“It’s not because of Zuo An, It’s because of...”
“I now know that Gu Yu may not have divorced me because he no longer has feelings for me, but... he certainly never thought of continuing to be with me.”
“Lil’ Weilai...”Xiao Chun muttered her name but couldn’t find the right word to comfort her.
Whether they were separated because they loved each other or they no longer did, it was still saddening.
But what was the reason that Gu Yu decided to give their relationship no leeway?
Xiao Chun frowned and thought about it again and again. She connected all the dots from the information that Xu Weilai told her before and suddenly had an idea, she said, “Lil’ Weilai, if you want to solve this mystery, you have to find the document that Gu Xue mentioned and also find out what has been going on with Yu’s body. Maybe these two are the reason behind your divorce.”
“I know.”
Xu Weilai drank another mouthful of liquor. After swallowing it, the dispirited look on her face reduced slightly. “I’ve already come this far. I can’t give up halfway. I have to decide on my own pathway.”
Seeing that she had regained her spirits, Xiao Chun heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and cheered for her, “This is the Lil’ Weilai that I know of.”

Xu Weilai was in no hurry to continue her investigation. Instead, she spent a lazy weekend in Xiao Chun’s apartment. After adjusting her state of mind, she went back to work the following week with regained energy.
Even though she knew that Zuo An harbored bad intentions, it wasn’t the time to shed all of their pretenses yet. Moreover, she could know every step he was going to take if she was to stay by his side. If she was to leave the Gu Corporation now, all her efforts would be for naught.
She had an inexplicable feeling that she would soon solve the mystery bit by bit.
At the regular meeting on Monday, they announced a new plan for the second half of the year for the Gu Corporation. They were prepared to take down a new development project in collaboration with foreign companies and explore the foreign market further.
They would be socializing with the foreign executives later that night. To show their sincerity, Zuo An suggested for Gu Yu to join him for the dinner and to discuss the direction of the development with the executives.
When he spoke, the directors echoed his suggestions.
Zuo An turned his head to look at Gu Yu. He questioned Gu Yu gently, “I wonder if CEO Gu is willing to go with me?”
Xu Weilai looked at Gu Yu.
As usual, Gu Yu’s handsome face showed no emotion, it was indifferent and cold. However, the trace of sickly paleness from the other night was no longer apparent on his face. There was no sign of illness at the moment, but she had a feeling that he had not recovered.
Zuo An would not ask him to attend a dinner party for no reason. After all, in this kind of situation, the attendance of either the CEO or the vice would be enough sincerity. There was no need for both of them to attend.
They certainly came harboring ill intentions.
Before Gu Yu could say anything, Zuo Si intervented, “You’re asking for such high honor if you need CEO Gu to attend the dinner with you. Vice President Zuo, if you lack the ability to negotiate on your own, then let me do it. I can take down the project on my own.”
Zuo An had always ignored her provocation. He was still looking only at Gu Yu, “CEO Gu, it’s certainly not a problem for me to negotiate on my own. If you don’t want to go, I certainly wouldn’t force you to.”
His words certainly managed to provoke Zuo Si as she was fuming, but was stopped by Gu Yu before she could say anything. He then mouthed his reply, “Sure.”
