Chapter 289: Chapter 288: Can’t Find Him (8)
Gu Ningyi... why is he investigating the events of the year he lost his sight related to Dong Xin Yan?
Why?
Could it be... has he found out something, or is he suspicious of something?
Zhou Yalin stared wide-eyed, fixedly focusing on the document in her hand as her hand trembled, nearly unable to hold it steady.
The reason she could be Gu Ningyi’s fiancée, stay by his side all along, and run away so willfully without worrying about him discarding her, was because of that incident back then.
That was her greatest reliance, her greatest advantage.
However, if the events of that year are discovered by Gu Ningyi, she would lose everything overnight, have nothing left.
So, what does this investigation represent?
Could it be that Gu Ningyi knows about what happened back then?
No, it can’t be. He won’t know about those past events; everything was concealed so perfectly, every trace wiped clean. He won’t know anything.
Right, he won’t know.
Even if there’s this investigation, so what? There’s nothing to show in this investigation, it’s clean, reasonable.
So, even in the worst-case scenario, Gu Ningyi might only have suspicions.
No, that’s not right, the worst-case scenario is... Dong Xin Yan.
She is the most unstable factor.
Since she went to the United States, she hasn’t seen her, so could anything have changed in the past six months? Did Dong Xin Yan... recall something?
-
Dong Xin Yan arrived at the Gu Group by car, paid the fare, and got off.
Standing at the entrance, she clenched her fist lightly, took a few deep breaths, and then stepped forward to walk inside.
These days, she had been coming here almost every day, so the receptionist was already familiar with her and quickly greeted her, "Miss Dong, you’re here again."
Dong Xin Yan responded blandly, then got straight to the point, "Did Gu Ningyi come to the company today?"
The receptionist shook her head and replied, "Miss Dong, Mr. Gu still hasn’t come to the company today."
The last thread of hope ultimately shattered.
Although Dong Xin Yan had mentally prepared herself, at this moment, her heart inexplicably welled up with a trace of disappointment.
After all, she once truly... believed in him.
But unfortunately, reality mercilessly slapped her in the face.
She was clearly very angry, but strangely, she felt more disappointment.
Dong Xin Yan gently furrowed her refined brows, unwilling to be troubled by such emotions, she closed her eyes briefly, suppressed it forcefully, and then opened her eyes again.
Since that’s the case, she had no other choice but to go and find Madam Gu.
Just as Dong Xin Yan turned and was about to step away, a voice from behind, unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar, called out, "Dong Xin Yan."
She turned back in confusion, saw the person behind her, her dark eyes slightly widened with surprise flashing through, and hesitantly spoke, "Zhou... Yalin?"
-
In the VIP ward, silence prevailed.
The man stood by the window, his handsome face slightly raised, as sunlight streamed in through the window, warmly spilling over his face. He closed his eyes, feeling the gentle touch of light, while the once noisy voice echoed in his ears inadvertently.
"Gu Ningyi, how is it? You can’t see the sunlight, but you can still feel it, right? So, I say, being blind isn’t a big deal, let alone if you take good care of yourself, there’s still a chance to recover. So, stop giving up on yourself, be a man, will you!"
Gu Ningyi curled his lips into an involuntary, light laugh.
