My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again Chapter 686 – Would You Even Understand What Love Is? (Chapter 2)

Chapter 686: Would You Even Understand What Love Is? (2)

“Great, that’s just what I needed,” Xu Weilai thought.

She took in a deep breath of air and, pretending as if nothing had happened, replied mechanically like a standard customer service officer, “Alright, please wait for a moment.”

She then rose to her feet and made her way towards the pantry.

Her colleagues, who had gathered in groups to gossip about her, immediately dispersed when they saw her and returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.

Xu Weilai could easily tell that they were discussing probably discussing the events that happened at the cocktail party yesterday.

As she was in an awkward position, to begin with, none of her colleagues dared to warm up to her. Now that this had happened, things became even worse.

From everyone’s point of view, she was simply an ex-wife who couldn’t let go of the past.

Although they felt rather sympathetic towards her, as Gu Yu was the CEO of the Gu Corporation, they couldn’t afford to be friendly to her for it was more important for them to preserve their jobs.

However, Xu Weilai was not the least bothered by their attitude. She had made her decision to trod down this path and had also achieved her goal and thus, would not care about their opinion of her.

She entered the pantry and operated the coffee machine skillfully. She then took out a clean cup and filled it up with coffee. She subconsciously wanted to add some milk but quickly stopped in hindsight.

“Big Boss drinks Americano, just like the rest of them who only seem to like Americano,” Xu Weilai mused.

After placing the milk back, she turned with the cup in her hands and spotted Zuo Si who was walking in. She casually nodded at her, but just when she was about to leave, Zuo Si strode up to her and blocked her path.

Xu Weilai came to a stop and stared right into her eyes.

With a frigid smile on her face, Zuo Si remarked, “Xu Weilai, I’ve underestimated you. You’ve put up a good act yesterday.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Xu Weilai replied with a beam. “But you don’t have to be so depressed. Your marriage will only be pushed back slightly. It couldn’t possibly be cancelled, could it?”

“Unless… you could make Gu Yu love you to the point that he would gladly give up everything for you. But, haven’t you always despised love? You and Gu Yu are both heartless so I don’t suppose you would even understand what I’m saying, would you?”

Zuo Si’s smile gradually faded off from her face when she heard Xu Weilai’s rebuttal.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have to deliver the coffee to my boss,” Xu Weilai replied.

She then brushed past Zuo Si and strutted out of the pantry with her head held high.

The nosy onlookers who had gathered at the entrance to the panty instantly scattered off and pretended not to hear anything.

However, once Xu Weilai left, they immediately gathered together. Everyone was shocked by how Xu Weilai managed to crush Zuo Si with her aura and render her speechless with just a few words of rebuttal earlier on. They couldn’t help but feel impressed by how strong she was.

Everyone had expected Xu Weilai to be a scheming and manipulative girl who was skilled in making use of her weak appearances to gain sympathy.

Now, Xu Weilai had really gone all out to pit herself against Gu Yu and Zuo Si. It seemed like she had completely taken the side of Vice President Zuo and was going to exact her revenge on CEO Gu in person.

Everyone couldn’t figure out what sparked the sudden change in her.

…

When Xu Weilai reached the door to Zuo An’s office, she took in a deep breath to prepare herself mentally before she then lifted her hand to rap on the door.

“Come on in.”

After Xu Weilai pushed the door open, she strolled over and placed the cup of coffee on Zuo An’s desk. Lowering her eyes slightly and avoiding Zuo An’s eyes, she informed, “Here’s your coffee.”

“Thank you.”

Zuo An held up the drink and took a sip before he looked up at Xu Weilai and asked with concern, “Have you sobered up?”

“I knew it. It’s impossible to avoid this topic,” Xu Weilai thought.

Nodding her head, she replied, “I have. But… I’m sorry. I had a little too much yesterday and was completely knocked out. You were the one who sent me home, weren’t you? Thanks so much!”
