Chapter 817: Was She Playing Hard to Get (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You will regret this…”
Gu Yu repeated these words under his breath, his eyes filled with confusion. Painful expression flashed across his face, as he pressed his large palm against his chest.
Xu Shuai was still thinking about his sudden words and was about to ask him to explain when he saw Gu Yu with his hand over his chest. The question that was about to leave his mouth went back down his throat as he nervously asked. “Yu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
He nearly lost his life previously, after all. Thus, Xu Shuai got nervous looking at him, who seemed in pain. “Is it the wound in your heart that hurts? Or is there something else? I’m calling the doctor.”
He reached for his phone and picked it up with his trembling hand.
Gu Yu reached out to him just when he was about to dial the doctor’s number and pressed him to sit down. “It’s not the wound that hurts, it’s my heart that hurts..”
“Isn’t that the same?”
His wound was at his heart, perhaps just a few inches away. That nearly cost him his life. How much different did it make?
Gu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xu Shuai. He moved his lips as if he wanted to tell Xu Shuai something, but couldn’t seem to put them into words. He pursed his lips on his sullen face. Then he took the phone from Xu Shuai’s hand and tightened his grip around the phone. He subconsciously turned the phone around in his hand and said, “I saw Xu Weilai today.”
This statement successfully pulled Xu Shuai’s attention away from his wound and health. He was caught off-guard by Gu Yu’s words. He carefully studied Gu Yu’s expression, but got nothing. After reconsidering his words, he said, “Isn’t that normal? Although you two are divorced, she now owns the shares of the Gu Corporation. That makes her a shareholder of Gu Corporation. It’s inevitable that you two will meet.”
After he said that in a light mood, he hesitated for a moment before asking in lower voice, “Did she… say anything to you?”
Assistant Lin had already called Xu Shuai to apologies for blurting out the truth to Xu Weilai after being coaxed into talking. However, Xu Shuai did not blame Assistant Lin since Xu Weilai would go after him anyway if she failed to make Assistant Lin talk. She would know eventually if she put her mind into it.
He just didn’t know how Xu Weilai would react when she found out.
Would she come up with a way to make Gu Yu recall their past and get together again? Or…
However, it seemed impossible to make Gu Yu remember their past, judging from the current situation. If she forced him to remember, it might be a self-defeating effort that could cause Gu Yu to detest her even more now that he was back to the self that disliked her. That could hurt her even more.
Xu Shuai disliked Xu Weilai in the past. But after what she did to save the Gu Corporation and what she did for both Grandpa Gu and Gu Yu, Xu Shuai’s perspective towards her changed dramatically. He seemed to have known a totally different Xu Weilai.
If Xu Weilai was really a materialistic woman who only loved money, she didn’t need to do this at all. She could be with Zuo An and enjoy the wealth and glory with Zuo An.
And because of this, he was unwilling to see Xu Weilai getting hurt again.
But he couldn’t influence Xu Weilai’s decision. He could only help her by putting in kind words for her and changed Gu Yu’s impression towards her if she insisted to continue her relationship with Gu Yu.
Gu Yu’s frown deepened, as if he was unwilling to tell. “She said…”
Xu Shuai got anxious as well, wanting to know what she told Gu Yu.
