Chapter 524: Doesn’t He Care About His Reputation?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was a question that was really difficult for Xixi but she stopped climbing the window sill and ultimately chose her brother.
Ye Xicheng was very satisfied with his younger sister’s choice. If Xixi saw the old meatball standing outside in the rain, she would definitely keep crying and asking to go outside.
Ye Xicheng was very satisfied with his sister’s reaction. Therefore, even though his sister liked Gu Juexi, in his sister’s heart, he was still her priority.
Therefore, Ye Xicheng had won this battle this time.
Nalan Chunbo leaned against the window and looked at the person who had not moved an inch. “So, you feel bad for him now? Is that the power of that pot of cactus?”
Ye Yuwei: “…”
Why must he mention the cactus?
Nalan Chunbo glanced at Ye Yuwei and then said, “You have not given up on him even after all these years.”
“No, you are wrong. I have given up on him a long time ago,” Ye Yuwei said before pulling the curtains back together.
Gu Juexi looked up at the curtains that were being pulled together slowly, until he could no longer see the person behind the window.
The night was gloomy with the heavy downpour, which matched the gloominess on Gu Juexi’s face.
After receiving a call from Ye Yuwei, PA Wen rushed to the hotel. It was only after he had stopped his car directly in front of his CEO that he could clearly see what he was doing.
PA Wen hurriedly brought an umbrella down to shelter the CEO. “CEO.”
“Take the umbrella away,” Gu Juexi said.
PA Wen continued standing beside Gu Juexi, and he continued sheltering Gu Juexi with the umbrella. “CEO, I think it would be better for you to go back first. I am afraid that if the media and tabloids take pictures of this, then—”
“I said, take the umbrella away,” Gu Juexi replied coldly.
PA Wen could not do anything but remove the umbrella.
“There is nothing for you to do here, you can go back now,” Gu Juexi said.
PA Wen looked up in the direction of the hotel and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Ye Yuwei had called him and summoned him to come over even before he could finish his dinner, and now that he was here, he was told to go away.
Who should he listen to?
Couldn’t the lovers leave him out of their squabbles?
He was just a personal a.s.sistant.
PA Wen was frustrated. After thinking about it, he decided to go back into the car. It was better for him to listen to the CEO in this kind of situation.
After getting into the car, PA Wen did not start the car but instead he took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Ye Yuwei’s number.
“The CEO refuses to leave.”
“Don’t he care about his reputation anymore?” Ye Yuwei asked, obviously annoyed. She had only requested for Gu Juexi to do this because she was certain that he would not do it. She had not expected that Gu Juexi would do it for her without any hesitation at all.
When PA Wen heard Ye Yuwei’s words, he suddenly laughed but his laughter carried a tinge of bitterness in it.
“The CEO had already given up on his reputation a long time ago because of you, Young Mistress,” PA Wen said with a sigh. “Young Mistress, I know how difficult the CEO can be, I know how much he used to care about his reputation, but I also know better than anyone else how the CEO had been living for the past six years.”
Ye Yuwei’s hand tightened around her cell phone as she leaned back against the window.
“The chairman had been relentlessly attacking and trying to suppress Gu Enterprise for the past few years but the CEO had never once retaliated or fought back. This was because the CEO was already dead, he was dead ever since you left his life.”
Ye Yuwei did not hang up the phone, but she did not say anything to stop PA Wen from speaking.
PA Wen understood that this meant that the young mistress wanted to know. He knew that this was what Ye Yuwei wanted to listen to.
“I think you do not know this, Young Mistress, but when the CEO was sent back after the incident six years ago, he was unconscious in the hospital for more than half a year. The doctors could not do anything to wake him up and he was just in a comatose state. It was only after the mistress was declared critically ill and admitted to the hospital that Lu Qichuan and Yu Jiangqing was finally able to wake him up. Ever since the CEO woke up, he had been like a dead person who was only alive and living, all for his mother’s sake.”
Ye Yuwei still leaned against the window, but her mind was filled with endless thoughts.
