Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Ji Jie was in Gu Yuchen's office, and she hadn't recovered from the shock of just arriving. Her phone was full of missed and unread messages from Ji Wanzheng.

She didn't click on any of the messages and simply turned off her phone. Only then did she feel that the world was finally a little quieter.

After a while, Gu Yuchen pushed the door open and walked in.

"Brother Yuchen!" She saw Gu Yuchen coming in and instantly jumped up from the sofa.

Gu Yuchen glanced at Ji Jie coldly, pondering for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Is this what you call commitment?"

A trace of calmness flashed across Ji Jie's eyes, and then she said seriously, "I did this originally, and it has nothing to do with you."

“All the false revelations that followed were caused by the tampering of the exhibition voting data. I don’t want you to get into trouble because of me.” Ji Jie said calmly.

Gu Yuchen was stunned, frowned and looked at her, whispering: "Something happened? What do you think will happen to me?"

"If you hadn't come to make trouble today, I might have completed the audit earlier and cleared my name earlier."

Gu Yuchen certainly knew Ji Jie's intention, and he also knew that her clarification could indeed help Gu's Group alleviate some of the turmoil. But he also knew that the firepower of news would never subside, but would only shift. In this way, the cross-section of the situation would only expand.

Besides, he has been pushed to the top of the news, and whether Ji Jie stands up at this time or not, the public's attention to him will not decrease in the slightest. Regarding his wave of hot topics, Ji Jie's clarification will only make his topic more popular.

Ji Jie's behavior is certainly very righteous, but she will also bring disaster to her own family.

He looked at Ji Jie, his eyes heavy, and continued: "Have you ever thought about what this will bring to Uncle Ji?"

Ji Jie's eyes flashed with determination. She looked steadily into Gu Yuchen's eyes, and said in a soft and low voice: "So what? Brother Yuchen, do you know how much I care about you?"

Gu Yuchen was shocked when he heard this, and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.

"I don't care what your relationship is with Ye Xingyao or Sister Su Mo. I just want you to know that no one and nothing can come before you."

"Even if you never look back at me."

After hearing the voice, Gu Yuchen clenched his fingers slightly and frowned slightly.

There was a cool silence in the air, so quiet that the only sound was the wind outside the window.

"So, Brother Yuchen, do you think I'm making trouble?"

"I'm causing you trouble again by doing this, right?" Ji Jie looked at Gu Yuchen with red eyes, and tears instantly hung on her delicate face the next second.

Gu Yuchen saw Ji Jie crying, and he was a little panicked. He felt that he couldn't even follow Ji Jie's words, let alone her emotions.

"Ji Jie..."

"I just don't want to draw the fire to your house." Gu Yuchen looked out the window and said calmly.

"But I was the one who drew the fire to you this time!"

"It's me who caused you trouble! It's me who caused you so much trouble!"

"It was me who caused the stock price of Gu Group to drop to that level!" Ji Jie said loudly with tears in her eyes, looking very excited.

Gu Yuchen's eyes flickered back and forth, as if he was a little overwhelmed by Ji Jie's sudden emotion.

After a long time, he took a piece of paper from the table, stretched out his arm gently, and handed it to Ji Jie.

But his eyes never looked at her.

"I've already told you that it was the enemy who was watching me too closely. It was only a matter of time before the situation we're in now happened. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Seeing that Ji Jie couldn't calm down for a long time, he added: "Thank you today, you are very...brave."

When Ji Jie heard Gu Yuchen thank her and praised her for her bravery, her eyes instantly brightened up. With her tears, her eyes seemed to be sparkling and translucent like stars.

But Gu Yuchen did not look into her eyes, nor did he know the tenderness and joy in her eyes.

"You should go home early. Uncle Ji must be very worried right now. I also have a lot of things to deal with here."

"There are too many reporters outside. I'll have someone take you there."

After Gu Yuchen finished speaking, he arranged for someone to pick up Ji Jie and leave.

Ji Jie looked at Gu Yuchen and realized that his face was still sick and bloodless. She instantly felt like something was blocking her heart.

"Brother Yuchen, take a good rest and don't get too tired."

Gu Yuchen nodded and watched her leave.

Ye Xingyao was lying on the big bed in Gu Yuchen's house at this time, browsing her phone, and happened to see the part where Ji Jie admitted that she had tampered with the exhibition data.

She rolled over suddenly, looked at it nervously, and even held her breath.

There was actually a scene of Gu Yuchen in the video! She held her breath and concentrated even more. When she saw Gu Yuchen slowly utter the words "Indeed", she suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up and her scalp tingled.

For a moment, she was unable to react. Her mind kept replaying the following:

"What do you mean? Wasn't my exhibition data tampered by Gu Yuchen and Ji Jie?"

"Didn't Gu Yuchen let Ji Jie do this just because I'm an acquaintance of Brother Ji Yan?"

"So I am not a victim of their business war!"

"This matter has nothing to do with Gu Yuchen?"

"Then why did he... apologize to me in the hospital?"

"Then why did Brother Ji Yan say that Gu Yuchen did it? Did Brother Ji Yan really misunderstand Gu Yuchen or did he say that on purpose?"

"But why did Senior Ji Jie do this? And I'm the only one whose data was changed."

"But Gu Yuchen clearly knew that Ji Jie did it alone, so why didn't he hold a press conference to clarify for so many days?"

Her eyes were wide open, and she was so shocked by the information that she couldn't recover.

At first, she was ecstatic to learn that Gu Yuchen was not the one who tampered with the voting results of his exhibition. But then she thought again and wondered why Gu Yuchen was under such great pressure and would rather assume that he did it than come forward to explain.

He would rather let everyone misunderstand him than say that he didn't do it.

He didn't even want to explain to her.

Ye Xingyao suddenly remembered the scene this morning when Gu Yuchen hurried to see Ji Jie when he heard that Ji Jie was coming.

Suddenly, my heart felt empty.

It turns out that the person he wanted to protect was Ji Jie.

He probably let me live in his house because he was afraid of being photographed and not being able to report to Ji Jie.

Ye Xingyao seemed to have figured something out in an instant. The reason why Ji Jie tampered with her voting results was that she only tampered with her results, which was such an obvious intention.

Could it be that she knew that she brought the sick Gu Yuchen to her room when she first met him that day?

Or did Ji Jie find out that I went to Gu Yuchen's room to take care of him after the cocktail party?

Ye Xingyao thought Ji Jie did all this because she was angry. Gu Yuchen, for the purpose of protecting Ji Jie, was willing to bear such great pressure from public opinion.

Once again, panic and helplessness came over her like a devil's claws, and she suddenly felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She was in so much pain that tears started to fall without her noticing.
