"I'm only focused on what's in front of me now. As for the future, we'll deal with it when it comes," Gu Xiuyu replied calmly.
His greatest wish at the moment was to have a small, exquisite, and happy wedding with Ye Ziyu, and to live their lives as husband and wife. If everything went smoothly, he also hoped to have the crystallization of their love.
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anticipation.
"Do you think that's possible? Let me tell you, Di Mingjue rescued Gu Xiukai from the warehouse yesterday. How far away do you think it is until they find you?" Ye Shaoting poured a bucket of cold water over him.
Overly beautiful things often only appear in two scenarios: in dreams, or in people's imaginations.
Ye Shaoting was displeased with Gu Xiuyu's actions and naturally didn't want his expectations to be too idealistic. "Your actions of crossing the bridge and burning it down make me very unhappy. Now, you either continue to cooperate with my plan, or you become my adversary."
Gu Xiuyu knew how perfect and formidable the SS combination he had formed was. Becoming his adversary would make it even harder for him to live happily with Ye Ziyu.
"What do you want me to do?" After much thought, Gu Xiuyu decided to wait and see.
"It's very simple," Ye Shaoting said. "My target has always been Di Mingjue. I don't care about you and Ye Ziyu. The prerequisite is that you help me deal with Di Mingjue."
Even the potent poison hadn't claimed his life; it seemed a more poisonous method was necessary now.
Ye Shaoting felt the silence on the call. "I'll give you a day to think about it and give me your answer tonight."
The call ended. Gu Xiuyu looked at the call that had lasted over ten minutes.
How should he choose? It was difficult for him to decide.
...
Ye Shaoting dropped the phone and walked away from his desk. Gazing at the office building opposite, hatred arose in his indifferent eyes.
His plans had failed time and again. He wondered if it was because he was too merciful, or because Di Mingjie was too lucky to survive. However, this time, he wouldn't let him be so fortunate.
Leaving the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Shaoting drove away from the company alone.
After a half-hour drive, he appeared near the Gu family residence.
He recognized the car parked in front as Ye Chenhan's. It seemed he was inside the Gu residence.
Ye Shaoting took out his phone from his pocket and called Ye Chenhan.
The call was answered immediately, and Ye Chenhan's voice came through the phone.
"Big Brother, is there something you need?"
"Where are you?"
"At the Gu residence."
Ye Chenhan didn't hide anything from Ye Shaoting. Whatever he knew, he told him.
"The Gu residence?" Ye Shaoting deliberately sounded surprised. "Gu Xiuyu is back?"
"It's not Gu Xiuyu, it's Gu Xiukai. This matter is a bit complicated, and it's difficult to explain clearly over the phone. I'll tell you slowly later when I have time. I have something to do now, so I can't talk anymore."
The call was hung up just like that.
Uncertain about what was happening inside, Ye Shaoting became anxious.
He dialed the phone again, unwilling to let Ye Chenhan obstruct his plan.
"Big Brother, is there something else?" Ye Chenhan answered the phone, sounding helpless. He was interrupted before he could even ask a few questions.
Ye Shaoting spoke rapidly, as if he had made a significant discovery. "Come to the company now. I have something you need to deliver to Di Mingjue."
"Something?" Ye Chenhan was intrigued. "Is it about Ziyu?"
"Come and get it. I'll be waiting for you at the company," Ye Shaoting replied vaguely, without revealing the details, and hung up the phone.
People are curious, and especially under the sway of curiosity, planned events can be altered.
After putting down his phone, Ye Shaoting focused his gaze intently on the main entrance of the Gu residence.
Three minutes later, Ye Chenhan hurried out from inside.
