Xu Weilai wasn’t eating with her thoughts running wild over previous night’s incident. Only when Zuo An prodded her with his gentle words that she regained her thoughts, “Weilai, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?”
She hurriedly replied, “No, no.”
Looking at the table full of delicacies, she instantly came up with an excuse. “All of them looked delicious I don’t know which one to start with.”
Zuo An gave her a smile and decided for her as he scooped a small bowl of red bean porridge and placed it in front of her, “Try this first then. You like red beans, don’t you?”
Xu Weilai gladly accepted the bowl of red bean porridge, “Thank you.”
Zuo Si teased them again when she looked at their interactions, “Such a lovey-dovey scene.”
She did not feel any awkwardness and continued eating, even though no one reacted to her sarcasm.
Zuo An’s father summoned him into the study after breakfast. Xu Weilai hid in the room to avoid Zuo Si and Gu Yu.
She sat on the sofa hugging her knees as she could finally calm down and think about what happened last night.
Meeting Auntie Bai here was the most shocking matter to her.
What she could conclude now was that Aunt Bai and CEO Zuo was having an intimate relations.h.i.+p. For a woman to sit on the laps of a man, they certainly had an affair. She could not convince herself otherwise.
But she did not know what kind of relations.h.i.+p they were having exactly.
The Aunt Bai she used to know did not seem like a woman that would cheat on her husband. What happened in the three years she was abroad?
After a moment of deep thought, she bit her lips with hesitation, but still picked up her phone and sent Xiao Chun a Wechat message.
She tactfully asked Xiao Chun about her parent’s relations.h.i.+p without a word on what she had seen.
A quick reply came from Xiao Chun, [Why did you ask about this suddenly? It has always been the same. They had a huge fight once because of Yun Rou. After my father sent Yun Rou away, they have been living peacefully together. I guess, it’s neither good nor bad?]
Aunt Bai and her husband were still married.
In that case, Aunt Bai was indeed having an affair with another man now. Did she lose her love towards her husband after he had broken her heart? Then she fell in love with Zuo An’s father after that?
Was Aunt Bai having a secret affair with Zuo An’s father because she was still married to Xiao Chun’s father? That was why she gave chase and even prepared to take action when they heard the slightest movement.
It did not seem impossible.
If Aunt Bai was on CEO Zuo’s side, then… after Grandpa Gu’s collapse and fell into a comatose state, which immediately caused crisis to Gu Corporation, and Zuo Corporation attacked and took a stake in Gu Corporation.
And Aunt Bai was Grandpa Gu’s psychiatrist, his trusted G.o.d-daughter. She visited Gu Family Residence often. Could she be the one that hurt Grandpa Gu?
Xu Weilai’s emotion changed at the thoughts of these possibilities.

In the study.
CEO Zuo sat on the swivel chair as he stared silently at the elegant man standing in front of his desk. “Come here, look at this.”
Zuo An nodded and stepped forward.
Father Zuo turned on the laptop on the desk and clicked on a video after entering his pa.s.swords.
Zuo An frowned as he watched the video playing on the laptop. His emotion darkened and his fist clenched tightly.
His emotion remained stiff even after the video ended as he stood frozen in front of the laptop.
CEO Zuo slammed the computer shut. He stared at Zuo An’s face for a few seconds before he frostily instructed, “I have a task for you.”
