After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Zheng Yuanxi smiled gently again, her slender arm lightly taking her hand, and led her back to the stage.

Then he announced loudly to the audience, "Actually, the reason for holding this tea party today is not only to thank everyone for their service to the company over the years, but also to express my sincere gratitude to Zhiyao for donating bone marrow to me, giving me the opportunity to be reborn. Zhiyao is my savior, someone I will remember for the rest of my life, and my good friend!"

Wow!

Everyone present was utterly shocked, and they all looked at Gu Zhiyao with expressions of surprise, envy, jealousy, and so on.

Gu Zhiyao was completely taken aback by Zheng Yuanxi's actions and was immediately stunned.

She felt Zheng Yuanxi's deep kindness and gratitude during her last visit to the hospital.

Indeed, if she were saved from the brink of death, she would be very grateful to the person who helped her and would remember their kindness for the rest of her life.

But she still didn't expect Zheng Yuanxi to come to the company in person to thank her!

To announce this to the world in front of so many people.

What exactly is Zheng Yuanxi's purpose in doing this?

Gu Zhiyao suddenly remembered her relationship with He Yi. Could it be that Zheng Yuanxi knew something? But Zheng Yuanxi's sincere smile and kind eyes clearly showed that she didn't know anything about her and He Yi.

"Zhiyao is a senior specialist in our legal department. She is not only diligent but also has excellent work ability. She has handled many outstanding cases. We hope that everyone will cooperate with Zhiyao more in the future so that she can better serve our company!" Zheng Yuanxi continued in a clear voice, her gaze returning to Gu Zhiyao, looking at her with a warm smile.

She picked up two glasses of red wine, handing one to Gu Zhiyao and keeping the other for herself. "Zhiyao, thank you again for saving me. I'll come to see you often if I have the chance!"

After Zheng Yuanxi finished speaking, she looked at the tall and upright figure beside her and called out happily, "Ayi, come here for a moment."

He Yi was also stunned by the scene before him.

He hadn't expected Zheng Yuanxi to pull this stunt. To be honest, he wasn't happy. He didn't want Zheng Yuanxi and Gu Zhiyao to have any entanglements or relationships. He even regretted agreeing to let Zheng Yuanxi host this small tea party.

Zheng Yuanxi had already come over and taken his arm. He had no choice but to suppress his complicated thoughts for the time being, resume his usual aloof demeanor, and come with Zheng Yuanxi to Gu Zhiyao.

At this moment, Gu Zhiyao was even more confused. She didn't even dare to look at He Yi. She could feel the cold light emanating from He Yi's eyes that was enough to freeze her.

But what gives him the right?!

"Zhiyao, although Ayi usually appears aloof and dignified in front of others, that's just his personality. He's actually very kind at heart. Although you two are boss and employee, you're different. You're my good friend, so you treat Ayi differently. Ayi, you should give Zhiyao more opportunities at work!"

“Thank you, Ms. Zheng. Actually, I…” Gu Zhiyao began hesitantly.

"I know you don't want to go through all this. You have your own abilities, but even abilities need opportunities, right? So don't hold back with me!"

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, her head bowed low.

Honestly, she didn't know how to face Zheng Yuanxi. She even felt guilty, as if she had taken away something that originally belonged to Zheng Yuanxi.

According to the gossip of those women, He Yi has already proposed to Zheng Yuanxi, but she and He Yi are still married. This means that He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi's wedding will have to wait at least two or three months. When they register their marriage then, Zheng Yuanxi will naturally find out that He Yi is a divorcee, and she will gradually find out that she is his ex-wife. He Yi will also explain the whole reason to Zheng Yuanxi. After learning that she used such methods to force He Yi, will Zheng Yuanxi still be grateful to her? Is she really that friendly?

No, Zheng Yuanxi will probably want to kill her then!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhiyao suddenly shivered, feeling a deep chill creep up from the soles of her feet.

So she had no idea what Zheng Yuanxi said next. By the time she came to her senses, Zheng Yuanxi had already left, and He Yi had also disappeared without a trace.

"Sister Zhiyao, so it was you who donated bone marrow to Miss Zheng! That's wonderful! I think Miss Zheng is very grateful to you. She must have held this tea party today to announce to the company that no one should look down on you, and that those women who are jealous of you will no longer dare to be arrogant!" Zhong Jiahui's joyful voice rang in her ears, and she was overjoyed.

Gu Zhiyao was absent-minded and distracted. After the tea party ended and everyone dispersed, Gu Zhiyao returned to her department.

Just as Zhong Jiahui said, her colleagues came over to congratulate her, which may have been an attempt to curry favor with her, while Lisa and her group were furious.

Anxi didn't attend the tea party; she learned the news from everyone. She immediately called Gu Zhiyao into her office and scolded her, "You! You pulled off such a big operation without a word, even keeping it from me. Looks like I'm not that close to you after all..."

"Sister An, I..."

"I was just kidding. Do you think I don't know your personality?" Anxi quickly laughed again, then said seriously, "Zheng Yuanxi's arrangement today is clearly to help you. You should make good use of this favor. Although we rely on our strength, wouldn't it be easier if we didn't have those underhanded tactics?"

“Yes, I understand,” Gu Zhiyao replied.

"Work hard! I knew it! God won't let down hardworking and capable people. I can imagine how brilliant your future will be in this industry, Zhiyao. I'm waiting to see you shine and become the most dazzling star," Anxi said passionately.

If Gu Zhiyao had heard these words before, she would have been very excited and looking forward to it.

But she knew none of that would happen. If she got pregnant after three months, she would resign, leave, and cut off all ties with everyone she had with. And even if she didn't get pregnant, Zheng Yuanxi wouldn't allow her to continue working at the company after learning the truth.

"What's wrong?" Anxi raised an eyebrow.

Gu Zhiyao shook her head and said, "We'll see, Sister An. I'll work hard!"

"That's true. No one can predict or be certain about the future. All we can do is focus on the present. You go ahead and get busy. Take care of yourself, especially if you're trying to conceive!"

"Okay. Thank you, Sister An."

Anxi nodded, and Gu Zhiyao left.

Not long after Gu Zhiyao returned to her workstation, she received a call from Quan Xinyu.

Now, whenever Gu Zhiyao receives a call from Quan Xinyu, she immediately guesses that it's He Yi looking for her, and a strange sense of repulsion arises in her heart, but she has no choice but to answer.

As expected, Quan Xinyu said that the president had something to tell her and asked when would be a convenient time for her to come to his office.

Gu Zhiyao did as she was told.

Quan Xinyu first politely invited her to sit down, but Gu Zhiyao shook her head, "No need, just say what you want to say."

Quan Xinyu was displeased, so he directly explained He Yi's meaning, "Tonight, Miss Zheng will be holding a formal celebration at the Zheng family villa, and she will probably invite you. The president hopes you won't accept her invitation; just find some excuse to decline."

As expected, it's something related to Jung Won-hee again!

Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but recall that day after she met Zheng Yuanxi at the hospital, He Yi couldn't wait to warn her, and now he was so anxious again.
