Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

Jiang Yu and He Li's secretary were discussing the details of the next cooperation in the conference room, while Gu Yan followed He Li to the coffee shop downstairs in the company.

The coffee shop is the least crowded at 11 o'clock. The waiter inside is frequently glancing at the two people in the corner. The two people sitting together are a pleasing sight, as if they are isolated from the outside world.

He Li was enjoying the sunbath comfortably. The weather was really good today, and his mood also improved a lot.

But Gu Yan opposite her had a completely gloomy aura. She felt like she could fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Her head felt heavy, but her reason reminded her not to relax yet.

"Boss He, thank you for helping Jiang Corporation today, but I can't go back to the capital with you. I have to stay here."

Gu Yan knew how to praise first and then criticize. He Li had long guessed that Gu Yan would not go with him so easily, but knowing it was one thing, and actually hearing her rejection was another.

"Don't be so ungrateful. If you dare not go to the imperial capital, just give it a try." Do you still think he is the He Li from seven years ago? The current He Li is a man of his word, and no one can refuse his proposal.

He Li said this in a calm tone, as if he was saying that the weather was really nice today.

But Gu Yan felt horrified when he heard this, and even his hair stood on end. He Li was definitely not a person who would exaggerate. For him, killing Gu Yan would be as easy as killing an ant.

"Let's go." He Li stood up, took his coat and walked out on his own. After he walked out of the cafe, he realized that Gu Yan did not follow him. At this time, the waiter inside also started shouting loudly.

"Miss, are you okay, Miss?"

He Li rushed in almost in an instant. He picked up Gu Yan and only then realized that Gu Yan's body temperature was abnormal.

"Gu Yan, Gu Yan!" Maybe he was pushing too hard. Gu Yan had indeed suffered too many blows recently.

After shouting twice, Gu Yan opened her eyes slightly, but soon fainted again. He Li picked up Gu Yan and carried her horizontally, then drove to the nearest hospital.

Half an hour later, Gu Yan's temperature began to gradually drop. The doctor prescribed antipyretics for Gu Yan and then turned around to give He Li some instructions.

"Your girlfriend has been under a lot of pressure lately. She should relax and rest up. But don't worry too much. You can go home once she wakes up."

He Li listened carefully at the side, and then wrote down the dosage and precautions. Gu Yan woke up shortly after the doctor left.

"How are you?"

What caught Gu Yan's eyes was He Li's anxious face. Gu Yan opened his mouth, but only coughed dryly.

He Li handed over the warm water he had prepared long ago. After Gu Yan finished drinking the water, He Li returned to his previous indifferent look: "Why is your physical fitness so poor?"

You clearly want to care about the other person, but the words you say are different.

Gu Yan didn't have the energy to argue with him at the moment. After half a minute, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Do I have to go?"

"Yes."

"Okay, give me two days. I'll go back with you after I've dealt with things in Qingcheng."

Gu Yan knew that in the current situation, she had no ability to refuse. Although she didn't understand what He Li was going to do, she was used to it over the years.

Looking at the pale-faced woman in front of him with a fearless expression, He Li knew that he had succeeded in the first step.

He Li pulled a stool and sat next to Gu Yan, his tone unconsciously softening: "Going to the Imperial City won't kill you, but if you stay in the Jiang family, people will keep you under control."

Gu Yan knew that what He Li said made sense, but she didn't say anything. Fatigue came over her again, and soon she fell into a deep sleep and slept until four in the afternoon.

When Gu Yan woke up again, the person she saw had changed from He Li to Jiang Yu, and she actually felt a little lost in her heart.

Jiang Yu told her about the follow-up matters of the cooperation between the two companies. There was no problem with anything else, but if Gu Yan went to the imperial capital, who would be the person in charge afterwards? This was a difficult problem.

"Jiang Yu, are you willing to go further?"

"What?" Jiang Yu was a little confused. When Gu Yan said "take a step forward", did she mean a step forward in position or a step forward in their relationship?

Gu Yan supported herself on the bed and sat up, looking at Jiang Yu with confidence in her eyes. "You are the one I trust most in Jiang Corporation. Before I leave, you will become the youngest director of Jiang Corporation. Jiang Yu, I believe you can do it, right?"

Facing the woman he already loved, Jiang Yu had no way to refuse. But when Jiang Yu held Gu Yan's shoulders, He Li came back from outside with dinner.

He Li didn't expect that he would see this scene when he came back after only being away for ten minutes.

"Mr. Jiang, you're so free! Has the contract been processed?"

Jiang Yu felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why he always felt flustered when facing this man, as if he was a toy that he couldn't show off.

Ever since He Li came in, Gu Yan's eyes have never left him. Jiang Yu thought that he would have to hide his feelings for the rest of his life. He and Gu Yan were from two different worlds, so he shouldn't have any extravagant expectations.

"Where were you just now?"

He Li replied unhappily, "No comment."

Jiang Yu didn't stay any longer, he retreated silently.

Gu Yan left the hospital after dinner. He Li sent her to the downstairs of the apartment and then left. He promised Gu Yan to give her two more days.

After returning to the apartment, Gu Yan began to pack her luggage. After staying in Qingcheng for seven years, she only had so few things that belonged to her. In just one hour, she had packed everything.

Gu Yan released a new personnel notice on Jiang’s official website. From now on, Jiang Yu will be in charge of all matters of Jiang’s Group on behalf of Gu Yan. Jiang Yu’s position has also been promoted from secretary general to deputy general manager.

The next morning, Gu Yan went to Jiang's to hand over some work procedures. Jiang Yu knew that Gu Yan was about to fly away.

He wanted to keep her, but he had neither the status nor the ability.

After dealing with the company's affairs, Gu Yan went to the flower shop the next morning to buy Jiang Hao's favorite lilies, and then went to the cemetery alone.

She stayed in the cemetery for a long time and talked a lot with Jiang Hao. When she came out, her eyes were a little red. She was really going to leave. She had lived a peaceful life under the wings of the Jiang family for seven years. In the rest of her life, she had to make her own way.

After leaving the cemetery, Gu Yan took a bus to the Fourth People's Hospital in Qingcheng, which was also the mental hospital where her mother Ye Shuang was.

"Ms. Gu, your mother has been doing well lately. After you go in, you can talk to her more. You and Mr. Jiang haven't visited her for a long time."

When Gu Yan entered the room, he saw Ye Shuang sitting on the sofa watching a cartoon. It was Detective Conan, Gu Yan's favorite cartoon when he was a child.

"Mom, I brought you your favorite fruit. Can I wash one for you?"

Ye Shuang heard the sound and then turned her gaze towards Gu Yan with a gentle smile on her face: "Okay, my Yanyan loves mangoes the most. Did you buy any mangoes?"

“Yes, I bought some.”

Gu Yan actually doesn’t like mangoes. The one who likes mangoes is her younger brother, Gu Ci, who only lived to the age of eight.

When Gu Yan peeled the mango and handed it to Ye Shuang, Conan's key to solving the case was playing on TV, and Conan's voice came from it, "You killed her!"

This line suddenly stimulated Ye Shuang like a switch, and Ye Shuang looked at Gu Yan with eyes full of hatred.

Before Gu Yan could even react, she pushed Gu Yan to the ground, "You killed her, you killed her, why didn't you die, why!"

The violent beating was like killing an enemy. Gu Yan knew that her mother had fallen ill again and had returned to the night when her brother died.

The pain in her body was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in her heart. It was Gu Yan who was useless. After so many years, she still couldn't bring the murderer to justice. She deserved to be beaten by her mother. She couldn't escape or hide.

Fortunately, the medical staff outside heard the noise and rushed in. After several people held Ye Shuang down and forcibly gave her a sedative, Ye Shuang gradually calmed down.

After a while, Ye Shuang calmed down completely. She looked at Gu Yan and found a slap mark on her face. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and asked, "Did Mom hit you?"

Ye Shuang is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. If it weren't for Jiang Hao supporting her all these years, the mother and daughter would have collapsed long ago.

Gu Yan shook her head desperately, forcing herself to smile: "No, it wasn't mom who hit me, I accidentally fell down."

Ye Shuang hugged Gu Yan into her arms, murmuring, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom is sick again, isn't she? Don't come to see me anymore. I'm doing well here. I have everything I need."

Gu Yan held Ye Shuang in her arms and patted her back gently, just like her mother coaxing her to sleep when she was a child.

"Yanyan, is Haozi on a business trip? He hasn't come to see me for almost a month. I always complained that he came too often before, but I don't dislike him. Can you help mom and Haozi explain this?"

Gu Yan bit her lips tightly, and only when she was sure that her voice was fine did she dare to lie: "Uncle Jiang Hao is indeed on a business trip. He is going abroad this time and it may take a long time for him to come back. He said that when he comes back, he will come to see you as soon as possible. Mom, you know, Uncle Jiang Hao will never lie to you."

Ye Shuang felt relieved after hearing Gu Yan's answer.

"Yanyan, you're not a child anymore. You should find someone to take care of you. Next time, you can bring a date to see your mother. A girl is fine too."

Ye Shuang is quite open-minded in this regard.

"Well, I will."

After Ye Shuang fell asleep completely, Gu Yan paid the hospital's hospitalization and medical expenses for the second half of the year. From then on, she would not be able to visit her mother often for at least a long time.

When Gu Yan returned to the downstairs of the apartment building, under circles of warm yellow lights, she saw He Li leaning against the car door.

"He Li."

He Li raised his head suddenly when he heard the voice and looked sideways. Gu Yan was standing there. The black windbreaker still couldn't block her dazzle. The cold wind blew the corners of her clothes. Such a small person looked like a poor kitten.

He Li strode towards Gu Yan, and as soon as he got close, he saw the clear slap mark on Gu Yan's face.

"Who did it!"

Although the words were spoken in anger, Gu Yan could hear the concern in them.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell."

He Li was concerned about Gu Yan, but the next thing he said made the two of them even more tense. "Do you think I'm an idiot? If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

"You!" Just now, Gu Yan had an illusion in her mind and almost said something embarrassing.

Gu Yan withdrew the emotion she had just felt and returned to her normal expression. "Why are you here?"

He Li also realized that he had just been impulsive, but he still had to save face, so he coughed and said, "I'm here to supervise you. I'm afraid you'll run away halfway."

"I'm not that dishonest. You're worrying too much."

He Li couldn't help but complain in his heart, "It's not like I haven't run before."

"What did you say?"

He Li didn't say anything else, but followed Gu Yan upstairs openly, saying that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water.

After entering the house, He Li swaggered around the house and came to the conclusion from his observation that there were no men's products here.

Gu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to this person. She went back to her room and called Jiang Qitian's class teacher.

"Teacher, please find Xiaotian."

After a while, Jiang Qitian's voice came from the phone, "Sister Gu Yan, you are looking for me."

"Xiaotian, are you adapting well to school these past two days? Are you keeping up with your studies? And you should wear more clothes, as the temperature in Qingcheng is going to drop in the next few days."

Hearing Gu Yan's concern for him, Jiang Qitian felt warm in his heart, and even the words he spoke were filled with tenderness: "Well, everything is fine, everything is fine with me, Sister Gu Yan, when I get out of school on Friday, you can come to the old house. Aunt Wang said she brought a hen from her hometown to make soup, and we can drink it together."

Gu Yan was still thinking about how to tell Jiang Qitian that she wanted to leave Qingcheng, but she didn't expect that Jiang Qitian would give her this opportunity.

"Xiaotian, I can't make it through Friday."

Jiang Qitian felt disappointed when he heard that Gu Yan couldn't make it, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and said, "It's okay, let's do it next time."

"Xiaotian, I'm leaving Qingcheng. I called you today to tell you. Don't worry, I'll come back to see you as soon as I have time."

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Jiang Qitian. Gu Yan was leaving. Didn't she want him anymore? Where was she going to leave Qingcheng?

"Sister Gu Yan, is the pressure from the company too great? Can I..."

Gu Yan didn't hear what Jiang Qitian said next because another person in the room started calling her.

"Gu Yan, where's the water? You're going to make me die of thirst."

It was a man's voice. Jiang Qitian's hand holding the phone tightened. Gu Yan never let strangers into the house. Who was this man!

"Wait a minute, Xiaotian, I have something to do so I'll hang up first."

Listening to the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Jiang Qitian's heart was filled with alarm. He realized that some things might be developing in a direction beyond his control.
