The lock was electrified, and Ye Ziyu couldn't open it. Watching Gu Xiuyu's retreating back, she walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Perhaps it was the intense gaze from her back, but Gu Xiuyu turned his head, holding his phone, and looked behind him.
The transparent glass couldn't block their gazes.
Ye Ziyu's eyes fell on his phone. Seeing his furrowed brow and worried expression, she guessed that the person on the other end was complicit with him.
"Why aren't you speaking?"
Hearing the impatient voice from the phone, Gu Xiuyu turned back and quickly said a few words before hanging up.
Returning to the living room, Gu Xiuyu saw Ye Ziyu standing barefoot by the floor-to-ceiling window and reached out to her. He bent down in front of Ye Ziyu and moved his hand towards her feet.
Ye Ziyu raised her foot and retreated, looking indifferently at Gu Xiuyu's dejected gaze, then turned and sat down on the sofa.
She picked up the remote control and turned on the television. The channel was broadcasting news about their wedding.
"Is it a marriage born of true love, or a terrifying kidnapping? We haven't reached a conclusion yet. However, our program has invited Gu Xiukai, who is also the brother of the main protagonist in this event." As the host's voice fell, Gu Xiukai, dressed in a suit, walked out from the side backstage.
Gu Xiukai sat in his designated seat and looked resolutely at the camera in the photographer's hand. "Hello everyone, I am Gu Xiukai, the current head of the Gu Corporation."
The host smiled and responded, "Mr. Gu, are you aware of the rumors circulating online?"
"I hope everyone will stop spreading rumors about kidnappings. Such accusations have a significant impact on our Gu Corporation. Everyone here is an adult, and you all understand adult relationships. Let me ask you, if it were you, would you marry someone against your will? And allow them to spread information about it online?"
After these words, a rustling sound came from the staff in the venue.
The embarrassment flashed across the host's face, and she quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Gu has a point. We are all outsiders to this matter, and all we can do is remain neutral."
Gu Xiukai looked meaningfully at the female host.
This interview was not one he had intended to take; Ye Shaoting had arranged it for him.
The content released by Di Mingjue online had brought too much negative impact on Gu Xiuyu, and it would attract many nosy people to investigate them.
The current course of action was to find a mediator to prevent all of this. The most suitable candidate was Gu Xiukai.
He looked at the black viewfinder as if the other end was Gu Xiuyu, staring intently.
As the interview was about to end, there was a last-minute change in the studio.
A staff member next to him trotted over and said a few words to the female host, whose expression suddenly became tense. She looked towards the entrance, and even Gu Xiukai, standing at the side, changed his expression.
"We have a distinguished guest joining us in the studio on short notice, and the plan for today's event has also been adjusted." As the host's words fell, Di Mingjue appeared on screen.
Ye Ziyu immediately sat up. This was the first time Ye Ziyu had seen him since the toxins in his body had been cleared.
"You should all be familiar with me. I am Di Mingjue, Ye Ziyu's legal husband. Mr. Gu, I've heard everything you said from behind. Can I understand that you are trying to manipulate people's thoughts?" Di Mingjue confronted Gu Xiukai as soon as he arrived. xxs壹贰
It had been a few days since they last met at the road junction in the suburbs.
"Mr. Di, you misunderstand me. After all, I am just an observer. I am not clear about the details of the matter, and I cannot speak carelessly." Gu Xiukai stood up from his chair with a smile and walked towards Di Mingjue.
They were like water and fire, unable to mix when they stood together.
The female host, sensing that something was amiss, turned to look at the director behind the studio.
