It suddenly dawned on me–the cheongsam she was wearing, it was indeed the one I lent her before.

How shameless, she even had Gu Yuanzhou appraise it.

Gu Yuanzhou scrutinized it again before giving his verdict.

“She looks better in it!”

Ye Mengyan’s smile became just a bit more rigid as she awkwardly resounded, “Yes, I think she does too! I’m nowhere near as good as her!”

Her words were dripping with sarcasm.

Is Ye Mengyan out of her mind, comparing herself to someone who’s passed away?

I would never have believed that Ye Mengyan could stoop so low if I hadn’t witnessed it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears.

“Is she still on your mind, brother Gu?”

Ye Mengyan cautiously asked him again.

Gu Yuanzhou fell silent.

As he lifted his head, he found me at the entrance.

Our gazes met and locked for a moment, after which, he said to Ye Mengyan,

“I have some things to attend to, you should go ahead.”

Only then did Ye Mengyan notice me. She turned her head towards me.

In her eyes, I saw a glimpse of jealousy.

“Song Xiaoyun, you’re back! Are you feeling better?”

She was so two-faced. Upon seeing me, she immediately offered a radiant smile, rushed towards me, held me, and looked me up and down.

“I heard that it was Dr. Ding who performed your surgery, he really took good care of you.”

She knew very well that Gu Yuanzhou disliked Ding Yinuo. At this moment, she deliberately brought him up, intending to sabotage my relationship with Gu Yuanzhou.

I could clearly see through her malevolent intentions.

Sure enough…

Gu Yuanzhou was quiet, with his face gradually darkening.

I thought about the several bouquets of roses he had sent over, like clusters of flames in the dark night.

They resembled his current emotions quite accurately.

I glanced at Ye Mengyan,

“It’s thanks to Ding Yinuo that I’m still alive. So, according to you, he shouldn’t have taken good care of me, should he have let me die instead?”

Ye Mengyan sensed my hostility, and awkwardly chuckled,

“You misunderstand, why would I wish for your death? We’re friends after all! Of course, I hope that you’re always healthy!”

“Really? Is that so? I’ve always thought that you wanted me dead.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Like when you invited me to the bar, then set up a motorcyclist waiting outside. When I showed up, you had the motorcyclist hit me. Didn’t you want me dead then?”

I originally planned to bring this up with Gu Yuanzhou gradually.

But Ye Mengyan’s hypocritical smile made me feel nauseous.

I decided to confront her directly.

Ye Mengyan’s face turned somewhat pale, her expression was off, but she still insisted on denying it.

“Song Xiaoyun, I understand that you’ve been through a car accident and that you’re upset. I also hope that you recover soon, but please, without any concrete evidence, could you stop slandering me?”

She was visibly nervous, her hands tightly clasped together, her body slightly leaning forward, like a prawn, clearly in a position of defense with an intent to attack.

“Ye Mengyan, it’s you! Apart from you, no one else wants me dead!”

“Why would I want you dead? There must be a reason!”

Whether it was due to Ye Mengyan’s guilt or lack of experience, she showed numerous flaws while arguing with me, her voice hoarse.

“A reason?”

I curled up my lips slightly.

“Why don’t you think about it yourself? Reflect on the disgraceful deeds you’ve committed!”

“Song Xiaoyun, you’re unjustly accusing me! You’re defaming me!”

Ye Mengyan was so furious that her face turned red.

Perhaps she wanted to leave a good impression on Gu Yuanzhou, she trotted over to him sobbing again.

“Brother Gu, you must stand up for me! Song Xiaoyun, she… she’s defaming me like this, she can’t digest the fact that I have become the company’s spokesperson, she’s jealous of me, she intentioanlly discredits me, trying to get me into trouble too.”

Gu Yuanzhou remained calm, he looked me deeply in the eyes, “We can handle this between ourselves”

I kept quiet, only offering a smile.

But at this point, Ye Mengyan wasn’t ready to back down. She probably thought that if I spoke to Gu Yuanzhou privately, I could smear her even more.

Therefore, she affectionately insisted,

“Brother Gu, I want Song Xiaoyun to clear my name today. I’m not leaving unless things are clarified. I don’t want people to gossip about me.”

Gu Yuanzhou looked at me, “If you say she wanted to kill you, then bring out the evidence!”

And so, I placed Aunt Wu Lijuan’s hospital checkup form and the health product’s poison testing report in front of Gu Yuanzhou.

“A few days ago, Wu Lijuan got poisoned and was admitted to the hospital. After an investigation, it was found that the batch of health products you sent during the Spring Festival contained heavy metals.”

I showed Gu Yuanzhou a sample of the health product,

“This was provided by a servant of the Song family, you should remember it, right?”

Gu Yuanzhou picked up the medicine bottle and examined it, he confirmed on the spot, “It’s definitely what I bought, I remember it. I send these every year. How could it be poisonous?”

“Yes, I was quite curious about that too. So, I went to that drugstore and checked it. It was found that you handed over the health product to Mr. Ma, who then delivered it to the Song family.”

“Yes, I handed it to him, I was busy at that time…”

Gu Yuanzhou’s words stopped there, he immediately glanced at Ye Mengyan.

Although Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say it explicitly, I guessed that he was probably tricked by Ye Mengyan into some other matter at that time.

“So even if the medicine was poisoned, it was an issue pertaining to Mr. Ma. How is Mengyan implicated in it?”

Gu Yuanzhou calmly asked.

“Let Mr. Ma tell you.”

I made a phone call, and within 15 minutes, Mr. Ma rushed here.

The moment he walked in, he apologized to Gu Yuanzhou,

“President Gu, I’ve let you down, it was my…”

When Ye Mengyan saw Mr. Ma enter, her complexion worsened further.

She walked around anxiously and nervously.

“Speak clearly about the situation at that time.”

Old Mr. Ma, as I had instructed, then elaborated on the incident in detail.

“Yes, Ms. Ye replaced the medicine at that time, she asked me not to say a word…”

Mr. Ma pointed at Ye Mengyan.

Ye Mengyan immediately refuted, “Mr. Ma, you’re lying! You’re holding a grudge because I quarrelled with your wife last time and now you want to retaliate, is that it?”

Without waiting for Mr. Ma to respond, Ye Mengyan ran to Gu Yuanzhou crying, “Brother Gu, you have to believe me. I’m innocent.”

Gu Yuanzhou furrowed his brows, he asked Mr. Ma doubtfully,

“You knew it was poison, and you still delivered it to the Song family?”

“President Gu, I’ve admitted my mistake, I’ll tell you the truth. At that time, Ms. Ye gave me a large sum of money. I had lost a lot of money gambling on horse races and was in desperate need of money then. So, I had no choice but to ask Ms. Ye for help. I still have the transaction record on my phone! If you don’t believe me, I can show you.”
