Chapter 407: Chapter 407 She Felt Cold in Her Heart_1
"He stopped me, he said he wouldn’t let us go, he wanted revenge. Then, he..." Ye Lu might feel apprehensive, but she still spoke, "He pinned me against the railing, forcefully kissed me, and deliberately left those marks on my neck and chest."
As Gu Yan listened, his face turned significantly paler, his fingers cramping.
"But from beginning to end, I was struggling, I didn’t do anything else with him. Don’t you understand, he did this on purpose, to humiliate me in public, to make you misunderstand me."
Ye Lu bursted out in an excited voice, filled with anger, but her heart still full of loss, unutterable sorrow piercing through her.
"If others don’t believe me, I can understand, but how could you not believe me? Have you considered me such a shameless woman, who would do these things behind your back? I never thought that you really did not believe me. You do not have any trust in me."
Her face was streaming with tears, feeling the situation extremely ironic.
She thought she had a happy future. Assuming that after experiencing so many twists and turns, their feelings could become firmer. But now, even this small matter could not stand the test.
Did they really have a future? How could they face the revenge of Third Young Master Jun together?
She started feeling unsure.
Seeing her in such grief, tears streaming down her face, Gu Yan’s heart softened, feeling guilty. He held her comfortingly, "I’m sorry. Seeing you like this, I lost my temper impulsively. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust you, but I lost my senses due to jealousy. You know that men can be jealous too."
"I understand." Ye Lu gently pushed him away, "I’m tired, I want to sleep."
"Alright." Gu Yan gently stroked her head, covered her with a quilt, and then left.
Ye Lu laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. She could understand his jealousy, but she still felt hurt.
His words pierced into her heart, making her feel like there was no trust between them.
She suddenly felt uncertain about their future.
She had always been daydreaming beautifully, thinking that they could become an envy-worthy couple, who loved and trusted each other unconditionally, sharing the ups and downs together.
But reality was far from what she imagined, leaving her feeling lost. It wasn’t supposed to be this way, Gu Yan should not have been like this either.
She suddenly remembered Aoxue’s words, "What you are pursuing is only your dream."
Her heart trembled with fear, she shook her head in denial.
No, she was not chasing a dream. She loved Gu Yan, hence she was with him. Yes, it certainly was like this.
Over the next few days, Gu Corporation encountered many troubles.
Ye Lu finally faced Third Young Master Jun’s revenge, not just words, but thorough actions, throwing the Gu Clan into complete chaos.
Ye Lu originally thought that a large enterprise like the Gu Corporation, wouldn’t be easily affected by Third Young Master Jun’s actions.
But she underestimated Third Young Master Jun’s prowess and scheming, he didn’t go head-on with the Gu Corporation, but used many cunning methods, leaving Gu Corporation in disarray.
"A large group of workers are protesting at the entrance of Gu Corporation." The PR Department manager anxiously reported at the villa.
Gu Yan frowned, "What’s going on?"
"It’s the construction workers from the ongoing A project. They claim we’ve withheld their wages, and now they’ve drawn a lot of attention from the media, creating a substantial blow to our group’s reputation."
"Project A was outsourced to another construction company, so they are responsible for these workers’ wages. If there’s a delay, they should not come to Gu Corporation. Gu Corporation has no such responsibility." Gu Yan’s face darkened.
