Don't meet me in your next life.

Chapter 152 Too Cold-Blooded

"Gu Zeyu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to imprison me? Let me tell you, I'm not buying it."

Gu Zeyu grabbed her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"You said I'd make you regret ever being born!"

"You dare!" Xiang Yi gritted her teeth and glared at him resentfully.

She had never been afraid of anyone before, but at this moment she felt a fear she had never experienced before.

What kind of man is Gu Zeyu?

How dare they threaten her like that?

Gu Zeyu smiled.

He released her, sat back down at his desk, crossed his legs, and leaned back elegantly in his chair.

Xiang Yi rubbed her aching cheek.

He was genuinely angry just now, but she wasn't so easily subdued either.

"You think you can escape my grasp now?"

Xiang Yi glared at him.

She never thought of escaping his grasp.

But she absolutely would not allow anyone to bully her.

"President Gu, I think you've made a mistake. I'm not your prisoner, so please clarify your current situation."

Gu Zeyu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure!" Xiang Yi said confidently.

Gu Zeyu looked at her for a long time before finally uttering two words: "Idiot."

Xiang Yi retorted without backing down, "You're the idiot! Your whole family are idiots!"

Gu Zeyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

How dare she insult his entire family?

He sneered, "Xiang Yiyi, it seems you really need a lesson!"

Xiang Yi met his gaze without flinching. "Gu Zeyu, do you want to hit me?"

“I hit you, not because I hit a woman, but to teach you a lesson.” Gu Zeyu said, pulling a document from his desk and throwing it in front of her.

Xiang Yi didn't even look at it before casually tossing it on the floor.

"Mr. Gu, since you don't trust me, there's nothing I can do. You can do whatever you want with me." She snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Xiang Yiyi, you'd better pray my lawyer arrives here soon, or you'll face the consequences!" Gu Zeyu said menacingly.

Xiang Yi rolled her eyes dismissively, turned around and walked out of his room.

She was not afraid of his threats.

Because she knew that even if Gu Zeyu didn't want to let her go, he wouldn't dare to touch her at the company.

She believed he would never dare let the media know about this.

Because he doesn't like to show off like Lin Zhenghao, and doesn't want to get into trouble.

"What's wrong? You look terrible."

As soon as she entered the secretary's office, Chen Xiaoxiao asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at her, then continued to bury herself in organizing the documents.

"Yeah, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamt that my mom got hit by a car..."

Xiang Yi sighed, her expression somewhat gloomy.

"No way! Don't overthink it. Your aunt will definitely be alright; she's incredibly lucky."

Xiang Yi smiled, "I also hope my mom is alright..."

"You two silly girls..." Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head, unable to suppress a laugh.

......

Gu Zeyu sat in his office, his face flushing red and then turning pale.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.

That idiot dared to compare him to her mother!

Is she really not afraid of death?

Xiang Yiyi, you just wait!

His hand clenched into a fist again.

......

"Ms. Xiang, your phone has been ringing for a long time. Would you like me to answer it?"

Xiang Yi looked up and saw Lin Xiaoqian standing in front of her desk.

She was stunned.

It was only then that I realized it was lunchtime.

"I forgot it, I'll pick it up later, thank you."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do, you go ahead with your work."

Lin Xiaoqian left.

Xiang Yi stared at her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the call.

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Yi Yi? Where are you right now?"

"Auntie, who are you?" Xiang Yi frowned.

"How can you speak like that, child? I am your uncle and aunt! How can you, such an unfilial daughter, disown us like this?"

Uncle and Aunt?

Xiang Yi quickly searched her mind.

"Are you... from the Gu family?" she asked.

"Yes, you don't know us?"

"Uh... I don't know..." Xiang Yi chuckled awkwardly.

Gu Zeyu didn't tell her that the Gu family members were all high-ranking officials.

"Yi Yi, I'm so sorry about what happened this time... It was your father's fault; he was too stubborn, which led to the misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

"Yes, we heard that you resigned because you encountered setbacks at work. You know our family isn't well-off and can't afford to support you, which is why we agreed to let you go to Gu's."

Xiang Yi was somewhat surprised.

She had no idea that there were these reasons behind it all.

It turns out that Gu Zeyu already knew about her.

But instead of stopping her, he sent her to Shengshi Group.

Xiang Yi didn't know the reason why she did this.

"Yi Yi, where are you now?"

"I'm still working at Sheng's."

"Really? You're so old and still working at Sheng's Corporation. You're really making us worry. Why don't you come back first? We can talk it over and resolve this."

"No, no, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself," Xiang Yi insisted.

"But it's really not safe for a girl like you to be out alone."

"Auntie, I don't need bodyguards. I have a job now, so you don't need to worry."

"Oh dear, we were just worried about you. Yi Yi, please stop being stubborn and come back."

"No, no, it really won't do. I'm working at Sheng's right now. If I suddenly quit, Gu Zeyu will definitely cause trouble for me. I can't let him have any leverage against me."

"This..." There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Alright then, please be careful out there by yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, just call us."

"I understand, I definitely will, thank you Auntie. Goodbye." Xiang Yi hung up the phone.

She wouldn't tell anyone about this, not even Lin Zhenghao and Li Yufen, otherwise it would be a betrayal of Gu Zeyu.

But this can't go on forever. After all, Gu Zeyu already knows that he won't let her off easily again.

Xiang Yi rubbed her temples and shook her head helplessly.

She was absent-minded all day.

Gu Zeyu's deep eyes always appeared in her mind.

"Xiang Yiyi, you're getting more and more confused. He treated you so badly, why are you still thinking about him?"

Xiang Yi slapped her forehead.

Yes, he treated her so badly, how could she still be thinking about him!

Why is she worrying about this?

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and saw that it was Lin Zhenghao.
