After seeing that Liang Doukou had absorbed what she had said, Zhou Jing softened her tone and continued, “Do you know how dangerous that was? You almost leaked the truth every time that girl said something!”
“Did you think that you were really going to chase away that gold digger? In actual fact, you’ve just pushed her straight into Gu Yusheng’s arms!”
Gu Yusheng was following me? If I’d found that whore, he would have overheard what I was going to tell her…
Panic flashed across Liang Doukou’s eyes.
“You mean, Gu Yusheng had set me up tonight?”
“I’m not sure.”
Gu Yusheng’s thoughts were too complex for others to figure out and, having never been close to him, Zhou Jing had no idea what he might have been plotting.
“But it’s possible since you went to Hui Shi and created that scene with Old Master Gu that Gu Yusheng became suspicious. You must understand that this is the first time you’ve ever had to deal with this. She’s the first of all the women who have tried to get close to Gu Yusheng who’s received his attention.”
Liang Doukou was frightened by Zhou Jing’s rationale and intuitively turned to her begging for help. “What should I do next? Will Gu Yusheng suspect that the body double is who he’s been looking for, just because he saw me follow her upstairs?”
“He will definitely be suspicious, but it’s merely suspicion and not certainty, isn’t it?”
Seeing that Liang Doukou had completely returned to her senses, Zhou Jing released her elbow and leaned back lazily into the car seat. The area between her eyebrows had been aching and, rubbing it with her fingers, she resumed, “Xiaokou, from now on, the best solution is to treat the girl like the air.”
“The air?” Liang Doukou was confused.
“Yes. She doesn’t exist. Regardless of how close she is with Gu Yusheng and what they’ve done, you don’t see any of it. This is all you can do now. If you lose yourself again like tonight, you are the only one who will suffer.”
“I can’t just allow that woman to stand by Yusheng’s side and not care about it, much less notice it. And at this rate, Gu Yusheng will recognize her sooner or later!”
“No, you still don’t get what I’m trying to say. What I mean is that biding your time doesn’t mean that others will also be able bide theirs.” As the words came out slowly from Zhou Jing’s scarlet lips, a sharp, murderous look flashed across her eyes.
“Money makes the world go ’round. If we’re willing to pay, we can get any kind of help we need. Why should we do everything personally and get our hands dirty?”
“Earlier today I made all the arrangements… When the opportunity arises, the girl will be abducted and forced to pose for compromising photos—nude. They’ll be posted online, and her reputation will tank. The Gu family is a huge household, and they all highly value their reputation. Even for a man like Gu Yusheng, he won’t be able to jeopardize his reputation for a slut…”
Liang Doukou swallowed and then replied with uncertainty, “Is that too cruel?”
“Cruel?”
Zhou Jing lowered her eyes and abruptly chuckled. After some time, she turned and stared at Liang Doukou with a warm, amicable expression. The words that came out of her mouth, however, were as cold as ice.
“Xiaokou, this isn’t cruelty. It’s taking advantage of an opportunity.”
