My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I lowered my head and listened silently to Gu Yao's scolding, not daring to utter a sound.

After Gu Yao got tired of scolding.

Zhao Ming thoughtfully brought her a cup of hot tea to warm her up.

Then he comforted her, saying, "Gu Yao, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health for Lu Yi!"

Gu Yao nodded after hearing this.

Then he glared at me fiercely.

She blurted out, "Lu Yi, you've disappointed me so much! You're utterly hopeless!"

I was scolded and remained silent with my head down.

Then, I followed Gu Yao and Zhao Ming back to the private room.

They were sitting in their seats, while I stood to the side.

Zhao Ming even pretended to ask me to sit down with him, repeatedly saying that we were family.

But Gu Yao is still angry with me.

She made me stand and forbade me to sit, saying it was a punishment to teach me a lesson.

You're not allowed to lie to her anymore!

But I was right in front of her.

I have never lied...

on the table.

I listened silently to Zhao Ming and Gu Yao's conversation.

Zhao Ming said, "Gu Yao, we originally planned to look at wedding dresses last time, but it was ruined by Lu Yi's situation! How about we go look at wedding dresses again tomorrow?"

Gu Yao said, "Let's not rush into the wedding dress for now."

Zhao Ming said, "I'm not actually in a hurry, but the key is Aunt Gu. She's quite anxious. After all, she wants us to get married soon so she can hold her grandson and have some fun."

I stood aside, silently observing Zhao Ming's every move.

Zhao Ming's eyes greedily scanned Gu Yao's body.

If his eyes could move.

At this moment, Gu Yao's clothes should have been stripped off by him.

but I know.

Although Zhao Ming and Gu Yao appear to be in a romantic relationship.

However, given Gu Yao's conservative nature, it's impossible for her to have a relationship with Zhao Ming before marriage.

Therefore, Zhao Ming kept it to himself.

He had been coveting Gu Yao for a long time.

Even though Gu Yao had become his girlfriend.

But he couldn't even touch Gu Yao's body.

Even occasionally trying to hold Gu Yao's hand would result in being slapped.

Gu Yao was deep in thought.

After a while, she answered Zhao Ming's question.

"Zhao Ming, I'd like to postpone the wedding."

Zhao Ming was stunned.

I sneered inwardly.

Seeing Zhao Ming's reaction, a satisfied smile crept onto my lips.

But this is the moment.

Zhao Ming suddenly turned his head and glanced at me.

He happened to see me laughing.

Zhao Ming's expression changed instantly, and a flame of anger ignited within him.

Because he suspected that Gu Yao had postponed her wedding.

I was the one who caused all this trouble!

But in fact.

I absolutely did not interfere!

Gu Yao trusts Zhao Ming but not me.

So, regarding those dirty deeds of Zhao Ming.

I didn't tell Gu Yao a single one of them.

Because I was afraid that Gu Yao would think I was deliberately smearing Zhao Ming and throwing mud at him.

At that point, Gu Yao will send me to a correctional facility or a mental hospital in a fit of anger.

That's why I'm laughing at this moment.

That's why my plan to meet Zhao Ming failed.

I felt happy and pleased.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming discovered it.

Zhao Ming certainly wouldn't dare to make trouble for me in front of Gu Yao.

He had no choice but to turn his back to Gu Yao, glare at me fiercely, and give me a threatening look.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ming turned his head, a fake smile instantly appearing on his face.

He said in a fawning tone, "Gu Yao, why do you suddenly want to postpone your wedding?"

"Actually, I respect your wishes 100%. I'm ready to get married whenever you want!"

"But the key issue is Aunt Gu's side. She's been looking forward to your wedding for a long time!"

"I'm fine, but I'm worried that Aunt Gu will be disappointed and upset!"

I watched Zhao Ming call her "Aunt Gu" repeatedly, and it was utterly hypocritical.

Zhao Ming was simply using "Aunt Gu" as a shield.

He used the name "Aunt Gu" on the surface to earnestly advise Aunt Gu and Gu Yao, but in reality, it was still for his own selfish desires.

“Hey, Zhao Ming, I know you mean well for my mom, but I don’t know why, I suddenly feel really conflicted and confused. I need some time to calm down and sort things out. Let’s get married after I’ve sorted things out.”

Zhao Ming's lips twitched slightly.

I could tell that Zhao Ming was extremely unhappy; the beast inside him was already roaring in anger.

However, the person speaking was Gu Yao.

He could only put on a fawning smile and speak in a magnanimous tone.

"Okay, Gu Yao, I respect your decision! I'll explain things to Aunt Gu on your behalf, so don't worry. Take this time to adjust yourself."

A relieved smile appeared on Gu Yao's face.

"Zhao Ming, thank you. In this world, besides my mother, you are the only one who treats me the best and understands my heart the most."

Zhao Ming's fake smile.

"Sigh, that's why I understand you so well—we grew up together!"

"Yeah, you're right."

After Gu Yao finished her reflections...

She suddenly glanced at me, and the smile on her face vanished.

Gu Yao said, "Seeing Lu Yi makes me feel unlucky, and my mood immediately sours."

Taking the opportunity, Zhao Ming said, "Then I'll have someone kick him out!"

At this moment, Zhao Ming's henchmen all stood up, ready to throw me out.

But Gu Yao said, "Forget it, Lu Yi is my mother's godson after all. No matter how bad his character is, I can't really do anything to him."

Gu Yao thought of something and looked at Zhao Ming.

"Zhao Ming, there was a fire at the correctional facility recently, and Lu Yi can no longer stay there."

“I don’t want him to follow me around. Having a man with me all the time makes it easy for people to gossip, and it’s also inconvenient.”

"How about this, you bring Zhao Ming to the company and give him an easy and simple position."

"On one hand, let him get back to the company environment, and on the other hand, observe how well he's making the transformation?"

My face changed instantly when I heard this.

Gu Yao sent me to work under Zhao Ming.

Wouldn't that send me from one abyss to another?

Zhao Ming heard this.

What was initially a deep displeasure due to the postponement of the wedding suddenly turned into overwhelming joy.

He had long suspected that I had said something to Gu Yao.

That's why Gu Yao postponed her wedding.

Zhao Ming's mind is now filled with thoughts of how to teach me a lesson and torture me severely!

Gu Yao just happened to hand this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to him.

Zhao Ming nodded without hesitation.

"Gu Yao, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Lu Yi!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ming deliberately emphasized the word "take care of," implying something was amiss.

But Gu Yao didn't realize it.

After all, in her mind, I was always the bad guy, the one who caused trouble for Zhao Ming.

And the role Zhao Ming plays in her heart.

She has always been a generous, wise, and proactive advisor who helps me solve problems.
