My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

A shiver ran down my spine, and my face immediately turned grave.

I fell silent.

Instead, Gu Yuanzhou advanced towards me, closing the distance. He took a step forward, extending his hand to squeeze my small chin.

“As long as you admit that you are Ayun, I will save him!”

I knew, Gu Yuanzhou was scheming against me, again.

To be precise, he was trying to trick me.

He used Song Shixiong’s crisis to test if I was really Ayun.

I saw through his plot and naturally refused to fall for it. I calmed myself down and promptly pushed away his hand.

“Mr. Gu, I’ll say it again, Mr. Song is your wife’s uncle. If you don’t save him and something were to happen to him, what face would you have to face your wife?”

I simply tossed out these words and turned back to go inside.

Subsequently, I called out for Wu Lijuan,

“Aunt, your savior is here!”

Wu Lijuan was at this moment kneeling before the ancestral tablets. When she heard that Gu Yuanzhou was there, she quickly stood up and walked towards us.

“Where is he?”

“Oh, he’s outside on the phone.”

Just as I had imagined, Gu Yuanzhou had no intention of coming inside.

As I led Wu Lijuan to the door, Gu Yuanzhou actually turned toward his car, as if he intended to leave.

I quickly shouted to stop him.

“President Gu, you forgot something.”

At this sound, Gu Yuanzhou stopped and turned to look. Wu Lijuan, on the other hand, quickly walked towards him and grabbed his hand.

“Yuanzhou, you came at the right time! Let me tell you, your uncle is in big trouble. Come in, I’ll tell you.”

Now that they’d met, Gu Yuanzhou couldn’t refuse. He could only follow Wu Lijuan inside.

However, after entering the house, his gaze upon me became even more intimidating.

I could tell, he was sizing me up, observing me.

“Yuanzhou, it’s good that you’re here. What should we do about your uncle’s situation? I’m old, I’m useless now, ah, if not for having you by my side, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Wu Lijuan still looked worried.

Gu Yuanzhou’s reaction this time was far from any of his previous ones.

I had seen that he was usually very affectionate towards Wu Lijuan, and would try his best to help her whenever possible.

But this time, he was just listening quietly. He didn’t have any expression on his face and he didn’t offer any words of assurance.

“Yuanzhou, do you think your uncle can survive this crisis?”

“I’ll make a few calls to find out!”

“Okay, good, you must find out where he is.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t leave. He immediately took out his mobile and made calls to a few of his friends.

I could tell that his attitude was actually very perfunctory.

After asking around, he finally delivered some news to Wu Lijuan.

“I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help this time. My friend on the border side said that this is not just a matter of the mine accident. It also involves some gang disputes in the D Country! I can’t intervene, as you know, I’ve stayed away from things like this for many years.”

Shockingly, Gu Yuanzhou outrightly rejected Wu Lijuan’s plea for help; this situation had stunned me.

Wu Lijuan was completely at a loss about what to do next.

“Ah, even you are unable to come up with a solution, what are we supposed to do now?”

“Dealing with foreign incidents like this, even calling the police would be of no use! I’m sorry!”

Even though Gu Yuanzhou was uttering words of apology, there was absolutely no trace of regret in his eyes.

“That’s it then, Xiaosong, do you have any ideas?”

I quickly rose to comfort her,

“Aunt, I have already contacted my friend at the border, and he’s checking right now. As soon as I receive any news, I’ll inform you immediately. For now, why don’t you go rest? If anything were to happen to you due to staying up all night, there won’t be anyone left in your family, which would complicate things even more. You must take care of your health now…”

After hearing my assurances, Wu Lijuan managed to calm herself down a bit and went back to her room to rest.

At this point, it was already half past ten at night.

My phone rang. It was a call from Ding Yinuo.

I went to the door to answer the call.

“Ayun, have you gone home yet?”

It seemed like Ding Yinuo had formed a habit of confirming whether I was home every evening.

Or maybe he had gotten used to my presence and company after that engagement ceremony which I didn’t think was very important.

“Hmm, not yet, I’m caught up with something outside!”

“It’s so late, why don’t you hurry back home?”

“In a bit, I’ll head back once I finish dealing with this.”

“Have you run into some trouble?”

“Yes, I’m at…”

I turned back to look at Gu Yuanzhou. He was leisurely sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette, maintaining some distance from me.

I softly relayed Song Shixiong’s situation to Ding Yinuo.

After he listened, Ding Yinuo said,

“Should I come over to the Song family’s residence?”

“No need, it won’t make much of a difference. The key issue now is Mr. Song’s problem overseas. If you want to help, see if you can ask your foreign friends to check for you. If there’s any news, please inform me immediately.”

“Okay!”

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I didn’t tell Ding Yinuo that Gu Yuanzhou was at the Song Family’s residence.

Ding Yinuo wouldn’t come rushing over to the Song Family’s house out of concern for me.

After hanging up, I turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou.

Just as Gu Yuanzhou stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, straightened his suit, and started to leave.

I rushed over to stop him,

“Are you really not going to help Wu Lijuan?”

“What does it have to do with me?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s tone was indifferent.

“He is your uncle-in-law. Are you really so heartless?”

“As you said, he’s just my uncle-in-law, not my actual uncle. If some people don’t even care for their own uncle, why should I care for them? Tell me, isn’t it so?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, you mean to say that once your wife is dead, you don’t care about your uncle-in-law anymore, right?”

Gu Yuanzhou lit a smoke, studied me intensely, and said,

“Yes! When a person dies, he’s as insignificant as an extinguished lamp. When a person leaves, he’s as cold as tea that’s gone cold. You get it!”

“You!!!”

Indeed, I had no right to ask him to do anything for me.

But back then, if it hadn’t been for Song Shixiong’s support and guidance for Gu Yuanzhou, would he have been as successful as he is today?

“You ungrateful wolf!”

I erupted in fury.

But Gu Yuanzhou simply gave me an indifferent glance without showing any reaction.

He walked to the door, opened it, and walked out.

Before departing, he turned back to look at me again.

“Whether you are Song Yun or not, I should remind you of this. I don’t owe the Song family anything, I don’t owe Song Shixiong any favors. Even if he dies out there, it’s his own doing. It has nothing to do with me!”

As he declared these words, his eyes were full of ruthlessness.

I was so angry I felt like exploding.

If he had dared to utter even half of such words back when I first met him, I would have immediately cut all ties with him, there wouldn’t have been a chance of marriage with him.

In conclusion, he was just heartless to the core.

I once thought that he might have some feelings for the Song family, but it turns out he had none!

But watching him leave like that, I couldn’t be at peace with it.

So, I thought of a different plan.
