My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Choose a Side to Stand On
 

My trembling voice carried a tinge of desolation.

The words that seemed threatening were, in fact, filled with despair.

I had never wanted to force Gu Yuanzhou to admit his identity in this way; it was simply too low.

That was the most powerful statement I could come up with.

However, Gu Yuanzhou remained indifferent; he resolutely got into the car.

The car door slammed shut, and the vehicle sped away in an instant.

The dirty water kicked up by the car wheels splashed my face and body…

The cold rainwater immediately sobered me up quite a bit!

What exactly was I doing?

I don’t know how long I stood there in the darkness until a car’s headlights turned on, and a blue sedan stopped in front of me.

The car door opened, someone holding an umbrella came out, and quickly walked over to me,

“Ayun, my goodness, you’ve been standing in the rain for such a long time. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

The headlights shone through the rain and fog, and in the dim night, I saw the woman wearing a floral shirt; it was Wenya.

I couldn’t hold back, and I burst into tears the moment I hugged her.

Wenya didn’t say much, just held me tightly, constantly comforting me.

“It’s okay now, Ayun. We’ve made it through tough times before, and we can get through this one too. Just clench your teeth.”

“Wenya, I just ran into him…”

“I know, get in the car first. My God, you’re soaked through. Don’t get sick, get in the car first, let’s go home, and you can tell me slowly.”

Wenya pulled me toward the car.

After standing in the mountain rain for too long, I was completely frozen. After getting in the car, Su Peisheng turned on the heater, and only then did I gradually start to warm up.

The car raced through the night.

No one spoke.

After getting home, I took a hot shower first, and when I came out after changing my clothes,

Wenya was opening the door to let the delivery in.

There was a full table of barbecue, and Su Peisheng also brought in a bunch of beer.

“Come on, eat and drink. After we drink, let’s set aside whatever makes us happy. The great sky, the vast earth, but our own stomachs are the biggest.”

I didn’t eat the barbecue, just picked up a beer, opened it, and poured it down my throat.

“I saw Gu Yuanzhou!”

“Oh, then what happened?”

“Isn’t it ridiculous? He actually denied in person that it was him… He’s not Gu Yuanzhou at all, what a joke.”

“Is there a possibility that he might really not be Gu Yuanzhou?”

Wenya gnawed heartily on a grilled chicken leg while listening to me.

“How could that be? More than a decade of marriage, and I wouldn’t recognize him?”

“Then he has no reason to deny it. Think about it, didn’t he take care of you while you were blind a while ago? He’s already shown up, what’s there to deny? If he weren’t Gu Yuanzhou, he probably wouldn’t care about your life or death, right?”

“Maybe… he really has no feelings left. If he cared about me, if he still loved me, he wouldn’t have treated me like this today.”

Suddenly Su Peisheng said,

“I have an idea, do you guys want to hear it?”

Wenya immediately said cautiously,

“First tell us, what side are you on?”

“I’m neutral, and I never choose sides!”

“No neutrality allowed, you have to be on my sister’s side, otherwise shut it…”

“I was just thinking there might be a possibility!”

“What possibility?”

I don’t know why, but the beer in my hand tasted bitter, and after one sip, I couldn’t drink any more.

“Ayun, don’t accuse him of spouting nonsense.”

“Let him speak, Wenya. He’s a man too. I want to know. What legitimate reason could Gu Yuanzhou have for not acknowledging his own identity?”

Su Peisheng set down the tissue in his hand and pondered for a moment,

“First of all, I solemnly declare that I have no association with Gu Yuanzhou. I’m not taking his side. The reason I’m dissecting this viewpoint is purely because I thought of a possibility. I’ll put it forward first, and after I finish, you can decide if I’m right.”

“Go ahead!”

“Look, Gu Yuanzhou was implicated in a criminal case. He could say that he’d already been executed. If, at this time, he reappeared as Gu Yuanzhou, he would be arrested by the police.”

With Su Peisheng’s explanation, Wenya was stunned on the spot,

“Damn, that’s actually possible. Ayun, when you think about it, it makes sense. He can’t expose himself, or else he’ll have to face execution by firing squad again.”

I fell silent.

It really could be possible.

If that were the case, then it seemed somewhat acceptable.

Wenya then asked,

“But if that’s the reason, he could have just told Ayun. Ayun’s not unreasonable. He could have just explained properly.”

Su Peisheng spread his hands,

“I’m not him, how would I know what he’s thinking? This is just my speculation. Who knows what his actual reasons are. Hard to say.”

“Pah, how could you not know, you’re also a lousy man. You must know something else.”

“You’re wronging me; I was only making an instant analysis.”

As the two of them were arguing, Su Peisheng’s phone suddenly rang, and he picked it up to answer,

“Hello Auntie… Yes, okay, okay… I understand, don’t worry. I will do my best, but I can’t guarantee success! Mhm mhm mhm, okay, okay, I will make sure to relay your message with care.”

Su Peisheng talked for a long time, and I remained silent, lost in thought about Gu Yuanzhou’s situation, paying no attention to his conversation.

After he hung up the phone, Wenya asked,

“Who was that calling? You hmm’d and huh’d for ages!”

Su Peisheng scratched his head, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said to me,

“That was Ding Yinuo’s mother just now… She said Ding Yinuo has been in a coma for many days, and she felt embarrassed to bother you, so she asked me to come over and plead on her behalf, to see if you could spare some time to treat him!”

Before I could say anything, Wenya rejected on my behalf,

“Pah, doesn’t she consider what her son did to Ayun? How dare she come and ask? Just one sentence, no!”

Su Peisheng said,

“I think Ding’s mother is a pretty good person. Although Ding Yinuo might have gone too far later on, that doesn’t mean his mom is a bad person.”

Wenya said,

“I’m telling you, don’t go! After all the harm he did to us, we’re not seeking revenge, and that’s already something. And now to help them? Ridiculous, treating people like fools.”

Su Peisheng continued to persuade,

“Actually, I have an opinion. I think it’s very necessary to save him…”

After hearing this, Wenya shot to her feet,

“We’re done, it’s over! You just like to contradict me, don’t you!”

“No, honey… I was actually thinking of Ayun’s best interests!”

Su Peisheng quickly stood up to console her, but Wenya slammed the table,

“Fine, you give me a good reason, or it’s over between us.”
