re drunk, sometimes what you say is out of control.

Didn’t he promise to protect the innocent Ye Mengyan earlier tonight?

Now it’s clear that some unscrupulous deeds needed me to do.

Yet, after I had done it, he turned around and lectured me with virtuous demeanor like a hypocrite.

Huh, what right does a man who keeps a college girl as a mistress have to talk about right and wrong in front of me?

I was truly drunk now.

I kept muttering a lot.

Things I should’ve said and shouldn’t have said all came out in one go.

Perhaps, after coming back to life, I had finally let out all my grievances in one go.

At that moment, 1 was not conscious of anything.

I don’t even remember when Gu Yuanzhou took me home.

By the time I regained my consciousness, it was the next morning.

1 was woken up by the alarm clock at seven in the morning.

I sat on the bed hugging my pillow, staring blankly at the empty room.

Turning my head, I saw my high heels and dress carelessly thrown on the sofa, I couldn’t remember when Gu Yuanzhou left or how I took off that dress.

I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, the person in the mirror had messy hair.

I turned on the shower and hung it on the wall. While taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I tried hard to recall what I had said last night.

But it seemed as if 1 had lost my memory due to the amount I had drunk, and I couldn’t remember anything at all.

After tidying up, I hurried to the company.

The morning was quite busy. I was caught up with a pile of documents and couldn’t leave.

It wasn’t until around ten o’clock that I encountered Gu Yuanzhou when I went to the finance room to get the file stamped.

The man in the suit possessed a natural air of authority; he appeared calm, as if last night hadn’t affected our relationship at all.

But before he turned around, he said,

“Come to my office!”

A few minutes later, 1 nervously entered his office,

He was reviewing contracts behind his desk.

Seeing me entering, he pushed a red envelope over the table.

I was taken aback, a red envelope?

Is he trying to pay me off and fire me?

“President Gu, did I do something wrong?”

“Huh?”

“If not, why would you want to hire me?” “Did I say I was firing you?” “So… this red envelope … it’s not for me?”

Gu Yuanzhou glared at me,

“Of course not, the boss of the Maiqian company next door’s father passed away. Go get some wreaths and have someone send them.”

1 breathed a sigh of relief,

“President Gu, this kind of thing can be done with the company account. You don’t have to pay for it!”

“We are friends outside of work!”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”

I didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to be so clear about the distinction between public and private matters.

As I was leaving with the red envelope, Gu Yuanzhou called out to me, “Wait!”

I turned back.

“Do you need anything else, President Gu?”

“Make me a cup of coffee!”

As I turned to make coffee, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Gu Yuanzhou put down his work and was watching me intently.

His gaze was observant.

1 served him the coffee, He didn’t drink it immediately but kept watching me.

I suddenly felt that something was off.

“President Gu, did I say something inappropriate last night that offended

He was candid, “Yes!”

“Which one? Sorry, I was so drunk last night that I can’t remember.”

Gu Yuanzhou stared at me for quite some time,

“More than one!”

“What did I say?”

“You said I have a twisted moral compass, keep a college girl as a mistress, less than an animal, I betrayed my wife and children, and deserve to go to hell

He went off listing a series of things.

My face turned pale instantly, had I really said that much?

“I apologize, President Gu! I apologize to you!’

Gu Yuanzhou waved his hand, “There’s one thing I have to make clear to you; there’s no such thing as a mistress relationship between Ye Mengyan and me,” “Isn’t Miss Ye… your… woman?”

“To me, she is indeed very important! And this relationship will not dissipate because of any external force…” “But she said she was getting married!”

“l won’t let her marry a poor guy!’

Gu Yuanzhou took out a bunch of pictures from the drawer and threw it on the table,

“I’ve done my investigation. It’s that poor journalist, the boy who has been harassing me. How could Mengyan marry him?”

It was then that I knew that Gu Yuanzhou had someone investigating Shen Yishu after Ye Mengyan had mentioned wanting to get married.

Obviously, he cared a great deal about Ye Mengyan.

The ‘poor boy’ he referred to was a clear display of his discontent towards

Shen Yishu.

“President Gu, if she’s not your woman, you have no right to prevent her from getting married, right?”

“You don’t understand! The relationship between a man and a woman is not as simple as a physical one.”

He refused to admit to having any sort of relationship with Ye Mengyan.

In my perspective, he was just evading me, If he and Ye Mengyan are not related by blood and aren’t long-lost siblings, how is it possible that they’ve maintained their relationship for so many years without any physical intimacy?

At this point, I did not believe a word he said—not a single word. He didn’t continue the discussion on this topic but changed it instead,

“Which high school did you go to?”

This question stumped me. I had no idea which high school Song Xiaoyun attended!

I mentioned a random high school but Gu Yuanzhou didn’t ask any further and just let me go to do my job.

Afterward, I went to buy some wreaths. Even though Gu Yuanzhou suggested that I assign the task of delivery to someone else, I decided to do it myself.

After all, the last place Ye’s mother went to was a crematorium, and I could use this opportunity to find Wu Jun.

On the way to the crematorium, Gu Yuanzhou’s question popped back into my head.

Why did he suddenly ask about my high school?

Did I say something last night that made him suspect my identity, he was testing me? The more 1 thought about it, the more it felt wrong.

Soon, I reached the funeral home.

After presenting the wreaths and attending the deceased’s funeral, I mingled among the deceased’s family members unnoticed.

I took advantage of this opportunity to search around the funeral home.

Here, I finally saw Wu Jun.

Although I say Wu Jun, she no longer looked like the nanny she used to be.

If it wasn’t for her sitting beside Ye’s mother, I wouldn’t have recognized her at all..
