He muttered to himself, "Mu Yan loves me; he loves me the most. He won't abandon me."
Gu Ning had been kneeling for a week, and eventually, her body couldn't take it anymore, causing her to faint and be sent to the hospital. Someone posted a video of Gu Ning kneeling at the company entrance online. Netizens followed the trail and uncovered my past as a bodyguard, releasing several old photos as proof. During the years I worked as her bodyguard, Gu Ning always treated me coldly and with disdain.
One comment briefly recounted a kidnapping case from three years ago, emphasizing how Gu Ning disregarded my life and allowed the kidnappers to throw me into the sea. I recognized it as Su Ying's alternate account. This comment quickly gained traction and sparked outrage.
"Gu Ning is truly despicable! She only licks up to people now that she's become a rich second generation."
"Is her family going bankrupt? She deserves it."
"She should just be locked down with Qin Yang, that good-for-nothing, and stop harming others!"
The Gu Group was already on shaky ground, and Gu Ning's actions further tarnished its reputation. In contrast, my company benefited from the situation, with stock prices soaring. Under pressure, Gu Ning publicly apologized online and posted a lengthy essay filled with expressions of love and regret towards me. However, netizens were not convinced; they felt she was being insincere and only trying to save her company. After all, everyone understands that late affection is less valuable than genuine remorse!
After that, Gu Ning disappeared from my life and never reappeared. One day, while I was focused on a contract, Su Ying knocked and entered. After placing down the coffee, she didn't leave immediately but stood quietly beside me.
I looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Ying replied, "Gu Ning attempted suicide by cutting her wrists last night. She has been suffering from severe depression for two or three years." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I also heard she was holding an album when she died."
My fingers froze over the documents for a moment before I regained my composure.
It was as if I had heard some shocking news; once I processed it, I felt no emotion left. I never expected that album would be discovered by Gu Ning. Su Ying saw my silence and thought I was too grief-stricken to speak, holding her breath as she looked at me.
"She’s gone, you’re very sad, aren’t you?"
I shook my head. "Honestly, I don’t feel anything special." Gu Ning had hurt me deeply before; I couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. I hadn’t done anything wrong to her, and her suicide due to depression was not my fault. It can only be said that this was the ending she chose for herself.
The the Gu Family even called me, asking me to attend Gu Ning's funeral, claiming it was her last wish. I refused without hesitation. There was no need for us to meet again in life or death.
From then on, my mind was focused on work. I truly had no talent for business, but fortunately, Su Ying was by my side, tirelessly helping me. Without her, I doubt my career would have gone so smoothly.
The following year, the company’s performance doubled. I smiled and asked her what reward she wanted. Just as she hesitated between wanting me to treat her to a big meal or buy her a handbag, she heard me ask, "How about considering a change of position?"
Su Ying's expression changed in surprise. "You want to transfer me?" I chuckled lightly. "No, I want to invite you to be the boss lady."
Her eyes instantly turned red. I had known for a long time that she had a crush on me; I just hadn’t said it out loud. As a man, I should take the initiative.
Su Ying cried as she threw herself into my arms. I reached out and held her steadily, just like catching the happiness that belonged to me.
