Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Catching Adultery in Hotel 1
Translator: 549690339
I rubbed my temples, lost in thought.
Indeed, the Song family definitely won’t let this slide.
Because, I am uncle’s only beloved niece.
Uncle Song Shixiong had only one sister in his life, my mother, Song Lanzhu.
He dearly loved his only little sister.
Regrettably, my mother was frail and left this world not long after my birth.
I then sought shelter with my uncle, and he transferred all the love for his late sister onto me.
All that the rich heiresses in high society had, I had them too.
Even what they didn’t have, I also owned.
Ever since I was young, I was the one who received all the love, and Gu Yuanzhou was my uncle’s most trusted subordinate.
Our wedded union had everyone’s attention; no one expected this tragic occurrence.
Wenya was puzzled and asked:
“But from what we can see now, the Song family hasn’t react much?”
“l guess Gu Yuanzhou handled it well. Perhaps, he has already knelt down and apologized to my uncle behind closed doors.”
However, I will not pay attention to the Song family’s response for now.
What is concerning me now is, why would Gu Yuanzhou have private interactions with He Manyi?
If He Manyi is not the homewrecker, then who is the real one?
I made a call to Shen Yishu, informing him not to expose He Manyi for now. The appearance of this woman is not a good thing for the Song family.
Time passed swiftly…
In the time that came next, I successfully transferred the house property with the agency. The ordered appliances were also installed one by one.
Afterwards, I reminded Gu Yuanzhou that there was no furniture in the house.
His reply was that he had already ordered bespoke furniture for the entire house, and they would be delivered and installed soon.
Over the next few days, Ye Mengyan took me to participate in a TIF fashion
design championship.
Actually, I am currently not in the mood for such matters, but since Ye Mengyan had already registered for me, I casually played along.
A week later…
It was time to end the workday, as I pushed the office door open, a seemingly lonely figure came into sight.
Deep as a lone wolf!
The cigarette in his hand flickered intermittently.
A man who used to rule the world also has moments of melancholy like this. I did not dare to disturb him and as I was about to leave, he called out to me.
“How’s the lawsuit going?”
“The property management company claims it’s not their fault! They are willing to make a ‘humanitarian’ compensation of thirty thousand yuan to us! But refuse to apologize publicly!’
Gu Yuanzhou seemed to be not satisfied with this outcome and instructed me to find a way to follow up on it.
Soon after, he added:
“Hire a housekeeper, for Beilu Hill villa, one who is agile and observant.” I understood immediately, “When will the villa be occupied, approximately?”
“Moved in?”
Gu Yuanzhou was taken aback for a moment, rubbing his brows before responding.
“Tomorrow, I guess!”
“Okay, I’ll sort out the housekeeper today!”
I found a housekeeper that very night.
To ensure everything would run smoothly, I specifically instructed her to call me if Gu Yuanzhou ever brought a woman home.
It was after ten at night when the housekeeper called me.
“Miss Song, Mr. Gu has arrived.”
“Did he bring a woman with him?”
“Well…l can’t tell! Why don’t you come and see for yourself?”
After hanging up the call, I became anxious and caught a taxi in the middle of the night, heading straight for Beilu Hill.
The housekeeper was waiting for me at the main entrance, her face filled with anxiety.
“Mr. Gu is in the room!”
“Alright.”
With the thrilling thrill of exposing an affair, tension surged within me.
After all this time, I finally have the chance to catch his mistress.
However, as I stepped foot into the house, 1 was dumbfounded.
In fact, when Gu Yuanzhou mentioned yesterday about having his woman move in here today, 1 had been speculating all the way here about who this woman could be.
That’s why I was both excited and nervous during my journey here.
But the moment I entered, I felt as if I had stepped into an ice cellar.
Maybe the valley was too dark.
So, when you step into a room with lights, it feels exceptionally warm.
It even evokes a feeling of returning home.
Just this feeling.
The few times I had come here before, because the house was not yet fully redecorated, I couldn’t perceive any indications.
I didn’t even discover anything when I came last time to supervise the workers installing the appliances.
Now, the cabinets in the house were all done, and the furniture was all in place, even including decorative items and curtains.
That’s when it struck me.
This house was an exact duplicate of our Golden Bay villa.
Every single aspect, from the layout of the house, the positioning, to the tablecloths, the style and color of the sofas, and even the candlestick patterns on the dining table, were exactly the same.
At this moment, I felt like I had returned home.
The home that was yet to be razed to the ground.
The suffocating feeling overwhelmed me again, and I nearly lost control…
But at the same time, I was wrapped in a sense of dread.
Could it be that Gu Yuanzhou has been suspicious of me?
He knew that I returned after death, and to verify my identity, he deliberately set up a trap for me, he might be secretly watching me now.
If I lose my composure at this moment.
Then he would see through me.
With these thoughts, I quickly composed myself.
“Didn’t you say that Mr. Gu brought a woman home?” I quietly asked the housekeeper.
The villa was large, but there was no sign of life.
Instead, an eerie feeling dominated, even the tabletop littered with flowers didn’t mask the scent of incense.
It felt as if this place was a Yin Mansion, and not a place for the living.
On hearing my words, the housekeeper pointed towards the center of the living room, looking strange…
I moved a bit closer to the altar in the center.
Only then did I notice the incense and candles burning atop it, with a black and white portrait, as well as ancestral tablets.
There were three of them!
They represented me, and my two children.
Tears welled up in my eyes…
I quietly retreated and fled.
No wonder the property agent said that this villa was bought for his wife, it turned out to be true,
The next day, after calming my emotions, I told Wenya everything.
After hearing everything, Wenya was just as shocked.
“No wonder he bought a house on the shady side; he was buying a Yin Mansion. Was it for you and the two kids to lead a better life in the netherworld?”
I remained silent.
Truthfully speaking, this indeed seemed like something a devoted man would do.
And this is something that fits within my perception of what Gu Yuanzhou could do.
Is he still in love with us?
“Ah, Ayun!’
“Wenya, join me for a drink!”
“Ayun, do you think that God allowed you to be reborn in order for you to renew your relationship with Gu Yuanzhou?”
Wenya’s words were quickly interrupted by a man who had stormed in.
“Gu Yuanzhou is that stupid?”
The cold voice was filled with heavy sarcasm.
The tall figure of the man blocked the light.
It took me a while to make out his figure.
It was him again, Xu Yinuo!
“What do you mean?”
