Chapter 143: 143 We will often do something embarrassing _1
Given his temperament, he would have surely tipped that cup of coffee over.
But, he didn’t.
He took the coffee with both hands, then looked deep into my eyes.
Then he drained the coffee all at once.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I figured he must have been angry earlier, causing his liver to overheat, leaving him with a dry mouth and tongue, that’s why he drained the cup.
He asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
I glanced at the empty coffee cup, and replied indifferently,
“Take care, President Gu!”
After saying that, I picked up my phone from the table and without looking back, I left Gu Yuanzhou’s office.
When I reached the parking lot, I found that Ding Yinuo had already arrived.
His car lights were still on. He was pacing back and forth anxiously like ants on a hot pan, and simultaneously making a phone call on his mobile.
“Ding Yinuo, why are you here?”
He looked up at me and once he recognized me, he immediately rushed over and held me tightly in his arms.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls, what happened? Why did you stay silent when I called?”
“It was Gu Yuanzhou who rang. He knows about us! Uh, let’s go! I’ve been fired!”
I just briefly explained, and without a word, Ding Yinuo pulled me straight into the car.
“Get in!”
Then the car sped off onto the road like a flying arrow.
The entire way, neither Ding Yinuo nor I spoke a word.
The car raced like an unbridled horse.
We felt like survivors who had escaped from prison.
Or maybe we were a couple trying to elope without letting our parents know.
Only at the gate of Xishan Residence did he finally brake hard.
Before I could say anything, he hurriedly pulled me by the hand into the house.
“Look, such a big house, and it is missing a mistress. You can move in anytime!”
I just looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
“What’s wrong?”
He noticed my discomfort.
“I might not be able to become the lady of Xishan Residence anymore! I may be going to jail next!”
At this moment, I was surprisingly calm.
Images already forming in my mind, after I left, Gu Yuanzhou would suddenly be poisoned on the spot, coughing up blood and dying.
And on that coffee cup, my fingerprints remained …
Moreover, Gu Yuanzhou had fired me today, the HR manager could testify to this.
If they call the police, the police would suspect me first. They could infer that I must have poisoned Gu Yuanzhou out of resentment for being fired.
With both motive and evidence, all that’s left is to catch me.
Even if by some odd chance I weren’t sentenced to death, I would surely get life in prison.
So, I guess I don’t have the good fortune to become the lady of Xishan Residence.
“Going to jail for what? You still have me, what are you afraid of?”
In response to Ding Yinuo’s question, I was overwhelmed with thoughts. As I was conflicted about whether or not to tell him, suddenly we heard the doorbell ring.
Ding Yinuo went to open the door.
Upon seeing Su Peisheng, he said on the spot,
“You came at the wrong time. I’m busy right now. Come back tomorrow.”
Just as Ding Yinuo was about to close the door, Su Peisheng pulled someone from behind him,
“Young Master Ding, look at what treasure I brought you.”
A beautiful woman in a red dress.
“Ding Yinuo! You live here now?”
It took me a few seconds to recognize that this woman was Jiang Jiaying.
She didn’t wait for Ding Yinuo’s invitation and walked straight into the house.
“Wow, this house is really big! I really like it! Alright, I’m going to live here from now on.”
Jiang Jiaying was still holding a suitcase and just directly entered the house.
Ding Yinuo and Su Peisheng were behind her, and he quietly grumbled,
“Are you seriously ill? Why did you bring her here?”
“Isn’t she your ex-girlfriend? She said that she was too young back then and didn’t treasure you properly. Now that she’s grown up and matured, her heart has settled down and she wants to be with you.”
“Are you blind? You think she’s suitable for me?”
Ding Yinuo asked a string of questions, and Su Peisheng could not answer them for a while and could only slowly say,
“Don’t forget that your brother’s current company still needs her father’s support. Don’t ruin your brother’s good fortune. If you really don’t like her then just be friends!”
Ding Yinuo then turned to look at me.
“Why are you looking at me?”
He stared at me for a long time, which made me a little nervous.
He gestured to Su Peisheng,
“You go inside first and entertain her for a bit!”
Su Peisheng nodded understandably.
Only after watching Su Peisheng enter the room, did Ding Yinuo turn to look at me again,
“What do you think?”
“Think about what?”
“Do you think we can keep Jiang Jiaying here?”
I didn’t expect Ding Yinuo to throw the problem at me.
Considering the unpleasant experiences I had with Jiang Jiaying during my school days, I naturally did not like her.
However, no matter how much I dislike Jiang Jiaying, I can’t let personal feelings interfere in someone else’s emotional entanglement.
“Ding Yinuo, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me! If you like having her here then keep her, if not then don’t!”
Ding Yinuo squinted his eyes and asked me again,
“You don’t care at all?”
“You’re not my boyfriend, why should I care?”
My words seemed to have annoyed Ding Yinuo. He pointed at the tip of my nose and shook it, then finally gave up in resignation.
“Fine, you… nevermind, let’s go in!”
Although Ding Yinuo was a little disappointed, he still grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.
In the living room, Su Peisheng was sitting on the sofa. He had already opened a bottle of red wine and was entertaining Jiang Jiaying.
Jiang Jiaying had a white stuffed cat in her arms, sharing some funny stories she encountered on her way back home.
“Oh, I really didn’t expect it, the changes in our country these years are so fast!”
She was originally talking to Su Peisheng, but when she saw Ding Yinuo coming in, she immediately switched her target to him,
“Yinuo! The decoration style of your villa is very much to my liking! I love it… It seems that after so many years, our aesthetics are still consistent.”
“The interior was designed by a designer, I’m just casual!”
“By the way, your brother is really nice! He picked me up from the airport when I just arrived, and even took me out for a meal!”
“Really? Didn’t he arrange a hotel for you?”
“He said it’s not safe for a single girl to stay in a hotel, your place is clean and comfy, very suitable for me!”
Ding Yinuo took a drag from his cigarette and asked her, “So how long are you planning to stay here?”
Jiang Jiaying smiled and said, “I came back to A City as part of a talent introduction plan, I might become a vice president in your hospital!”
Ding Yinuo immediately straightened his back, looking at her in disbelief, “You?”
“What, are you looking down on me? Ding Yinuo, I have a PhD in medicine now! My educational background is higher than yours! Technically, I’m not inferior to you!”
“Oh, pleased to meet you!”
Ding Yinuo then extended one hand, pulling me into his arms,
“As an old classmate, I’m very willing to provide you with a place to stay. However, my girlfriend also lives here, she has quite a high demand, so, we often do some naughty things in the living room, if you don’t mind, you can stay.”
