Miss Zuo, is it right for you to keep blaming everything on me?

Xu Weilai slowly put down her knife and fork. A snicker formed at the corner of her mouth, Theres always cause and effect in everything that happened. Gu Yu let me down. Why cant I hate him for that? All is fair in love and war. You lose in a game and refuse to admit defeat. Youre here mocking me instead, which is just scratching the surface of me. Isnt it a waste of effort?

As for whether Im fortunate enough to enjoy what I gained, its not your concern, Miss Zuo.

Zuo An walked past the entrance into the dining hall the moment she finished talking.

Infuriated by Xu Weilais words, Zuo Sis face went red with anger. She was about to retaliate when Zuo An stopped her without hesitation, as he knew nothing good would come out from Zuo Sis mouth, Zuo Si, youve already compromised. What right do you have to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others?

Zuo Sis anger flare was suppressed by Zuo Ans words.

Xu Weilai seemed to catch certain informations from the conversation between Zuo An and Zuo Si. What did it mean by Zuo Sis compromise? She accepted the failure result from this fight and even take Zuo Ans side in another way?

Zuo Si turned pale when she realised she had no words against Zuo An and Xu Weilai. She stood up sarcastically landed a final blow, As expected of engaged couples. Now I cant even say anything against her.

She shot a disdainful glance at Xu Weilai and left the dining hall.

She would not let herself to appear as a pitiful loser even in such a situation.

Zuo Ans gaze fell on Xu Weilais face. Both his voice and expression turned gentle. You dont have to take her words to heart. She can only mock me once or twice now.

Xu Weilai wasnt bothered by Zuo Sis mocking. Instead, she asked, What did you mean just now?

He walked into the dining hall towards Xu Weilai, pulled the chair beside her and sat down. He raised his hand and gestured towards the maid. The maid seemed to understand his hand gesture as she gave him a nod and walked into the kitchen to prepare his meal.

Zuo An turned his head to face her and answered, Gu Yus death will not be announced to the public for the time being. Instead, we announce that he had fallen ill during fathers birthday banquet. Father had a deal with Zuo Si that as long as shes willing to assist me in getting Gus Corporation, all the shares in Gu Yus hand will be hers. She will become the second-in-command of the Gu Corporation.

Fallen ill?

Xu Weilai repeated these two words to herself when she suddenly recalled. Have you already found out what illness Gu Yu has? Are you using this as an excuse to deceive the shareholders?

Gu Yu was already dead, while Xu Weilai and Zuo Si had always been at loggerheads with each other. What they said to each other just now would just mean that there was no possibility for them to work together. What top Zuo Ans priority now was to treat Xu Weilai with pure sincerity and to have a try on having the genuine love that she mentioned before.

Therefore, Zuo An answered her question with any intention to conceal anything from her, Ive always known about Gu Yus illness.

Really?

Zuo An clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. He re-considered his words for a moment as he was worried that he would provoke Xu Weilai again if he were to say the wrong thing. He pondered for a moment and said softly, Or rather, his illness is also part of our plan.

Gu Yus illness was part of their plan?

He was the reason behind Gu Yus illness?

Xu Weilai unconsciously clenched her fists. State clearly on what happened?

Zuo An said nothing else. He observed Xu Weilais expressions instead.
