Chapter 537: Something Was amiss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing Gu Chen’s furious expression, Gu Zhuo involuntarily took a step back. How could he forget that this man was notoriously jealous?

“Let me explain. I don’t intend to compete with you for anything,” Gu Zhuo said, feeling his heart was about to stop. “You all know I’m not cut out for this; it’s my dad who’s forcing me.”

He raised his hand to swear, “I definitely won’t compete with you for Song Fan, really!”

“Hah!” Gu Chen sneered. “Do you even deserve it?”

He then directly pulled Song Fan out of the laboratory, leaving the colleagues inside excitedly gossiping about the drama.

Only when they reached Gu Chen’s office did he finally let go. By then, Song Fan’s face was as red as a ripe apple. Along the way, everyone in the Gu Corporation had stared at them, making her feel more embarrassed than ever.

“Gu Chen!” Song Fan snapped, unable to bear it any longer. “What’s gotten into you?”

Song Fan rubbed her slightly reddened wrist, trying to figure out what was going on with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen simply collapsed into his chair, his expression dark and unreadable.

“Are you okay?” Song Fan quickly moved forward and held his wrist. His heartbeat was rapid, but thankfully, there were no signs of poisoning.

Gu Chen directly hugged her waist. Song Fan tried to struggle, but he leaned his head against her abdomen, saying, “Let me rest for a while, just for a while.”

Song Fan was stunned. It was the first time she had seen Gu Chen so vulnerable.

They stayed in that position for a few minutes before Gu Chen finally released her and began talking about what had happened earlier.

When Gu Chen returned to the company, Gu Hai brought a group of senior executives to him, insisting that Gu Zhuo should join the core department. After all, with the marriage alliance between the Gu and Xu families, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Gu Zhuo to remain without a position.

“Is that why you’re so angry?” Song Fan couldn’t understand. With Gu Chen’s decisive methods, if he didn’t want it, he could simply suppress these people; there was no need to get angry.

Gu Chen sighed and took a necklace out of his pocket, handing it to Song Fan. “Gu Hai gave this to me. It’s my mother’s keepsake.” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Song Fan opened the necklace to see a photo of a man and a woman holding a child. The woman looked quite similar to Gu Chen, indicating they were his parents.

“Gu Hai said something suspicious happened back then. He has evidence that my mother’s death wasn’t an accident,” Gu Chen’s voice was low, clearly suppressing his emotions.

“Why didn’t he bring this out earlier?” Song Fan asked. “He’s not the type to keep calm.”

If Gu Hai had been calculating all along, he wouldn’t have needed to use small tricks like poisoning Gu Chen or hiring assassins. A direct psychological attack would have gotten him what he wanted.

“He must have come into contact with someone. We’ll have to take it one step at a time,” Gu Chen said tiredly, leaning back in his chair.

Song Fan understood his feelings. She too knew her mother’s death wasn’t straightforward, which was why she insisted on joining the Song Corporation.

She gently placed the necklace in Gu Chen’s hand and held his hand, “I’ll investigate with you. We will find out the truth sooner or later.”

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Xu Wen lay in a VIP room, eating an apple cut by Xia Yu, looking very content.

While everyone was preparing for her engagement to Gu Zhuo, she had been found to be pregnant. When Xia Yu saw the test results, he was so excited he couldn’t speak.

Xu Wen had gone from being his plaything to a treasure. Xia Yu, who had committed countless sins, never thought he could have his own child. Now, he saw Xu Wen as precious.

“Wenwen, do you want more water? Or maybe some milk?” Xia Yu asked gently, completely devoid of his previous ruthlessness.

Xu Wen gently touched her belly. “I can’t drink anything. My poison is acting up. Do you think this child can survive?”

She looked at Xia Yu coldly. She had never intended to give birth to his child, but seeing how much Xia Yu valued it, she planned to use it to her advantage.

Xia Yu’s expression changed. As a doctor, he knew the effects of the poison on the child. But he didn’t want to give up. Since coming to the capital and living a relatively normal life, he yearned for a family. He was determined to keep the child.

Xu Wen clung to his arm, looking pitifully at him. “I’ve done a lot of wrong things before, but the child is innocent. He’s your child too. Can you bear to see him gone?”

Xia Yu placed his hand gently on Xu Wen’s belly. He had kicked her here just a few days ago. Fortunately, the child had survived. But what if the poison caused complications? What could he do then?
